Viktor Hadah Jr Critical-Impact 2684	Posted - 2014.02.17 07:05:00 - [1] - Quote Am i missing something or is it completely useless when compared to the regular variant? Templar BPO(325Mil) EVE Pilot I feed off your tears
Ulme Mees Rautaleijona Top Men. 121	Posted - 2014.02.17 07:12:00 - [2] - Quote It has more range! Fear is a disease!
Awry Barux New Eden Blades Of The Azure Zero-Day 733	Posted - 2014.02.17 07:17:00 - [3] - Quote It had a purpose back in the days of lazerHMG, but otherwise, I'm inclined to agree that it's useless.

calvin b Ostrakon Agency Gallente Federation 1490	Posted - 2014.02.17 08:03:00 - [5] - Quote It has more range but not by much it is worthless as much as the burst. I laugh when a burst user tries to take on multiple targets, they die because it overheats and it jams to easily. I use the basic HMG but I also have my stats near maxed, so when you see a basic Dren dropping proto heavies do not be surprised, it is the player not the suit that makes the game. So go no higher than the advance model and you should be fine. Just play like all the heavies I have trained, fear no one and when you are facing someone try and ram your HMG up their ass. The worse that may happen is you die, your fellow team members will mop up the rest. Just be the anchor in the sea of madness and know your the baddest Mother F***** on the planet A heavy before 1.8
Cat Merc Ahrendee Mercenaries EoN. 6577	Posted - 2014.02.17 08:15:00 - [6] - Quote Burst HMG needs a longer burst and slightly reduced overheat. Assault HMG needs slightly more DPS. Shield regeneration bonus for Gallente Assault is about as useful as Sharpshooter for Nova Knives. Tuna > Tacos
I-Shayz-I I-----I 2334	Posted - 2014.02.17 08:33:00 - [7] - Quote Assault has about the same range as an Assault Rifle. However, at longer ranges the spread makes that extra range almost useless. Links: List of Most Important Threads I make logistics videos!
Nocturnal Soul Fatal Absolution General Tso's Alliance 1998	Posted - 2014.02.17 08:35:00 - [8] - Quote It just tickles you a bit more from range. "But we have been blessed"
NEO Arbiter Red Hand Syndicate 22	Posted - 2014.02.17 08:40:00 - [9] - Quote Picking the Assault HMG over the other variants is a Darwin Award, those who pick it die out quickly and change their ways ha ha. Tears4Life

The weapon is so devastating in it's current state I'm more on the fence to say the damn thing is OP. Thank god it's range is no better then stone throwing. One tap most infantry are dead, two for a heavy. But it does require a lot of skill in tracking if you plan to use it against more then 1 person.

The ease with which you can get overwhelmed when using it is the reason it isn't overpowered. But if it's only a few targets that things beastly. Firing in to crowds with it is also fun. Running a blaster tank in ambush is like bringing Anthrax to a pillow fight.

Pick your engagements carefully and you can wipe out entire squads without reloading or overheating Six kin>boundless imho Real heavies use lasers

Why is CCP trying to keep this a secret looking from in-game stats no one would have ever known... Maybe showing info would tell you "The assault variant of the HMG has more range". *Assassination is my thing.*

One tap most infantry are dead, two for a heavy. But it does require a lot of skill in tracking if you plan to use it against more then 1 person. From my experience, it's just short of being a viable weapon. Increasing it's burst from 50 to 60, and reducing the overheat so the burst increase won't cause to overheat faster is all I'm asking for. Shield regeneration bonus for Gallente Assault is about as useful as Sharpshooter for Nova Knives. Tuna > Tacos
Himiko Kuronaga Fatal Absolution General Tso's Alliance 2982	Posted - 2014.02.17 13:12:00 - [16] - Quote Burst HMG -- difficult to use, but has use. Assault HMG -- entirely worthless.
Snakeson Theairplane Amarr Templars Amarr Empire 2	Posted - 2014.02.17 13:47:00 - [17] - Quote In PC you'll find most of the good heavies use six kin over boundless. You'll win up to two engagements before being taken out if you know your positionings well - while a boundless a 1v1 confrontation with a CR user can be rough. Since you're going to lose range fights regardless anyways - it just seems smarter to use Six Kin for higher DPS. If you don't just tap away the heat build up isn't that bad, just don't rush in as if it was a boundless.

Yeah but there's not a range stat, and it doesn't say how much the range is increased by lol Links: List of Most Important Threads I make logistics videos!
Rynoceros Rise Of Old Dudes 2576	Posted - 2014.02.17 16:07:00 - [20] - Quote If I'm on a map with few interiors (Manus Peak), the Assault on a KinCat tanked Sentinel is pretty awesome. The range improvement is very noticeable and if you dealt with the laser-accurate HMG era, then hitting and eliminating your targets isn't a big deal. *The MO-4 Assault is not worth the price. Don't bother. There was a range stat at one point, I assume it was removed about the same time that they removed your fitting's scan fidelity - which are probably the most relevant stats right now.

Summ Dude Direct Action Resources 239	Posted - 2014.02.17 16:49:00 - [23] - Quote The Assault has (I believe) 10 extra meters for it's optimal. But with the exact same spread as the standard HMG, that extra range means squat. I think just tightening the dispersion would make the Assault more viable. Not just a laymen, but the laymen. Winn Summ and lose Summ.
