So from what I read hmg's range is at fifty... why? The ar is at a lower or same range right?
And even if its not why 50? Aren't hmg's close range high dmg weapons?
But I could be wrong.

52.5 actually, but that's just the effective. Optimal is like 30 something.

Their optimal is roughly 30m, and I think the Assault HMGs was 40m but wasnt that changed? At 50m it really doesnt affect you (like a RR at 110m)
I will be the only player to Prototype every single god damn weapon before Dust dies. 3 to go.

it is probably effective range at 50m. (30% dmg at 50m) and 100% dmg at roughly 35m (optimal range).
What was your total dmg received from HMG player? It should have told you in the kill screen.
Perhaps you had a second person firing at you. |

The effective range of the HMG goes out to 50m or so. With the huge DPS that it has it's not exactly unlikely that you'll get killed at 50m by it.
You have long since made your choice. What you make now is a mistake.

what's your fit? That'll give us a better idea what happened. If it was an assault HMG those are lower DPS, longer range, effective out to around 60 with an optimal of about 40.
It would also help to know what the guy who killed you was wearing, but... Unless they post here, we'll never know

The DPS falloff past 40 generally means a calm and skilled rifle user can beat you in a duel UNLESS he does the most tryhard stupid maneuver ever and runs forward right at the fatty. |

Regardless, it's entirely possible for the HMG to get kills at ranges up to 50m.
And apparently this guy got killed at 45m, so.

that is what "effective range" means Arkena. This is not a hard concept. Getting kills past 30 is harder, not impossible, especially if you're patient, opportunistic and watching to pick off wounded and stragglers.
However the downside to this is Assaults can back up shooting faster than sentinels can advance, shooting. Rifles out-DPS HMGs anywhere from 35-40 because of dispersion and the fact that you no longer fill the circle in addition to the reduction in damage-per-round.
Hence, at 45m, smart assaults win, Tunnel vision fatties die. |
