Slingshot gotta get nerfed next update

5/25 Edited to

... Read moreJust got out of the most frustrating Roblox Rivals match ever. My teammate left early, leaving me in a brutal '1v2 situation'. I was constantly trying to 'Switch Weapons' to adapt, even pulled out the 'RPG' a few times for some 'Eliminations', but it felt like I was fighting an uphill battle against just one thing: the slingshot. Seriously, that slingshot is out of control. It feels like it has the damage output of an 'RPG' but with rapid fire and pinpoint accuracy. The projectile speed is insane, making it almost impossible to dodge. I swear, everyone is just spamming it, and it makes every round feel like a 'slingshot challenge' rather than a fair fight. This weapon completely unbalances the game. What's the point of mastering other weapons or developing strategic plays when one item dominates everything? I've seen entire 'CH POINT' objectives lost because one player with a slingshot can just hold it down effortlessly. It's not about skill anymore; it's about who gets the slingshot first. It’s making the 'Playtime' for many players shorter and less enjoyable, especially for those who encounter it often. So, what kind of 'nerf' does it need? I've been thinking a lot about this during my 'Playtime' (which was only '4m' in that last match because I got wiped so quickly). Maybe reduce its damage significantly? Or perhaps increase the charge time between shots? The current state makes it too easy to secure quick 'Eliminations' without much effort. Even a slight decrease in projectile speed or an increase in falloff damage at range would make a huge difference. A cooldown after two or three shots could also prevent the endless spamming we see. A proper nerf would bring back much-needed strategy and variety to Roblox Rivals. It would encourage players to 'Switch Weapons' more often and use their entire arsenal, including the 'RPG', for different situations. It would make the game fairer, more fun, and genuinely challenging again, rather than just an endless 'slingshot challenge' against an overpowered item. I really hope the devs consider this for the next update. What do you guys think? Have you faced similar frustrations with the slingshot in your matches? Let’s brainstorm some balanced solutions together!
