Draw distance, ADS sensitivity, and the iron sight are what ruin the laser.

Its like i have been told about everything on this game... have to adapt. It is workable but is even more just a situational wepon than it ever was. It shines in domination game mode where you can play perimiter *phonics" defense away from the objective. I have 0 sp sunk into it... so i can only give opinion on the rawest level.

The iron sight is easy to get used to, but it's badly designed and puts people off.The other two, make an already hard to use weapon hard to use due to bad programming. Remember when the MD was bugged? Same thing.

It is bad mechanics indeed.. whe you sprint..than ads, its like a whole new "slow motion" mode. When I first used it i was told a yr ago that the lr was ccp's pride and joy..and there was only a handfull of lr users.. than it turned ungodly op and they was everwhere..now its in the shape its in now.

It seems like if a wepon was not used much..hidden buffs was given...like the tac ar, and we are able to use them that way longer than we should due to the wepon being op and broken visibly across the board, than the wepon is broken "nerfed".

Im play and do my videos till i get bored and move on...i have put many days into this game...and promoted it like crazy, i do know that.

See... nobody really used it when it first came out due to it not being that great..... than overnight the thing was ripping and melting faces... over night... it will get another buff so that the users increase in due time

"u need to put damage mods on it i hear. and u need an amarr suit for the laser heat reduction bonus.
Qu"

...and a good flaylock/smg and some contact grenades while you're at it!

I actually saw a laser on the battlefield last night. I kind of flashed back to Chromosome and immediately dove for cover. Luckily I came to quickly, ducked back around the corner, promptly shot him in the head with my AR.

Poor laser boys....I can't recall even dying from one since launch....and I've died a lot.

I don't blame him, if you use an assault rifle long enough you forget that other weapons require a bit of thought before firing.

That could be attributed to the exposure it got on YouTube. If something is OP, but nobody knows about it, is it truly OP?

yes but no nerf hammers will come down till it hit the mass of players as OP and draws its bandwagon.

the only real problem with the LR i have it sharp dropoff at 85m to 90m. its just insane. its good to melt people faces who are using ledges with en-battlements to rain down with on people only exposing a tiny slivers of themselves.

Um its the best gun in the game at the moment THE HELL YOU ON?

LR's bark is worse than its bite.

When it hits you it sounds like it is melting you from the inside out but then I look at the HUD and just LOL at the guy using it.

I understand that CCP wants weapons to have distinct ranges, but the LR suffering a massive close range damage reduction is ridiculous. I don't think there's any argument to be made that making the LR's optimal, say, 20-80 with an effective range of ~100 (as opposed to the current 60-80 with an effective range of ~85) would make it OP, and it would make it so much more usable. Unless you can consistently maneuver all your opponents into that 60-80m sweet spot, the LR is terrible. Given the fact that pretty much all installation fighting in Dust occurs within the AR's optimal, ~20-40m, or in CQC within 10m, the LR's distance requirement renders it useless.

Also, on a lore note- lasers only get weaker as they travel. Science, please. Don't try to tell me that this big honkin' laser beam is harmless if you're two feet away from it, but deadly if you're 60m away...

Not even with DAMAGE mods. THE REAL ISSUE with the laser rifle is that is supposed to be a mid-long range weapon, and it doesn't even have a miserable sight.

Lasers USED to have a GOOD sight, BETTER DAMAGE , and still was an underused weapon...

Unnecessary nerf anyone... ?

So you're basically saying that if the Viziam was properly coded at the start, the laser would have needed a buff in Chrome?

You missed the point...its like it was made op overnight just so more people would use it.

in chrome naw if it was coded right. it wasn't and i stand by that. the current is weaker than it should be but not by much and is very close to where it should be besides the 85m+ ranges which i believe is wrong. its effective range should span out to 100m, but otherwise it shines at what it does best. i do suggest more players try it out and use it correctly, it works great.

You joking right?
Lasers were as common as assault rifles near the end of chromosome.
They were beastly, melting pretty much anyone and everything before you can even blink, as long as you know how to use it right.
And best of all?
You didn't even need to stay on the target, the damage was so high, swiping over them is enough to kill them.
It needed a nerf, but CCP went too far.
