And the scatmax is just super specialized, more than damn near any other weapon there is. If I could get dual recoilless rifles on my NC MAX, I probably would. As is, I just roll with Falcons.
My particular complaint is that scatmaxes are good only within 20m, which is completely true, but every capture point is in a building or enclosed area within this distance, or accessible only through a tiny chokepoint less than half that distance wide. This makes the supposed disadvantages of the scatmax of a lack of a longer ranged anti infantry option seem rather inconsequential.
I suppose this has more to do with bad base design (seriously fuck biolabs) than anything else, but it's still frustrating to deal with.
Irrelevant since it's been fixed since then, but did you play with the Vulcan when it was new? At one point, that bastard could tear up Galaxies.
I missed that particular brokenness but I did get to play with it before Harassers were nerfed. I was gunner of Vulcan Harassers enough (not that often really) to recognize that that particular combo was broken as hell.
B-but I've a TX2 Repeater (or something as the prefix :v) and it can't kill anyone unless the bullets go *boink* on their heads.
Yeah, the TR default pistol is kinda useless compared to, say, the Commissioner (three body shots = dead) or the Underboss (4 body shots, I think).
I disagree that the Repeater is useless. It is a 21 round pocket SMG. It is a fantastic 'oh shit' gun. It has saved me many a time when I was caught out of ammo or reloading.
The Emperor is really good too, since its maximum damage range is 15m and has a huge clip for its damage. If you go for headshots you could potentially get seven kills in a single clip, which is on the high side for pistols.
