DUST Search - Laser rifles are OP, it seems.

Nothing wrong with the lasers, like what was already said they have to be used at a specific range. If you close the distance between you and a laser they don't stand a chance.

But how can you close the gap when they burn through shield and armour at such a fast rate that you either die, get killed by something else or are left void because you have no health?

Once again it seems that you have to be under very certain circumstances to live through them.

Use cover, it really isn't as hard as you think to get up close to someone. Then again, I still haven't logged on dust since the Chromosome update, so I will have to login and see, maybe without pinpoint accurate AR rounds I won't be forced into cover as much, so maybe you have a good point.

But please don't add recoil, that would screw with the whole point of the gun, recoil is supposed to make you burst fire your weapons, but damage increases the longer you fire, so even a tiny amount of recoil would just completely screw the gun. If you HAVE to nerf the gun, just tweak damage or maybe charge time a little.

And if anyone disagrees, go face The Dark Cloud and then come back. And I'm not singling him out, any laser rifle kills a lot of players (personal experience). Don't they have a temperature build up or a slow building recoil? If so I'll shut my mouth, but if not they need fixed. I support the use of the word balance and not nerf; I supported the balancing of the ARs and I'm an AR devotee.

(...) Let my straight this up - you just made very important topic about weapon you not even test it? Beside it's a laser htf it suppose to have recoil? Find in you apartment flashlight battery, turn off regular light then turn on flashlight - do it a few times, then come back here and tell us all did it recoil, ok. I'm trying to find out if I'm being killed by an OP weapon or if I'm facing reall reall good players becaus it honestly feels the first. and I'm not going waste SP on something I don't want. Fair enough on your point about the recoil, but I wasn't meaning recoil like the AR has, just like the cross hair sways around a bit because I thought it was plasma or something like that.

I won't even bother taking them on at long distance if I can't kill them in a few seconds. Even harder now without any real sights I'm the exact same, 3 seconds I am killed in.

Why are people such cnts? It's a topic under "GENERAL DISCUSSIONS" go and wnk over your precious laser rifle if you love it so much you fcking pick. It's good that there's so much objection on a forum for discussions. Offer your opinion sure, but don't be an a*sehole.
