I guess it takes a lot of skill to use it. Not an easy weapon to master. Puts people off, puts me off. |

It's a good weapon, it's all I use with my amarr commando, albeit it's a bit situational, but with the proper fitting and tactics, I can hit targets in virtually all ranges with a ScR LR combo on my commando

I don't know why people don't use it as much as other weapons, since the buff, it got increased range( I think) and better damage up close, I can't tell you how many times I almost get Insta killed when I get in range of one of them. |

I quite enjoy using it but I don't play that often and I use the SCR a great deal as well.

It's not versatile, just devastating.
All other rifles balance the two, and all other weapons fulfil a specific role.
Nothing in this game ever made me feel so powerful as cutting through a proto squad in a single beam.
Flanking moves with that rifle win games.

I got hate mail from maphia after torching their CEOs proto suit 7+ times the other day. Two orbitals were dropped on me and I still went 17/6 with only 4 suits lost.

now your dealing half damage down to 33m..i think is at like 40 something efficacy at 22m
so dmg drop off lowered base dmg raised dmg multiplier raised range profile raised. |

My only problem with the LR is the damn aiming mechanics.
The best I can do beyond 80, 90 meters is to sweep my aim back and forth, a little in front and then a little behind of my target because it's near impossible to make the fine adjustments needed at such ranges. Also, aim assist doesn't do jack sh*t. It's more like aim annoyance because it always seems to track people in groups which I'm not shooting at, so I'm left with a nearly overheated rifle that needs reloading and a bunch of people that have huge chunks of health missing.
I can aim well under 80 meters, but then that's RR territory and those things hurt tremendously. They even hurt all the way beyond 90 meters, damn! Then you also got combat rifles and scrambler rifles that can push their hurt out to beyond 70 meters. And while those weapons experience no damage dropoff at close range, the laser rifle does.
So while the laser rifle gets an extra 20 or 30 meters of optimal above other weapons, it dearly pays the price of having horrible aiming mechanics and damage falloff at close range which no other weapon has.

whenever you encounter a rr ona armor type suit...in your range profile...1 you should already be beside cover or your a scrub for not moving from cover to cover..
assuming you are not said scrub..look at you enemy non aiming duck behind cover and come out of it firing as in shoot your beam at your cover and strafe out of cover and focus on your enemy..also ide like to point i do not aim much..small tiny angle adjustments..i aim with my strafing when i run lr,,..if your running aa..when you come out of cover firing hit aim and it should pop and hold a tiny bit to your target..not cod style..but its helpfull if your trying to get used to it..this is the advice i give people who run in my lr squads if your enemy is slightly to the right dont try and move the beam over with your arms..just strafe a lil bit to the right..this is how i headshot people from 100m away when they are barely visible behind cover..i strafe the beam to their head..as in ill fire and get as close as i can to where they are and then ill just back up a bit..and bam headshot |

There's one or two more LRs around than you are giving credit for to be honest. I would say the mass driver is probably the least commonly seen weapon (barring this weekend for the event) its close though I think.
Now if we are talking sidearms as well, the ion pistol and flaylock pistol are pretty rare.

I love the ScR and use it 95% of the time. But as a scout, I am always running around and in cqc situations so the LR will not work good for my game style.
However, I did just recently start specing into amarr commando so I might give the LR another try.
Gun control is not about guns...it's about control.
The only way to ensure freedom is by having the means to defend it.

Morte again shows his knowledge.
Pre-heating is a mechanism that is again situation ally effective. Sometimes I pre-heat will tear a suit apart and others its better to be applying damage throughout the duration of the lasers beam.
Additionally the way you engage a foe depends on your suit type and as I use the Commando I like to be damaging them for most of the latter duration of my beam.

running the amar assault that last 20 rounds can ammount to a few kills all on its own..for example your firing ona heavy you killed him you see a guy maybe 30m to his right still firing you swing your beam on him..(your now in your last rounds on the assault) the beam touchs him bam hes dead i almost always get a kill in the first 60 rounds of my beam and i always get a kill in the last 20..
at max ive squeezed 9 kills into a single beam post 1.7 |
