DUST Search - Most Overpowered Weapon In History?

In terms of handheld weaponry compared to others of the same period...probably the AR before they gave it a proper ADS

When you just had the camera ADS/scope, you could just point the dot on the enemy player and watch them die. Compared to every other weapon at the time, it was the most OP because of this feature, and the lack of kick while ADS.

Most OP weapon of all time compared to every other OP weapon had to be the RR. I was going to agree with the Viziam 20 damage laser, but the RR was able to camp just like a sniper from long distances away and take out entire teams while being completely safe. Unlike the laser, you can't tell where the RR is shooting you from easily, and I never saw players get 50, 60, and 70 kill matches with the laser consistently like they did with the RR.

Most OP method of killing was the dropship small missile buff or Logi LAVs at close second. I only once saw someone get 120+ kills in a 150 clone skirmish before...and that was when small missiles were insane. Logi LAVs didn't get as many kills, but it was the fact that you could be killed by one at less than 5 mph that made it OP

But I'm suprised no one mentioned it yet...
Light poles

I wasn't here for them, but from what I've heard, they were the most OP thing ever.

Goat of Dover Kang Lo Directorate Gallente Federation 229	Posted - 2014.06.21 13:26:00 - [33] - Quote Handheld weapon I experienced was by far the Viziam LR. I took a break during the RR real hayday. I also came to the game right after the Dumb SL. Agree with most though nastiest kiling device this game ever saw was by far the DS packing missiles one side the larger blast radius the other one carried the low ROF hight damage(sorry cant remember the names of them now). That thing was awful unlimited range no dispersion great splash damage probably close to 6 meters. That thing was death and it out ran swarms without a after burner you just had to make large circles. I loved that thing.

Also, the most consistently OP weapon in the game is the drunk, invincible, OHK, insta-splosion inducing RDV's. Good luck flying after one of those invisible monsters spawns in immediately in front of you.

Xocoyol Zaraoul Superior Genetics 2054	Posted - 2014.06.21 19:02:00 - [41] - Quote God Damn lightpoles in high-speed HAV or LAV chases, those were insane... Also back in the day, the most deadly weapon ever was a proto Breach AR, still more powerful then when the RR and CRs were released. The old Breach VS the old targets just wrecked face, more so then any other weapon and timeframe I can remember. The old TAC AR and the old flaylocks get an honorable mention imo.
