I think we didnt had this one already. So I already died like 2000 times and I am almost sure about 10 of them were due to Beamers. I dont ask for a nerf but I think the Beamer needs a serious nerf.
Needs some serious balance passes done. Doesn't mean ti'm not gonna stop using it though! (for srs tho i love the damn thing it puts in WORK)
Your Beamer needs some work. Also if you wanna beat a Beamer, a deci works well as well as 3-4 people using concentrated fire. Don't forget to try concussion grenades while you're at it. And it fall else fails, get a Prowler/Vanguard.
I just started again this week (like 4 month hiatus) and my FPS is pretty low. My beamer's 4 on my weapons list which is kinda sad but i've also yet to get an auraxium on anything.
Obviously you need a coordinated platoon and have 8 people face one beamer user face on, while having 12 people flank to the sides and 18 people flank to the back. That all isn't enough though, but you can also get 2 tanks, 2 ESF's, and 4 people beacon onto a really high hill to AV turret the beamer user. That might be enough to take take of him, I'd say about 35% chance.
The other factions should really get orbital strikes and low-yield thermo-nuclear warheads for their carbines to balance it out. For too long have we Vanu dominated Auraxium because of this OP weapon.
I was on a Vanu toon and thought I had my Commissioner equipped, when much to my surprise I pulled out my Beamer. Sure enough the other guy I think was out of ammo because he kept trying to knife me instead of using his guns, but in a brave, last-ditch defense I shot him six or ten or forty-seven times and he actually died. Nerf Beamer!
