I thought the Force-a-Nature was already good as it. Why buff it?

[Original]

No doubt, everytime I get hit twice by fon as any class except heavy I am dead. Does the 10% now allow an instant kill on heavies too?

[Riftoff]

What the fuck kind of bizarro world are you guys living in? The Force-a-Nature is still weaker than the default scattergun, which means I can 2HKO everything with it, right? Uh no, not unless one's a crit or it was an already weakened player, or both shots we're point blank on a 125HP class.

[Original]

Well, it ususally goes like this.

Scout, oh crap, can't get away. Shot with fon, in the air can't run, shot again, dead. That's at least 90% of the time.

The Force-a-Nature is still weaker than the default scattergun

Taking into account the amount of bullets, the FaN deals 1.08 times the damage of the default scattergun, not to mention the knockback and the quick fire rate.

[VillageSavant]

My personal favorite add that was not mentioned is the mini-crits given by the flare gun. With your opponent already on fire and you hit them with a flare shot, the shot will be given mini-crits and have the flame last what seems to me a good while.

ive killed poeple with this when they were IN A FUCKING func_refresh ZONE!!! (basicly you can only die with 1hit kills or point blanc heavy of a HOLD DOWN FIRE AT POINT BLANK RANGE WIH FAN!!! /rage

btw i hate nub scouts with this, I played scout before it was cool.

[Original]

and just so its clear I was speaking from an attcked perspective. I barely play scout 'cause I really do suck at it and so far I only got the Bonkx3 because of the random drop item thing.

So I have not used FON myself.
