I'm new to EVE and Dust 514. I'm currently playing with a Heavy Dropsuit, Level 1 or 2.
There is one weapon out there that will kill me with a single shot. Sounds a bit like a saw blade grinding metal. What the heck is it?!?
Makes the whole "upgrade your shield and armor" concept kinda pointless to me... |

Forge gun or a laser rifle. Both will make quick work of you. |

It was most likely a forge gun or a large rail gun from a tank or turret instalation,
the forge one shot kill only if the hit connects directly because it has a charge up time, is difficult to aim due to lack of sights and sway while charging with a rate of fire worst than sniper rifles |

It's an anti-vehicle weapon, so it's supposed to be powerful. That said, not just anyone can kill an infantry with one. You have to be very very good or very very lucky to hit infantry. In short, not over powered at all. |

It's a hand held version of a HAV large turret railgun and does just as much damage, though it is a bit slower firing and is tad less accurate. |

Shotgun, hands down.
When I can pull out a heavy with 400 shield and 527 armor and get one shoot by a MLT Shotgun, there is a problem. Lost freaking 155k with that loadout too mind you (/>_<)/|_____| |

Tbh, you don't need to aim for the head if you're facing a heavy. The Shotgun is more a buckshot. So bigger = more damage. More or less, each one of the shards that hit you adds up. I could pull out a MLT and one shot most people with it in prototype gear once I'm 10-15 meters close to them. Kinda game breaking to me when you can make a weapon a one shot kill. I would rather face a forge gun than face someone with a shotgun.

Not true, only proto SG one shots a heavy. Militia does not drop a heavy in one shot. I tested them all. No SG one shots a heavy off 15m. I doubt you can one shot anything beyond scout 15m away unless you are using a proto breach SG. |

shotty, point blank, 180 jumping headshot = 1 hit kill. Sounds like a dodge ball more than grinding metal. Also the only reason to play a scout. |

i don't think that is accurate 10-15 meters will get me killed when i am using a SMG or a Shotgun, unless you maxed out both sharpshooting skills for light weapons.
if someone is sitting 20 feet away and they have a AR i might as well be throwing the shells underhanded.
the range is pathetic and to nerf the only thing the shotgun does and that is CQC you are just bringing the AR even closer to the only good weapon in the game against infantry.
because balance isn't CCP's strong point they would just nerf the Shotgun's damage so it couldn't kill a assault suit on a head shot and leave it at that. |

I know, thats why i run towards a heavy everytime i see one if im carrying a shotgun. I atleast get a kill assist out of it. |

Ever heard a nova knife cut something? That one definitely sounds like a saw cutting through metal. It has a certain two-stroke nose to it as well in quick succession. The Ishukone version is a true one hit kill weapon that cuts down most assault suits. |

The weapon I'm describing is NOT a Forge Gun. Or a Knife. Or a Turret.
It is handheld, and can fire off about one shot every half a second (so no charging). Also, like I said, it makes a very distinctive sound. In a heavy dropsuit with 650 HP to shields and 100 HP to Armor, it will one shot kill me. From either five feet away or fifty. So I don't think it is a shotgun either.
The only two weapons in the game I have not played yet are the laser rifiles and aforementioned shotgun. So I'm starting to to think a LASER RIFLE might be what I'm talking about. Er...and a "rail gun". What are those? Forgive the ignorance but I don't remember seeing those listed. |

WOW
Guys lets be accurate and stop saying things that are unverified. No one is taking out 900 hp with a miltia shotgun. Go grab it and actually measure the distance...it will show up on the bottom of your screen...left side. The shotgun...unless skilled up has a ridiculous close range effective only nature. If my memory serves right I had 0% efficiency at 16meters. One has to get real close with those. Just do tests before stating your feelings..... "Dude, it felt like 20 meters away and I got one shotted...ow OP."

May be you meant 650 Armor and 100 Shield. Its very likely to be a shotgut as i've mentioned earlier. I use the grenades before i approach a heavy (It does most of the damage) and then i finish him off with a SG. |

Allotek Breach Shotgun is beast. But remember guys it also depends on the players other skills that help produce the powerful Dmg. Also if you are rocking an AR keep at range. Shotguns are ment for CQC so I believe they are where they should be |

That bieng said you probably took a couple of different weapon damages at once and a laser rifle probably got the kill cuz that's the closest that a blade grinding metal sounds like. |
