is a crowd control weapon, working as intended, not everything that's not the ar is meant to shoot beebees out of the barrel you know

Please tell me how the MD needs to be nerfed. It seems perfectly balanced to me

• Slow Travel Time
• Small Blast radius until upgraded to level 5
• Half a clip to kill a starter fit (unless using damage mods and/or prof. skills)
• Really low ammo (18 rounds total)
• Does jack all against shield tankers without flux grenades
• Terrible ADS
• Ability to be buttplugged by SCR and AR users before first shot even travels to the target (in mid range combat)
• Awful weapon when forced to aim up or in terrain obsticals such as hills and mountains)
• Only effective against scouts and armor tankers

This thread is disused as a QQ thread

A no skill scrub weapon? You are an ASSault that uses ASSault Rifles?

Try aiming up with the weapon and get back to me on that one.

PS: Obvious troll is obvious

Exactly. Just because it is not an AR doesn't mean that it needs to be weak.

If Mass Drivers are so OP in your opinion then stop staking armor plates just use shield extenders.

It is designed to be super effective against armor, so it's gonna be super effective against armor, that's just it doing its job

(This is directed at OP, not you)

It's not a QQ thread! Iv rather enjoyed using it!

AR is way over powered. For example, I'm a logi MD user. But today I went to pick up an AR. I invested a total of around 12k SP. Really no that much, it's about 6 hours passive.

First game I go 15/5 Second game I go 33/4!

Q: I have literally just picked the thing up, I have NO skill in using this crap so why am I so good at it? Why am I getting all of these kills?

A: Range defiantly is the problem. 60m effective range (2/3 of an American football fiield(with no kick people!) And this is the standard weapon btw, it only go's up from here on, and the main skill for the weapon decreases kick by 5% per level too!

With this sort of range you don't need worry about body shots, you don't have to worry about seeing the enemy, honestly, I killed 2 people by accident. The only thing you have to worry about is aiming, but turn on aim-assist and your sorted.

So in summery, it takes no skill and barely any SP. A good weapon of choice for anyone coming out of the academy!

But seriously CCP, it needs a nerf, or everything else needs a buff.

Your argument can be made for any other weapon.

For Example: Change the MD and put Forge Gun. The militia forge gun can insta-kill anyone in one hit. EVERY TIME. Let's just make you have to put 600k SP into a skill just to be able to use the militia FG.

No need to read the rest of what you feel would "balance" the MD, or any niche weapon you decided to QQ about by not QQing about it. Let me explain how this kind of mentality has ruined Dust 514. I remember earlier builds where scouts, while being paper thin were strafing gods, able to leap around acrobatically, chipping away at you- NERFED! Heavies used to flat out outgun anyone dumb enough to face them head on- NERFED! Tanks could wreck an entire map if nobody on the opposing end had any AV above MLT swarms- NERFED! See where I'm going with this?

MD already got a radius and damage nerf compared to Chromosome. Hell, it just got scaled down. The Freedom, Boundless, and Core are the EX0-5, EC-3, and EK-A2 of last build, with a radius nerf tacked on. You just won't be satisfied until it fires confetti.

Did you test this with your main, or on an alt pubstomping academy users? Also curious if you can regularly replicate this.

Either way it just might be your natural playstyle, as most people do not have that 30+ score in matches with the MD

Play a couple matches, get kills, instantly posts thread about weapon being OP.
Seriously though OP, you're a scrub, if you've got a duvolle with 3mil SP in it and you do better with a STD MD, its because you can't aim.
The ONLY reason you could ever go 30+kills with a STD MD is because the enemies using garbage fits, try bringing a STD MD up against proto suits and lemme see you post a score again. theres a big difference between 3-4 shotting scrubs in starter fits and trying to put MORE than an entire 6 shot magazine into a good player in proto suit whose got a duvolle and melts you in half a second.
Fuck1ng scrubs making garbage ignorant threads.
