Spartan_0214 18 #28 Posted September 17, 2009 I still think the Blutsauger is better because even though your rate of self-healing is lower, your gun has the ability to generate health for you, given you can aim worth a damn. Wait, what? All it does is lower the your healing rate. Why would it be better than the needle gun? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
+Henry Spencer 117 #29 Posted September 17, 2009 Both guns do the same amount of damage and have the same crit chance. Though one lowers your self-healing rate, it can generate health for you. I see that as a bonus in 99% of the situations you'll be in. And in the scenario where there's nobody to shoot, all you have to do is switch away from it.

phantom 29 #32 Posted September 18, 2009 I think you might be misunderstanding what the -2 HP/second actually does. It doesn't hurt you at all, just locks your self-regen rate in at a max of 4 HP/second, as opposed to the full 6 HP/second. Also, the effect is only active when you actually have the gun out, so if you're doing your job and healing, you'll be regenerating health at the normal rate. I still think the Blutsauger is better because even though your rate of self-healing is lower, your gun has the ability to generate health for you, given you can aim worth a damn. thats how it should work, cause if you think about the heavies gru, imagine that health drain the entire time. no one would use it. but i just tested this and if you have it equipped at all, your health regen is -2. so you have the old regen with it equipped period.

+Henry Spencer 117 #33 Posted September 18, 2009 What? No way... they must've done a hotfix at some point here, because I know for a fact the full 6 HP a second was working when I tried this. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
phantom 29 #34 Posted September 18, 2009 What? No way... they must've done a hotfix at some point here, because I know for a fact the full 6 HP a second was working when I tried this. maybe that was when it wasnt draining health. thats was one of the things the 2nd update that day fixed.

Spartan_0214 18 #35 Posted September 18, 2009 Ah. A misunderstanding of the new function of the blutsauger. Stupid fix overall, IMO. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
