as a guy who kills snipers with forge guns and snipes as well, I have to say that it is extremely difficult to get someone with a forge gun from very far away. There are some key factors when attempting this. 1. Is it an open air shot? And by open air i mean is there anything behind them or does your round just keep going. This is by far the hardest shot to pull off with a forge gun. Not to say it can't be done or that I haven't done it, but conditions have to be perfect and sometimes you just have to be lucky to do it. 2. Are they on a tower or pipes with a backround or am I above them shooting down. Lots of forge gun kills come from it's epic splash, especially when shooting the low shielded and armored scout suits. You may not realize that they're not shooting you, but the wall/obstruction behind you, causing the splash dmg to kill you. and number 3 is kind of a mixture of both when it's open air but they're hitting the ground just in front of you to cause the splash.
Of course as a forge gunner I don't feel it should be tampered with. There have been plenty of shots where I miss guys repeatedly, but then when I do hit them, I'm sure they're screaming WTF?!? |

well they can't rain destruction for long, forge guns only have 24 shots max lvl i believe, and no equipment slots either, so unless there's someone else feeding them, they won't be around... and with the charge time of the forge, it's possible for a quick couple of scouts to get out of the spawn area and counter snipe him at least to make him run away |

yes but scout suits have equipment slots... the type 2 has 2 equipment slots so if you had the cpu/pg you could have 2 nanohives to resupply |

Well get the complex CPU boosters, and lvl all the skills you need to reduce the cpu need of your sniper rifle and increase the cpu of the suit and get some nano hives! Heck if need be get rid of the SMG... snipers no need SMG j/k but seriously now XD... Besides... most snipers are scout suits because when you counter snipe them, they go dead. |

my suit can take a beating long enough for me to get behind cover, or take out the other guy.
+1 for nanohives... can you equip the ones that repair armor and give ammo? |
