VOT Disruptor, the worst LMG?

[Ralifur]

the disruptors I Have found usually fires 3 bullets at once which is why the bullet dmg is so low.

Nonetheless the spread is horrendous and therefore the gun is still trash.

Pretty much every lmg is trash in comparison to the SAW. hopefully the patch will make up for that

Bullet damage is 113. This weapons is best indicator that devs 1) don't play the game and 2) don't have any clues what to do with guns.

I'm not really into the exact names of guns and whatnot, i generaly devide LMG (and AR/SMG) in segments.

LMG (aka M246) - the basic 85-119 rounds 400ish damage version.
VOT LMG - the 'alien' version, gets smaller bloom when you shoot.
Burst LMG - havent seen this one much, but it shoots 3-6 (?) bullets per trigger.

But i gues i went wrong on the VOT one? Maybe thats EMC? *confused bigtime*

It does seem utterly useless. For that matter, so does that Votan sawed-off with the really wide, flat spread. Who wants to attack a group of enemies with a sawed-off?

Thats actually 1 of few guns allowing 1shoting ppl in PvP.

Fair enough, I don't actually do PvP. But wouldn' the ordinary sawed-off be better for that anyway, since the blast (and therefore damage concentration) is concentrated? What I'm referring to is that the damage spread is wide on the Votan ones, which is sort of counter-intuitive to the purpose of the gun since it puts less shot on one individual.

Shismar that was the Vot pulsar smg. Not the disruptor.

The VOT Disruptor fires bursts of 3, but a burst does 9 times 113 damage - one of these mechanics that aren't explained anywhere and have to be discovered. So one bullet of your 60 rounds mag actually does 339 damage, one press of the trigger does 1017.
I initially disliked the gun because it was so much different from the fully automatic Saw, but I have grown fond of it. The bursts are precise (when aiming at least) and, well, bursty. I do believe it delivers less consistent DPS than a Saw, but I like the Disruptor. It's just fun to use and works well with a cover reliant style.

Edit: The crit rate is terrible, fair enough. But when fending of a dozen dark matter/raiders/99ers, I'm not really going for head shots with my Saw either. 2-3 Disruptor bursts to the torso down most mobs and there's little chance of missing. Plus the 60 shot mag lasts for half a dozen kills before you have to reload.

In the ps3 beta(bear in mind old code) it was 116*3 but this was removed from the game. Im a big fan of the vot lmg but there dosent seen to be a vaition of it mostly all other guns have a diffent version of itself, but vot lmg is missing

[ocktos]

yes things were changed with that gun from the Alpha from way back in January... but if you keep fishing around you can find a mod that will restore that gun to its former glory... some of you might have seen or found theses mods and haven't understood how they work ( Burst/Auto ) mods

that and remember its really 116x9 in a burst... pair it up with high trigger effect / Dark matter / Radiation and you'll just about 2 shot any mob that enters your scope.. aside from a few elites and Boss mobs

but again ^^^ keep an eye out for those mods... and enjoy

This. During beta, the disruptor was arguably the best LMG available. The SAW was a slow shooter. The accuracy was not really great, but the burst was good. It was a decent weapon, any AR or SMG was better, but still, it was decent.
Then they nerfeed it to oblivion. Now, it's one of the worst weapon of the game, as it does little to no damage, with a slow rof (as you have to wait between burst).

They say they will nerf the SAW (less ROF), but buff the others LMG. I don't like them nerfing the SAW, but I hope they'll make the disruptor worth playing.

Overal its a decent weapon, but the main issue is the 1.1 crit dmg and the 200 bullet damage.

AR beats it handsdown, the smaller clip is easy compensated due the faster reload of AR.

its sad when you already know the damage of a wep... what happened to randomly generating stats for weps
