The mass driver is broken in pubs. I normally don-¦t bother to talk about op things in Dust but this is above that. Explosive weapons like the MD are just silly when the user can stand in his/her footprints and blast at everything up close without getting hurt. Makes the game cheap.

I-¦ve always loved dust because it-¦s a game where one needs skills to survive. Lately I-¦ve had a feeling this is fading away.

cant tell if troll....

MDs Blast Radius too high, people cry
MDs Blast Radius too low, people cry

The blast radius is fine as long as you die with me when you shoot up close. This is why the MD works fine in FW. If you don-¦t there should be no blast radius because the weapon should not be included in the game.

Do your research. You can most definitely kill yourself with it in pubs

See what happens when 50% of games are train station map, MD nerf thread

True but now with jump mods all a scout or assault has to do is jump up to the ledge with a remote and bye bye mass driver.

As a big fan and probably the best MD user in Dust, (cough) all I can do is laugh at your silly little OP.

I die very often to my own MD, on many maps its a terrible weapon to use and is really only viable as a supporting tool if you're in a squad of good rifle users.

Its definitely the hardest anti-personnel light weapon to use in the game. At least at a level where you dominate the same way you can with a rifle. Its a specialist sort of weapon for specific situations, and its in a very good place right now, far from OP yet still viable in the right hands/situations.

I see people with rifles going 30-2. all the time, many times a day, I do it myself too, but I am never close to rack up the same sort of numbers with my MD.

If its really OP as you seem to claim, use it and see how good you're doing, my bet is that you will be back to using a rifle pretty soon.

Longest time to kill of any weapon in the game, sidearms included, if you're up against anything but the most thinly tanked suits. Shortest time to running out of ammunition of any weapon in the game. Slowest projectile speed of any weapon in the game. No benefit from the game's built in aim-assist for DS3 controller users. And contrary to the OP's impression, can easily lead to suicide, particularly when using cover with a tall vertical edge, like a corner instead of a small box, in a laggy match.

But indirect fire and splash damage make up for those disadvantages in the right circumstances. Its a fun weapon because, right along side the plasma cannon, getting kills with it is kind of satisfying. Its anything but an "I win" button. While a little OP in very specific circumstances, those are the exceptions, as a rule, in most combat situations, its underpowered. People who can take advantage of its strengths and compensate for or mitigate its many, significant weaknesses, can enjoy it.

You really should try it before complaining that its OP. I think you'll be unpleasantly surprised.
