SAW is the only good LMG

[angryglock]

I have good examples of all the LMGs and they all pale in comparison to the SAW. How about a buff to the others? The Thunder's accuracy increase on sustained fire is really nice but the base damage is just too low. The SAW destroys it even with the SAW's recoil and slower RoF. The burst guns impulse between bursts and horrible accuracy make them unusable.

There are several ARs that are very good and three or four pistols as well but as it stands for LMGs it's the SAW all day every day.

The SAW is not the only good LMG. People really need to learn how the EMC LMG works. At range the EMC LMG will destroy a SAW operator all day. SAW is better in CQB.

The two are balanced pretty well.

It's the two burst LMGs that suck.

OP ... you know what happens when one gun is better than others?

Hint: the others are not buffed.

This is true. The EMC LMG needs a buff. I say faster reload to its basic stats. SAW needs more of a bloom to make it not as good outside of using it while overcharged. Maybe a tad bit longer reload to the SAW aswell. 400 base dmg along with automatic fire is pretty crazy so it needs to be unexcelled in other aspects.

What about the VOT LMG. Thing shoots all over the place with crap DMG and crap range. That thing got shafted.

I agree, though the semi auto ARs are death lasers. They complement the saws very well.

With crit perks and mods the saw is deadly close range and far range its really easy to claw the controller and fire a succession of quick rounds off into the head close up if you fire from the hip with the crit perk and standing still the rectical is small enough to be accurate enough to be devastating even zoomed in close range as long as your getting crits its powerful.

I got a purple thunder today with nice bonuses like 10% ego boost on reload but when looking at the stats I couldnt make an argument not to scrap it I would take the lower damage and mag if it had a better crit multiplier, for a small rof increase its really not worth it. Dont get me wrong I love snipers but I can use a Saw more effectively as a long range weapon and thats not a complaint its just a great all round gun.
