Thanks - DP - I'll share with my team.

Great stuff, I think flux grenades and high ground are the most important tips.

I used to run all the damage mods and expensive shield extenders but I die to much lol. The tsunami does a pretty good job at half the cost of the cyclone. I don't personally find the cyclone to be worth the extra isk.

I'm pretty fond of the Assault Mass Driver for smaller maps. Flux grenades are much more important but the larger splash radius throws of the aim of enemies enough that you can dump a lot of shells and run.

All the standard ones suck. The first really useful MD is the tsunami, then moved up to the cyclone. So I've really only used the AUR MDs

I think a cool idea for a proto would be one that can fire either flux or standard rounds. Give it a 6 round mag that fires 3 flux and 3 standard grenades. Give it the same reload time but give it a 2 second switch over time from grenade types.

MD lvl 5, proficiency lvl 3, sharpshooter lvl 5

I run mainly logi so I'm running MD a lot but I've also moved in to laser rifle. LR kind of sucks because without a sidearm can't do any cqc.

Sever Logi BPO

Exo 5 MD ISK version tier III

Two enhanced shield extenders, 2 armor plates

Flux nades, rep tool, hive, and injector is my std set, however lately been using RE's but that creates issues not having both inj and rep tool for my squad since forgoing hive is a nonstarter. Im thinking about testing PE's so i can set and forget and then get to a supply depot and switch to my hive/inj/rep suit and still have objectives protected without having to set off the RE.

Now at range i try to find elevation to push people into cover so my teammates can "cleanup"

When i want to do the killing i try to use to get into alleys and corridors where people cant escape easily and surprise them with a flux nade and then come out of cover and start dropping MD fire on them, the key to success however is knowing how to hit the floor behind them or hitting shots off objects behind them to protect you from damage

I also find bunny hopping in close quarters keeps me from getting hurt too much by splash damage, its also a good way to avoid or at least mitigate the splash damage you incur from MD fire similar to nades.

Also the key is to learn the distance and how to lead your shots, in CQC i will often strafe one direction but place my shots in the opposite direction since most ppl instinctively strage away from you to try to create distance, one shot in that direction almost guarantees they change the direction so i try to anticipate that so i can setup a direct hit. but with flux and that setup above its enough to kill in 2 well placed shots 4-5 if your just spraying.

*semi auto noobtube or pro pipe

i like how people get instantly defensive or butthurt. Did I say anything was wrong it it?

People in this forum take everything said way too serious.

IDGAF what people have fun with. Like to pro pipe? By all means, feel free to noobtube. Because I chose to call it that you assume I'm calling you a "noob" as an attempt to insult you or troll you. Chill out.

back out of trolling? HAHAHAHAHAHA...first time I've EVER heard that one, and I was on Battlelog steady!


A weapon shooting nades (M320) has been called a noobtube for years now, so I don't know what makes you think you're special. You use something shooting nades that explode on impact...sounds awful lot like a M320 but semi auto.

If you feel like a noob then fine, if you don't, then fine. You are what you perceive yourself to be.

Telling me "f*ck" and all... you mad over something sir?

GO to the marketplace and look at the suits yourself in the class you are interested in. It would be way too large a wall of text for me to explain the differences. Actually it isnt

There are no variants like assault class that gives increased shield at the cost of armor, they are all 125 shield and i think 105 armor as a base(not sure about the armor).

The main difference is that the 2 varaints differ in equipments slots Tier I give 3 slots at the cost of movement speed and stamina
The other varaints have 2 slots but give you more stamina and speed. So you'll move either like a slightly faster heavy or a slightly slower assualt depending on which way you go. As far as modules they are i believe they are the same from tier to tier b/w assualt class and logi class, 2 and 2 and then 3 and 3 i think.

Like i said check the marketplace and you'll be able to see for sure. Just press triangle and look at the stats to see what they all give.

Oh logi have tons of CPU/PG thats why they can stack some really ridiculous things together like dmg mods at lower levels of dropsuit fittings. Its all about which types of modules you use that can really extend the life out of your low end gear.

I dont see anything wrong here. At close range the MD is a noob tube that fires off "nades" but if you arent careful and mindful of your surroundings it will kill you like all "noob" tubes.

However where a skilled MD user and a nonskilled MD user is evident is at range. Sure you can do damage but getting kills takes skill even more so than AR since you have to manage both distance and direction and lead your aim to a moving target in a way AR and yes even Snipers don't have to in this game. So if a person is racking up kills at range with an MD on the regular either they are skilled, leeching kills from others, or the reddots are extremely dumb.

Skill with a MD really shines in the hands of ppl who can land DIRECT hits consistently or the ever elusive direct headshot. Also skill in close quarter shines when a player manages their clip properly, too many MD scrubs just fire at will and if they dont get the kill in the first 4 shots those last 2 arent going to help because they will miss those as well.

I run two logi fits with MD(only run the MD unless I am so broke the I go free with Exile).

My first is my real cheap.

Sever BPO

Highs - 1 complex 1 enhanced shield mods
Lows - Enhanced armor plate and militia armor rep(not enough basic to go enhanced but militia fits so to save money militia it is).
Weapon - Exo 5 MD
Equipment -Militia Nanite injector, triage rep gun, and Gauged nanohives
Nades - flux nades

Advanced suit - A series( I don't run the B because I am a main logi and need the hives for my own ammo)

Highs - 3 Complex shield mods
Low - Enhanced armor plates, Comlex shield restorer faster mod, enhanced armor rep
Weapon - Exo 5
Equipment - Kin12 nanite Injector, Triage rep gun, and Gauged nanohives
Grenades - Advanced flux nades

My skills are MD LV 5, MD Pro LV 2, Light weapon capacity LV 2, Rapid reload LV 2, Sharpshooter LV 2(did this early and really don't think it is needed for the MD for how close the encounters are right now. I can hit from Bravo to Delta on the 5 point map right now).

The only advise I have is not only fight from the high ground as this is universal for an encounter all around, but almost never fight up hill at least try to gain a level battlefield. I have been using the MD for over 3 months and still have not found the angles that you need to fight up hill really well I am better now with it, but you are at a serious disadvantage that is most of the time not able to be over come.

This was my bread and butter but trust me friend, get dat dat B-series! Have the same loadout but with a complex damage modifier and you will love it. Or you could go double damage mod. Also get prof. 3 or better. Would talk about going proto but right now there really isn't any need but the four highs and extra equip does look lovely!

Both !
I use a Complex damage mod and Prof 3
and I use Flux level 1

Just Flux for now. It's great for softening up the enemy whether I'm solo or supporting my squad, and I prefer using the slot for defense so I can stay alive longer to revive and heal more. I leave the heavy killing to the front line elements of my squad.

I'm using the SEVER BPO Logi suit, needle, hives, and rep tool, though I have one rarely used fit that swaps out the rep tool tor an uplink. For the most part I use a scout suit to deploy uplinks as it is faster and completely BPO. I'm not sure which I would go with if I had to choose only two pieces of equipment, but fortunately I don't have to. The EXO-5 MD rounds out my loadout. I just bought MD Proficiency L3, so it's as If I have one damage module anyway.
