Advice from a former HMG heavy in Chromosome, when heavies were much weaker than they are now.

-Try to keep the majority of the target within the aiming reticle circle.

-Start firing before you actually have a line of sight on your target. This allows your stream of bullets to concentrate to killing efficiency when you engage your enemy instead of having to wait when you engage.

-Don't listen to idiots who say strafing is pointless for heavies. ALWAYS STRAFE! Strafe with the primary goal of tracking your target. Your secondary goal should be to avoid enemy fire.

-Cover is your friend and worst enemy. Don't rely on your EHP to keep you alive, use cover. When an enemy uses cover, a portion of their body is protected and reduces your HMG's killing power.

-The Gallente logi-LAV not only mitigates a heavy's poor mobility, but also provides an armor rep.

I thought everybody knew this. I would have at least thought that anybody that had HMG'S past standard would have known this.

This is why I never understood how people could call the HMG inaccurate. Anyways, keep crouching and keep aiming down the sights.

Peace,

TTK in 1.6 is terrible. I hate having my 1.5k hp suit drop in an instant to a Duvolle

Hey guys.

We've had a look at this video and it's pretty cool. Great work pulling it together. :) Love getting this kind of feedback.

We're having a look in to the situation with HMG spread and will keep you posted, mmmmkay.

I'm not sure that increasing spread per se is the correct solution, as this will make the weapon even less effective at mid range . Rather just make the area that hits larger, to reflect the fact this is a multi-barrel weapon. To illustrate:

Current situation of laser beam-like fire looks like this:
--- (which is crap close up)

Increased spread would look like this:
< (which is crap at range)

Increased hit area would look like this:
---
--- (where the two lines represent the top and bottom barrel, and anything between them at any range gets hit)

(Ugh, 5 quote limit )
We'll I don't know what to say. I've tested it and it has spread only while moving. If you don't believe me that's fine.

Have you tested spread while moving? If not then don't bother talking.

I tested it moving forward and backwards so the small dot never touched the enemy but I still killed him

You know, we've been killing with this terrible weapon for a long time now.

I think we're basically the best players in Dust and everyone should send us 100 mil.

I think they might have either forgotten or don't have any new that will appease the community. In the latter I think they are playing it smart because if they say the wrong thing heavies will riot
