I think the other weapon you were looking for, in memory, was the Tackler. My main build has “bad mounts” on the ones centered on the “Thin Strike plate.” I’ll post an image on my page.

@1:16:00 it makes perfect sense, because the Armor slab is a Sold BP part and they are nerfing the non Sold armor options. Like when they nerfed bumpers last month so they can sell more Armor parts in BPs. Like when they nerfed spaced armor without actually buffing heavy armor comparably, so they could sell Omamori. They balance things, purely off of what makes them money and what loses them money sadly. Retchers, lose them money because of their effectiveness in PvP and PVE, vs many other legendaries and some relics even.

Why did they decide to break retchers in this manner like wtf they do?
