Actually my favorite point, out of all the players I run across the fewest suits I see are heavies.

This game isn't about killing. Obviously Heavies job is to hold their ground and kill, so they will be more powerful at killing than everyone else. This isn't overpowered, it's by design. If you run across a heavy your best bet is to run, their speed and tracking is horrible. I've managed to be caught in their line of fire and run away and survive several times. They can't chase you and their radars can't track you, use it to your advantage. Stop playing it like every other shooter where everyone has the same speed and hitpoints and every weapon is supposed to stand toe to toe with every other weapon.



Heavy may not be one of the most challenging roles to play decently, but still requires some skill if you are holding down a base to never give it up, or if you are charging with a squad to prioritize targets on the spot to keep your buddies alive. Also keep this in mind, if you are a heavy and your team doesn't have most the null cannons, there's no much you can do about it directly. You are too slow and too detectable to try and lone wolf capture them all back. Heavies become very dependent on the team for Skirmish at least.

I've seen Heavies with Gek Assaults.

Heavies are only a problem for people who don't play as a squad.

Lets play together and not argue, you have your X amount of SP heavy, and I will break out Pimp Hand Strong my ALT heavy that has 700k sp, and we will compare on some ambush rounds, I am down with that. We can argue and debate till we are blue in the face, and still will not agree.

DING DING..........

heavies can run in a squad too.

My point wasn't about isk/skill costs, it's that other builds can counter heavies. Instead they decide to get within their range and try to out-damage them, of course they're going to die. Get out of their range and snipe them, or close the distance and blast them with a shotgun, but don't stand right in front of their HMG's.

= The good heavies that are known, i never saw any of them struggle at the end of a build like they claim happens, always good strong numbers. Perhaps later on it is not as easy to rip people to shreds and others are able to deal damage to you.

I enjoy the heavy, and enjoy the POWER and OP that it is, and take advatage of it everytime I play with it.

What numbers have you seen, that you haven't seen from a guy running assault? A sh*tty player in heavy armor is still a sh*tty player. A good player in heavy armor will probably get flanked by a good player in assault/scout/logistics. Any heavy will still get over run by swarms, if they don't have any support.

there is good and bad people behind either weapon, why stray from my main point?

the only point I was ever making that keeps going over everybodies heads is that you can get into this build from the get go and wreck people, either it be new bros, or old bros. When I say op, it is in the sense that it is to powerfull to start out with.

You can get into any build off the get go.


I run strictly Heavy tho most of the time I use FG I do use the HMG, Just to see if I was as "OP" as everyone says I been using my Logi assualt Starter Fit. I feel like a ******* SUPER HERO, I can run at insane speeds, I can even JUMP OVER RAILS! and my scores at the end of the game are almost the same as running my Type 1 Heavy.

Ok I might have a few more deathes then normal but thats my own fault ( charging HMGs head on ) The Range and Accuracy of the AR is awesome compared to the HMG.

try the type II heavy, you can get that from the start, it can almost jump over rails, and dominates the Type 1,but that is just prefrence...imo

Today I took on 3 new berries in heavies solo with my heavy. A bad player is still a bad player and TBH if you're dying super easily to all heavies you need to reevaluate your build and your tactics.

it only takes one time trying to learn(not able to jump rails) , i still like being able to run neck and neck with assault players though.

Are Heavies strong? Yes they are. However, I just consider it as the universe making up for all the times I get placed with a terrible team in Skirmish and I'm the only thing standing in the way of our team getting steamrolled.

There are plenty of things I don't enjoy facing: snipers, laser rifles, assault rifle users with the common sense to stay out of range, mass drivers, grenades, shotgun scouts sneaking up behind me...and of course, people who earned enough WP slaughtering the rest of my team to get an Orbital Strike.

If you consider Heavies OP, it's likely that you also try to put screws in with a hammer.

The perk is that it requires no true skill to use the HMG

Low Rate Hitman:

You bring your Type II heavy suit and HMG and in about three weeks when I finish skilling other skills I will bring a SCOUT suit, three damage mods and a SIDEARM.

Deal??

Since the heavy is so "OP" and takes no skill.

I remember doing a SCOUT SMG build last build and going mano a mano versus heavies HMG.

HMG 16 per bullet at 2000 rpm
SMG 23 per bullet at 1000 rpm aprox.

But its more with three damage mods.
Oh did I mention HEAVIES are blind and SLOOOOOOW to turn??

zzzziiiipppppp from the Ishukone SMG to the heavies back and the heavy goes to the respawn.
