Yea I said it...Boundless Tactical HMG.
This weapon makes perfect sense, and I'll tell you why. AR's have the fully auto version, burst, and tactical.
HMG's only have the fully auto, and burst. We have a crappy version that shoots rainbows and butterflies at range though. Don't know how many people actually use that "my lil pony" weapon tbh.
But yeah. Give us a weapon, an actual USEFUL ranged weapon like our AR brothers are exploiting *cough* I mean using!, that our AR brothers are using!
I'm not even trolling, I'm actually making a serious discussion thread. A tactical HMG breaks the current stigma of being mainly a "defender" and can actually be a useful support player.

Then, heavies would be more viable in the open maps lacking tighter spaces (which is basically all of them). 3 round burst HMG, extremely low dispersion, goes wide if you burst it too fast. Range about as far as the GEK.
Yea I was thinking a burst HMG with distance as well tbh. It adds the bullet spread, inaccuracy that HMG's are known for, but adds the range and power.
This sounds brilliant  |

Vicious Minotaur wrote:The burst HMG is certainly good (my experience only comes from Chromosome, though), but it does not exactly fit the bill. I like the semi-auto nature of the TAR as well as the Scrambler rifle variant that charges, and would like to see it translated into a heavy weapon (ideally a new type, not an HMG). I just want more variety. Assault users have tonnes. Heavies don't.
Very true. I like the burst HMG though. Adding some variety to the HMG would be nice.
Long range burst CCP...make it happen

tbh, if we had a HMG that can shoot at range, and produce good dmg, I won't mind it spinning up before shooting as a way to balance it. |

Ladies and gentlemen, I believe we have a breach HMG. The breach variant has the longest range and lowest dispersion of all the HMG variants, but requires a spool up time before firing.
I like it! Accuracy + Range but requires a spool time. |

How would you feel about a "Heavy AR"?
I know lots of people are thinking: "hey, an HMG is a heavy AR basically"...
But here's what I'm saying:
-A larger but almost identical weapon in comparison to the AR It will look like an AR but it will be physically larger as well as louder.
-The weapon will have the same variants as the light AR (basic, burst, breach, tactical)
-In every aspect it will be SLIGHTLY more powerful than the regular AR (more CPU/PG, base DMG, range, kick/dispersion, ammo capacity both clip size and ammunition carried)
-Other factors like accuracy and fire rate will be the same as the light AR's, but will vary with the different rifles variants to match the existing AR's stats.
thoughts?
It made me chuckle thinking about a big ass assault rifle, but it DOES make sense. Problem is, the weapon will be too good. AR's are kings of versatility, and while I want the heavy class to have a more active role, I think this idea might be too good. |

I'm not a numbers guy  lol
i like the idea, and it's certainly something that will benefit the class. If you can come up with numbers and such, make a thread in the feedback section, and I'll support it however I can.

Discus. watched a guy go 36/0 with boundless HMG , so working as intended I gues, maybe it's not for you. And people need to stop grouping tactical assault rifle with all other assault rifles, it's the only one that needs looked into for a fix.
Who said the Boundless wasn't working as intended?
I'm asking for a viable long range HMG...not an "Assault HMG" that is currently in the game, and is borderline useless.
Useless isn't the word. It's a gun made for a faster suit which isn't in the game. |
