Small pulse laser suffers from weight, it's always better to take medium laser instead of it. Large pulse laser is now a viable option as they lowered the heat it causes per shot, loveable thing in brawler builds...

PPCs tend to do way less damage than promised so it got my vote.

Machine gun, AC2, Flamer, LRMs, all pulse lasers, and now SRMs kinda suck.

AC/2s are still good, so are pulse lasers, I agree on the rest of them.

[Joseph Mallan]

AC2 is too good, Pulses work well if you wanna knife fight, Machine guns are weak as a new born and flamers have always been for roasting marshmallows!

[JudgeDeathCZ]

NARC.
Or if you want REAL weapon then Machinegun.

What is the worst weapon system currently in the game and state why.

I'm voting LRM's at the moment. The damage is so pointless on LRM's whenever I see someone boating them on my team, I cringe because we are one mech down.

Seriously, LRM? LRM are overpowered compared to sucktastic weapons like Flamer and the Machine Gun.

The only mechs that can somewhat effectively use lrms right now are Stalkers, because they are sending over twice as many as any other mech.

[Terror Teddy]

All other individual weapons apart from Flamers and MG's are a VIABLE weapon choice for a light mech so they should be at the top of the list.

They need to get proper care - there is nothing more to say about it.

Assuming this was true, which mech can effectively use Machine Guns or Flamers?

Well, what do you expect from an assault missile mech - it's what it was designed for.

[Alex Warden]

none

[Ratiborus]

LRM of course, no doubts. It should be obvious for everyone. MGs and Flamers always been used only by freaks or just for lulz.

[Wildstreak]

Poll should list weapons individually then it will be seen the Small Pulse Laser is the worst.

I have seen LRMs get used even with the nerf.
I have seen even MGs and Flamers.

But a SPL?

But seriously, none of those you listed are "worst" some of the sub-types are pretty bad currently, like pulse lasers are often not worth taking over normal ones, AC5s are often not the best use of a ballistics hardpoint, ect.

All those listed have their place and can be bad on the wrong configuration but none are a worse use of hard points and tonnage than the others.

Large pulse lasers are actually worth using at the moment, but you get diminishing returns with medium and small pulse.

I hate the idea of consumables

Wrong thread?

BTW what do you hate about consumables? The current ones or things that would add a tactical depth to the game or perhaps even if you ONLY paid C-Bills for them?

Has got to be "flamer" !! it just beats out the machine gun. In hundreds of matches now, i've only seen it used/equipt once....and that mech didn't last long.

[hashinshin]

ITT: People pretending LRMs are worse than AC/5, AC/10, LBX10, MGs, and Flamers.

Well, at least you feel that you do some damage with that weapon - unfortunately you have to kiss the enemy to be close enough and the heeat make YOU burn up and not the enemy.

The AC/5 on the other hand is GOOD - at least compared fitting wise to the UAC/5.

You can have two of them ion the side torso of a HB with XL engine and gain a fast firing very heavy AC/10.

Pretty obvious the poll was stacked for people to choose missile weapons, this is just another whine thread about them not being top dog anymore.

[Iacov]

my vote if for mgs and flamers...
they are that bad, that they aren't even considered in a list voting for the worst weapons system xD
