An HMG SHOULD NOT be able to hit a sniper whose sniping him from far away. I was next to the sniper and we were pretty far from the heavy but he still died and lost half of my shields. I don't have anything against heavies but the HMG needs to have a larger spread or range reduction. That weapon is made for CQC not long ranged combat like a sniper or even the AR's max range.
Also, the merc pack affects only 1 character slot right? Or can it be used among all the character slots? (Specifically, aurum) |

You know, "sniping from far away" .... it's about 20m further than "sniping from far far away", but about 20m shorter than when "sniping from sorta far way" |

AUR is available to all of your characters as it's registered to your PSN account. However if you purchase any real money items from the PSN Store via the in game marketplace, those items will only be distributed to the character you used to make the purchase. On the other hand if you purchase these straight from the PSN store, you will be able to assign any purchased items to the characters you want on the character select screen. |

HMG does not have much range. That is why my AR beats them at range. Their spread doesn't let them do much damage at range.
If you see a Heavy kill a sniper, it was likely that the sniper was almost dead from someone else (another sniper) and that the Heavy just got a last bullet into the guy. |

AR's have better range than HMG, plus you can skill up to increase the range anyway |

if you died from far away to an HMG, then obviously you're not sniping far enough away.
As a heavy, any sniper that is taking shots at me, and I see where he is, I make every effort to hunt him down. I'll take the whole game if I must. I'll jump in my LAV, climb the mountain or building you're on, and melee you. Then proceed to put my digital nuts on your digital face multiple times.

Hmmm....I guess that's a good reason. He did have only half of his armor left. |

Also, if you're getting shot by a heavy and you're sniping (unless you're in a heavy suit yourself), MOVE. |

What? No - you don't need a reason. If you aren't talking about yourself then whoever this sniper is is just terrible. Any sniper with half a brain laugh at heavies attempts to get at them without an LAV. |

That would do it.
Depending on what suit he was in, that would leave him with less than 100 HP left, and the HMG has a damage bonus towards armor. |

....There's no way to measure in-game. I dunno the exact map name but the map where Control point A is linked to Control Point B by a bridge. He was standing at the siding near Control Point A while the Heavy was about mid distance from Control Point D to A (By the CRU). Wow.....that wasn't very specific. I dunno the map names of this game. There's also Control Point C nearby B with a CRU in-between. |

Yeah a prototype assualt HMG and 2 million sp into giving plus 30% range will do that.

It's weaker than the standard version though, so your sniper teammate still sucked.
