The rest in that category are good, But its so bad I was told to just use my Militia one until I could afford tier 3.

Thats just my opinion though. Perhaps other people love the **** outa the breach.

The Breach is probably THE most annoying Shotgun I've ever used, the slow RoF coupled with terrible hitmarkers makes it the worst Shotgun in the game.

I recently got the CRG-3, so its all good.

Good God, the CRG-3 is ridiculous, I'm not gunna start making an OP thread, but seriously that thing is a nightmare to face.

If a good, stealthy scout gets behind your lines with it, Dust suddenly turns into Climax of the Blair Witch Project: The Game.

Nova knives obviously fall in this catagory so we can assume that. What does the community think any weapons that could use a little dev love?

I should be getting mine this afternoon. o3o Im going to run around gooing BOOF BOOF BOOF and cackling like a mad woman over squad chat. It was glorious when I bought a few Chimeras to tide me over. BRB dunking fools.

Most the time we can dodge them, but forge guns...shudder when they're in the hands of someone who knows what they're doing, cue the moment 2 seconds before impact when you see a FG round come flying at you.

Has anyone had much success with them? I remember the Breach was OP in an early build, then subsequently the Tactical. An increase in damage would make sense to me.

With how few shots it has yes, You'd think it should be a chunk and dunk. Instead of a supportive shotgun. (How i used it, I would lower someone to one tic for an AR users to clean up.) aka not to much fun

Generally I have to catch dropships off guard with the most damaging Swarms I have available in order to swat them out of the sky. I still end up getting them more often than not, but it takes ~3 volleys for every 1 that actually hits when they're trying to evade me. For sheer damage and reliability: Forge > Swarm, but the forge gunner is stuck in a slow suit with no ammo replenishment. Swarm guys can set up sniping positions and engage in guerrilla tactics. (With the sad but necessary removal of dumbfire, sneaking up behind a tank with a scout and hammering him up the rear end is no longer viable.) If you put a Swarm and a Forge guy together, that's when the real fireworks begin.

Since this used to be my favorite weapon (and that was after the nerf), how did it change? I can still get a decent kill spree going when I switch to my old dropsuit.

Instead of the previous 10% difference between levels it is now 5%. You still get some secondary bonuses but damage is longer the main reason to upgrade.

The small ones oughtta get their accuracy set back to where it was and the large ones would be good with a fairly hefty reduction on the deviation as well.
