With the respec coming within the week, I thought this would be a good opportunity for the community to come together and discuss the viability of our weapons. This hopefully will help new players and respec users make optimal choices; there will be no more respecs in the near future, so if you skill into something you are stuck with it. This is NOT a QQ thread, and I don't want it to become one.

Kova Knives are a hit or a miss. If your opponent sees you coming, you're at a huge disadvantage, it's too situational for A-Tier. Assault is the best MD in the game right now. If more people agree, I'd move Standard to B-Tier. Breach is not really that good, unless the forum disagrees.

I think the mass drivers are fine where they are. I'm not convinced fluxes should be S tier.
Thanks for the catch. Flux Nade was probably the hardest to decide on, but I bumped it up to S Tier because its really effective on tanks or Infantry. Even if you're grazed by it, Infantry shields are going down, and Flux Nade alone will probably be enough to send any tanker momentarily retreating, even if you don't have something else to damage them.

Most everyone in this game shield tanks. I can deplete shields in two to three hits and then I only have their very low armor HP to blast through.
If by everyone you mean Calogibros and scouts, then yes, but against anyone else, you will have a frustrating time depleting that armor unless you charge shoot them. Scrambler also has range issues for a light weapon. I suppose you could switch to the Submachine once you deplete the shield, but you might as well be using Flux + anything else for that. They do make good support weapons in optimal range, but then again, so is the Assault Mass Driver. |
