Forum Overview :: Dr. Dan Buroker, M.D.'s Team Fortress 2 :: It sure felt like lower dps

[quote name="Ray of Light"]tf2wiki says 10% lower damage and longer reload time (5 shots per 8 sec vs 4 in 6). That's before counting lack of crits (base 1/6th chance of triple damage = average of +40 per shot for the RL, but disproportionately responsible for choke point kills because the big instant damage overwhelms buffs). The alt-fire sort of makes up for loss of crits but does less damage than one crocket and takes 5x as long to shoot.[/quote]
