HEY HEY HEY. They need time to do these things. It's not like they only have to change a numbe...

[WolvesX]

I'm not even going to argue about that, they are still a terrible weapon, all points said in the months before are still viable.

MG = Terrible Weapon

[Monky]

They are terrible. The direction they have moved in recently though is positive. I would consider 0.1 damage per bullet a minimum for balanced play, preferably in the 0.12 area.

Ideally - double the damage and make them fire in 2.5 second bursts with 2.5 second down time, because you can't keep your lasers, other ballistics, and missile on target while firing the machineguns unless the target is sitting still, meaning - they do less DPS in a practical firefight than posted, by a long shot.

They're less bad, but definitely bad nonetheless.

[Noosemane]

Seriously guys. Machineguns. I can't take it anymore. Please.

Please...

YOUR NAME IS MOARDAKKA AND YOU DON'T CARE ABOUT MGS! HOW REDIC....

[Esplodin]

I've said it before and I'll say it again - machine guns will be worthless until:

a ) 4DPS with current damage profile
b ) 2 - 2.5 DPS with current damage profile minus the cone of RNG.

COCKPITS FOR THE COCKPIT THRONE!

[Lorcan Lladd]

I've been saying this for a while now, but according to battle data MGs can't even compare to Small Lasers (which are by themselves quite ridiculous and ineffectual) until their damage is buffed by 300% over the current value.
The short range and horrendous spread ruin their raw damage potential.

Yeah, the MG still sucks.

It's almost like the 1,000+ post thread on MG feedback is wilfully ignored.

That's 1,000+ posts just in that thread alone; with the 4,196 posts in the linked threads from the first post, there's been over 5,000 posts on MG feedback - most of it saying the MG's need a major buff; much bigger than the one they got last patch.

And still the MG sucks.

[Deathlike]

You know the MG is fine when people start whining its OP.

It has yet to reach that critical mass yet.

Sounds like just about every other weapon and game balance issue then.

[Tennex]

they need to reduce the cone by about half.

They need to reduce the cone by about all of it.

"We've removed randomness in favor of skill", remember?

Apparently there are 1337 skills with the small laser... none for the MG... thus MGs need that cone of fire.

AMIRITE?

[El Bandito]

Aye MG are still bad.

MGs broke my JJs - GRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!!!! (I do agree, though, that the "cone fire" needs to go away)
