I thought this was funny

[u/Careless-Flan]

Edit: yes I made it

[u/betterthaneukaryotes]

At least you last longer and don't cost a robot leg and an arm to maintain 🙄

[u/Legitimate_Suit2051]

The batman (yes, the batman) is more of a pocket, secondary pistol. Meanwhile the anvil is used as a main gun.

You can clearly see this by the fact you cant put any attachments on it and thats it's way stronger when hip firing.

[u/604Ataraxia → u/Legitimate_Suit2051]

It's my PvP companion to the anvil now. It has a nasty damage dump up close.

[u/SuspiciousCalendar1 → u/604Ataraxia]

Yeah I think this is the only real use case for the gun - blasting pops or players at point blank

[u/LThalle → u/SuspiciousCalendar1]

Obliterates shredders too. If you just get in their face and mag dump 3 times they die, and it lines up pretty well with their attack cycle.

[u/SuspiciousCalendar1 → u/LThalle]

Yeah prob a decent budget option there. Nothing is beating my Bettina with kinetic converter single mag. The goat of shredder killing. (Beside maybe hullcracker)

[u/ninjanick123 → u/SuspiciousCalendar1]

I like using it to clear sentry's you can just pop 4 and take it out before it even locks on

[u/Tw3lve1212 → u/604Ataraxia]

The "dont talk to me or my son ever again" kit

[u/Armstonks → u/Legitimate_Suit2051]

Yes this I'm on PVE servers (Peaceful without a toggle) and anvil is veeery good with silencer Bangbang is cool too but without the attachments you just have to go loud and proud

[u/Ceviche__ → u/Legitimate_Suit2051]

If you grab your opponent by the belt buckle, the revolver is effective. A bit more base damage, however, would make it more popular.

[u/TheSodomizer00]

Hate this little piece of shite. Especially the delay when pulling the trigger.

[u/Hanfos → u/TheSodomizer00]

the delay reminds me of the revolver in cs2

[u/A_Random_Catfish → u/Hanfos]

Whole gun feels exactly like the cs revolver

[u/Ceviche__ → u/A_Random_Catfish]

During the Points Review, I grew fond of them on Stella, in combination with the single grenade launcher.

And yes, the Revolver feels like CS2!

[u/xRzge → u/Hanfos]

was broken for exactly one day and then they made it a meme forever

[u/Lotos_aka_Veron → u/xRzge]

Revolver in cs2 is genuinely a good gun, its basically scout for a fraction of scouts price.

It has higher skill floor, thats why so many players dislike it (literally skill issue), but its great once you get used to it.

[u/Little_Duty4587 → u/TheSodomizer00]

yeah, the delay is very odd!

[u/HUM0R0U2 → u/Little_Duty4587]

Better accuracy would make up for it but even when ADS I feel like it’s very hard to land precise shots

[u/The-One-J → u/TheSodomizer00]

Yeah f*ck that.

[u/VishnaTrash44]

bantam RIPS up close. it kills shredders almost as fast as a hullcracker at a fraction of a price

[u/Defiant2022NM]

👏

[u/CorundumSW]

I love how the balsam is a less accurate, but faster gun! It feels like a tradeoff to use it compared to the anvil, but I don't feel like it's completely redundant.

[u/Careless-Peace2962]

I prefer the bantam now tbh

[u/n_thomas74 → u/Careless-Peace2962]

Yeah me too. I haven't even used an Anvil since the update. I prefer the faster reloading of the Bantam.

[u/Careless-Peace2962 → u/n_thomas74]

That hammer fan should have been on the anvil from the start but I'll take it

[u/Train3rRed88 → u/n_thomas74]

I’m just so used to running anvil and have it be a catch all I can’t get use to the Bentham. I need to be able to take down arc at some range

But I think a renegade and Batam could be a good combo, I just don’t see it outperforming the Burletta

[u/n_thomas74 → u/Train3rRed88]

I was thinking about using Anvil for range and Bantam for close/faster fire rate.

[u/normanthehuman2 → u/Careless-Peace2962]

Vibe based loadout

[u/Careless-Peace2962 → u/normanthehuman2]

Its cheap and works great for close combat

[u/ManufacturerNo8447 → u/Careless-Peace2962]

It chew through ammo and deals less and far less accurate.

They aren't even the same class

[u/Vector_Mortis]

Id rather have the Snubby in cqc tbh

[u/SakeSakenoMi]

I like the Bantam much better tbh

[u/LLoadin]

I love this thing in cqc

[u/ThickSea9566]

I feel called out... 

[u/randonegus]

I’ll never understand why they made the anvil blue AND nerfed the fire rate

[u/Legitimate_Suit2051 → u/randonegus]

They didn't nerf the fire rate. Making the gun blue was the best thing they could've done, since it was easily top 3 gun while being green. Better than just nerfing the stats

[u/VishnaTrash44 → u/randonegus]

they didnt change a single stat lol

[u/YearMountain3773 → u/VishnaTrash44]

Doesn't it lose furability slower as a blue gun?

[u/GrimDallows → u/YearMountain3773]

Iirc, blue guns have better durability loss, but -I think- the anvil wasn't touched when it jumped to blue tier, so it probably still has a green tier level of durability loss.

[u/randonegus → u/VishnaTrash44]

Are you sure? The delay before resetting the hammer feels longer

[u/super_chill_21 → u/randonegus]

I agree. Only on level 1 tho

[u/theBoobMan → u/[deleted]]

Its stimulating a real revolver. Semi automatic weapons use the air pressure from the explosion to load the next round. Revolvers have to spin the chamber and draw the hammer in one trigger pull. Hip fire demonstrates the difference by using using one hand to draw the hammer.

[u/thedudedylan]

That little pos gun eather needs to be inaccurate or have the delay when firing, but having both makes it pretty much unusable.
