Stop crying if you get forged get a sniper rifle done. We heavies have 2 weapons leave us alone.

Hilarious that people talk about there's no honor in being a mercenary

But wants honorable war tactics to be used instead of cheap ones.

lol this is big boy talk. come back when you have experienced PC and having 4 forge guns rain down hell on you, and there is nothing you can do to remove them as there are some towers in this game that orbitals don't hit the tops of.

The forge gun was never meant to be an anti infantry weapon, just like the flaylock was never meant to replace your main weapon.

How exactly do you just get rid of roofs? No dropships, ladders or stairs? You are asking for a bit (a lot) too much. Also, it is fine when a Laser Rifle user goes on a roof.

In what world do you live in where rooftop forge gunners are considered "New" they have been around for good amount of time now.

Getting rid of rooftops entirely would make a lot of the matches pretty stale. Having to dodge FG fire is pretty fun IMO. You're like, "Oh ****! A FG!" Then you start hopping around like a blind monkey.

It's just another part of the risk/reward thing CCP has made.

But I do agree, there should be other ways to the top of a tower.

Sniper don't do **** to good Forge Gunners (unless it's a Thale's) so that's no use. As a secondary Forge Gunner myself, I sometimes even get shot at by 3-4 snipers all at once

There should also be more incentives to use a Breach FG against Vehicles vs an Assault FG against Vehicles. Maybe reduced damage with an increased blast radius? (Also, reduce the splash damage for that idea...)

You get rid of roofs the same way all other games do. Make a zone ceiling that prevents the drop ship from getting high enough to drop people on a roof. either that or make the roofs so ungodly high up that a forge gun shot cant reach the ground level before fizzling out. It really a simple fix to add a ceiling to the zones.

Ha. No. We had low flight ceilings, nobody liked them. I have a better solution, add ladders to the tall towers.

You want to play a game where you can't go on a roof at all because its "not fair", COD Ghosts should be out pretty soon.

I agree with a lot of that. We were inaccurately accused by your corp of rooftop camping. We hate it, I mean you have to do it now or you might as well not be in PC at all.

It seems like the cheapest tactic in Dust history. I've seen a corp I won't mention put a LLAV up there that shield and armor reps making the FGer nearly invincible. Not to mention despite us using an ADS with a MCRU they were already on the roof with remotes set up waiting. When our ADS landed, they popped it with the remotes.

Back when flaylock pistols first came out everyone used them. They were the go to weapon. Some people even ran suits with dual flaylocks.

Now there is a new tactic of choice. Rooftop forgeguns. They need to go. rooftops period need to go. no roof snipers, no roof forge guns, no roof lasers. the roofs of every map have become worse then the old manus peak map with its giant mountain. At least with the mountain you could get up there. You cant get up on the towers to take them down because the only way to get up there is via dropship and with rooftop forgers you aren't getting anywhere close to them.

Even the "supposedly" best corps in the game cant win without them (I'm looking at you Ancient Exiles). There are two ways to fix this. The first is to remove the towers all together. This would make all unit fight on ground level or get up in the mountain areas where someone could still technically chase you down on foot. The other option is to change forge guns. There are also 2 ways to fix forge guns. The first is to remove the splash damage entirely. The other is to make it like the swarm launcher. Only effective against vehicles. Change it completely to where it is a charged shot that scrambles electronics making it 100% ineffective against infantry.

The forge gun was never meant to be an anti infantry weapon, just like the flaylock was never meant to replace your main weapon.

Just another average thread about nerfing something so you don't die by it. War isn't fair! PC rewards people who are organised. If the other teams organisation allows them to get control of a vantage point then maybe your team needs to get better?

A heavy on the roof with a forge gun.. Oh my!!!!

I did figure out a new equipment that could be useful against such BS tactics. Drone equipment.

Drone is launched from the suit where you take control of it. then you fly it using fighter jet controls, not the ******** dropship controls, and it can shoot missiles. Standard has 1 missile, advanced has 2 an proto has 3. missiles do all the same damage from level to level but they are more accurate then the turret missiles and hit like grenades with a splash radius similar to core locus grenades. They are also as small as infantry making them hard to hit with forges. The drawback would be that you lose control of your dropsuit so if someone sneaks up on you then you are going to lose control of the drone
