I decided to play with this silly old thing recently and was reminded swiftly of the awful reason why I put it away in the first place.
I don't recall what its old backpack capacity used to be, but it took a hit with the Great Secondary Ammo Nerf alongside every other Sniper and Shotgun class weapon. Which would be fine normally except that it's a Primary and as it stands it can't be fully reloaded once from reserves. At maximum capacity, it carries eleven rounds. Its clip holds six. You get one and 5/6 of a clip best before you're entirely depleted.
Universal Remote wasn't punished like this, so how in the name of sanity is this acceptable? Sure, I could see it in PvP as you can pick up Primary off of people you kill with it and respawn with refilled munitions. However in PvE, especially should Juggler be active, the weapon is out of ammo before you even start.
Just a brief gripe about what could otherwise be an amazingly fun gun across every playspace. Wanted to see if anyone had thoughts on it.

11 shots is plenty. Plus primary ammo drops in pvp

Edited by Swiftlock: 1/30/2017 12:59:13 AMI don't understand what the actual problem is. NLB a very dangerous PvP weapon in the right hands. Giving it more backpack ammo would start to cause problems. It sounds like your real issue is that PvP adjustments have negative effects on PvE, which is a fair complaint, but it's an issue that extends way past just NLB.

Pop goes the weasel.

Got hate mail from a clever dragon user, was mad that I was shooting through his high cal. I just said, I'm sorry that your crutch wasn't as effective as it should be. He said nothing

-
No land beyond is actually op I use it
-
Its sad since i like playing with it in patrols, but its not even usuable there really because you run out of ammo constantly
-
At one point, I believe it could have 18 in reserve. Why Universal Remote is allowed to have that much in reserve while NLB can only have half of that, I will never understand.
-
They should remove the zoom completely.

It's an awful weapon, yet I've seen some players do well with it. There was a player last night that racked up 10 kills with it in a match I was in. Usually, I only see players get a handful of kills (3 or 4).
-
so 11 shots is a lot for 1 life and two things will happen in that 1 life before you spawn and get your 11 shots back. You will either shoot all eleven shots and miss (put the nlb away) or you will kill someone with it. This is when you run over there body to pick up more primary ammo
-
Ammo capacity was reduced by one. It used to be six in the clip and six in reserve.
-
No land was not effected by the nerf on ammo.

Edited by Porcratus: 1/25/2017 8:29:07 AMYou need to seek out ammo slot with NLB Sealed Ahmakara Guantlets makes it slot better.
-
It used to hold 18 rounds total with the appropriate perks
-
It's always been the same.
