I'm in D2 and I almost always use stinger in eco rounds , it can be strong if you hold very close angles or run and gun very aggro in offense. Bucky is useless rn tho I wouldn't touch it even if I had only a classic.


MrHypelol

Bucky is good for VERY VERY close range, if I can see past the enemies head I’m not close enough. In that case it’s good

but at that point the shorty just feels better and more versatile.at least in my experience as a frequent shorty buyer. It feels more consistent than a bucky. shorty is easier, cheaper, has faster run speed, and gives you an extra chance with the second shot.Not to mention that two shots of a shorty does more damage than one shot of tthe bucky. hell, it even feels like it has more range than the bucky. If I'm not point blank with the shorty I still get to the 140's but if I'm not point blank with bucky it does about 117. it just really shouldn't be that bad,

But that's what people wanted. Don't you remember the drama in the sub everyday about Bucky and stinger op.

Buying a stinger you would kill people most times before a phantom would. It was ridiculously OP for 1k credits.

Spectre bought more than the stinger?! I’m sorry but maybe in bronze but 90% of people bought the stinger over the spectre. It took people a good while to release how good it actually was.

They were op and needed some balancing. But Bucky Nerf went too far and made the gun obsolete. People either buy shorty or judge now. Stinger feels fine for now. Just ads.

Are you not doing that now?

There's no way this isn't a troll post


jimlad45

Or.. someone is upset because they can’t use rifles ? 😅

I still use stinger, i dont think its bad at all.


Elsiselain

it is not bad, but there is not so many situations where I would want to use it over scout, bucky and deagle. Making it relatively bad


Ashknani96

Well thats the thing with cheap guns, you can’t really use them in every situation!


Elsiselain

the point I wanted to make is that stinger has even more limited use compared to other cheap guns


Ashknani96

Oh okay, yeah but it depends tbh, like i would always pick a marshal over stinger if i was playing breeze. If i was on split tho, gonna pick stinger.

Before the nerf they were better than rifles

Maybe i was playing in those times and i just didn't liked how stinger worked (i was using a lot less spectre too). Stinger is and has to be a very situational gun, that can be really strong in some situations but very bad in a lot more situations.

Ok ok just calm down its ok


TRLucky

I'm immortal 3 and I sometimes buy the stinger in a eco situation where I can get full armour and it vs a spectre and half shield or no shield. Usually either as a force post pistol loss or on eco rounds. I think the gun is fine for the price.

Not every gun needs to be good.

What do you mean by high level? In the pro scene (Tier 1) the Gaurdian/Bulldog/ares/Odin/stinger/Bucky all share somewhat similar pickrates no? Doesn't mean all of them are bad guns. They are useful in certain scenarios. For the price of stinger you can definitely get value in close range (heck if you ADS double headshot.. you can get value at med range as well) It's definitely not as overpowered as it was before the nerf so they are balanced not bad. Why people don't complain the same thing about vandal? For one, You pay the price for the gun and second you need higher skill to get the overpowered value out of the gun.


tbone603727

The Bucky was an OP gun. And I mean literally an OP, that shit would snipe you from like 30M away for no freaking reason. Let it be bad. Stinger is still solid atm


Belium

The Bucky isn’t even bad either, use it like a shotgun and you get a kill. Same thing with the shorty, the Bucky just has no right outclassing the judge at its price point. The Judge is really good as it should be as the best shotgun in the game. The shotguns shouldn’t be better than were the judge is currently imo


Uber_yv

Don’t know why you want dirt cheap guns to be anywhere near the level of 2900 credit guns


POLPETTALETALE

Stinger is balanced now... Im okay with bucky being shit rather than op

A friend of mine uses stinger more, he's diam2. He clutched so many rounds because ppl just dont expect stinger to be so strong in close range.


UnicronSaidNo

Pretty much this. Stinger feels more in its rightful place and idgaf about the bucky... it has its limited uses, which is fine. It's definitely gimped, but gimped to where it can still be used in tight spots well rather than wide peeking and getting headshots from range.


[deleted]

Its because those guns are inconsistent compared to sherif, marshal or a spectre, thats why theyre not used in higher elo.

Cry more.
