Mass Driver lol The mass driver really has nothing to do with the video. If anything, it's one of the tactics devs expect players to learn instead of sticking with the assault rifle.
Sure, you just need to give the game about 4 more months before people have enough SP to get out of ARs after they have built up their core skills. Even then... why waste SP in new weapons when they are just gonna get nerfed anyways? |

For most weapons maybe, but explosives have been and continue to be a problem due to poor planning of damage fall off. |

people use AR because its familiar ik that's why I started using it Mass drivers aren't noob tubes- noob tubes are weapons anyone can be good with, not grenade launchers. Murder taxis are the closest thing dust has to noob tubes.
Mass Drivers ARE noob tubes. Its just that this punishing SP system isn't showing the metrics for it quite yet as it takes ages for people to settle into speccing it.
Full splash damage out at 6m? Theres no skill in that.
Combine with no skill flux nades that will deplete 100% of shields throughout the ENTIRE blast radius give you a 1 shot on shield tankers and a 2-3 shot on armor tankers?
no skill necessary.
At least with ARs you have to aim. its not easy taking down someone with 600+ EHP in a 1v1 strafe battle with automatic weapons in this game.
With a MD? Oh just have to shoot forward, my 6-8m of splash will take care of the rest.
Most of my kills in PC are with M1 locus nades... care to guess why? Splash damage mechanics are ****** |

It's difficult to hit with them at range, nearly impossible to hit someone above you, you rely on flux grenades (otherwise you'll never get through anyone's shields), and the lack of ammo ties you to a supply depot or limited nanohives.
Ammo limit is nothing when you have 4 proto nanohives (gauged).
Would love to try it but have to many things I need to spend my precious little SP on first. Unfortunate problem with this game, you pay dearly for trying new things, and mass drivers are probably not an issue until you have proficiency 3 with some ammo cap and rapid reload, which is 1-1.5m SP im not willing to invest in a weapon I know will get nerfed. |

The existence of proto nanohives should not excuse the power of a weapon, period. |
