Will cryo be nerfed in near future?

I am doing the exact same thing and would be concerned also. But what can you do?  Just carry on and see what happens.  My gut says not directly for a while, but things like the new disguise module will be an indirect nerf.  If will impact burst weapons more so, I think.  You will probably have fired the full salvo of your rockets before you realise the target has that module, other weapon types might allow you to stop and wait it out. But that will be the same issue for orkans, gusts etc 

Anyway, I am going to carry on regardless and see what happens.  Looking at the damage stats however it looks like 1.10 Cryo will do about the same damage as my 2.12 orkans, so it doesn’t appear to bad in terms of getting them to a point that they are viable. 

I highly doubt Cryos will get nerfed soon. Sure, they're the dominant weapon right now, but nowhere near as dominating as Orkans were during the Dash/Spectre heyday.

They'll definitely get a nerf at some point, but likely not a "nerfed to oblivion" like the shotguns. And not soon.

Undoubtedly eventual adjustments

Rime in particular is almost a Cryo. Glacier is head and shoulders above rime, then again Exodus is head and shoulders above pinatas and Orkan.

Yeah, I’m worried about scourges too, as well as my pulsars.

I’d just got a set of Dragoon’s to lvl 12 when Pix gave them a small by significant enough nerf in the firing mechanics. 

I think they will be nerfed soon.
They are the best weapons in the game at this point and they are giving them as free candy which is weird because Pixonic has never give strong items that easy.
Ar this point tons of players have these weapons, Pixonic only needs to flip the switch to make everyone hangar useless.


The shotgun nerf was a lie, they were modified to suit the gameplay of the Ravana and the upcoming Scorpion.

Well DPM was the culprit, Storm had nearly twice as much ammo as Corona and is only tier 2 vs 4. Overall reload time went up significantly. Ravana was in the works before the shotgun nerf.

Storm isn't necessarily better for Ravana than Cryo, players just have them maxed.

Short answer: yes

Long answer: why is this even a question?


I think we're smack bang right in the middle of the Cryo pack's dominance. The Atomiser family are next in line to take over. Once they're ready (a few months imo), Pix will hit the Cryo pack with a strong nerf to herd everyone to use Atomiser and friends as the most dominant playstyle.

And I they recharge even faster, like 4-5 less seconds.

These daily free 600 comps might make them the quickest nerf ever

When too many have the weapon, they will nerf.

Too many had orkans - nerf.
Too many had shotguns - nerf.
Too many had avengers - nerf.
Too many had Ao Juns - nerf.

There's already too many that have cryos. Complaining about the cryo nerf is like complaining about the shotgun nerf. It's going to happen no matter what.

Let's see.
They offer parts daily for winning to convince toy to stop in every day to play to collect, so I say yes.

As long as you understand this is exactly how the nerf cycle works, you'll have zero surprises in this game.

So all you Ravana and French Ming players out there, you're on notice.

RightOn, you are right on!
I get all my numbers from the wiki, most of the wep data for L9 I transpose to a spreadsheet. So the Exodus was older data. There was 10% buff earlier. I have edited to reflect to correct values.
Thanks for the heads up! I may keep using my Exodus for a while yet. But those Orkans have got to go!

I see what you're saying, but a DIRECT nerf might not be necessary for people to move away from Cyros. New types of modules, buffs to other weapons, buffs to bots and things like that negate the burstyness of the Cryos, making them ineffective in higher play. 

It doesn't really matter what type of nerf the Cryos get (direct, or indirect), all we know is that it will happen. And with their current level of dominance, it's more likely to be soon than not.
