It is slower and does amazing 70 more damage. Give it more damage, I want to oneshot INFs at least. Automatic Shotgun: PTH and TCN's shotgun can 2 shot lights (at point blank) and after one shot leaves them with a quarter of live. The autoshotty needs 3 shots. Give it the damage to just two shot lights at point blank. (up damage from 50 to 65/70) Nova Colt: Hard to use and small clip. I rly like it and think its fine, I leave complaints to the crowd Energy Pack: Its fine, gives the BRT a good mobility for a heavy. Shield Pack: If you could combine both packs you might have enough energy to use it properly, works in combination with pot.energy. Has to be more efficient. Fractals: Disco balls are nice but not that powerfull since they are easy to avoid. Fine with me. Stickies: The one and only worst weapon you can buy in this entire game. Even the TCNs sawed off shotgun is of double the use. Lets make the math; an INF (light class) can carry 4 heavy stickies and the BRT (heavy class) can carry 2 light stickies. WHAT ? Its nice that you buffed them but that makes them not better. I understand why the demoman, oh sry the INF, gets the heavy ones but give us at least the same amount since we can't sneak up somebody to place them. _________________ Remove hitscan from pistols and shotguns

I would go for 1180 damage, just below one-shoting mediums but killing every light on one shot (INFs), no higher splash because he is no jugger. If its to OP than make it reload even slower. It should feel like a cannon. _________________ Remove hitscan from pistols and shotguns

They used to have one more, and then HiRez "fixed" that, even though there was absolutely nothing wrong with it. The light stickies just need to be cut from the game entirely and replaced by the same stickies infiltrators get. There, problem solved.

PETITION: BRT Buffs

The BRT needs love ! and the new update give us (nearly) nothing

Heavy Spinfuser (HSF):
The DPS is too small, its the second worst spinfuser after the stealth spinfuser (and the SSF is low damage because its a stealth weapon). It is slower and does amazing 70 more damage.
Give it more damage, I want to oneshot INFs at least.

Automatic Shotgun:
PTH and TCN's shotgun can 2 shot lights (at point blank) and after one shot leaves them with a quarter of live. The autoshotty needs 3 shots.
Give it the damage to just two shot lights at point blank. (up damage from 50 to 65/70)

Nova Colt:
Hard to use and small clip. I rly like it and think its fine, I leave complaints to the crowd

Energy Pack:
Its fine, gives the BRT a good mobility for a heavy.

Shield Pack:
If you could combine both packs you might have enough energy to use it properly, works in combination with pot.energy.
Has to be more efficient.

Fractals:
Disco balls are nice but not that powerfull since they are easy to avoid. Fine with me.

Stickies:
The one and only worst weapon you can buy in this entire game. Even the TCNs sawed off shotgun is of double the use. Lets make the math; an INF (light class) can carry 4 heavy stickies and the BRT (heavy class) can carry 2 light stickies. WHAT :shock:

? Its nice that you buffed them but that makes them not better. I understand why the demoman, oh sry the INF, gets the heavy ones but give us at least the same amount since we can't sneak up somebody to place them.

+1.

To be fair, I didn't even read the OP, but any buffs are better then where the brute currently is.

It seems that brute is the class hated the most by hi-rez. It had been well over 3 months and they are still piddling around the issue.

Re: PETITION: BRT Buffs

HSF needs the new 7% HBL buff (DUH).

All heavies need more energy regen.

Brutes need to carry an additional fractal grenade.

ALL DONE, NEXT.

Re: PETITION: BRT Buffs

I unlocked the complete Brute yesterday to see what's possible in case of Flagchasing/Potential Energy/Ultra Capacitor with him. Played only 2 maps and had to come to the conclusion that the Brute lacks a 'reach' weapon.

The Jugg has one - the Mortar. Or even the -imo- blasphemic X1 LMG.

The Brute has none, except the Nova Colt maybe but please... a colt. The Brute needs something nasty. Something Bone shattering, something that shoots FAST but no automatic please.

1 more Fractal? Oh god no.... that only exacerbates the current problem of Brute Fractal-reliance.

Give us 1 more Light Sticky - the INF gets 4 high-power Stickies, BRTs currently get 2 low-power Stickies. It's silly.

Less damage than the demoman; ok fine to me. But let us hold 4 or even more. BRT do not have the ability to sneak in position to place them.
