Freddy	ABSTAIN	I didn't find enough time to properly test it.
Antibody	YES	the data shows that exploding all links simultaneously leads to a dramatic increase in the average damage dealt. While we want to encourage its use more, IMHO this aspect takes it too far
Arch	NONE
bones_was_here	YES
carnag3	YES	we have tested this crylink settings for over 6 months now and I found that it doesn't make the weapon noticeably weaker or less useful than the default version, on the contrary it adds a nuance in using it effectively at medium range where you press and hold primary to time when to release the button so the pellets can converge and hit the target instead of getting easy damage where all pellets explode when it touches the enemy. Firing at close range is not effected much by this balance change compared to default and with no linkexplode reduces many instances of self damage

SPLAT	YES	The current crylink is way too broken dps wise as well as having a negative impact on movement.
