OK, I explained some of it already, but let me try again. Because the MD is not hitscan, you must aim in time and space. Because most weapons are hitscan, you only need to aim in space. If that makes no sense to you - brain up.

Also, the AR fires much faster than the MD, so yes, you have to point the AR at the target. The MD you have to point the weapon at the target as well, but differently as explained aboce. With the MD you get 6 shots (8 on the Assault variants). 6 shots - that's all. Also, you have a total of 18 shots in the gun, then you need supplies. This is a big limitation.

There are other issues that make the MD more difficult to use than casual observation would suggest.

I invite anyone who thinks the MD is an "easy" weapon to use, to try it for a while and see how it really works. It has it's place, but it is by no means easier than the "default" AR weapon.

I think the funniest part is where you mentioned "mass driver" and "aim" in the same sentence.

It goes more like this: With MD you kinda point yourself in the general direction of the red dots a bit and then mash R1 repeatedly until all the squishy things die from your 50m splash radius grenade launcher that does virtually no self-damage to the operator outside of him sticking the MD into an enemy's ribs and pulling the trigger.

btw, the other weapons do not instantly hit when you pull the trigger. Basing MD's "aiming" (lol) on the incorrect assumption that just because it has the lowest muzzle velocity it's the only one you have to "aim in time and space" is lulzy.

I can see by your hyperbole that you feel threatened. I'm guessing that by your 50m comment, you're the kind of player that sees an MD opponent and tries to hide next to a wall for cover, or runs up a hill in the open at a MD opponent who is behind cover. No matter. Dust 514 welcomes all, even the tactically challenged.

Please accept my heartfelt invitation to become uber and use the MD yourself. Second, the other weapons do hit instantly. That's kinda the definition of hitscan. Of course, you might not see this when watching videos or waiting for in game feedback, but that's a technical issue obviously beyond your comprehension.

Thanks for playing forum warrior with me. I have to go though, so please, again, accept my invitation to the elite and play a MD.

It's cute that I can rile up an MD baddy so easily and his only response is to repeat over and over ad nauseam "IT DOES TOO TAKE SKILL! YOU'RE JUST DUMB!" btw, the guy in the video is easy to 1v1. I should make a highlight reel of him and every other MD baddy spamming the thing desperately trying to kill me before I shoot their faces off. It's adorable how bad the average MD user is even though the thing is probably the most OP infantry weapon in the game thanks to a near total lack of self damage beyond 1m, making it essentially an explosive shotgun with an arcing projectile and a huge effective range, and the fact that they have a bigger splash radius than missile turrets.
