Fix the scorcher and digger!!!!!

[Pro v]

First off let's talk about the scorcher that was a suppressing weapon now has turn into a power weapon IMO.. I can easily fight and destroy 3-4 in cqc situations. That's so dumb maybe it needed a slight buff but it's been over done!

The digger seems to be somewhatt of a useless power weapon, not completely useless , when it was first introduced it had a purpose,now you can shoot it into a group of 3 and maybe get one kill.. They made this gun useless please make it like how it was in the beta or the launch.

Edit: I'm not saying for the scorcher to be useless so please stop saying that and I'm not complaining just cuz I die from it cuz I use it too and destroy ppl all I'm sayin is tone it down make it so it's not an insteadown or kill let it have small window where u can counter it after being hit,

Also I'd like to add that we get ping indicators and matchmaking be based upon your ping to server and group ppl accordingly THANKS

The scorcher was buffed because it was SUPPOSED to be a power weapon....

Digger is useful, but I would like to see the beta version returned myself.

[Scratch1Glowie]

Scorcher is doing what it was intended to do, be a power weapon.

Digger is useless.

[BWG]

Scorcher is good right now. If you nerf it back down it's just gonna be mopped up by Retro users and Gnasher users again. Digger could use more ammo or a bigger radius I think though.

even so it's downs u as soon as it hits you, I think that's dumb you can run around like superman with that gun it needs
To toned Down so the person gettin hit has a fighting chance.. That's what gears is allegedly about.. That's why you have more health in this game than other shooters that even if your caught off guard your supposed to have a fighti g chance to run or fight

[emperor dogma]

I have a few statements.
Number 1. The Scorcher before the buff wasn't even a suppressing weapon it was intimidation that prevented people from crossing it's flam you see fire and you automatically think it will kill you in a second now it can do that.
Number 2. I agree the Digger does need some sort of buff because it could take you all of your shots to kill one person witch insane.
Number 3. I'm not attacking you but you might want to fix a typo in you post it says The digger seems to be the most useless power weapon I have see. when it should say The digger seems to be the most useless power weapon I have seen.

[FLaW ChRiS]

Digger is not useless, people stop please when you think a weapon is useless learn how to use it first. Do you see why scorcher and flame grenades are so OP now? Because noobs complain that the weapons suck when in fact you can't use it because they take skill, that's why gears 3 is boring because of how easy it is to get kills with most weapons.

[ConwayXIII]

Scorcher - No. Now it is worth picking up.

Digger - No. Maybe instead of firing it across the map and hoping that they are dumb enough to not roll out of the way, try hitting people's flanks, or catching them unawares.

I got 4 doubles with it in a match last night, it's not that difficult a weapon to get kills with.

[Richtophen]

The digger has no blast radius. I've made countless times where it explodes less than a foot away from someone, and only hurts them or it travels right past them without coming up to explode.

[BigBaller Blud]

New scorcher is a joke, I'm not going to comment, we all know it's far too strong, you can not get away from it if you are caught out of cover lol just another noob gun, put them in the sh-t box with the DB and Retro.

[Gearsoholic1259]

The digger is not really useless if you know where to put the shot. I was playing a match of CTL and the leader had 3 body guards around her, so I ran to the digger. I went back to them and was able to pick off the first 2 with my first shot and on my next, killed the last bodyguard and downed leader.

[Justifire]

You got to use the 'Digger' as a 'Flyer' !
Shoot it in the air instead of in the ground and you have much more chance to surprise someone.
I would like to see the point of view some larger when aiming the digger, now when someone is too far away you aim outside the screen and isn't very accurate, on the other hand, maybe EPIC ment it this way as it is no sniper rifle
Altough i think it's a horrible map, Escalation is perfect for some Digger-work.
2 days ago i got a quinn with 1 diggershot to the stairs

[xX DOMmented Xx]

I think the scorcher is good, like said previously, its worth picking up now. Before it was like picking up a water pistol. And I don't use the digger much, but it does seem like its pretty easy to avoid getting killed by it. I love how as soon as something steps in to counter the gnasher in cqc its so overpowered. Get over it guys, you're bound to die sometime. It's a video game. Don't start anymore threads about over powered weapons unless the first one you add if the gnasher. Deal with your death to a weapon and try coming back with your next life and counter it, instead of trying to rush a scorcher. It shoots FLAMES. So yeah it should burn you to death pretty quick.

[FelisLeo]

Just shut up and play the game: I getting REALLY sick of all these nerfs and buffs and upgrades.

[COKEGUY55]

Only problem I have with scorcher is on OVERPASS!! don't waste ur life trying to get top control if someone has scorcher in their hands. Digger is fine, u can't expect to shoot it into the ground and get easy kills, games been out for 5 months now. I'm pretty sure everyone knows how to roll

i must admit. i read your original post and thought "hey it's meant to be a power weapon"...

but then you saying about how it downs you immediately makes me realise yeah, you're right. it's way OP. i cast my mind back to the last time i encountered a bot with one and the bot did a little squirt of fire and i was down.

it was well annoying!!

[kathoga]

It is a power weapon and like the other power weapons in the game if you are caught in the open by it you are dead, more than likely. I think this is how it should be. IMO. Each to his or her own, however.

[ThorsBaldEagle]

Or, nerf everything and Buff the Gnasher.... /sarcasm.

[The Dom Knight]

Digger is like the opposite of the Boomer. Better to shoot it in as cramped an area as possible (well, not too cramped or you'll get hurt/die too). It's not too effective out in the open, but it's still good to flush out campers.

thanks for the typo... But what I'm trying to say I think it's too strong..... it needs be stronger than it was at launch but not as strong as it is now.. This game plays different than the rest, you can't go in commando style and take out teams unless the other team sucks real bad but the scorcher is a insta kill, to me it diminishes the game. When your bit with it you should be able to have a small window of opportunity to fight not just be dead

[E. Carmine]

The Scorcher is fine IMO.

