As a dedicated masshole, I'm very happy that they reconsider the Min Assault bonus!
A huge clip would get the MD nerfed again faster than you can empty said clip.
Constant explosive barrages are no fun, and the small amount of ammo in the clip is one of the major things that balance the MD.
The Min Assault should either get a rate of fire buff for explosive weapons (higher alpha damage), or a bigger ammo pool (the current amount of ammunition carried for the MD is very small).
Alternatively I would like to see a DIRECT damage increse, which would help in certain situations (defend doorways against incoming forces). This would also reward careful aligning of shots instead of spamming all over the place.
cheers

How foolish are Dust514 players.....
Considering how powerful everything else is the MD needs buffing
A huge clip is in no way a buff as unless you are camping you'l
be dead before you get half a clip out....
I think the expanded clipsize is cool, but really un-necessary
You are right and wrong at the same time...
The bigger clip wouldn't help against anyone with good gungame, since you would still go down before you get two shots on the target.
A bigger clip would however increase the spamming of the MD which is bad in any case!
If the MD needs anything, it's higher alpha damage if you can hit the target directly.
But it needs the gaps in the barrage, to give opponents the possibillity of a counterattack.
Right now, I can 3-6 shot a medium suit, if i put loads of damage mods on an EXO-5. If the medium suit is tanked and keeps calm, he'll shoot me before that. If he's proto with proto weapon, I'm lucky if I get two rounds out before I die. So higher alpha is what the MD needs, and the buff to damage is a step in the right direction.
A bigger clip however is not, since it doesn't give higher alpha, nor helps with the pathetic amount of ammo the MD brings with it. To profit from a bigger clip, you need to stay in cover and blindly spam MD rounds, with a hive at your feet. If you want that go with a bigger clip!
