Actually no, the Sniper requires most skill  I will counter that with the Mass Driver. Well, using the mass driver effectively. Not quite, the only difficulty with the mass driver is getting the hang of it and getting used to the arc. After that your firing a giant arcing bullet that you don't even have to hit the target with.
However, you also have to deal with travel time, keeping track of your splash radius when enemies get close, and keeping ammo around you at all times.
With a mass driver you are often raining rounds at long range, which means you have to try to predict where the enemy will be in 2~3 seconds time. And you typically need at LEAST 2 solid hits to kill even the weakest enemies (unless they are in a starter fir scout suit ). You often have to sorround the enemy with shells and trick him into running in the direction you want him to go.
I have to side with the Mass Driver. I've had plenty of 39/0 games with a SR, I've only seen 3 people EVER clear 30 kills with only the MD, one of them was me, one I never caught the name of (hit square too fast after the match) and the other..... I can't remember his name, and I really should... he's an Imperfect in a logi suit... lil help? He's been running MDs for a long time... |

The people using REAL guns are in the military. Your plasma-bullet-spewing AR is as real as my laser rifle or man-portable minigun. Most people use AR because they automatically repeat the habits that made them good in other FPS games, and because it's a solid jack of all trades. Laser RifleMan Portable MinigunNow could you please refer me to where the plasma-bullet-spewing AR is? Or are you just a dipshit? My bad. It would have been more accurate for me to say the AR is the only unreal gun in the game. (Or are you somehow ignorant of how the AR works in DUST?) More importantly though: you missed the point. You are playing a video game. Any statement about anything being a REAL gun makes no sense whatsoever.
Pretty much. Fake universe, fake guns, fake physics. If ya don't like it, there's the door. This game's foundation may be based on RL science, but anything beyond the bare basics is subject to CCP's whim. And right now CCP's whim is to make plasma-bullet-spewing AR's. Have fun getting shot by it. |
