No sir. For every tool there must be a hard counter. The hard counter to the burst HMG attacking your sentinel is to put down the rep tool and killing the burster with your rifle before he gets into optimal or assisting your heavy in focusing fire to kill him.

Tactics trump equipment. Equipment trumps specific equipment but the unstoppable rep heavy has three hard counters. Shotguns, nova knives and the burst HMG are intended for cracking holes in solid defenses. There is no universe where the logi sentinel duo always wins is good meta for the game.

Loltactics,what is so "tactical" about spraying as many bullets as you can?

Sniper rifles are tactical,having to decide who to shoot so you can get a kill and remain hidden.

You're saying the only effective way to support in that situation wouldn't be to use equipment,which the suit should accel in,but to use its weapon?
Lolno,maybe the buff logistics needs based on that comment is the ability to straight up negate burst damage.

Trying to "prevent a killer bee uprising" and all...
Because if my equipment is inefficient enough not to do what my suit is supposed to be OP at,that i must resort to using my weapon,that is horribly wrong...unless your intention is to bring killer bees back.

It's becoming less and less worth it to use a rep tool,short range,bad suit stats to match that range,low rep amount so i can't keep my only defense alive against a basic RR.

BTW,You forgot REs,vehicles,road kill,grenades that kill the logi,MD.

Dust has become "Spray and pray" 514,and bursts are another proof of that.

Oh,and good logis don't just rep heavies they rep anyone that is injured.
My particular example was referring to an assault.

Unlessyou pick a fight with another fatty the calsent is phenomenal.

After some testing last night and feedback from you guys, we're going to drop the Fire Interval/Burst Interval change for now (this means that the heat per second will also drop by about half, but it will still be the same number of rounds to overheat).

We've also been playing with the dispersion a bit, mostly around increasing the max dispersion and min dispersion, and decreasing the accuracy gain per shot. I know several people have called for the range to be decreased, but I would prefer to try and make it work via dispersion or possibly kick instead rather than just straight nerfing range. Swapping from inverse to normal dispersion is on the table for the burst, but it does mean that it doesn't behave consistently with one of the defining traits of the HMG which makes me a little apprehensive about it.

I have yet to meet a logi rep chain on an assault that couldnt be utterly destroyed with a standard HMG, mass driver or rifle at appropriate range.

Its the sentinel chain that needs a burst, shotgun or "kill the logi" first.

And I absolutely agree. My few rep tool suits all wind up repping any nearby blueberries because I like cannon fodder.

Commandos are never expected to be reppers. I tend to rep the logis first.
