First range mid range combat:
At mid range the mass driver is most dangerous there's only a few things you can do at this point and not end up dead.
#1: find cover if you can one without any wall behind it as the splash damage can rebound off the wall and cause damage and get there quickly running with your side to the hostile mass driver as this makes you harder to hit once in cover engage when ready.
#2:get to an elevated position if you can the greatest weakness of the mass driver is it's difficulty to use against elevated targets, engage when ready.
#3:no cover? Zigzag towards your target and get in close making the chance they kill themselves much greater, you have no garentee to survive in this situation it's gonna come down to your skill at aiming so don't suck.
Weapon of choice: mid/long rang weapon such as the assault rifle, assault scrambler rifle, scrambler pistols, and the *shudder* flaylock.
Second range long range combat:
If you're at this range you've got the best chance.
#1:take um down quickly, a decent mass driver user knows you have him at a disadvantage so he wants to close that gap firing to keep your head low watch those rounds and pump him full of ammo.
Ain't much else to it watch those rounds and put um down.
Weapon of choice: tactical assault rifle, scrambler rifle.
Third range CQC:
This is where you have to be warry get hit here and running will only get you killed.
#1:if you can flank, most are to stupid to try attacking the mass driver user from behind, he's not expecting it so put rounds into the back of his skull cause if he turns around you're done.
#2:flux him and get close this increases the chance of him blowing himself up.
Weapon of choice: mid/short range smg, scrambler pistols, shotgun, breach AR
Fitting tips:
#1: TAKE OFF THOSE DAMAGE MODS! The worst posible thing you can do when fighting explosives is to take away from your shield.
#2: if you're an armor guy tank as much as you can and take him down before he starts pounding you , the mass driver is made to destroy armor so there's not much you can do but have good aim and tank er out.
#3:sidearm will save you in CQC I suggest the scrambler pistols or smg because any mass driver worth his salt will spank you if you have a flaylock at close range still useable but try to surprise them with it if you do.
Times to engage and times to gtfo
Above mass driver:engage
Below mass driver: gtfo
What not to do when fighting a mass driver:
1:staying in the open when cover is nearby
2:staying in the same cover when the mass driver is still hitting you
3:bunny hopping ( Fir the love of all things don't do this you're just making yourself easier to kill , that don't work with explosives)
Just a few tips that I hope some of yall having problems realy tiered so I most likely forgot a few things so I'll add on to it later.
As always if you have experience and wish to add some tips or any questions feel free to post below.

Why doesn't bunny hopping work? They just aim at the ground where you'll land? |

Good Post
On bunny hopping:
A good mass driver user likes when you jump, It means he can give you a direct shot when you land. The have the experience to judge.
Don't stand below me and try to outshoot me with your AR.
The most important flaw for the MD is its low clip size. 6-8 shots is all you get. When they stop shooting you have 4 seconds, use them well. |

Also getting in close gives the MD greatest advantage to jump and aim for feet so beware getting too close. However, they also have a good likelihood of killing themselves.
Ideally take on MDs in the mid-long range or long range. These are wimps from a distance, just DO NOT give height advantage. |
