I think the Forge Gun should either be able to lock onto people or have splash damage, so of you hit the ground close to their feet it will still kill them. Having to hit an enemy directly on with a weapon that's meant for ranged use, which you can't even aim with might I add, is very difficult.

It does do splash, just not a lot.

I should not be missing a CRU when I'm standing right next to it !

nothing wrong with it at the current build, but people need to set more nanohives... I keep running out of ammo too soon.

Should a weapon which is amazing for killing vehicles really be an effective infantry killer? I already one shot a fair number of infantry with a basic, crappy forge gun every game. My little 1300 isk or whatever gun instantly destroys any infantry build you throw at it, based entirely on one shot hitting or not. That's pretty goddamn powerful as-is. If anything it needs to be toned down. Every time I waste some guy in fancy armor as he pops around the corner, or snipe some guy minding his own business, I honestly feel a bit cheap.

it's not for shooting at infantry. get an SMG.

But those aren't an insta-kill. I want nuclear-homing-grenades.

Have you ever tried using a forge gun? They are so inaccurate they will miss 1 out of 6 times vs a stationary target from a stationary position, never mind "running and gunning." Hell, running in a heavy suit while trying to shoot a forge gun is like any other suit's walking, only slower and the shots are far less accurate. They are worthless against infantry unless you can land a lucky shot - truly lucky. Your best shot vs infantry with a forge gun is to shoot at their ankles and hope the splash damage gets them.

Actually your best bet is to switch to SMG at close range. Medium range your screwed. The only thing I really don't like is moving EVEN SLOWER when charging the forge. IMHO, not needed.

Lol, yes, I use a forge gun probably 9/10 times I spawn. You're complaining about an anti-vehicle weapon that isn't doing very well against infantry... Hmm... I wonder what is causing the issue you're having.


You slow down to hold the weapon stable, have you noticed how much that thing shakes? It would be impossible to aim with walking faster.
