Have you ever been in a game with a hmg infestation that your assault rifle just can't take out? Well, I think I just found the HMG's weakness. The next time you are in your dropsuit making screen, make a loadout with a less expensive dropsuit and equip a MILITIA shotgun. If you specialize in sniping, AR, or anything thats not a shotgun, always have a shotgun class handy to take out those pests.
Make sure that you understand how the awful hit detection works. It's relatively consistent. Get as close as possible and spam all of your bullets until that thing dies. Don't run at it or let it see you before you start shooting. Try taking the flank or switching cover spots until you reach him.
I'm not sure why this works so well, but it definitely works. Maybe its because of the fact that heavies can't move or strafe fast enough to get behind cover. Tell me if it works. |

It works... coming from a Heavy who never sees the Scout with the shotgun until I'm laying sideways...  |

SMG from behind usually works for me.
Scouts can circle faster than Heavies can turn if you do it right. |

Running them over with an LAV is also pretty easy. I've gotten ran over more times than I can count, and have no way to evade it. |

And if the shotgun was available as a backup for my Swarm Launcher, I'd probably use it more often.
As it stands, I prefer the SMG because it's a Sidearm. |

Never had a problem taking out a heavy with my AR. Just takes a bit more focused fire, and with them moving as fast as a pregnant whale, it's not too hard to accomplish that. |

get yourself an assault forge gun. LAVs are usually toast in one shot |

I use the Ishukone Assault Forge, but Im usually too distracted until theyre right on me, and the charge takes about 2.5 s so Im usually dead before then. |

fully upgraded assault forge guns take a lil under 2 seconds to charge and fire, it takes around 1.5 seconds for a decent AR to kill a heavy. the HMG has a vastly shorter range than the AR, a heavy is significantly slower than any other class, it takes longer for a heavy to turn and heavys have no way to aim down the sights.
so well done, you have found another way to **** the most vulnerable class. |

If you are getting mowed down by an HMG its becuase you're an idiot and decided to go on a diet of lead sandwitches. Also always prepare for a HMG to spawn if think you're so clever spawn camping without a remote explosive. |

Really, there's never been an HMG that was any good at anything since the new build dropped.
If you're having trouble, you're terrible. and should probably just take your PS3 outside and leave it for the squirrels. |

HMG operators that adapted are quite deadly though, We learned to creep up to the targets head easily and they sorta have a habbit of dropping real quick then. Also having alot of HP helps as the target things "oh gee is a heavy with a HMG ill just stand here and shoot him."
HMG will win every time you decide to sit still as shotgun blasting distance. |
