    They added an option of long velocity ammo....

    My final thoughts of it, worst weapon out of all classes, single shot + server lag + taking to kill 5-7 shots depending of where you hit your enemy = weapon with pure failure.


    Upclose battle = disadvantage ( understandable)

    Midrange= disadvantage ( not understandable)

    Faraway= disadvantage ( SOE can I have what you smoking?)

    I like this gun because I dig semi-auto guns. Its range is quite good, but its midrange effectiveness could use a little more buffing. I'd up the DMG, perhaps, so it can compete with the other options.

    With the 6x sway added, I prefer to use the 4x now (still use the 6x on occasion, though). It would be great if the gun was stronger at the 4x range. I think more DMG would help.

    definitely needs to do more damage\, its practically usless....

    Buff damage enough to reduce number of shots to kill by 1. :)

    Yeah I don't understand it at all. I was using the Mauler shotgun with Slugs as a battle rifle because the other options were so poor.

    You had to stand still to land the shots and the bullet velocity was terrible, but 3 or 4 body shots would kill most people. A real battle rifle feel about it, heavy hitting slow firing, required aiming.

    So SOE nerfed slugs + shotguns, and buffed battle rifles, so I thought sweet I can use a battle rifle for battle rifle style gameplay.

    Wrong. It is junk. At medium range you can drop people faster by burst firing an SMG. It should be a 4 body shot kill. 5-7 shots is a joke.

    over a thousand combined hours into this game mostly as infantry and I can't recall a single death by baddie rifle, plenty of assists though.

    its a CLASSIC piece of junk, ugh have all my HA weapons with purple medal except shotguns since I never bought one, but this Warden is a pure pain, 700 kills so far and it feels like it takes a lot of time...

    I use it to complement my AV turret, first I use my wire guided sniper rifle, and if I miss I finish them off with the AMR-66.

    I bought it with certs for my engineer. Gave it a serious try but I felt it was too weak. I went back to my great carbine with the brown grip and high ROF whatever it's called. That thing is so much more pleasant to use.
