I hunt them down with the new Shotgun though. Flare can be very weak if used uncorrectly and can be amazing if used by experiernced player. Its balanced weapon and requires much more skill that that new shotgun, minigun and battle ram. Well said. I don't think flare gun is OP. It's definitely a powerful weapon, but not OP. I guess it just depends on the player who uses it. Also, the accuracy is a bit hard to get used to. You can literally miss shots all the time. Flare gun actually takes a lot of skill to be super good. Speakng of Flare Gun, with skills/practice; it is counterable using just non-gold/non-realUSD equipment like Revolver, and even your first shotgun.

Battle Ram doesn't require Skill to be "profecient" with it as so far, since I started to play this game; I only encountered one that actually use it with skill (snipe, constantly on the move and even move around you) and not your typical Battle Ram "pro" that does nothing but choose a camping site, then fire at anything that moves.

While Arisocrat Shotgun is rather on the OP side, I've seen a lot of players that play with it with actual skills (rush at target then fire, if miss; quickly turn around and shoot while moving in whatever direction etc.  you'll know a skilled player when you see one, regardless if he use crappy or op weapon)

As for the Holloween event (this thread's actual topic), except for some oldies/"PRO's" that ruin the tier for everyone else  (again, not throwing grenades, using "OP" stuff and Anti-Explosive gear against newbies <players that we want to have = greater player base) ; the event was both fun and a good stepping stone for anyone that played this game for the first time and completed either or both Week 1 and Week 2 tiers (stake launcher is a good and fun weapon for those skilled with this, and of course; a double barrel shotgun; along 5% agility/health gears AKA warlock and monster pieces respectively.  Still hoping that we're done with the grenades though. I hate "explosive" tiers (I suck at gadget explosives >.<)
