So I generally use a Mass Driver in my 'Combat Engineer' Build. For the first few matches I used it, I saw notable results. Nice hits, some splash, and could easily do damage (though not often kill) via splash. I'd say, it was in all a great time and weapon suiting my playstyle.

Then an awful thing happened.

I would fire, and the charge would vanish upon impact... no explosion... no damage... nothing...

I thought, oh it's just a couple. It'll work next game.

It didn't. Nor did it start working again until two games later.

I did some testing (between getting my arse handed to me because a Logistics Suit with a non-functional Mass Driver is next to useless in combat), and found that in about 50% of the areas, the Mass Driver Charge didn't register hitting the ground and vanished through. Thus no explosion. In another 75% of cases... a direct hit on an enemy would cause shield flash, and the charge would vanish... sometimes damage, sometimes not... but no explosion and no damage to the person right beside them.

I'd love to see these issues fixed, as I think the Mass Driver is a great weapon and fills both a suppression role, and mid-range anti-personnel role without being an over-powered and easily used weapon.

Oh, and please fix the sound it makes. The weapon is great, but it sounds like a cheap, spring-loaded toy.
