I read mention of the Sharpshooter skill ruining the experience with the HMG. Something about it causing the HMG to behave like an AR with needing to zoom-in to hit targets. I tried searching the forums more for this topic but could not find anymore on it, so I'm posting this thread.
Can anyone else share some insight into this issue? I'd like the effective range increase from the skill, but if it causes an increased level of zoom, then I would want to avoid that for sure. Does it behave as-if the HMG is scoped? Is it an increased level of zoom? Does it decrease effectiveness in cqc while not holding down the "aim" button?
And let's get this out of the way; I've read all about how ineffective Heavies are in this round of game patches, but as of right now I'm planning to tough it out in hopes that CCP will balance things out and carve out a nice role for my fatboy. Thanks for helpful insight. |

What it actually does is tighten your spread to be more effective long range. The idea is that you need this to unlock more distance with the forge gun.
However the effect on the hmg makes your bullets spray in a tighter area making it more accurate I suppose, but at close range this is a severe henderance. It is very noticeable after level three to the point I wish I had not done this. If it doesn't Chang next build I would never skill it again very noticeable.
However for those that don't use the hmg go for it. |

If the HMG were to be reworked, to fire a cone effect it wouldn't be a problem. However anyone with Sharpshooter 3+ the HMG is just a stream of bullets that requires pin point accuracy.
It's a HMG, it's supposed to be a suppression fire weapon. with the current build it does not feel it's doing that role. It feels like a really big SMG. |
