    Bmg needs a serious dmg boost, its supportive abilities does not justify its non-existant dps.
    its out of topic but did you hit 10 with BMG?
    did ya just damage or heal also increase skill?

    Turn on the combat damage option. You'll see what they do.

    I used to think infectors were not very good too until I found a VBI INF-3 Canker. Get one your opinion will change as mine did.

    The Canker was the only infector I decided to mod, all lvl 2 and 3 mods, it still really sucked lol It produced no bugs. I do enjoy watching the bugs scatter around and home in on unsuspecting targets, though. The Outbreaker is my fav so far. I'm only trying to level infectors to 10 for the Commando challenge.

    Ya really not happy with the upcoming patch notes. Nerfing infector because of PvP...so lame. In PvE 9/10 you can kill something faster with an AR or LMG as it is without the nerf..

    I have come to love the infectors. I use one coupled with a pump shotty and blur. Basically a chian reaction of guy infected, guy gets killed by shotty, bugs weaken other guys who get infected and then die and so on and so on. It works out really well, not to mention I get a bonus melee dmg of 45% with one of them + the perks.

    I think you may be mistaken, though it does say in the description that it produces no bugs it still does. Try it and you'll see.

    Didn't they already nerf infectors a bit??

    The canker will spawn bugs on the death of the infected mob, vs the others that spawn bugs while the mob is still alive.

    Infectors have the cool factor going for them, definitely the most unique gun in the game, but they just aren't competitive with other guns in PvE. Doesn't mean they aren't viable, certainly not optimal though.

    In PvP they are silly, that's well known at this point, but yes the PvP nerf applying to PvE is bad since they aren't great in PvE right now.
