the weakness it has at point blank

the spamming of forge gunners is only going to get it nerfed, and vehicles are going to reign supreme. it is the circle of QQ.

Weakness? What weakness?

I am a Forge Gunner and I demand answers.

The real limitations are based on the suit. Lack of mobility, reliance on supply depots or logistics with nanohives which gives it a team-oriented edge. Reload time and small clip I think are a good balance for the range and damage potential... but yeah the thing rocks

interesting answer right here. You say there is a scene of balance to the forge gun and agree that it is indeed the best weapon in dust. But how can a weapon be balanced if it IS the best weapon in dust?

All that said, take the instance where a forge on a tower on a certain map can rule the battlefield and completely deny the objective to the enemy. But it takes significant coordination to keep that going: Logi to drop ups/hives, possibly a dedicated rep logi to mitigate sniper threat, a decent dropship/pilot to get you up there, the travel time involved with the logi not supporting other players. Things that are taken for granted, but a lot of coordination and effort goes into making that forge gunner 'work'. Which is rewarded in situational effectiveness. An opposing team using similar coordination can time 3x sniper shots simultaneously to take it out, which is balance. Just not 1 for 1 "simple" balance ... but now I'm just rambling.

jack of all trades. Master of.. all?

commando with FG & HMG anyone?

dont we wish

Squad of forge gunners vrs squad of ARs
Forge gunners are slow, ARs probably beat them to objectives
Forge gunners typically require more tactical positioning to be effective. (up on the pipes, etc) preventing them from taking objectives.
A squad of forge-gunners cannot resupply themselves, and cannot drop uplinks. They have no equipment.
A squad of forge-gunners are very vulnerable to flux+weapon and will have trouble making a tactical retreat.
Most of the forge gun's weaknesses come from the suit, though.
The forge-gun's bullet has travel time.
The forge-gun has limited ammo.

-__- All this talk about the FG is gonna get it nerfed.... damn it.

Best weapon of dust by itself, no.

But yeah cubs has done pretty well with his trusty forge up top, although you could spam drop ships or use a sniper to take him out..spamming the high towers with forges and snipers used to not happen often cause it took skill in chromosome with the flight ceiling to get to some of those high places, not anymore. Lots of fools do it in the pubs to fantastic success.

I was just poking fun. With anything related to CCP it generally helps to have a morbid sense of humor. Don't expect major changes to the FG anytime soon.

Im not saying that its OP, but i do think that it is the single, most devastating and overall most effective weapon in dust. You can kill anyone with it at all ranges, especially when your above them wich you can pretty much always do. Can kill the best tanks in one clip and one shot anyone you look at. Has the splash damage to allow some near misses and single handedly hold an objective were a tank can not. Again, not saying its OP but imo its pretty much the best gun to use because its so brutally effective at well, everything and the weakness it has at point blank is easily avoidable with a dropship or latter. Whatchya think?

someone really needs to do a parody of the Lion King with the circle of QQ/nerf, whatever you can make work. "what about the shadowy place there?" "those are where the laser rifles, faglocks, and callogiASSfucks are, Simba, you must never spec into anything but the AR."
