When the Cookout is compared to the Incendiary Breaker it's balanced to it, and the IB is too good too. Which one you pick is personal preference. Cookout has slower fire rate, rounds reload, less shots, but more damage and stagger than the IB. IB has faster fire rate, faster reload, more shots, but less damage and less to no stagger, but if you're good with movement you don't really need the stagger eventhough it is nice to have. Honestly, I don't know how they should balance these two vs the rest of the gun pool.
@@rnfmello8207 BI got a huge ammo nerf so you have to be careful about how much you shoot now. It is probably ok now, similar to the Knight in that regard. Cookout staggers and has a large ammo pool, as you said making it outperform everything else in ease of use and damage. Think an ammo reduction and stagger removal would go a long way in bringing it in line. That, or stagger removal and cut down initial damage a lot.
@@T4nkcommander 60 shots in reserve isn't a lot to be honest and you do run them dry very quickly on level 10s, the punishers being able to stagger is their signature ability i'd say and since they shoot slowly it feels required to have and shotguns should be treated as more as personal defense weapons too, i can only agree is a damage nerf in some form.
@@rnfmello8207 sure but dragons breath has no weight to it, your basically just throwing sparks on enemies. Hence no stagger. If enemies could keep rushing while burning that would change things significantly
@@T4nkcommander removing stagger on the cookout would give me no reason to run it, i'd just go for the incendiary breaker instead on second thought, i think cookout is balanced lol, because it struggles on the bot front, i'd go with the regular punisher because it has more direct damage and stagger would help
Yeah it's busted haha. Just had to get enough playtime on it.
Think if they take away stagger and reduce ammo a bit it'll be fine, maybe?
