Bots with Lightning Gun

Post by abdulmuhsee »

While playing against a bot on a high setting that is weilding the lightning gun, particularly in a duel, it seems that their aim is completely flawless. I could have full health and armor and be nailing him, yet as soon as he gets in my face with the lightning gun, I go from 100+ health and armor to dead, even if I'm also hitting him with it the entire time. I don't have as much of a problem if he uses any other weapon, and it's frustrating to be dead before I can even get a second shot off. Is this normal for the lightning gun to kill you within 2 seconds from full+ health and armor?

Bots are nothing - try playing against experienced human players and they'll do the same with a machinegun.

yea, q3dm17 gets very not fun at some point... usually the point where your opponent has 30ms ping and shoots over 40% with the mg.

Try not to play with bots that have a level higher than 'hurt me plenty' it will be good for your health

Swear at bots with your rudest curse words. They don't like that.

Notice, please, the title of the thread includes the words "Custom" and "Icon", as well as the recent date of it's inception. Confused me at first too. :clownboat:
