There are a few support weapons in dust not truly ment to kill but to suppress and support the frontline, although they are abused by twats with damage mods, what are your views of these weapons and their preformance?(without the bonus of damage mods mind you)
MD
LR
PLC ( )
And so on and so forth.

currently dmg modding lr is the only way to to run it especially when scrambler rifle trumps it in its own optimum ranges...in 1.7 with ar and scrm getting buffed lr may become useless
toss all sidearms into that list as support weapons ..they are al tek support weapons
oh and md should be support but its not
That bit I underlined just now, that's the problem I see with many suppressive weapons.
The LR, no any weapon, should not require anything to be able to do it's job.
The damage mods are kept in mind when balancing these weapons to the point that they are borderline weak without them, that is ******* wrong.

I think the Mass Driver is about the only real suppressive weapon. In the majority of engagements the Mass Driver user is going to lose against other weapons. I think it's a testament to its effectiveness as a suppressive weapon that people think its over powered. As one of the few indirect fire weapons it does have a niche in clearing out people that are behind cover.
To each their own opinion sir.
I fully disagree, the damage mod spam is so bad that weapons are balenced around the presumption that they'll be used, if this was a tactical strategy based shooter then I'd agree but as of now it's nothing more than a twitch based COD clone where the guy with the biggest gun win so if you are using damage mods (speaking about players in general not you directly) you're part of the problem.
