I'll play devils advocate in trying to figure out GatlingGun HotFix

    Everyone agreed that the new Gatling Gun was useless.

    So with the new hot fix, the gatling gun had it's damage increase by 30% and the unfriend Defense Points no longer apply to it. So it will register full damage.
    (Nerf to Defender and Shooter)

    This will likely make the weapon very good, once RNG allows you to collect some dupes over the next 6 months so you can actually play it.

    Can anyone explain the logic behind Defense Points no longer applying to a projectile-based weapon? Are the projectiles made with depleted uranium?
    I like a good story, and right now the story doesn't make sense, because every projectile weapon in the game is subject to an unfriend's Defense Points.

    It is possible that since the GG belongs to the Burnice training tree, and the only other weapon there has the same attribute(ignoring defense)
    Also, in a cinematic perspective, the GG may be capable of "shredding" armor, kinda like what would happen if you hit heavy armor with constant heavy gunfire

    Honestly, ignoring defense doesn't change much IMO. This weapon will still only be used by Shooters, Defenders, and the occasional Fixer.

    The big issue with the gun is that it did no damage against a 100-defense Defender. So yellow boats wouldn't equip it to fight a Defender. However, this gun is not meant for yellow ships as yellow ships thrive using burst damage weapons like Grenade, EC, and BC.... so any weapon like the Gatling that puts you in harms way for an extended period of time is an automatic non-yellow weapon.. Just my 2 pesos.

    I'm actually thinking, with the agility buffs, it is possible to empty a clip while circling a target, while looking like a badass(which is like THE MOST IMPORTANT THING)

    Interesting thought, I like it. In the "Movie" version of the gun, perhaps Defense points should apply to the FIRST projectile fired, then each one after that registers full damage.
