Unsure if it is because of skill points or actually figuring out the employment of this weapon system but....
my mass driver is kicking butt.
I am convinced that skilling up light weapon sharpshooter helps a lot. And weapon proficiency helps some.
But overall I feel like I'm learning how to more effectively fight with this weapon.
Nice job CCP. I love systems that grow with me (preferably via player skill but also with invested points) |

maybe the reason it doesn't explode sometimes is it lands beyond it's range? |

I think that's the rub with the Mass Driver. When it hits and actually explodes it's a thing of beauty. The other 60% of the time it's a piece of junk. |

Been running with these for the last week with the Freedom proto, proficiency lvl 5, reload lvl5, reload prof. lvl 4, and the blast radius all the way up.
Its great fun to use when you are up on higher ground and can shoot down on unsuspecting troops. I suggest that you team up with a good AV player and hold down the middle platform between A, B, and C. Get MASSive kills at B and C protecting them from up there.
Haven't used it too much on the ground because of the trajectory and the distance it shoots is a lil hard to adjust to, plus you can blow your self up if you decide to blast someone too close to you. |

Being on higher ground with it really does add a huge advantage, can't wait to see what the variants can do in the next build |

I've had a few excellent games with it, when it works. I've had matches where I can go through all 4 shots with the proto and not one of them explode. |

It is my favorite weapon by leaps and bounds. Went 29-2 with my Freedom Mass Driver earlier this afternoon, every shell worked perfectly the whole match. The thing is a monster when you level up proficiency, operations, reload speed, weaponry, and total ammo.
I am really not sure of the effectiveness of the sharpshooter skill, would be curious to know the baseline effective distance of the rounds. Feel like it causes the same damage at all ranges regardless of that skill, but I am sure that is incorrect. |

I love it except for this. I can't tell you how many times I've landed a shell at someone's feet to just have it disappear. Of course, the only one that does explode is the 4th out of the 4 rounds you get. |

Not real sure how often mine don't explode but it seems fine when aiming at a distance or below you when the round has time to travel.
Overall definitely my fav weapon, sound,look and the kick. Just lobbing them into a group and see them scatter, kill the scouts and other low shield/armor infantry.
Would like to hold another set of rounds of a different type, mainly AA like a flak round that blows up near a dropship or other vehicle. Or it could have rounds with the same effect as the incoming AV nades. |
