this sidearm is unique amongst it's peers in that not only does it only have a single shot in the chamber before reloading, but it also costs 300LP, more than a primary weapon often costs. it's also unique in that if you miss you don't get another shot, except for the pokkit rokkit. it also costs double what the pokkit rokkit costs, which is where my point lies. people might not like or have worked out a good way to use pokkit rokkit, but let me tell you, it's a lot better than it's more expensive counterart. why? because it stuns, does more damage, has more ammunition and has AOE. so what's the reason to buff it? why give it 340 damage? 340 damage is the amount of damage a full pistol magazine does, and is also more than the pokkit rokkit, which has the above advantages. right now the one shot slugga basically does the same role as pokkit rokkit worse, and only does the equivalent of 2x slab slugga shots. also ironbane should be buffed to do powerfist strong attack damage so it can actually fulfull it's AV role.
It does 320 if you shoot them in the head already. Also it does more damage than an Eldar has HP baseline and if they aren't wearing any HP gear or Toughness gear will literally one shot them if they have 0 armor, regardless of head or not.
Eldar? The OS Slugga is certainly out of date. Even when using a Slugga or Painboy, I never use it. With Server Latency, or just plain bad aiming mechanics of the game, it's safer to pick even basic pistols over this unique. I just feel that a DMG buff may attract some people to use it, but no one would really want to depend on it.
Its a for fun unique that fits a playstyle. It is meant to combo with a single melee or soften a target prior to hitting with melee. It shouldn't do enough damage to be a mainline gun that replaces shootas. Edit it is also meant to be a stormboy gun (just kinda how it works out by design) but due to the price hike on stormboy gear they can't really afford it. I say just lower the price to 200-250 and see where it goes from there.
I have used this gun on my painboy loadout for quite some time, and I've only recently changed it to something else. It is great for 1v1. Even if you don't shoot them in the head, people don't expect to lose that much health/armor at one time. I decided I like other options better, but I think the one shot is "more fun." I don't know or care if the loadout cost changes.
It does not need a damage buff. As it is, it's a worthwhile addition in terms of stats, the only real problem is its enormous 300 lp pricetag. My dream would be to have that pricetag decreased to (after reduction) 50 lp, though 150 is probably more fitting. I might seriousely use it on the Painboy in that case, instead of just for joke's sake as I do now.
Basically this. I used it a few times. It's cool to ambush people with melee and when they on lt have a few hp oneshot them. But it's not worth the lp cost.
I honestly think instead of buffing the damage the reload needs to be lowered by a second it's currently 3 seconds lowering it to 1.5-2 seconds I think would be more than enough of a buff... And lowering the LP cost by 150.. As it stands it's outclassed by the other pistols due to costing 6x more than a slab slugga while only hitting for 90 more damage and 10 more pen while only having 1 shot... Just having 1.5 sec reload and a cost of around 150-200 I think would really make it a okay thing to do... As it stands though the slab just out classes it due to doing the same damage in 3 shots while having 7 in the clip and a 2 second reload.
Nah because then its dps would be too high. It would be able to out shot almost anything if you surprise them and it would be on par as just a gun in a straight up fight. Again it isn't meant to be a main weapon its a sidearm to be used in combonation with stuff not as a standalone gun.
