Ones that doesn't involve nerfing the weapon until it shoots explosive marshmallows!
So, what if grenades had to travel a certain distance before exploding? Similar to 40mm grenades IRL. They'll still do damage if they hit a target, but they won't detonate.
And another idea would involve a variant that functions similar to the grenade launcher in Quake. Grenades bounce off walls until they either explode or hit someone.
Thoughts? |

Minimal arming distance takes the risk vs reward out of using the MD since it's a self killing weapon to begin with. It already takrs 4+ rounds to kill someone.
Make the rounds arc more like in Chromosome and buff the breach's RoF to match the standard at the possible cost of reload speed. MD works as intended as an area denial weapon but underperforms compared to automatic weapons since the 1.4 patch.

The mass driver will be fine when it, and all the other explosive weapons, deal only the +20% damage to armor that they are supposed to deal and not the +35% or more that we currently get.

Quoth the raven, "why do explosives do 15% extra ******* damage to armor than they're supposed to? this is BS"

What suit and what MD? I can OHK with a core breach at prof 5, but usually needs damage mods and a head shot.

Thanks for the info Cosgar, I was wondering at what level that MD was going to become a OHK weapon, apparently it is not.

Ugh, here we go again.
Please try to play with the MD in current build and tell again that it is overpowered....

Thought it might be nice to bounce grenades around corners.
Evidently everyone thinks this is another "NERF MD THREAD OMG."

Just another useless weapon.
Shouldn't the massdriver have similar damage and splash as locus nades?
No, that would just be too logical and even if the MD operators killed themself 5 times on average each battle, it would still upset the AR users too much. |

I reckon we need something more useful that a scope. Personally I'd like a laser pointer on top of my MD, which shows the distance on a little screen on the side/top of my MD. That would be hot.

Swap-able ammo.....I'm talking smoke rounds, flux rounds, AV rounds (ya I went there) and of course the standard round.
