“[The Classic pistol will] be more inaccurate in mid-air at a base line and the faster that you shoot the right click, the more and more wild it’ll get,” senior game designer Sal Garozzo said. “So you’ll have to temper your shots and pace them a little bit.”<\/p>
Garozzo said the devs want the gun to have “its viable place” and are cautiously nerfing the weapon.<\/p>
Since the Classic is a free weapon given to all players at the start of the round, it was performing a bit too consistently. This was especially problematic when right clicking mid-air since it maintained its accuracy to deliver lethal headshot damage. Players will now have to take some time in between right clicks, as well as keep their agent on the ground, to be most efficient with the handgun.<\/p>
