Blademancer is Actually OP

[@heibk-2019]

Yep, it basically makes bows and crossbows oneshot at any range, which is kinda insane. Especially with the new steel bolt that is a straight upgrade from normal bolts.

[@Dew-b8b]

Steel bolts aren't slower?

also arent steel bolts not rending? so no bleed?

Timestamp is slightly off there

[@DeeezNuutZ]

The 2nd and 3rd kills clearly show how OP they are. and no im not one of those guys that calls everything OP. but this, this is something else. as he said, its basically a guaranteed kill. they dont die from the arrow? you pull. boom dead. I get it, its new, its fun. its temporarty for the event (fopefully) but man, this just shows how the devs dont even do any testing on how abd this could get on the gameplay. maybe atleast put a delay on the pull or like an animation like necro when pulling so theres time for a person to heal or cancel bleed. but obviously they wont do that since its too much work for them

[@fablesfromamayfly]

Yeah, or limit the range from 100 meters (!!!) to like 25. This would still help confirm this low distance kills if shot in arm/leg. Still strong, but not like this.

[@hornetlul]

@@DeeezNuutZ keep in mind i had beserker and its basically 2x pullout damage aswell

[@1_f1N_1]

On paper yes, in practice not really. Good luck hitting your shots

@@hornetlul oh that changes alot thanks for clearing

[@bozak5130]

I’ve been hoping for a blade seer buff for a long time, letting you retrieve em with dark sight, and here it is. I’m hoping it sticks around and gets integrated with a tenth of the range because it’s really nice but having it basically guarantee kills so far out is a bit ridiculous. Within ten meters it’s basically just be a slightly slower way of killing someone if you miss a one shot which’d be okay methinks

[@modernwarhero8447]

The perk should retrieve arrows etc and do no dmg. That way its still fun, but actually balanced

[@tanairium654]

i think it should just take time like any darksight interaction perks

[@modernwarhero8447]

@ less fun at that point retrieving arrows immediately and effortlessly is fun

[@rabadooda]

I think it should use up 1 second of dark sight or else it does not damage. That way you at least have to make compromises to use it

[@bikeyogi16]

Bro this is basically walls no way you should be able to see the arrow in darksight while attached to a player

[@alexanderj8297]

No damage would be lame, keep damage on PVE and remove damage on players.

[@th3ratgirl]

i don't think this would be so egregious if it just required line of sight . the fact that they can't even hide from it i think makes this x10 worse

[@alexanderj8297]

this is a good point

[@SquishyBauBau]

Ah. So THATS what I died to yesterday.

[@dirothlc]

In my opinion, this is very funny. Reminds me of the times when nitro express killed in 99% of cases. The game has a rather crooked damage registration system and sometimes a bow from 5 meters to the chest did 124 damage. This perk allows you to see how these weapons should work without random damage numbers (excluding hits to the limbs). Thanks for the video

[@Terwilligrrr]

That last kill shows how stupid lightfoot is for solos right now. I would have been frustrated to die because someone can silently rotate me. Good gameplay overall though!

[@kali5413]

when you are playing with teams why do you not run choke bombs? just curious

[@anamazingkobold1564]

Yeah blademancy is op. I got shot with a bow and ran into cover to stop bleeding, died out of nowhere due to the long range pull damage.

[@philippstotzel2008]

Oh the first 3 Kills were so Juicy ! Please keep the amazing content ! Much love from Germany!

[@Mrxlongshot]

this update just shows you cant just throw in whatever seems cool on a game with an already on the edge of having its balance broken

[@jory_the_kid]

Second team from first clip is greeting you. I must say, it was disaster. You played so well and hit everything, GG

[@tomsmith7265]

It's been great fun, but I agree it's overpowered. If they (hopefully) make it a permanent trait, they should add a mechanic in the game where if you get hit with a bolt or arrow if you start stopping the bleed, the arrow cannot be pulled out. Like the shot hunter is holding the arrow whilst dressing the wound and you can't pull it back until they let go or it drops to the floor. It could potentially be separate from stopping bleed, meaning you can 'pull' the arrow out before it can be called back if you're fast enough and then focus on the bleed.

[@swaggy_p5331]

They should make it to where if there isn’t a clear sight for the the arrow/bolt etc. then it shouldn’t come back. Just to balance it a bit while still being pretty powerful

[@rabadooda]

That would be interesting. You'd have to take a risk to expose yourself from cover in order to pull off the retrieval. I still think it would be too overpowered

[@swaggy_p5331]

Been using the new steel bolt, and for some reason I swear it changes how you're supposed to aim, like the bolt pops out above it normally would

[@realpatty]

It should require direct line of sight

[@stJules]

Impressive video as always Hornet! While I love this trait for throwing knives, axes and spear it makes bow and crossbow absolutely filthy with little or no counterplay. Bow with berserk is enough to get an arm shot at mid range. All you can do once tagged is maybe jump into cover and hope that you can get revived. If this trait was to be added permanently, it should come with reduced range and pullout damage.

[@Deusvult11]

Dude, God forbid you combine this with Berserker. Retrieving the arrows out of bodies counts as melee, so berserker DOUBLES the pull-out damage, which GUARANTEES a kill no matter where you initially tagged them

Now we just sit in the first location and wait for someone to banish the boss and there was one game where it took 30 minutes, there were almost no gunfire no explosions for almost half an hour and when we finnaly got to the boss lair one of us got fucking sniped from who the fuck knows who somewhere behind us.

Impressive pull-out game

[@Natalie-sr8hm]

“They don’t do any testing” is a weird comment because it seems obvious to me that event perks are a form of testing, just democratized to player feedback and preferences over time to see what works for the player base and what doesn’t. Like obviously they tested this beforehand, knew it was very strong, and wanted the players to try it before they changed it or implemented it in this state. Lots of event perks have been pretty much intentionally overturned and I would treat as experimental features. I think it kinda sucks that you are forced to play with them but it also makes for a good change of pace.

[@sprocket8934]

True, and COD Warzone taught me how much of this is OP newness is intentional to get people to buy the battle pass. In this case, the new multi-crossbow is a ways in there. Buying that more expensive battlepass would logically give a temp advantage. I'm sure that's another part of it.
