Hakyou Brutor G0DS AM0NG MEN D.E.F.I.A.N.C.E 93	Posted - 2014.03.09 16:53:00 - [1] - Quote Are they getting a damage decrease too? Right now the HMG is perfect, and I mean absolutely perfect, but with all the rifles getting a damage nerf will HMGs also be getting a reduction? If they don't this game will be so imbalanced... I have a proto heavy alt, and man, he rips people up... if they dont change it this game will become HMG514. G0DS AM0NG MEN Director - Fully Support a Respec for 1.8

Leadfoot10 Molon Labe. General Tso's Alliance 699	Posted - 2014.03.09 16:56:00 - [3] - Quote No nerf for HMG means a bit of a relative buff against the assault weapons which are getting nerfed. That said, every single heavy I know is running damage mods which are getting hit pretty hard, so there's that.

Won't be as easy as you think. HMGs are not getting a damage nerf, which I believe is a problem, but we'll see how big of one soon enough. Leadfoot10 is right that most HMG users rely on damage mods now, which could be seen as an indirect nerf.

HoweverI believe that the damage mod Nerf is enough to keep hmgs balanced since heavies/sentinels had no other reasonable mod to put in their high slots.

I mean, even the AR can outrange them pretty bad.

Just like tanks! Their so balanced right? Right? Because you wanted to be something you're not.

castba Penguin's March 337	Posted - 2014.03.14 00:16:00 - [22] - Quote Hmg will be a bit less effective due to the nerf to damage mods. Luckily for rifle users, their weapons will still allow them to sit back and laugh while their fat target tries to speed waddle to get into effective range (or hide).
Kaughst Nyain San Renegade Alliance 288	Posted - 2014.03.14 00:17:00 - [23] - Quote Well technically the prof is getting nerfed on all the weapons that includes the HMG, all the other suits just have to worry about the massive HP they will all have. "That is not how you say my name." "How do you say your name?" "I don't know but that is not how you say it."
