Yeah, one Sable and one Tempest were both auctioned only a short time ago, I can without a doubt say that they're not worth the full 1.2mil in shop. (Which is actually a good thing for Ishmael, hes balanced them enough to be tier 3 weapons, just not amazingly balanced weapons of a new tier like he intended) Tempest; It could be good in the right hands but it will never be able to compete against multiple players. I've also gotten to try the Sable off of the fellow who bought it, seems fairly balanced but I wouldn't pay the full shop price on it either.
I feel like the Sable is just competing against the top tier 3 weapons and that would only be because of the damage, rushing with that thing could land you a few kills against the top players but they would soon be-able to play against it. I feel like with higher freeze weapons we need a bit of spread, it helps the gun spar for you to compensate for your lack of equal movement speed against someone using a tier 3 weapon. I would give it a bit of spread and add a few extra bullets to the clip, although the 27 damage is quite good, the 2 extra over a BAR (almost a million dollar difference) isn't the ideal option for me.
The Tempest feels like one of the lower tier 3 weapons (Kinda reminds me of the Ove Glove, although the Ove Glove is in my opinion one of the best guns, it just doesn't get the recognition and if we plan to add more guns of this tier I can quickly see the Tempest falling into the same position). It's fire-rate is the only thing going for it. I feel like its missing something, It's essentially a 20 damage MP5SD that shoots 13 bullets rapidly then takes 6 seconds to reload whilst running around. I don't doubt given to the hands of the right person the Tempest could be amazing, shooting at the right time to essentially never need to stop shooting but it's just not for me, being one of the top tier players I consistently get rushed by multiple players during PK and I just couldn't compete against it with this weapon in the BH PK that was hosted not long ago.
They're both definitely nice guns but far from a whole new tier like claimed to be. I could see some changes being done to further push them to being better but I would hate to see them get so good that everyone sells their weapons and just buys these out of the store. Although that may be what we need, I mean; with 1 of each circling around we need them to be quite over powered to push players to buy them out of the store, we can always think about fixing them up to be more balanced once it becomes an actual issue. |
