RS players have expressed their concerns for the relative weakness of the Rescue Ranger over other weapons. This thread is for posting suggestions in order to change/improve the weapon's stats.
My pitch: 10% extra damage Reasoning: Rescue Ranger fires projectiles instead of hit scan. Oftentimes at close range you can't kill medics in three hits. This small damage buff would help remedy that.
I approve of buffing the Rescue Ranger in this method. Do you believe the buff, as mentioned earlier on discord of 5-10% reload speed would be too much?
I do not think a reload speed increase is justified considering the Rescue Ranger already has the same ammunition and clip size as the Shotgun. A damage increase would be best, however we should figure out exactly by how much. The Shotgun deals 9-90 damage at point blank, whereas the Rescue Ranger currently deals 60. Sticking to multiples of 5, this is what we end up with: 5% damage increase -> 63 10% damage increase -> 66 15% damage increase -> 69 20% damage increase -> 72 25% damage increase -> 75 Tell me what you think of these values, and which one would be most appropriate for the situation.
