To be fair, the Minichaingun took a huge nerf with the last patch.

I am not sure if it is significantly better than the Lasher and the Jackhammer anymore.

I do know the Lasher got a boost so it might be atop the list of heavy weapons, however I have not gotten a chance to try out the post boost Lasher.

:P alright, alright, I took it off

FearTheAtlas · 2003-04-22, 09:10 PM

btw, the Lasher is good

...I like the Pulsar better, but I think the Lasher could be put into Heavy Weapons IMO

"he's one of those gay guys who bias one empire when the empires are still in beta phase. "

About the Mighty NC weapons comment I posted, it's known as a joke a.k.a Having a laugh, look it up. Anyway, you should take bias with one empire. It's them you will be fighting for in the game and all your characters have to be part of it, so you might as well be proud and support it.

Anyway, whats wrong with homosexuals?

Haha.
By the way Atlas you said you like the Pulsar over the Lasher, I dont play as VS so I am uneducated about how their guns really ending up being, why do you like it more? Just gathering informtaion.

this community mkes me want to stab a knife through my eye.

So what's stopping you?

Anyway, as Random already pointed out, the spread is too large to be effective. Currently, the basic Sweeper shotgun is more effective.

Comparing it to the Chaingun or Lasher is pretty silly atm. The gun's simply not finished.

The sweeper is awesome.

I can get the gauss AND the sweeper for two certs, but the jackhammer costs 4? No thanks.

Just makes me sad to think what the jackhammer could be..

IMO they should make the jackhammer like the NC AI max... with three different spreads, and then nerf the damage... its pretty useless on anything that is more than 1 meter away as it is...

Ohh, and the lasher is cool outside too... just spray those orbs near their feet, so the actually take damage

Personally i dont like the pulsar... its to little damage for me

But it has near no recoil... just burst and chrouch and ull hit with all your shots. Same with cycler and gauss, allthoug u migth want to take quick pauses once in a while.
