Raid weapons need slight adjustment

I'm not saying that any particular weapon is stronger then the another, but I've been finding that the raid weapons either completely out-class other weapons of the same type, or are just a shamble of what they could be. Some of them are performing better in scenarios where another weapon of that type would be a death sentence for the user. I'm not asking for a buff, or a nerf, but adjustments. For example, the TTK raid machine gun(can't remember how it is spelled) has a range advantage versus its damage drop off. The raid sniper, I saw a guy wipe a whole team in trials just by abusing the target snaping mechanism (where everytime you pull the ADS trigger/bumper it adjusts, so if you do it rapidly you can go from target to target with out even leaving the ADS HUD.) Granted it does become useless like most snipers once your target gets within a certain range (although some snipers can blow your brains out point blank while ADSing.) And finally we have the raid shotgun, it isn't all that great, sure it can wreck if your targets not paying attention or they just panic, but compared to any other shot gun (like the Conspiracy Theory D or the year two Invective or even The Fourth Horseman) its being completely outshined, I understand that they are preventing us from going back to the time when shotguns ruled all. But the range and impact just aren't there. Also, I know that it is unrelated to the topic, but, I have come to terms with the Sunbreaker subclass, I have discovered a way to take them down before they take you down.

  • The auto is terrible. The hand cannon, fusion, and shotgun could have been better. The rocketlauncher is decent, and can have some good perks. The sniper, the scout, the pulse, and the machine gun are the best IMO, and the pulse with firefly is very fun to use.

  • You know, they wouldn't have to adjust the drop rate at all for kings fall if the weapons were better (remember praetorian foil?). I'd be fine grinding out to get that pulse rifle and fusion rifle [i]if it were worth it.[/i] but instead we're having to grind it out for weapons that in the end we don't even want. I agree, something needs to change and I don't think it's the drop rate like everyone's complaining about.

  • I agree that certain raid weapons could've been better. The handcannon fells so subpar, I always infuse it to something else. The scout rifle is amazing! Both in PvP and PvE! ~[i]TheGreatNike[/i]
