    I was just responding (humoroulsy I'd hoped) to a point made by someone else about the advantage of an Archer over an RL at 50 metres 1 v 1.

    I actually agree with you that there are better ways for an engie to handle a Max and they are to do with laying mines or engaging from a greater distance with Archer or AV mana turret. I certainly don't go looking for them even though I play a combat style of engie (front line, shooting people and laying ambush mines, whilst repairing or resupplying along the way rather than as a primary role).

    I'd rather Engineers be able to pack it into their Turret slot instead so they can keep their Carbine for general work.

    Hell no..............

    The HA doesn't need more AV on it.


    The Infiltrator should have access to the Archer instead.

    I don't see how using the Archer as an alternative to a rocket launcher counts as "more anti-vehicle power"... I'd just like to have a better counter to MAXs and a dumb-fire AA (not a rocket) option while playing HA.

    Hell, turning it directly into an Anti-Material MANA Turret would be a massive buff to the Archer, give it a higher rate of fire, maintain damage(Against infantry, against vehicles it's damage is buffed) and accuracy, but it's a stationary weapon. That would turn the Archer into an infinitely more viable weapon.

    I don't know... I like the mobility of the Archer.

    Its a nice idea, but it wouldn't make sense. Heavys already have anti max and anti vehicle weaopns, but frkm what ive seen, the archer only picks off health from vehicles. Not much else.

    What if it was given to Light Assault as a tool? At some point in the near future, Light Assault is getting a "Rocklet Rifle," which is a light anti-vehicle weapon. Would an Archer be a good option as well?

    My Medic has an Archer that shoots C4 cause balance.
