Ok, I'm not one for saying that a weapon is OP or UP, but I do have a suggestions for the lasers. I don't think they should have the same amount of damage from long distance as they do from up close. Just like a laser pointer, the beam loses strength the further away it is from a contact point. This should be the same mechanic as with this weapon. A merc should not have the same strength/damage output from clear across the map as they do up close, just a suggestion. |

Makes a lot of sense, I'm pissed with these laser rifles!  |

Um, before I continue, you do understand that the current mechanic means the laser does less damage up close and more damage at a distance, yeah? A merc does not have the same strength/damage output from clear across the map as they do up close. |

Don't worry, they don't. They do MORE damage over longer ranges! There, problem solved. |

If that is the current mechanic it would still not change what i originally suggested. The laser should do more damage up close and as you get further away, it should weaken. |

One could argue that the current in game mechanic is due to the focal point of the laser being x meters. |

Actually they do more damage in their optimal range, which is something like 10-15 meters deep at somewhere around 60 meters from you as the base distance(no sharpshooter). Both sides of that you get damage drop off. (btw these numbers are from memory and probably inaccurate) |
