Just want to remind you guys that CCP Remnant is in Shanghai, and while the blog just went live, I am going to assume he's sleeping soundly like an angel and so may not be able to reply swiftly to your feedback!

What are the three ranges, in metres, for the weapons listed.

It's great that we have this in the game now, gun play feels a lot less fake now that bullets don't disappear - but what we really need here is the full list of ranges for every single weapon.

i like the article but i raise an inquiry of mine. according to this chart plasma weaponry is supposed to be short range and projetiles short to mid-range.

so, why do the current plasma ARs have such vastly superior range to the minmintar HMG (dispersion and recoil not included)?


i know in the article it compares them based on their weapon class, but im still a little confused.

How are we suppose to give you feedback without numbers?

Are you hiding the number because this is a free to play game? Because it can't be that it would take too long, that is impossible.

Why are there three weapon categories that do more damage to armor?

So explosive damage is -20% Shield +20 Armor eh? ? Might want to check that one again CCP, it's -30% shield +30 armor.

I understand this may take some more time to implement in-game (where its needed the most - in the "show info" portion of each item) - but in the meantime we as players need the information provided to us anyways in one form or another. Another spreadsheet datadump is in order at the very least.

Remnant, can you furnish this to us as soon as possible? And if you've got too much on your plate, is there a community team member that will take responsibility for tracking this down and getting it posted up here? Thanks in advance, to whomever can help. It's nice to know that we have damage types, and different ranges, but this is stuff that all of us following along knew already and what the community really needs here are the hard numbers.

My other question is - do all weapons do consistent, full damage all the way up to their optimal? Or is there a range that is "too short" (like a minimum range) for weapons to deliver their optimal damage? Thanks for answering this as well.

It would be awesome if they added a firing range to our ready room. Some place were we could test our newly purchased weapons RoF, accuracy, damage, range, etc.

Forge gun damage change, completely unnecessary. Now it's just a crappy, heavy only Swarm launcher, with better projectile travel time and worse damage.

Riddle me this: Why? What purpose did that serve? Each weapon had a purpose - Swarm for armor, Forge for shield. By that mentality, you just made Forge guns redundant.

Sweeping changes with no warning. You guys clearly learned your lessons from uprising, didn't you...

There are several weapons listed there, like the combat rifle and the rail rifle, that aren't currently in game.

When will CCP be releasing these weapons?

The change to the Forge Gun is to make way for the Laser and Hybrid Heavy weapons indicated above.

This does mean shield tanking on Tanks gets a temporary boost until these new weapons come out.

I would also speculate that the Heavy Hybrid would be anti-infantry and the Heavy Laser would be Anti-Tank.

What temporary boost? Shield tanks are still soft as butter.

can we put back explosives back -30% +30% because that was ok and armor has 4-5x the repair ability of shield that have(vehicles) and you know it ccp that or lower the effectiveness of armor repairers or buff shield boosters.

That applies in theory against vehicles but its very detrimental against infantry. Sure, the 30% is good when using a mass driver to take out those pesky LAVs but it makes mince meat of infantry.

With that in mind, if you're referring to Swarm Launchers, it only makes the problem of dropships worse as they wouldn't be able to survive it with such low HP values and no defense against it.

Then you have to consider that this would cause players to "adapt" by changing to Shield tanked vehicles, of which your weapon wouldn't do as well and there aren't many weapons designed for. Flux grenades are okay, but beyond that your options are limited.

So the question you have to ask is: "What needs changing, the weapon or the vehicle?"

so... when sniper can see 600 m? we cant see even in our range

Be your own Judge. What game looks like more fun to you? Dust.........Or this.........

Planetside 2

Coming to PS4 this year

For AV, you pick the best weapon for the job. Forge gun comes with plenty of drawbacks, AND does less damage than swarms. WHY would anyone use it now instead of a Swarm launcher. Gimped weapon is gimped.

If they want to drastically change is role, fine. I want all my Forge gun sp back. I already have an anti armor weapon, and it's called my Swarm launcher. I have over 1.5 million SP in forge guns. That's a lot of wasted time, and I've got every right to be pissed off.

In Uprising 1.2 weapons ranges got a welcomed change as iterated in this new dev blog by CCP Remnant. Be sure to read about it and leave your feedback!

Scrambler Rifle - Medium\Long Range... in game 50 meters
AR - Short Range.... in game 65 meters....
O.O

Sniper can see and hit at top 500.

and that is all i have to say about that

GImped? you have to be kidding me, the assault forge gun can hit a tank atleast 2-3 times depending on distance before a swarm launcher volley lands and last time i checked the swarm launcher doesn't OHKO every suit in the game from a distance of 300m with pin point accuracy.

Oh and dont even get me started on gastuns forge gun, 6 round forge gun that takes 1.6 seconds to fire a shot and can hold its charge? Gimped my ass, the forge gun makes a swarm launcher look like a kids toy by comparison.
