RUBY LASER CANNON!!!!

View attachment 5261
Before 7.3.0, the laser cannon was a beast. It was my most favorite and most used weapon (before i found out about the 1 shot weapons). It had the highest dps among all the primary weapons (it was a premium but lets just act like its a primary). Its only downside is that it dosent have a scope and it has a really long reload time (not many players know about the fast reload glitch at that time). Players who chooses the laser cannon had to sacrifice their long ranged capabilities for extra damage.
Now, its still decently good, but not as strong as weapons like the hellraiser and the peacemaker. I would like it to get an upgrade (ruby laser cannon) so that it can get back its 'strongest primary' spot. Why should it be stronger than the hellraiser and the peacemaker? Thats because it dosent have a scope like the hellraiser and a large ammo capacity like the peacemaker. The only thing unique with the laser cannon is its damage, and thats why it should not be weaker than the hellraiser or the peacemaker.
Let me know what you think about this. Should it be added? Feel free to comment about what you think.

Yes. Just don't add damage.

Sigh. This is why i want armor nerfed instead of buffing all weapons. As soon as i talk about buffing a weapon, you guys will all say its op and stuff, when its nothing compared to guns like the laser minigun and dater hater. If you guys want weapons to be buffed instead of armor nerfed (the majority of the forums want this), then all the weapons, or at least the top tier ones should be as strong as the laser minigun.

This is one thing you have to understand, @Gatorrex. Armor would have become nonsensical if it had been nerfed.

Well, here we go again.

First of all, @DirectorScorm is right. What's the point of using armour when it's weak?

Well, that was one really short hell of a kiddy roller coaster ride.

@Gatorrex ,There's a different between the laser minigun and the Crystal Laser Cannon. One shoots faster and has better accuracy (CLC) one has far more damage but moves slower than the other (LM). You gotta realize that theres ALWAYS going to be op weapons and sucky weapons. And the majority of the forum wants armor nerfed,BUT do the majority of the PLAYERS want it nerfed removed? If every gun was strong as the laser minigun,then we'll have a bigger problem on are hands. Armor is not going away because if they removed armor and left the guns the way they are,nobody would survive for a second. Or what Director said.

I said nerfed not removed. Which means lower armor points like 30 max instead of 50 (remove the helmet?) The difference isnt so great that you will be killed instantly vs killed in 10 seconds. But the difference is enough so that the strongest primaries wont be useless against ruby armored players. The strongest dps primary now is the hellraiser. But compared to the laser minigun, the laser minigun does like 4x more dps, so much that mobility and accuracy (you dont always have to hold down the fire button so long until the accuracy becomes bad) dosent even matter. If armor is nerfed, the only gun that needs to be nerfed is the laser minigun (yes, the explosives blast radius should be lowered). There isnt really that many weapons that will be op if armor is nerfed. The rest of the weapons are fairly balanced in terms of cost and strength. If armor wont be nerfed, the top tier weapons should be the same strength as the laser minigun (same strength = same dps). Some weapons can have lower dps and higher mobility/scope/ammo cap.
And btw, the hellraiser and the peacemaker's accuracy is changed. Their accuracy is basically the same as the crystal laser cannon. So what i want for the laser cannon is for its damage per shot to be 3 instead of 2 (same as hellraiser). It will still be balanced with the hellraiser as the laser cannon will have higher fire rate but the hellraiser has a scope.

But what if in order to upgrade the Ruby Cannon, you need gems?

I say yes cause I use that gun a lot and I want it to be stronger just make it so it doesn't cost gems cause then there is no point adding it (I also want an update for eindringling that increases mobility and fire rate)
