It's an EXPLOSIVE weapons, so yeah, it should do that much damage to armor. It does less against shields, so there's a good trade off.

Yeah, for MD users. Armor tankers get the short stic. It's harder for Armor tankers to avoid because of the speed penalties and when hit they get dealt A TON of damage. Shield users can avoid them a lot more eloquently and when hit they get dealt a lot less damage.

I just think that Armor tankers are too heavily penalized.

Shield tankers could make the same argument when I hit them with my scrambler pistol. All suits have counters and weak spots.

I ponder you variable queries; does a scrambler pistol damage one behind defenses, does a scrambler bolt do damage when it misses it's target, can it kill multiple with one bolt.

There are no question marks, because there is nothing to question about them; a scrambler pistol has none of these advantages that the Mass Driver brings forth. These truths, I reveal to you.

There are no question marks, because there is nothing to question about them; a scrambler pistol has none of these advantages that the Mass Driver brings forth. These truths, I reveal to you. 1) A MD doesn't hit you if you take cover. 2) No, a scrambler doesn't do damage if you miss...but it does more when you hit. 3) No, a scrambler can't kill more than 1 people with one bullet...but neither can a MD. An MD does more damage to armor than I do...but I do more damage with a direct headshot hit. He on the other hand does more if he misses thanks to splash damage. I can shoot faster than a MD. In short, there are enough disadvantages to make the mass driver balanced. Learn to counter it.
