Please do not nurf the SAW

[Corvain]

This is a suggestion that the saw is not the issue, the other LMG's are the issue. A LMG should not be a Assult Rifle with a long clip and long reload.

Please do not touch the stats of the SAW but increase the stats on the other LMG's to bring them inline with the idea of a LMG.

Anyone reading this please post your thoughts and support if you wish. If this gets big enough possably it will be heard.

I agree with you!

The other LMGs all, all need a major buff. None of them are anything to write home about, whereas I found that the SAW performed, well, like a SAW should - powerful damage, long magazine, and all the appropriate drawbacks - hard to handle a weapon that big, long reload time.

The "Light" LMG is a joke, the VOT disruptor is even more of one. Seriously, it's not an LMG, it's a combat shotgun.

Heres what i think they should do-

Frc Saw-404 DMG ( which is already its base DMG )
VBI thunder- 350-375 DMG
Rocker-350 DMG which it already is.
VOT Disruptor- 250 DMG

Thats the way it SHOULD BE.
Edit- But then you would get the CRY BABIES CRYING ABOUT THESE STATS ALSO NERF THIS MOMMY NERF THAT MY BUTT NEEDS TO BE CHANGED WAH WAH WAH!

lol nice junior sized french cries. its just the SAW man, youll live.... i think in any case Defiance isn't even to the phase where you need an "endgame badass" weapon yet. as long as future DLC is coming and the game actually progresses seasons like the show, i bet you anything something waaay better will come along in the future. im curious about the volge lmg myself

[jbob spittlewop]

An lmg IS an "assault rifle" with an extended "clip" and DOES take longer to reload. People, please, TRY to understand. An lmg is a SUPPORT weapon, even in the discriptions in game it says this, it's not frickin Rambo time.

First off, why would we want the Disruptor to do potentially 750 damage per bullet?

and you realize that LMGs aren't super guns, right? they don't deal more damage than assault rifles do, as they share the same ammo IRL.

Plus, it would ruin a whole class if LMGs outperformed ARs by design.

Well a Assault Rifle is ment to be far more moble and mid to close range adaptable in comfrontations. A LMG is heavy suppressive fire and is ment to be slow in movement. I beleave the AR's should handle far better with target tracking and responsive controls when aimed but that is another thread.

LMGs are only heavy because they have to control recoil from their fire rate.

They don't fire larger rounds

I think what you're wanting is an actual Machine Gun, like they use on tanks
