    I gotta admit it's kinda funny to see a prestige 6 use python on me and do like nothing. xD

    I have the perks and they don't help when the weapon only hits with 3 taps and goes off flying back into the air. I'm getting real tired of the python costing me games.. I want to level it but in games with other prestiges, you have 3 shots to use what you want then one of you is going to die. So I use my python, get 36 damage and end up loosing the game over it. I'd be better off just using the weapons I already had before it and knowing if I loose, it's not because of the crappy prestige 6 weapon. It should have been called the lightening bug, because it just flies around harmlessly flashing like one lol.

    I just read some comments and I saw more Pythons used in-game so I'll slightly change my opinion.
    What about make the Firestorm as Pr.6 weapon, and Python as Pr.1 weapon? A weapon that nearly deals 700 damage with x2 should deserve the place of Pr.6

    Um that would make a lot of prestige 1s rage(including me) My firestorm is not even lvl 5 yet and i only do like <150 damage on a average one tank hit without 2x obviously.

    90% of the time it's nothing more than a giant let down disappointment lol. The other 10% is ok though.

    In a way, it is like Chancer. You either hit hard or deal insufficient damage.

    In my opinion, it should at least stay within a certain width without it going over it, not just go to the left and run away when you hit the person dead on.
    It has the potential to be severely OP, but the fact that it rarely ever does is what makes me sad.

    It is a gamble weapon like Shooting Star, Chancer, Moles, Floaters, Wild One and Rampage.

    I'm starting to change my opinion because I saw some pathetic fails.

    I once had seen a Python going upwards nonstop. We don't freaking have flying tanks do we? It'd be rather more great if it has a limited range, possibly like SinkHole. It just goes way too off and sometimes it hits the shooter.

    Only difference is that chancer is in a weapon pack you buy for 80 coins, python you have to level over 300 times, prestige 6 times, and have at least 735,000 XP to earn it. All that work for a weapon that will let you down and make you loose games almost every time you use it.

    Not completely true. A friend of mine got 240 with it earlier, just because it's luck based doesn't make it a horrible weapon.

    Yeah it does do good sometimes.. I've had one shot killed someone with it and an x2, was 318 damage. Then the next 15 times I've used it since then has been from 36 damage to 72 damage. I like most luck based weapons and I'd love the python if it was a weapon pack item. Just stinks when it's a prestige weapon that usually doesn't do decent amounts of damage. 50/50 would be great but it's more like 90/10 with it lol. I play a lot of 1v1 DM's, so say someone uses a fighter jet on me first turn and does 150 damage.. So I turn around and use a python and get 36 damage, that pretty much is a lost game right from the start being we only get 3 to 4 shots at most.

    It may be a prestige weapon that you have to work for but it's at least free right? I think people would want a luck based weapon that has a chance of really being something helpful when they need it the most rather than paying for it right? You can never go wrong with a free weapon. :)

    Woooohoooo! First time I've shot it in an actual game and got big pts at a lvl 3 Python. Normally only get the good pts in the Firing Range. But finally got a good score! (Went straight down and had a few more that would have hit, but icetime141's tank was on the bottom and it stopped hitting then.)

    I personally like Python. I come to this game for fun, regardless if I win or not. I realize we've all put time into this game, and it may not be the best weapon for Prestige 6, but it's a fun wep! The way it goes everywhere just makes it exciting to see what it does next. Anywho, just my thoughts...

    Saw a guy do 220 with it yesterday, it pretty much went straight down, almost all hit. :) And it was without x2, no perks, and I'm pretty sure that no one got it over level 3 yet..

    My record so far :D http://prntscr.com/3i7qop (I don't usually curse and "fkds" doesn't mean anything, I just slammed the keyboard 'cause I couldn't believe that python did 247 dmg ._.)

    Sometimes I feel bad for the noobs or people with no traction when Python goes straight down on them.
    When Python gets its crap together, it makes an insanely steep-ass hole.

    I didn't want to tell anyone but i went on MAT just to see the mechanics of the python.I don't feel like that is such a bad thing as i have played against many high level prestiges but none of them ever get python nonetheless use python.
