Everyone and their mom is a heavy now. This would be okay if the game was actually balanced and glitch free, but it just isn't. All these ridiculous events - it's like having a NASCAR race with a prototype car on an unfinished track.
This game was already hard enough for scouts, but I simply cannot deal with the shear volume of heavies. I just can't kill anything. I may get close, but then a heavy steps in the way and absorbs all the bullets and wipes me out.
That LMG... I don't want to complain about it being OP, because that isn't the way to go, but as a scout I sure as hell don't have hit points, all I have is my speed, and even with ComKats, Com Shield Extenders, and Enhanced Armor plates I just cannot get away. They fire deal too much dps for my speed/small amount of HP. I just cannot get away from that HMG, even at a pretty decent distance it still wipes me out. It's just so accurate. What is my role as a scout if not to get in fast, disrupt the objective and get out? The heavy is designed to storm and hold objectives, so that makes things difficult for me, and now there's so many that I can't do anything with any objective. I try to take cover but I just can't make it in time. I try to stay in cover and never reveal myself, but that just means when I run into a heavy I'm face to face with them. I may be close to getting into safe cover, but then I get stuck on invisible debris, or just can't make it up that hill that my grandma could walk up. I try to move with my squad, but then I get wiped out because I'm not a heavy, lol.
My problem isn't entirely with the HMG, I was just venting a little, my point is the game isn't finished enough to be pushing events and playstyles like this. I can make it behind a wall and still get wrecked because the scouts hit box lags behind them. I can sneak up on a heavy and plow away at him with my Ishukone Nova Knifes, charged, and do zero damage because all I get are blue shields because this glitch has still not been fixed. But of course he still gets tipped off that an attack came from that direction so then, they turn around and blow me away.
I know I am not supposed to go toe to toe with them, and I try not too, but I have to fight eventually if I want to get anything done. In the past two weeks I managed to raise my KDR by .08, but since this event it's already fallen by .03. I simply cannot deal with all of these heavies and this event has seriously made this game unplayable for me, and this upsets me. |

I don't find the tanks to be such a difficult thing, because you can go where they can't. The part that sucks is you can easily be confined to one objective because of all of them. But at least you can still get kills with all the tanks running around. Plus I could jump in a buddies tank myself. Plus I have AV grenades that deal a substantial blow to them. Plenty of ways to deal with tanks.Not many ways to deal with heavies aside from coming in after your team has taken everything or just not playing the game. |

What's your KDR? No offense but I've found that when most people say they aren't having any problems while being at a disadvantage, it's because they've always sucked lol
I used to go 2 to 1, I even had a few 20+ kills, ~5 death games but then this event dropped and now I'm lucky if I go 1 to 1.
I typically run shotgun (militia, I have no skills for it), SMG, or Nova Knives and my equipment is always nanite injectors or drop uplinks. Definitely not working for me now. |

I want to thank everyone who replied to this thread. To everyone who reccomended Nova Knives, as I said the blue shields glitch where you do no damage is what wrecks me. My Nova knife specialization is at 3, which I regret speccing into at this point in the game.
But it seems the general concensus is to use remote mines/shotgun. This kind of sucks because there should be more ways to play besides this. Having one role should not force you into one playstyle but I have to remember that dust is not so much about 'skill' as it is 'experience', so you have to just use what items you have to beat what they have. Paper, rock, scissors.
I'll pick up some remote mines and see how it goes. Are the basic ones fine? |
