Apparently, that idiot who did that 13 min solo run won't admit he cheated

Loooooooooooooool. You're not wrong.

Is this elvish?

Some will call it cheating - others will argue that it's the balance patch everyone has been waiting for and that is urgently needed...

Vegas, did you ever post on the old forums?

Just because people complain about weapon balance doesn't necessarily mean they're bad at the game.  At this stage of the game, most weapons are severely outclassed by a select few.  People want more powerful weapons not for the sake of power, but for the sake of diversity.  As an extreme example, I imagine your solo time would be longer if you tried running the same kit with a Viper X instead of a Vanquisher X because the Viper is strictly worse than the Vanquisher (which it should be because it's only a common).  But there are a plethora of weapons that pale in comparison to the Vanquisher at gold or even N7 rarity.  People aren't asking for gun and power buffs to make the game easier as a whole, they're asking for these buffs so there's greater incentive to use something other than a Vanquisher.

And the true purpose of this thread is revealed. We're done here.

This whole thread is a work of art.

But not, like, fancy art. More like the kind where someone cuts an animal in half and puts it in a glass box for hipsters to twirl their moustaches at.

OP doesn't understand speedruns.

Sirian wins.

What is your problem?

A truly shocking outcome.

This tbh. I don't have a vanquisher, and I used the ''glitch'' with a regular weapon, and I didn't feel OP, it just felt right.
