    I've been seeing a lot of people complain about donor guns being underpowered.
    They should be underpowered.
    Why?

    Donor items are not something to give you instant 100% pwnage.
    If that was true, we'd have a OHK minigun for $20 or something.

    Then what are donor guns for? They suck!
    Fun.
    Clean, plain fun.

    If you haven't noticed, all the donor guns are extremely different from normal guns.
    They're niche guns.
    They may suck, but they're fun guns. Not actual legit guns.

    There's a reason you can't get a high score in TDM with donor guns.
    They aren't made for being a high-score primary weapon.
    Fun. They're made. For fun.

    Donor guns are for having a round off to relax and mess around with a gun that acts different.
    They're not for going 40-0 rambo kill streaks.
    That's what you have your OP prestige guns for.

    psh get on my level i pull emps/nukes without prestige guns

    I agree. However the main reason I feel they should be, is that any person, any level, can donate for them. Imagine if all PVTS had one hit kill guns, or could get them. Also, yes they are fun. I've had a blast just charging people with the minigun, you can just mow down people, and even if you die during the rush, you still have the satisfaction of seeing 10-20 bullets flying at your enemies.

    Do you even have any donor weapons? Because donor weapons are OP as hell. Have you even seen all the people who complain about them?

    The Law is underpowered? It completely wrecks in infect. I've seen people go 110+ with it. It's a oneshot if a direct hit, and not to mention splash damage hits multiple targets.

    The Demolisher is overpowered too. With the fact that you can one-shot no scope anyone 256 blocks away AND have splash damage is just overwhelming. Be afraid.

    The Flamethrower isn't as overpowered, but it still has its advantages. With constant fire charges in your face, you can't see jack. And if you even try to take cover after being hit, chances are that you'll burn to death,

    The Minigun is another gun that isn't as overpowered, but is still fairly decent. With an extremely fast rate of fire, you can sweep down groups of enemies within seconds.

    And not to mention other donator gear such as C4, molotovs, grenades, flashbangs, tomahawks, superknives, AND all the perks. Everything has its advantages. Donator equipment is already decent as is, and should not be buffed or nerfed.

    Donor guns should have the same power as other guns. The point is they're unique. Unique look, name, fire rate, bullets.

    No, I don't. I have 0 donor items/perks. (only level 28, too)
    And yeah, I think they're overpowered. In some cases.

    TBH I own most of the donor people.
    The only reason I'm pissed is because they think they have skill using OP perks.

    Edit -
    Also, this post was a statement on the current state of donor weapons.
    Not a post asking for buff/nerf.

    The Demolisher is the only one i have a problem with. With scavenger its basically the Isolator without the need for quickscoping, and no bullet delay time. Splash damage really isn't that good on the thing for tdm and so forth, but for infect its godly.

    The donor guns are OP. they should be as strong as the strongest player weapon. You have it all wrong. this thread is built on wrongness...

    Right now, law sucks. Even for infect somewhat. Minigun is only good one left.

    Well, to be honest, most donators don't buy just guns, they buy perks to to make the not as op gun, more OP.

    Dont forget that donor guns are used for tactical purposes too. The law can be used for clearing large number of groups in an area and camp for lots of kills in infect. Flamethrower to blind people for capturing flag. Minigun for holding back large number of zombies coming through. Ray gun in hard to camp infect maps such as slums and kill house.

    I honestly am puzzled at why people get offended when they are called law noobs and donor noobs... You could just ignore them and if their insulting becomes extreme just report them? It honestly isn't that hard to deal with.

    actually law doesn't suck neither does flamethrower or any donor guns, minigun isn't that different from a non donor gun it has bullets with no special effect the only thing different about minigun is the endless mag, i actually find that some donor guns are less fun to use than normal guns like i find law pretty boring to use same with demolisher, flamethrower and minigun are fun to use though, and i get high scores with donor guns when i use them plus the whole server is for fun not just donor weapons, if only the donor weapons where for fun the server would suck.

    Some of you guys don't seem to get what Tac is saying here, he never said they suck, he said they're not meant for insane killstreaks like people expect them to be.

    While the law's explosions are nice, but they're more satisfying than anything else.
    The minigun's firerate is really high and you never have to reload, but it burns through ammo very fast and is best used for charging into a room and letting loose.
    The flamethrower is impractical for most situations but the constant explosions and glass nises you can hear across the map are really fun to mess around with.
    (Oddly enough, the flamethrower is one of the more realistic versions of a flamethrower I've seen in a video game, real ones can shoot fire 200+ feet, yet most games have them barely go past arm's reach.)
    While the ray-gun/demolisher is probably the best of the donor weapons right now, but if you're bad at getting headshots it's three bodyshots to kill. But it shoots lasers so it's awesome anyway.

    Infect is different, it's rules and criteria to win change gun balance drastically, you might as well count guns in infect on a category of their own.

    LAW was meant for infect. Demo was made for infect and TDM (if you know how to use it). Minigun and Flamethrowers are for fun and lols (they are also the most troll-ish guns :stuck_out_tongue:).
