discussed why this change happened<\/a> to the Railgun. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\u201cIt was vastly over-performing in how safe it was to use and how convenient it was, not requiring a backpack or assistance to be effective, and not requiring risk to take out even larger armored targets,\u201d says Lasota. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Yeah, it\u2019s hard to argue with that point. Being able to go Railgun and a Sheild Backpack was way too strong to ignore on higher difficulties. That\u2019s why it became the \u2018meta.\u2019<\/p>\n\n\n\n
You\u2019ll also need to pick your shots more carefully with the Railgun, aiming at the head or other weak points. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Lasota wrapped up his thoughts on the Railgun by saying:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWe are aware it rose to prominence as part of other anti-tank weapons not being as convenient or efficient in comparison. We are monitoring the situation closely and will adjust more based on how this change plays out.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The change is a solid one. The overcharge mechanic adds extra risk while keeping its power against the game\u2019s toughest enemies. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
It\u2019s refreshing to get a more in-depth look at the reasons for a weapon\u2019s changes. While the Railgun nerf might seem steep at first glance, it\u2019s really not too bad\u2014and it\u2019s hard to argue with the developer\u2019s reasons for the change. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

What Arrowhead describes as a \u201cminor patch\u201d included some big changes and fixes. Planetary hazards are now active, armor rating values work as intended, and there are several changes to weapons. One of them focuses on the Railgun. Here\u2019s the change straight from the developer: Railgun – Decreased armor penetration in Safe Mode, decreased damage against durable enemy parts. I fired up a quick game to see what the change looks like.
