Increases RG 220 wield delay
About The Pull Request
ided pr Increases RG 220 wield delay from 1.2 to 2.0 seconds.
Why It's Good For The Game
Currently, RG 220 is a very powerful operational weapon which easily farms kills and snowballs the game for marines.
Because it's wield time is significantly shorter than other weapons of it's size/strength, it's incredibly safe to run as a primary weapon - you can wield it quickly out of stuns and force xenos off of you with a single shot.
This change forces RG220 users to carry a backup weapon or consider their positioning more carefully, similar to other weapons of it's caliber.

This comes back to it being a real poor idea to give it more than one shot per reload.

Maybe true. Still, marines shouldn't be power cleaning this weapon up to their shoulders in less time than an HPR
It already has a high fire delay and can't be used really well with other weapons because of said fire delay. (Funny juggle PR). You're better off removing the extra shots per mag.

Whether it can be juggled is irrelevant - the point is that you can fire this large, heavy weapon too quickly out of getting stunned. You shouldn't be able to wake up from a stun/knockdown and use this within 1 second - it's a man-sized railgun.
I'm not interesting in nerfing the weapon into the ground - I just want it to play like a heavy weapon.