The Digger needs to be buffed, it is the worst of the 4 main power weapons, easily. Give it a buff and keep it with 3 shots and nerf the Boomshot by only giving it two?

[DiviiNity]

Useless? I caught a Quad with the Digger breaking a hill in the last points of a KOTH match on Escalation, then won.

[Pixel-Demon]

New Scorcher is great imo. Finally you have to respect someone holding it, not just rush in with your shotty.

Digger is nicely balanced, but sucks compared to Boomshot and Frags. I guess it needs a bigger kill radius or something.

ok I agree the gnasher is over powered in the hands of some its like a sniper rifle, the lancer on active is crazy to but both guns you. An avoid after being hit and even oil your opponent but the scorcher hits u and ur Down instantly.. Like I keep saying I don't want it to be useless just toned down to where it's not an insta Down or kill, you need to be able to go toe to toe with a scorcher

[Pro v]

cool, but ppl I play with won't go outta there way anymore to pick it up cuz they don't feel it's as useful as b4, to easy not to get a kill, one example I rushed the digger on old town the other team ran Into the circle there and killed my teammates, I launch a digger into the group of 3 it Downed only 1, btw none of them moved and stuff like that always happening I understand some might be sponging on occasion but when it goes into a group it's completely rando on if someone will die or just get hurt

lmfao.

Digger is one of the most usefull power weapons to competitive gears of war. I love it because its a weapon you have to think with, and wont pick off easy kills for you. Coordinate with your team and tell your buddys that your gonna shoot a digger at someone camping in cover and be ready to rifle them down once they move. Just because you can't get kills with it doesnt mean its useless, the digger is an amazing weapon.

[GB Judge Fudge]

The scorcher was under powered. It wasn't useless, but if I had a choice I would pick up any other power weapon. Now it actually deserves to be called a power weapon considering the whole reason they're called power weapons is because they're more powerful than the starting weapons. The digger needs a little buff. Maybe a bigger kill radius, or explodes, and moves more quickly than it is. Other than that the only thing that NEEDS to be fixed is the Ink Grenades simply because their inconsistency is far worse than that of the gnasher. I'll hit someone directly with it hit them with the gnasher, and they'll roll away. It lands next to me I'm downed within 5-7 seconds. I mean seriously? come on now.

[Cookie Monster]

Digger is nowhere near as powerful as Boomshot, don't know why they even swap spawns.

I'm not trying to be rude but either u don't understand what I wrote or really didn't read it, they have changed it I'm pretty sure they nerfed it's damage I have the damn thing explode right against ppl and more often than not they don't die, and when shot into the middle of groups instead of getting the group it gets 1, this is the problem I noticed with ppl I play with and when I go in alone, most ppl don't rush that weapon anymore there has to be reason, I want it like the beta where u thought twice of someone having the digger, you wanted to make sure your team controlled it, now ppl are like who cares and it shows... If its going to be a POWER weapon give it POWER

the ink I agree needs to be fixed.. But u don't think it's a bit crazy that the scorcher. Can now run through a 4v1 and come out without dieting.. If I was to shoot a boom in the middle of a 4v1 in cqc I'd die along with the other. Ur the scorcher give u the insta kill and u keep going .. It needs a slight nerf not a drastic one. It enough where u can't fight 3-4 ppl at a time and always win

Going to repeat what has probably been said a lot already. The Scorcher IS a Power Weapon. It should kill like a power weapon.

[aweZm]

lol if you can't get digger kills you must be bad. That's my second largest percentage of kills among pick-up weapons behind - duh - the boomshot.

And as others have said the scorcher was a power weapon that wasn't designed properly so it was a support/piece of scenery in the map weapon that finally got some love. It still is by no means overpowered, since you can retro lancer a scorcher from just outside of range and they will have no chance. You just can't run head-on into them.

[Danny J]

I don't have a problem with the scorcher being an actual useful weapon now. But on Old Town that just makes it seem like it's clustered with power weapons. Then again most people seem to not pick it up because they're used to it being fairly useless.

It is a bit too powerful though imo. Toning it down slightly so it's still useful but doesn't down you in around half a second would be nice, but it's not that hard to back off and counter.

thank you..it's not hard to counter if your not in it's radius I agree but if you are it's impossible unless the person aim sucks.. That's all I been tryin to say all along just tone it down slightly so it's not a insta kill or down

[emperor dogma]

thanks for the typo... But what I'm trying to say I think it's too stron it needs be stronger than b4 but not as strong as it is now..

Personally I think the Scorcher is fine. You can't destroy entire teams with the scorcher it just doesn't have enough ammo to do it but you can destroy any dumb fool that comes rushing at you.
And you have another typo at the start of the quote I have above you say. thanks for the typo... But what I'm trying to say I think it's too stron it needs be stronger than b4 but not as strong as it is now.
When it should say thanks for the typo... But what I'm trying to say I think it's too strong it needs be stronger than b4 but not as strong as it is now.
You may want to proof read you posts because people will attack you for not spelling stuff correctly.

Lol thanks I know I should but I'm at work and trying to talk and work plus this phone changes words around in me all the time it's so annoying.. Honestly and I'm. It making this up I have take. Out a group of 3 and a group of 4 b4 with one clip they were. They were running together and I destroyed them All, I had a good chuckle I also seen my teammates have this done to them.. I just want a slight nerf, by all means I do not want this weapon to be useless just not a insta Down

Maybe a very slight nerf but I love this weapon and I hate to see it become useless again.
