    I just purchased the ray-gun expecting it to "neutralize the victim when hitting them" Turns out its nothing like what it says intact it take 3 hits on direct contact to kill the enemy which is false advertising in my opinion but thats no big deal. I think that if u hit them directly it should kill them immediately but if you hit near them it causes them to lose 3 hearts. I think that it definitely needs a buff.

    it could also use more ammo

    The point of the ray gun is to be used in infect, where the explosion will kill the infected (except the root) instantly.

    The ammo is a semi balance, even though scavenger fixes that.

    Would be nice to see that.
    In infect, it is terribly overpowered, especially combined with scavenger. However, making it closer to its Call of Duty counterpart would be a nice change, and it would make the Ray Gun a more balanced weapon.

    Ray-gun is not supposed to be used in any gamemode except Infect (like the LAW). Buffing it for these two gamemodes would only increase its OPness and complaining among other players. The limited ammo also acts as a counter to the Ray-gun so it's not so op, even though Scav kind of makes this counter useless. Personally, I would only agree with a buff if the AOE was removed.

    P.S. When you said the AOE should affect 3 hearts per shot, you are unintentionally saying that the AOE should be nerfed instead of buffed. 3 hearts per shot would take four shots to remove 10 hearts from the player total, which in theory is basically four indirect Ray-gun shots. Right now, it takes three indirect hits to kill a player in a non-infect gamemode.

    I personally disagree. Imagine a world where Ray-Gun was OP in TDM... I wouldn't want to play... I think it is 100% fine how it is...

    Add a 'No' poll... :V V:

    Well, I don't play Call Of Duty. But I don't think you can select Ray-Gun in TeamDeathMatch, Capture The Flag, etc. It's mostly used in Infect, them zombies are allergic to RayGuns I'd think.

    Raygun in CoD is only for the "Zombies" mode .-. , but we should still not ban it from those gamemodes.

    Raygun is OP if you have skill, and UP if you lack skill.

    Paging Dr. Fast, Paging Dr. Fast, we have a patient in need of immediate mental treatment, I believe he tripped and hit his head on the pay2win while walking to McBrawl.

    There's no god damn reason to buff it, it's O.P enough as it is at the moment, just because you have money, and because you can buy it, doesn't mean that you should be able to run around with Jesus in a can. No, it's getting nerfed in the update already, which is like saying it's getting nerfed sometime before 2175, but still, if it was buffed, you may as well buff isolator to have the same rate of fire as the MSR.

    I used ray in TDM ONCE recently because I forgot to switch after infect, and it still killed quickly. In fact, I almost nuked. Ray is fine in TDM because it's not meant to be used there.

    I disagree i think that if it is worth five dollars that it shouldn't be useful in just one game mode

    No... You sir (with all due respect) are an idiot.

    Everyone here is trying to help you. Can't you just sit back and read what they are trying to say.

    It is not "false advertising". It does what we said it does.

    And not only that, but why don't you try using other guns, that actually do stuff, like the l118a is a great place to start, I nuke with it on a regular basis.

    Build skill, then try to go pay2win...

    (Sorry for going ham on you)

    By high level you mean level 4?

    When you own EVERY single normal gun, then go buy donor guns...

    I bough all guns instantly when I leveled up, and somewhere around level 25 I donated for the value pack with five perks, three donor guns, Tomhawk, Grenades and Flashbangs and of course 1 month MVP. I still have no plans of getting Ray or Crossbow.

    Also about your poll, we cannot vote no ._.

    I only have scav, cbow, minifun, and a tomahawk...

    Maybe just the explosion could be removed, but make the ray beam a OSK on zombies and 2-3 hits on the root. It would have to be a direct hit to kill them. That would teach people to stop the explosion spamming. Also, maybe switch it from 3 hit kill to 2 hit kill in other gamemodes...? This could balance it a bit but keep the donator aspect. It would stop the hate, mostly. In my opinion.

    Nerfing it big time would reduce it value, since it would only be semi-useful in infect and useless in all other gamemodes. If it's nerfed too much, it will die just like the LAW and Flamethrower did...

    R.I.P. '-'
