If its heated up and I club you with it your skull should probably just melt.

realistically HMGs should have more range, rof, and do more damage compared to an AR per bullet but thats poor game mechanics. And unfortionetly we seem to smack with our elbow or rifle butts or whatevs. But i tottally agree, it only makes sence



All weapons should be 2 to 3 shot kills and be able to hit from across the map (hit, not reliably aimed across the map)

And yes that would turn an HMG into a weed whacker with a 50 foot string...as it should be.]]> Thu, 2 May 2013 20:24:00 +0000 dustsearch/guid/509258 <![CDATA[HMG should boost melee damage 1000% - by Sloth9230]]> https://forums.dust514.com/default.aspx?g=posts&m=736125#post736125 Scramble Scrub wrote:

heavies melee with their fists, not their weapon.

Which should do more damage anyway, considering they have strength enhancing servos, but no, give the damage bonus to the scout suit Roll]]> Thu, 2 May 2013 19:18:00 +0000 dustsearch/guid/508964 <![CDATA[HMG should boost melee damage 1000% - by Garrett Blacknova]]> https://forums.dust514.com/default.aspx?g=posts&m=735955#post735955 Your Absolut End wrote:

Okay, funny game I like to play,
let's go with simple physics:
A lightbeam is just as strong as it's source and will loose power over travelled distance. So, if a LR kills you in 80 m distance heated in like 2 seconds, what does this mean for CQC? ;)

You better say goodbye to anything you think you know, this is a game and going with logic won't bring you anything in here. It's about balance, not about realism.

To weaponise a laser, you need to focus the beam in such a way that it narrows down into the most tightly-confined beam possible. Different lenses could be focused to reach maximum intensity at a variety of ranges. But whatever lens you're using, you WILL have a fixed range unless you have a lens that can be dynamically reshaped or swapped out for a different one at will. So obviously, our Laser Rifles have a lens that has a fixed focal point at about [insert optimal range here]. Future variants might be better for CQC, or for even longer ranges.

Also, the laser description says that it's designed to operate at high heat, hence the increase in power as it heats up.]]> Thu, 2 May 2013 18:33:00 +0000 dustsearch/guid/508802 <![CDATA[HMG should boost melee damage 1000% - by Salazar Skye-fire]]> https://forums.dust514.com/default.aspx?g=posts&m=735806#post735806 Thu, 2 May 2013 17:38:00 +0000 dustsearch/guid/508701 <![CDATA[HMG should boost melee damage 1000% - by Himiko Kuronaga]]> https://forums.dust514.com/default.aspx?g=posts&m=735750#post735750 fahrenheitM wrote:

Realistically speaking, the handheld machine guns would never be more accurate than Assault rifles... the kick and lack of ability to actually aim when holding them don't allow it. Now, if it is mounted on some sort of stand, bi-pod or tri-pod... whatever.. then I could agree with you.


He never said anything about accuracy.
