FreddyABSTAINI didn't find enough time to properly test it.
AntibodyYESthe 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

carnag3YESwe 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

SPLATYESThe current crylink is way too broken dps wise as well as having a negative impact on movement.
Spike29ABSTAINI haven't had a chance to test these changes, I'll defer to the votes of those who have.
