DUST Search - No Gauss Rifle

Holy hell... I actually saw posts about people finally recognizing what's going on!

+1 to the OP. I reall want to see the Gauss Rifle too. We need more general purpose/utility weapons like the gallante AR around. Variety of utility weapons is a beautiful thing.

+1 to Cosgar and slypie11, for recognition that some assaults cry about every other weapon killing them (which lead to them getting nerfed or handicapped).

But don't let the OP's post derail! lol

The Gauss Rifle is probably going through the balancing ringer right now.

I for one, wouldn't mind some weapon types being exclusively Officer-level.
If the gauss rifle is just THAT good, that they aren't sure they want to release it on Uprising, just make it a rare officer drop.

I just know it'll be a boss weapon. Capable of serious mid to semi-long range sniping, and it's railgun-style operation ensures damaging impact power, at almost any range.

It has "OP" written all over it. I don't blame them for hesitating to release it.
I say make it an officer-level weapon, just so we can still have it on May 6. Then make the weaker more balanced variants available later.

The Minmatar recieve a flaylock pistol while they already have the md, hmg, & smg. The Gallente recieve a plasma cannon along with the AR & Shotgudn. The Amaar get a Scrambler Rifle to go along with thier op pistol & the also have the laser rifle. While the Caldari only have a forge gun with no heavy suit to use it, a sniper rifle & those stupid nova knives that no one uses. Where is the Caldari weapon this is not fair at all.

Also I was posting under my alts name. So now weapons are OP if they can kill when used correctly and with good skill? Maybe CCP should implement an anti-aim assist that automatically moves a player's reticle away from the enemy if they start to do too well in a game. Or maybe they should make it so no matter what, no one can die unless you have two to three people shooting at them. First of all this thread wasn't started to diss other weapons and their users. If you look at the subject it clearly says NO GAUSS RIFLE. I am a AR user but I don't have anything against the scrambler pistol or any other weapon. So could you guys please turn my thread back in the right direction because I'm trying to get CCP to notice that their are a lot of people who are pro Caldari and would like to see the Gauss Rifle in the upcoming build. I said one weapon was op as a joke and everyone got all offensive like a bunch of winy little girls. If you wanna have this discussion take it back to general disscussion not on request and feedback.

The scrambler pistol isn't OP, it takes a good player to use it and only then its effective. But that's true for any weapon, only that noob players can use them too, but with less effectiveness. The scrambler pistol is the weapon that rewards accuracy the most. 2. The shield favoritism tells me that Caldari are very much loved inside CCP. In fact if I remember correctly, the entire trailer team are Caldari. I agree that why I said in the right hands It is devastating.

Maybe it will come May 6th. If it doesn't, I'm sure it won't be too long down the road, so just hold your horses a little longer. I know that but I'm basing this off of the fact that CCP's Wolfman didn't mention it as one of the new upcoming weapons in the recent merc cast. He only mentions the Scramber Rifle, Plasma Cannon, & Flaylock Pistol.

That's kind of what I was thinking. I hope it's the special item rewarded for those who play a 100 games during this month in the HEP event.
