I’m using Razer Synapse with my Death Adder 3.5G (Right hand). The macro’s delays have been refined from my previous video. Basically, if you include the key press as a delay then you’re looking at 0.0475 seconds/delay @ 5x AC/2s (0.05 seconds/delay without fast fire) or 0.059375 seconds/delay @ 4x AC/2s (0.0625 seconds/delay without fast fire). I suggest rounding up if you do not have that fine of control over the delay. So, the delays should look like 0.048 (0.050) or 0.060 (0.063). Razer Synapse can’t go below thousandths of a second and is limited to the polling rate so I use the slightly rounded version.

If you’re using Razer Synapse look here:

If you’d like to have weapon group 1 fire all weapons, and weapons 2-6 firing one gun each, the macro should appear as such if you’ve unlocked Fast Fire:
2 (down)
0.048 seconds delay
2 (up)
0.048 seconds delay
3 (down)
0.048 seconds delay
3 (up)
0.048 seconds delay
4 (down)
0.048 seconds delay
4 (up)
0.048 seconds delay
5 (down)
0.048 seconds delay
5 (up)
0.048 seconds delay
6 (down)
0.048 seconds delay
6 (up)
0.048 seconds delay

The math to determine the delay is fairly simple but for those interested here it is:

Spoiler

Default MWO AC/2 recycle time is 0.5 seconds
Fast Fire AC/2 recycle time is 0.475 seconds (5% reduction)
Each weapon and key press counts as a delay. Key presses count as a delay otherwise the game doesn’t register it as pressed.

4x AC/2s
Each weapon and key press is a delay. We have 4 weapons and 4 key presses.
4+4=8, 8 delays total
Recycle time on each AC/2 is 0.5 seconds (0.475 with Fast Fire) and we have 4 of them.
Without Fast Fire: 0.5s/8 delays = 0.0625s/delay
With Fast Fire: 0.475s/8 delays = 0.059375s/delay

5x AC/2s
Each weapon and key press is a delay. We have 5 weapons and 5 key presses.
5+5 = 10, 10 delays total
Without Fast Fire: 0.5s/10 delays = 0.05s/delay
With Fast Fire: 0.475/10 delays = 0.0475s/delay

This will get you to fire the AC/2s at nearly the max speed but it is still slower than group fire. Also, I've noticed that this somehow invokes the Ghost Heat that was recently introduced. Therefore, if you're on a hot map you can only get away with a few bursts before running the risk of overheat. With the ghost heat and this macro, overheating is a death sentence.

I have a feeling that since the macro is making it fire consistently, and under 0.5 seconds, the Ghost Heat is treating it as multiple simultaneous weapon fires so the heat scales dramatically.

To counter-act this, I've created a new 4x and 5x AC/2 delay. It basically introduces a 0.5s delay in between a max of 3 weapons to negate the Ghost Heat. In doing this, it makes your fire rate slower. This being said, I'd suggest simply running a Macro that only fires 2 or 3 weapons with a 0.5s delay between firing another 2/3 AC/2s.

If you want to maintain the Dakka in Razer Synapse, it looks like this:

5x AC/2:

2 (down)
0.100 seconds delay
2 (up)
0.100 seconds delay
3 (down)
0.100 seconds delay
3 (up)
0.5 seconds delay
4 (down)
0.100 seconds delay
4 (up)
0.100 seconds delay
5 (down)
0.100 seconds delay
5 (up)
0.100 seconds delay
6 (down)
0.100 seconds delay
6 (up)
0.5 seconds delay

4x AC/2:

Spoiler

2 (down)
0.167 seconds delay*
2 (up)
0.167 seconds delay
3 (down)
0.167 seconds delay
3 (up)
0.5 seconds delay
4 (down)
0.167 seconds delay
4 (up)
0.167 seconds delay
5 (down)
0.167 seconds delay
5 (up)
0.5 seconds delay
* Note: Where I state “0.167 seconds delay” I had to enter 0.168 and Synapse “adjusted” it to 0.167.

These two configurations basically switches the setup to a sort of ‘burst fire’ that sounds pretty cool and will not invoke the Ghost Heat penalty.

Best thing about all those funky macros is : losing DPS but gaining showmanship

I noticed this too. I was in for a really rude awakening when I tried to drive my Quad AC/2 Jager the other day. =\

this is pretty cool.
