Denied APF Minigun fix

[Devistral]

At the moment the minigun the APF uses fires way too quickly and this causes the sound barrier to break each time it’s shot.

I propose to make it fire as fast as the apf in alyx and if that still doesn’t work then nerf the firing speed but buff the damage; to the speed of TF2 heavy’s minigun tomislav.





It’s gonna require back and forth testing for balancing but it’ll at least make APF enjoyable to play. Please also consider that there’s no rev-time for willards APF.

It's fun to play as APF. Not so much fun to play against or alongside though with the sound bug xD

Also, didnt astro or hiros have a fix sent to devs already for this??

Unpopular Opinion:
I think it'd be better if it had the fire rate of the APF Minigun from Half-Life: Inhuman

(0:42 seconds)

Not a minigun, but rather semi-auto, powerful bursts.
Of course, this would basically require a whole new gun, since that basically changes everything about it, but still.

Found another video:

love it! that would make APF even more scarier, but perhaps increase the fire rate a little more than is shown in the vid?

As OTA co-lead I would like to see this denied. The terrible audio for the APF gun is actually intended, it's supposed to inflict a psychological response to rebels, causing them to become more distressed and drop to their knees in defeat.

If this is still an issue for the future, I am sure the OWF leads can make another suggestion.

Denied.
