I haven't played Dust in about 4 months. But I decided to come back and check things out. It seems like the laser rifle is pretty useless now. It used to do some damage. Now it just makes a pretty light. Somebody told me nobody uses them any more. Is that true? If so, then wtf? |

No one uses them anymore
After Uprisings release the forums were a bad place, I'll never forget how CCP screwed up so badly.

There's apparently a buff in 1.8.

It wasn't nerfed recently, its just that the rail rifle has made it obsolete. It will be buffed in 1.8 however, same with the mass driver. The rail rifle, combat rifle, and maybe some other weapons are also being nerfed as part of an effort to increase time-to-kill. 1.8 will also change up a lot of suit bonuses, add all missing racial dropsuits (Caldari heavy and light, Minmatar heavy, Gallente heavy, Amarr light), ad 3 new sidearms. Should be out sometime in March.

Yes, at the moment they need some love. Which is why there is a buff in 1.8 for Laser Rifles.

Where can we find all this Buff/Nerf info?
I log into the forums everyday just about and don't find them.
Although that might be because I log in to only find people moaning and complaining EVERYDAY about EVERYTHING, ( see, I even just did it), Then I log out with No interest in logging in to actually PLAY the game.

Laser Rifle useless? It's never been useless and it can actually compete with rail rifles I do it all the time. And it's not as situational as people might think it is once you know what your doing with the gun you easily use it just about anywhere.

Confirmed logis can make anything work.
However if you need a logi to use a support weapon, maybe something is fundamentally wrong with the game.

When sarcasm gets more info than people who actually want information out of CCP, something is clearly messed up in this place.
Thanks for the info though, better than nothing or telling people to wait on some imaginary dev blog.

Glad I have that Templar LR BPO, I may have to just face it that I love most things Amarr, I disgust myself.

As with all weapons, it has been utterly overshadowed by the Rail Rifle. However the Laser's optimum is also the Rail Rifle's. So it got extra screwed.
It's still a good weapon really. There's just another weapon that does everything it does better.
No.

I agree, right now the rails rifles are the jackass of all trades and all the beta weapons right now are overshadowed by the new rifles, plasma is supposed to dominate at close range but I would rather see an AR than a rail rifle at close range right now.
