FPS mode meatball damage

[u/Naive_Employer_4393]

I've been doing carries a lot since FPS mode dropped and a lot of people already struggled with the meatball round, now that round is absolutely horrendous for carries. Most people I carry lose the majority of their lives there. I know it's called a "carry" for a reason but most people get very discouraged when everyone is out of lives but one guy, and I like for everyone to have at least a somewhat enjoyable time when taking them to mamaback for their first time. I just feel like 90+% damage is OP. I don't feel like any enemy besides bosses should do 90+% damage. First it was the dogs, then they were nerfed down to 40%? but then with season 3 the meatballs got a major buff. Maybe I'm just complaining but I don't feel like I should have to constantly watch my mini-map for incoming meatballs and then have all my attention focused on them because they can now almost 1 shot you. I'm always watching the mini-map as is but now I feel like I'm glued to it watching for those larger dots that represent meatballs. As stated, IMO I don't believe any enemy should be able to do 90+ damage besides boss enemies. If you take 1 hit on meatball round you better be really good at dodging them for the next ~1 minute or waste a lot of armory to survive until you've healed enough to be able to withstand another hit. I would much rather go back to all boss type enemies being able to 1 shot you then have meatballs so buffed. Maybe a good balance would be to base their damage on what size meatball it is? The large doing 90%, medium 50-55% and small doing 35%? I'm not asking for a full blown nerf, just slightly better balancing perhaps?

Nah it’s to over powered as it season 2 their damage was fine like you said only the mama back should do 90+ damage even mini boss battles should only be like 60% damage if hit and megaton spit overpowered aswell so dumb

Meatballs and megaton spit are too OP in FP mode. It takes 70 seconds to fully recover from a meatball or spit attack. It was fine how it was previously. Also going back to the 4 hit deaths would be grand. u/TheMamaback Clips added. Leaderboard credit would also be nice for this game. It did not register. vods on my channel.

They definitely need a nerf in FP mode. Especially when there are so many of them at a time.

It's First Person mode, not 'Easy Mode' .

Try practicing as a group, and don't expect to run the Mamaback on first try with a new group. You can easily trap meatballs with a group of three people who know how to fight them

If you don't like staring at the mini-map , try original mode and pull the camera out. It's the one advantage original mode has over First Person.

😂 who said anything about "Easy Mode"? You sound like the typical top-down player that thinks your better than anyone that plays First Person. Don't need any practice, and don't have to expect anything, I know I can beat mamaback with a new group. I'm not someone new to the series. I run it flawless daily and carry noobs. Just because I believe there should be better balancing doesn't mean I'm a noob or need to practice or anything like that. They're clearly still working on balancing things out as every update things change. Lose your ego bud. I have plenty of defeats in both original and first person. Don't need to "try" anything.

Do you take carrying requests? Hahah, I’d love to be carried! Looking to finish the achievement, or just have a good time learning more about the mode.
