Pinky handles nano by nano, thats a difference

How is it a sneaky weapon when you glow like Christmas and buzz like a bee.

If you hold the nano, you will appear to glow like a Christmas tree.

If someone else uses the nano and approaches you, you won't see the aura, only the blade itself when doing face-to-face duel/battle. Maybe a coding difficulty/issue.

The buzzing is missheard easily or even missing. What you will hear is only is the 'wosh' sound after you got instakilled by the nano.

Knowing that its 130 damages & that most of the times u got 130+ health at the begining, its not instakill (Considering that double swing only works when the other one is not moving at all => naab).

Or maybe hamr is instakill?

Initially I used the Nano to counter the Riot shield users because the sword cuts through the shield like butter. However, since the recent update the Nano no longer ignores armor which greatly reduced its usability in this respect. This, and the very high weapons switching time makes the sword less useful (for me at least).
The only real advantage it still has is the speed bonus. I sometimes use this on maps like Rail to get to the enemy roof before they start camping there (works however in only 10% of the cases, depending on the initial respawn locations ).

At the moment I do more prefer the Katana for several reasons: fast weapon switch, higher 'rate of fire', it doesn't block a main weapon slot and it is silent. On the downside it has no effect against the riot shield, i.e. you have to get behind the shield user to hit him.

And the Nano is not an instant kill weapon. It 'only' deals 130 damage - you can get almost similar damage with the Rail or the X-83 Sniper. So instead of a 'wosh' sound you just see the light at the end of the Rail shot or the noise from the sniper. The only difference is that these can be used from extreme distance while you have to get very close with the Nano (with its annoying buzzing sound)...

Nano is not for pussies, contrary to the rail. Almost the same damages & u can hit 100m away. And then people complains about the nano?

[iRobot]

Rail is harder to use. Hitting a precision shot from 100m away on a moving target takes more effort than the typical "Hurrr Durrr running forward spamming mouse click" of the Nano. Not to mention 95% of the maps don't support Rail usage that well.

Don't even try to argue it.

[Oska]

Exept that 100m away or even 50m u are hidden, as far as I know "Hurrr Durrr running forward spamming mouse click" includes running, not hiding.

What's your point?

[Oska]

Maybe your sarcastic "Hurrr Durrr running forward spamming mouse click" was inappropriate. That was my point
