    What's the logic behind a boosted gatling gun event when basically no one has a leveled up, high tier weapon that is actually usable? (Other than the T4E gatling guns that were given out to select individual for free in exchange for "promotion". Nothing against those players individually.)

    Man, this is only for fun... You dont have a usable GG? Don’t worry, use another gun.

    Last week in fire event, I win 900 coins but without fire weapon. Just enjoy!

    The Devs make this game into a joke. The is no logical explanation for this event. Heck, there was not much logical explanations for the last update. Why introduce a weapon that's worse than standard mortar?

    I guess the August mandatory vacations were the results of this update. I already cancelled my VIP so by the 18th of this month, I am likely not going to play very much afterward. I only have 3 captains to finish and it's only 2 months away but I can't even muster much desire to finish them.

    You get basically 2.5 epic items from a container between the guaranteed item, chance to get a lucky epic item, and all the pieces. If you assume 75% red category that's 1.875 epic red items per container. At a 5% rate to get gating gun (1 out of 20 items) that's 0.09375 gatling guns per container. In order to get 4 gatling guns (4TE) you'd have to open on average 42.66 containers. So the free hand out was only worth $4,266 in terms of purely acquiring the gatling gun ;)

    Seriously though, t5 epic gatling gun with crew training and epic dmg perks will resonate to little under 2200 dmg and 7 second cooldown. But only and ONLY at that level it will be close to the use of fully pimped epic caronade for example.

    Did you account for all the parts and sugar it costs to get from level 1 to level 40?

    Well, the recent adjustment to it makes it a defender killer. I thought it was made for defenders, not against defenders. 30% increase was called for but not defense penetrating.

    Personally I still think it’s one of the weaker weapons. I think it’ll require further buffing before it becomes part of the meta.
    I think the change makes it much more effective against defenders than say speeders but I think you’ll find it’s not strong enough yet.
    Anyway, I’ll leave you to make your own mind up.

    I think it will be a very strong weapon for yellow boats. It can do 2200 hp in 7 seconds. Imagine an enforcer in a shield shredding the defender. It's much stronger than any cannon now.

    Does it really matter?
    that won't be usuall situation (at least not in next next few weeks)
    you need:
    • high level gatling-only few of them now (and that won't probably change any any time soon)
    • it's hard to land all shots when you have 130° turret agility, any move of finger on fire joystick means significant turret rotation

    The item is still very underwhelming. Defense penetration is the only thing that could have gave any amount of hope to the gat gun. Very much called for and finally SOMETHING logical coming from the devs

    I'll tell you what, if you get a T5 Epic Gatling gun, i'll jump in my Defender and you can try to shred me. I'll just stick on carronades to make it fair. smfh

    OP:

    Yeah I don't know why they would fashion an event around a weapon most people don't have. They should loan out Gatlings to all players during the event so they could try it out. Just take them back at the end. This way everyone has one, they can see if they like them and earn coins. That's what my suggestion would have been if asked.

    With the new buff, and now fire perks, this gun will destroy

    It is way too early to run an event for a weapon that literally dropped days ago. 6-8 weeks later would have been a better time frame.

    I am going to reiterate what I said in the update thread. For a new weapon need to give us a temporary gattling gun that is leveled up to use. As a special event giving everyone a leveled up wepon would allow us to play test it for the devs and give feedback. It would allow players to see what it could do and if they want to level it. Also since it is a special event it won’t effect infamy. Just buffing the gun for the event does nothing since there will be very few people with a gattling gun leveled to actually make it useful.

    imagine that defender on fire and all bullet from gatling got boosted from fire effect ( which up to 20% with perk and crew training)
