[Guide] Worst weapons for each faction?

In fact, why do Burst anythings exist in this game? Especially for TR and VS which rely on ROF to deal the damage, they're just completely gimped variants of the stock weapons. I tried the TRAC-5 Burst out for a while after having some hope in it after trying it in VR, and it was horrendous. Worse at long range, worse at mid range, worse at CQC, still bugger all attachments, what is the point of this gun? And I assume every other Burst has the same woes.

Wait, you think the carv has terrible recoil? try the gauss saw without certs!
The carv is the best weapon at cqc out of all stock weapons, best dps/ttk and large mag, Orion comes next, saw is the worst at cqc, lowest dps/rpm.
How can you even miss with the carv at <20m? I just full-auto 0.56s later the enemy is dead! Gauss Saw needs 0.72s! Edit: that is with NW1 and above!

You know that HAs own everything except MAXes at CQC and every objective in this game is based on CQC?

Do you even Carv, bro?

how about the 99sv or whatever how its called the tr sniper default rifle is terrible need 4 shoots for kill a HA

U can't look at the recoil number alone. It must be looked in combination with ROF. SAW has lower ROF so although it has higher recoil it also has longer interval to recover.

Everything else being equal, a 10% increase in damage is MUCH more advantageous than a 10% increase in ROF. The recoil is the limiting factor here, so you only take partial benefits from increased ROF.

Orion is probably the best starting LMG for CQC

Hrm. For tanks, at least, the useless ones are useless for all factions.

I'd say MBT HE is not really a viable choice any longer. It's a crippling disadvantage in tank duels, and it's only marginally better than HEAT for downing infantry. HEAT and AP are useful for all of them.

Then you have the ES AI secondaries for MBT's. Such garbage. The Kobalt beats all of them in the AI role, being excellent even at long range, but the Kobalt is still very good at fighting off ESF's and Harassers.

Fix'd

The Carv has more *Good luck your screwed" recoil while the NC have more *pull down on mouse and win* recoil.

TR sniper starting rifle.

KSR-35

TX2 Emperor.

It's an extended-mag Beamer with a slower fire rate.

.................

It's a worse Beamer.

To anyone who isn't a HA, the chaingun actually feels EXCESSIVELY usable when you use the resist shield.
Just a nice footnote.

Its actually somewhat celebrated TR-side.....

The more you know!

Lol at anyone who says the Solstice is bad.

Really? I love my pocket smg too much to use a semi auto pistol.

Clearly, anything that isn't currently overpowered is underpowered right?

I'd say this is one advantage the Vanu have as a faction, their starter weapons are actually (with some minor quibbles here and there) probably the best guns they can use. You can go through your whole career and other than a bolt action sniper rifle never need to buy an alternative infantry main weapon. Orion, Solstice and VS1 are all brilliant guns. Heck, even the Spectre is decent for a semi-auto.

Means you can save up your SC/Certs for the exotica (Launchers, MAX weapons and of course, replacing the Beamer)

Its funny that orion is considered the best VS short-range lmg, while carv being almost exactly the same, suddenly becomes the worst.

The CARV really? get out of those vehicles and learn to shoot lol

• VX29 Polaris
• Lasher
• Any Battle rifle
• Eridani
• Gauss SAW S
• EM1
• Any Burst-only weapon

uhm, carv has vertical recoil only, 750 rpm and a 100 round mag, i think it's actually quite good (but then i didn't play tr pre carv nerf)

Dual Pounder MAX
