If you can get into CQC....I mean true CQC then they will hurt themselves while they shoot you...as long as they dont hit you directly you will be doing more dmg with your shots + their own dmg being dealt to themselves.
Dont even try to "dodge" being hit by the AOE....its simply not possible. The best you can do is to positions yourself in a way that the blast radius does not help them......unfortunately the brilliantly designed maps by CCP allow for very few areas where you can position objects between you and the MD round.
People say height advantage is the best method....but that is the best method vs every single weapon in the game. So in reality if you say the only way to counter an MD is to have height advantage then that is just a laughable statement.
Not even LAVs are safe as your dropsuit will take dmg if your char is in the explosive radius....even when it hits the vehicle.
While I see your point about higher ground (that it affects everyone), it does not affect everyone equally. The reason that high ground is generally cited as a counter to the MD is because it is a HARD counter. Unless the user is very good at land precise direct hits every time, they won't be able to engage you. Fighting a MD user from high ground essentially makes it so they have no splash (and therefore are pretty terrible).So yes, it is a legitimate counter.
I have also recently seen the strategy of 'charge into extreme close quarters, up in the MD users face' work quite effectively. Really scares the crap out of me, and has lead to some suicides for sure. Good thing I'm an Amarr logi and I have a sidearm though :) |

semperfi1999 wrote: LOL at your "hard counter" I personally didnt have any issues when I use the MD....but then again I rarely sit there and try to shoot up at someone who has the higher ground as for every weapon the higher ground has the advantage....because you can barely peak your head over the top and fire your weapon thus maintaining most of your cover.
Look, I'm trying to keep these discussions civil, but every post you make about the Mass Driver seems to be full of rage. The Mass Driver is one of those 'easy to learn, difficult to master' kind of of weapons. Yeah you can get some kills with it right after you pick it up, but it will take a long long time to be able to consistently hit some of the more difficult, long distance and height disadvantaged shots. There is just no way you're as good with the MD as you claim to be after using it for a day or two.
So please, tone it down a notch and admit that it is no where near the skill-less god-weapon that you're trying to make it out to be. Yes it's good, but it has very apparent weaknesses and deficiencies. |

Because I am not smart... and I armor tank... while using a mass driver... this should end well. Heard it here first. Even CCP is using Mass Drivers.
And they have never touched an AR in their lives.... |

You are a worthless troll. That is all. Show me pics of you smashing with AR. It's just a point and click weapon right? You use MD for the challenge...LMFAO!
I have no need to prove anything to you. |

I'd love to see a video of you owning with the MD (an unedited video, showing various ranges and encounters that one typically has, not purely 10m distance CQC).
I will make no claim to be good at AR, since I haven't used one since I used the militia when I first started the game (January). |
