AR, snipers, Scrambler, and anything which requires precision without splash damage is skillful.....


Massdrivers, and flaylocks are not skillful..... WTF is so difficult to understand about that? splash damage vs on the mark hitting your targets, but for some reason some people believe MD and Flaylocks are skill based even though it has a blast radius.... Its like if i was saying Rocket launchers in halo are skillful weapons.... holy smokes. weapons are pretty appropriate right now, maybe the mass driver could use a distance nerf and thats all. And the railgun turret (small one) could use some actually buffing.

But as of right now I feel the weapons are in their appropriate places...

Either reduce the MDs Clip size or rate of fire. Or just increase it's fitting req so you can't use anything else.

You are aware that AR are in every Shooter in history right, as a matter of fact in real life too.... So how is a weapon which is the most commonly understood weapon be not skillful when everyone understand precision is key to skillful shooting...

Honestly the AR is not a skilled weapon. Its not as easy as a mass driver but its still not a skilled weapon. Sniper guns sure are but i wish they had to account for wind and bullet drop.

people talk about it being a skill weapon when it is in fact it is the least skilled weapon in the game. you simply point in general direction and fire and it will hit. have 4 or 5 of your squad with these and you can kill most mercs with 1 volley and the rest with 2 volleys. if the enemy are grouped within a MD radius which is quite large then they can wipe out entire squads in that 1-2 volleys. now that is OP.

AR doesn't require skill. Just hold R1 and swipe your hit-scan death beam across the enemy a few times ??? Profit!

With the MD you just have to hold R1... don't need to swipe across the enemy. Just shoot "anywhere" and something will die....

You need to lead shots way more with the MD and take the slow bullet travel time under consideration. Also, on a DPS basis the AR outclasses it hands down.

your an idiot, the bullets made contact with you body because i pointed it at your body.... while flaylock or MD i just gotta aim at your shoes and miss several times but you will still die....

im just going to throw something that has PS2 with what is skill and what is not skill.

I don't saying that the MD should be nerfed ...on the contrary... every game needs a "NooB Cannon", the MD fulfills that role very nicely.

Very interesting and somewhat rather enlightening. Did notice myself getting frustrated in the last few matches of the day. However all the tanks I lost in those matches were entirely my fault.

The AR doesn't require much more skill...it's not as if swiping over a red dot requires a lot of skill, not given the AR's ROF. The AR is just as much a noob tube as the MD.

Real skill weapon? Scrambler pistol!

At medium to long range the AR is infinitely easier to use. So calling the MD a noob tube while pretending the AR takes skill is hypocritical. It's just AR folk who want to pretend they're 'skillful".

Like I said, if you want to really say you're skillful, use the scrambler pistol or nova knife...THOSE are TRUE skill weapon.

PS: I can use both the AR/MD, to me they're both the same in terms of skill...albeit at different ranges.

No need for precision, just swipe away! It's so easy mode even the basic starter suits come with it fitted. I'm ashamed of myself whenever I got from my scrambler pistol doing about 12/0 and pick up the easy-I-WIN-button AR and knock out a 22 kdr. It's so easymode even YOU can use it :D

Top Two Skill weapons
Scram Pistol (my main)
Nova Knife

Lowest Two Skill Weapons
AR
Mass Driver

I base this off the fact that they take the least amount of investment to bring solid returns.

"you simply point in the general direction and fire and it will hit"

So does that make every gun in this game "the least skilled weapon". Give me an example of a weapon in this game where you wont hit the person if you "simply point in the general direction and fire"
