Past:
Nova Knives - I knew I was to become a dedicated Nova Knife Scout probably within 10 days of playing the game. By my 18th day, I had joined a Scout corp. At the time very few people used them, and I loved being hipster. I remember one of my first (possibly THE first) kills I got with them. I camped our homepoint for like half the match, waiting for someone to come. Eventually someone came and started hacking, and I ran up and stabbed them, then hopped away gaily. Repeated I think three times that match. I've never had such a rush in this game than that first time. Went on to main with them for about a year, then I started using Assaults a little after I joined T.H.I.R.D R.O.C.K.
Present:
Assault Rail Rifle - After the Caldari Assault got a bonus to recoil, this weapon became pretty good. It's better than the standard Rail Rifle for hipfire and spray n' prey, and it still has a very good range. I used to use the SCR, but after the nerf the ARR became better.
Alternative Present:
Assault Combat Rifle - The Combat Rifle is the only weapon in the game that I have Proficiency 5 in. I run the Combat Rifle on my Minja and my Assault MK.0, but I don't really use Min Assaults often now. The Combat Rifle is great because I think it's the most ordinary weapon in the game - that is, it is most like anything we'd find on Earth. No strange mechanics like charge-up or overheat; it's just press the trigger and fire bullets. Decent damage profile too, absolutely shreds armour, and the difference is really quite noticeable when you get past the Shields. Good range and excellent hipfire. I prefer the Assault Combat Rifle in general I think due to the more 'flowing' damage application, whereas there is a slight pause between regular CR shots, which can mean death in tight situations. The Assault Combat Rifle is also better under lag. That being said, I prefer the regular Combat Rifle on wide-open maps with no lag, where I can take advantage of the extra range.
Would have liked to learn:
Remote Explosives - If there's one thing in this game that I absolutely suck at, it's spamming RE's. It would have been nice to be able to sprint through a nest of reds and make the whole place erupt behind me as I sprint out, like in some action film, but alas, it was not to be.  |
