Best and worst weapons
- Thread starter Galafrey
- Start date
Even if it hits, the DPS is really bad. I tried at point blank, so no miss, and the damage wasn't there.
Which mods would you recommend for the Oppressor? I G5'ed it, and it's currently empty waiting for some upgrades.This thread will be a classic once everyone realises how good the oppressor actually is. I give it 6 months
Again?
Stop measuring weapons against the hardest encounters - that is the High CZ.

IMO:
- Plasma weapons are quite ok-ish as they are. The low projectile speed is balancing things out pretty nice. Tormentor is the best obviously, but all of the plasma weapons have their roles and they're nice in their own way, without being really Overpowered
- Laser weapons are so-and-so. G5 Aphelion with headshot damage is pretty nice. Same goes for Zenith. The SMG is really Meh!
- Kinetics, again IMO, are the real losers here since they kinda struggles with shields and there is nothing that can up their damage against shields (similar to headshot for laser weapons).
I have a G5 L6 with audio masking, magazine size, stowed reloading and handling and it's pure joy. I just need to be careful not to shoot them in the face while we're in the hugging distance
Hip Fire Accuracy & Stability on mine. I think I have Reload speed but not sure if that's worthwhile. I'm keeping a slot open for Audio Masking if that ever gets possible.
Either you haven't played Planetside 2, or that's what you mean by "almost". Out there people complain about the SMGs.
I am using a Executioner, a TK Zenith and an Ar-50. Perfect combo to me.
Here let me paint you to death.
I mean, you could also beat NPCs to death with a floppy dead fish.First the NPCs laugh as I paintball them, then they dieAll weapons should be such fun
But sure, if you feel like you need an extra handicap, use the Oppressor instead of the fish.

I’m always a fan of figuring out weapon mods (ship and handheld) that turn the weapon into something effective that’s different from the original intent.
The Intimidator plus Accuracy, Scope and Range makes a paratrooper rifle, for instance. They are likely going to fix the spread bug, but even if they do it’s still deadly.
The TK Aphelion plus Scope, Range and Headshot makes a laser sniper.
Any other fun combinations?

Worst: kinetic and lazer weapons. Ship mechanic with "laser for shield, kinetic to hull" implemented to legs battle - it's just bad game design imo.
Best: plasma weapons. Only because they can bypass that wacky sort of game design.
Where is my railguns, kinetic equivalent of barret m82, beamguns and plasma rocket launchers?

I can only hope... (after a few balance passes, of courseThis thread will be a classic once everyone realises how good the oppressor actually is. I give it 6 months
)Actually - that's a great idea. I'd like to get an understanding of how others are utilizing the Oppressor - for those of you that can, can you upload some footage of you using an Oppressor? I'll start:
That G5 Oppressor has the following mods:
- Headshot Damage
- Scope
- Extended Magazine
It's decent... but could use a some improvement.
I suggest the Headshot mod at the least - it helps a little bit with the Oppressor's damage. I like having a scope on all of my weapons, so I put a Scope mod on mine; it does increase the perceived recoil, however. If you find its recoil to be too much, slap a stability mod on it.
My biggest issue is with the weapon sway, but that's not specific to just the Oppressor. Supposedly Yarden Bond has a Higher Accuracy mod that gets rid of that...
High CZs are where the most difficult enemies spawn and the absolute limits of our gear can be tested, and therefore where I can obtain some insight into what our weapons and suits can and cannot do. If not High CZs (which are very common throughout the Bubble), what should our weapons be balanced around?
Wat?
Wat²?This thread will be a classic once everyone realises how good the oppressor actually is. I give it 6 months
The weapons should be balanced for the average playing the average.
Also in a CZ you are not alone. Keep with the team and you'd be good with basically any weapon instead of Rambo everyone alone (although i still prefer the Tormentor)

For a high CZ the Oppressor looks ok-ish.
But I'd rather be using Tormentor - Intimidator - Executioner, or Tormentor - Intimidator - L6
