For Engineer I again have the NS option, but to be fair I love the Serpent, but again, several better options on the TR side. I actually do notice a difference in the bullet count, I love fighting VS because you can spray a burst, duck into cover like you're going to reload, they almost always have to reload, then you pop out and kill them with the twenty rounds you have left while they are reloading. For added fun shout out a "need ammo" when you duck into cover. Klowns fucked around with this message at 06:31 on Sep 2, 2014 |

I guess it could pay off if you have a bunch of characters of the same faction for some reason, as it pushes the price under 100g, but still, kind of lackluster. At least the guns themselves aren't poo poo?

The absurdly low DPM and possible wonky hit detection have been playing really badly with each other and getting those 300 kills has been a grind. Really should have gone and picked up the Vandal when it was on sale.

I had most of the guns in it already at the time, sadly. How do people kit out their battle rifles? Thinking of getting one, so went in VR and 3.4x crosshair scope, HVA and laser seemed about right but wonder if I'm missing the benefits of barrel attachments or am overestimating HVA

Blasmeister posted:I had most of the guns in it already at the time, sadly. Suppressor is OK on a Battle Rifle at close-mid range where you don't worry as much about velocity, and it's especially OK on the Eidolon because the increased bullet drop doesn't exist. The reason I say it's OK is that the BR only really has two shots-to-kill ranges: The max damage range and then +1 bullet at every other range. Kinda like the TRAP, except not quite as good. I wouldn't use a Flash Suppressor at all (see below). A Compensator is good but will tank the hipfire which can actually be acceptable with a Laser. You could combine the two but I just learn to live with the recoil. I run IRNV/1x/2x with a Laser and nothing else or a 3.4x/4x with a Grip and Compensator. The former is for general work, the latter is for long-distance support and counter-sniping. With tapfiring it's not really a big deal to go Laser instead of Grip at range, so only use a Grip if you're spamming shots at a distance (spamming shots with a Laser up close is workable and highly recommended as it lets you hipfire inside of 10m). 30 Second Artbomb posted:There's no reason not to put a flash hider on any weapon that isn't capable of fully-automatic fire and doesn't require any other barrel attachment.

Someone posted about it 4 days ago, but there is definitely a bug with Tomcat lockons at the moment. It seem to occur when you approach a target with tomcats active; they simply don't lock on, no matter the distance. Switching to your nose-gun and back to the tomcats resets it and you can lock-on like normal. It happens probably 70% of the time, so if you're using Tomcats don't fly around with them active- wait until you're in range and switch to them.

Has anyone tried the T1A Unity yet? Someone in my TR outfit dismissively said yesterday "It's not that great, it's just the T1 Cycler with SPA" Which sounds like it could beat the TORQ for "Most bullshit amazing Assault Rifle" and the TORQ is already setting a high bar.

It always astounds me that the TR have really good guns but they complain about them. You could give them a gun where it can one-clip a Vanguard (even with the shield up), each bullet gets an explosive blast radius, the bullets are hitscan, and you get a handy from Kat Dennings every time you pull the trigger. And they'd still find something to complain about.  In other news, I might pick up the advanced Steam bundle with the NS-15m and the Underboss, how are those guns?

Fans posted:Has anyone tried the T1A Unity yet? Someone in my TR outfit dismissively said yesterday "It's not that great, it's just the T1 Cycler with SPA" I have this sneaking suspicion most TR Medics buy the TRV or TAR and use them without ever really investing any time in the T1 and then bitch about how shaky TR guns are. Which the TRV and TAR certainly are, but not without reason (if the TRV had better handling than it does it'd be basically the most powerful AR in the game). But the T1 most certainly is not, and if there's anything that could make it even better all around it's SPA. It would be like a VS Heavy-whore shrugging off the Betelgeuse as "Just an Orion with infinite ammo," or an NC player saying the Reaper/Tross is "Just a more accurate Gauss Rifle with 200 damage bullets." Which I'm sure if you look hard enough you can probably find examples of both of on Forumside.

I'm probably really stupid for saying this but I don't like the TRV much. I much prefer the T1, SABR, and Torq as far as handling goes. When I tried out the T1S in VR, that also seemed really nice as well.

Kaiju Cage Match posted:In other news, I might pick up the advanced Steam bundle with the NS-15m and the Underboss, how are those guns? The Underboss on the other side is kinda pointless now that it doesn't combo with the knife anymore, and it's outshadowed by the Commissioner when you want just a single big finisher. Stats-wise it could be solid as a medium/long-range sidearm (to be paired with shotguns), since it's got the same accuracy and shots-to-kill as the Commish, but that would require decent sights and a recoil animation that doesn't take up half your screen; as it is, I have an easier time landing seven shots with the Rebel than four with either revolver. My opinion is that you can wait for a Steam sale and won't be any worse off, but it can be a reasonable purchase even at full price if you really like the Esamir Snow camo (which is almost perfect white and means you can ignore the Objective directive). You should absolutely buy the $/€9 bundle before you even look at the $/€7 one though (and the $/€7 one before the $/€5 one).

Kaiju Cage Match posted:It always astounds me that the TR have really good guns but they complain about them. Anyone else getting anoyed by constantly getting spammed down by VS heavys, just blocking M1 and going AFK to farm? And why do I have a crappy TR gun, which shakes more than a pneumatic hammer? Something is terribly wrong about recoil balance in this game. While most TR weapons are unuseable after 30 meters, VS just have to hold the trigger and wait for the kill. How the hell shall we TR compensate 1 milimeter recoil kicks on the screen on a 700+ RPM weapon? That is less than 0.1 second time to compensate the recoil, that is impossible. VS 500 RPM can compensate that much easyer, so why do they have ~0 recoil? I don't even try to fight VS anymore, except it is a small base. Somehow I am annoyed of being murdered with 100% accuracy on 100 meters range. Did anyone else notice, that you can mostly only spawn into fights against VS? I have to go to the warpgate and grab a Mosquito, when I want to get away from a Vanu fight, simply because there is no spawn to any NC fight.
