I think that the Heavies totally deserve a weapon that is capable of long range destruction. (NOT A RR or CR). I thought that CCP should make an HMG that is a double barrel (side-by-side non-rotating) slow RoF with high accuracy as the barrels are slightly pushed backwards into the weapon to compensate for recoil. This weapon will have a similar but sleaker design than the bulky looking HMG most of us are used to. Picture with the barrel of two .50 caliber Brownings somewhat but more futureistic looking to fit the DUST theme. The RoF should be about 450 rpm firing as a projectile weapon with a 150 bullet magazine (box magazine maybe) and max ammo capacity is 800. With the slow RoF the damage should be about 40 damage within its optimal range of 75 meters with a max range of 150 meters at 30 damage at the lowest. Th accuracy rating as well should be pretty high as it should be about 70 maybe? I'm not too sure if the lower the number the better it is or the worse it is. Also the recoil handleing is relatively ok, and the heat build up is not too fast yet heats at a reasonable speed. That is the basic model, but the adv model should be the same RoF, same Range, slightly less recoil, slightly longer heat build up, maybe boost the damage to about 45 and the accuracy should stay the same. And for the prototype, same accuracy (maybe slightly better), same RoF, same Range, lesser recoil than the adv, even longer heat build up, maybe the damage is about 50. (Controversial??) No change to the ammo count. Just a rough idea I thought of this morning in my head. Maybe it could be something that can be considered by CCP possibly. If you don't like the idea go ahead and say it's stupid I don't care. Or if you got ideas to add or change go ahead and shout em out. Heavies could really use a long range weapon about now and instead of using railrifles. Remember this is a hip-fire only weapon, it's not a duplicate of a railrifle. But yes maybe some similar stats. |

Are you joking?
Do you not know what long range is? |

The Rail Rifle has an effective range of 102 meters actually and a max of 250 meters |

Now usually this means using the HMG to its full advantage in CQC. So why the hell would we need a long range variant of the HMG when most of us play by our role and defend?
Also if you want a long range heavy weapon try the Forge Gun.
Majority of the maps in dust favor longer ranges than what hmgs can provide. Have you ever attacked head on bro??? Doubt it from what you have said. I've been a heavy since the closed beta of dust. The assault hmgs aren't even close to long range hmgs. Plus this is just an IDEA so chill the **** out! Good luck on taking out enemies with forge guns. Totally logical and effective, I mean seriously.... NOT! |
