Swarm got nerfed?

did they nerf the range on swarm? i remember this could hit someone from across the map, now it seems to only work at medium range. if so when did they do this?

Swarm is OP, mainly in invasions but in regular pvp too… Swarms go through barrier shields like butter. Really my only issue, i can even drop 2 shields and the swarm goes through both…
And in invasions you barely even have to play and easily get top score and of course damage. Maybe even more copper too but idk.

As for any Swarm Nerf, i’m unaware, but i’d be happy if true.

Tho if i tried them i’d hate the aiming. All artillary aiming is rough for me.
( On console. Thumb aiming vs whole hand)

you used to be able to aim pretty much across the entire map with them. very long distances. but now the area of fire has been cut drastically. experimenting with them their max distance is about 145m just shy of 150. thats pretty close ngl… i think i know why they did this though, helis. swarms on helis were absolutely broken, having the ability to hit someone from across the entire map while in the air was really overpowered so i think thats why they got that distance nerf.

Are you using radar?? The radars used to buff the range a LOT.

uhhhh i just tried that just now and i got 2 questions.

1: WHAT?!
2: THE $%#*!?

i got one more question
how does a radar boost the range of this thing? it makes no sense!
i never knew that radars boosted the range of swarms. i always thought swarms could hit that far away normally… its why i thought they got nerfed when my range was cut. go figure…

not 100% shure, but me thinks it treats swarm the same way as homing rockets in regards with “max. range for target aquisition”…or smt like that…
:thinking:
