Should Deathslinger get his quickscope back?

partially.

maybe not in full, but it was maybe nerfed too hard.

If it's not quickscope then Deathslinger needs something else because he feels terrible to play

Absolutely!

i would like a mid way, instant spear gun often felt unfair.

Of course. It was that made Deathslinger Deathslinger.

What needed to be done is removing the fact that walking backwards basically removes all control survivors have when chained. There's no reason for intended counterplay to being speared to have a situation to remove said counterplay.

My biggest issue with deathslinger (gunguy) is that his terror radius is very small and he is a ranged killer. I know that his harpoon does not insta down though he does have an add-on to expose a survivor. Now my main reason for saying no is that this is not a shooter game. Huntress and Trickster both annoy the heck out of survivors because they are able to hit from so far away (once you know the counters they are annoying not hard) and often when you see ranged killer people D/C or just give up. Both of them have a load time that means they can not just start range attack right away so why would gunguy be given this? If you want to play a killer with a range power then take the slower movement and load time because that gives a little balance.

Oh I forgot the Artist... Never see her so I forgot she does a shot. I don't know anything about her really she just fell into useless cannon I guess.

Improvements - yeah, sure. But really, not the Quickscope.

This is both a yes and no. He shouldn't be completely reverted back as he was an issue before.

Previously he could shoot and hit you before you ever heard his terror radius, problem.

If he was in a chase, he could raise his weapon and lower it very quickly. Meaning it created this situation where survivors were forced into a lose/lose scenario. Either take the shot and get reeled in, or just taking the m1. A good slinger could make his 1v1s impossible for survivors. Problem.

However, they did Nerf him too much and kinda ruined his identity. The whole idea behind him and what made him a unique ranged killer was his built in reload and quick shots. You didn't have to reload at lockers, but instead after every shot with the reload animation being a large slowdown. His quick scoping was his kind of high risk/high reward ability that kept him on par with other ranged killers. Now there's no real reason to use him over other ranged killers.

I'd simply revert just the aiming speed animation. Keep the terror radius and the lowering speed Nerf though. This means he can still pull off rewarding quick shots, but can't just lower his gun instantly to m1, which would fix the bad 1v1 he had before.

I’d say no mostly because it gave him free zoning just by existing.

Thing is though devs really needed to give him a lot more to compensate than move faster while ADS. Something like one of the reload add ons base kit or giving him stealth would’ve gone a long way to make him somewhat good.

please don't, Deathslinger players are terrifying ;-;
