PLEASE STOP USING THEM AT SEIGES!!!! you just make a game which already struggles with so many people in one place glitch a lot more. Also a lmg is just as good if not better

People think just because they can hit more than one target at a time then they will score more points in the end. I say let them keep using the detonators, cuz I keep coming in 1st or 2nd almost every siege (if I get there within a couple minutes of it starting) with my AR. I've gotten some really really nice shields in these positions and only some 'eh ones coming in below (may be my luck, and position may not have anything to do with siege rewards).
you know someone needs to make a thread and tell all the rest of us just what weapon we CAN use at what event. it dont matter where we are in the game someone always has something to say about the gun we use. what power we can or cant use or how we dont play the game like someone else.
mabe we should just point at stuff and say bang bang your dead.
what ever event you are in a lmg is always is always the best really. I use either my ar or my saw depending on the situation with normally a bmg as a secondary (as I use a high capacity shield with a 9 sec delay... bmg recharge my shield if I am getting to damaged) and I do fine. I never really die.. is a perfect combo. Also in pvp most people use infectors as they don't really need to aim but I've found smg's are great in pvp just because they have a immense rapid fire and it goes through their shield like it aint even there. But yea a thread about it would be good but I don't think I would be the person for it as I haven't really had loads of experience with all weapons in each event, I mean I've levelled them all up quite a bit but that's from farming a hulker or from using them on boss's.
I think LMGs are completely overrated. Good damage, but the bloom and recoil mean you have to be pretty close to get maximum effectiveness. I'll take an orange AR over an orange LMG anyday. Hardly any recoil, tighter shot groups (bloom) make it good at further ranges, and if you are lucky you can get +mag bonuses and be close to what a SAW has ammo wise (my AR has 63 rounds standard) but you will hit faster and farther and have a quicker reload. Plus compare the stats of an orange AR to the SAW or other LMG. ARs tend to get an extra bonus. I use my AR in sieges and arkfalls and more often than not place top 3 (mostly 1-- anyone who knows me and have done these with me can attest for it). Hands down, most damaging weapon for my playstyle and preference is an AR (VBI AR to be specific).
Then again, coming from a military background, a SAW is more of a punishment than a blessing. You haul a 27 Lb weapon on a 15km ruckmarch. I'm just talking the weapon alone, not even the full combat load (ammo) which is distributed over 2 people. Usually, the platoon sergeants will find the smallest, weakest female to carry that thing. And when she falls out of the ruckmarch (quits, can't continue, etc) that doesn't mean that the weapon leaves the ruckmarch. Just hope you aren't anywhere close to that person when they fall out or you will be carrying it PLUS your 8 Lb rifle (that starts to feel like 50 at about the 10 mile mark).
but what im saying who has the right to tell another person what gun to use? if you buy your own game and like your gun should you have the right to use it? should i have the right to tell you not to use the lmg or your saw? its gets down to too many people trying to tell others what to do.
as far as i know there is no set rules on what guns to use in this game. i use a sub and bmg most of the time so why dont you just use what i want you to? what if i made a thread and said ( please dont use lmgs anymore)? do i have the right to tell you that?
if i want to use a detonater at a seige you or anyone else should not have a problem with that. if i want to use a bug gun in pvp then i should have the right to.
Use whatever works best for you. I use a flare gun and a detonator and am normally in the top 3 if I get there at the start. I have a feeling anyone who can get in the top can get there with almost any weapon they are comfortable with. It's the finger on the trigger, not the gun in most cases.
What I am really curious about.... the people using BMGs.... How effective are they in a siege? I can't imagine that they are all that good.
I use a Techmag Pulsar & a Stingray BMG with +1 links and if I get there right at start,I am normally in top 3. People can say BMG don't do much damage but with links, its aoe, and mine is a constant tick of 48 or more on up to 10 things at once, I sure get attention, and it doesn't miss... lmg and so on can miss.
Plus my smg has lots of crit on it (recently maxed it and got +5% crit from hip which always helps). I used to use a SAW but i prefer the lack of bloom on pulsars, they are point and click.. recoil is a problem at first but once you level them up it becomes less of an issue. Its nothing compared to SAW. They don't appear to do much damage but once they crit its another story.
Detonators is hit and miss really.
