Thread: Heavy Acid Rifle Specials to slow
Take my pistoleer/bh pistol line friend. Double taps for around 2k dmg. Take my Heavy Acid Rifle. I normally hit for 1k area. Now, i do it every 4 seconds. He can do his every 1 second. Now, i know, i wasn't using my special shot. So, i do. I hit for 2.9k, not bad, then i wait and i wait. 15 seconds later, i get to shoot again for 900. Thats is a grand total dmg of 3.8k, OVER 15 seconds. Now, in that same time he can shot double tap about 14 times. Lets say ALL of them are bad,1.2k dmg a hit. That is 18k dmg. That is around 4 timesas much dmg as THE HEAVY WEAPONS EXPERT. And only 4 times if the pistoleer does badly. I am not saying i want to be uber, but at least useful in all my weapons. Now, another example, kept in the Commando prof., I shot for 900 to 1200 every shot i hit, every 4.1 seconds. Now, i use my special shot. For the HAR. I hit for 2.9k best,every 15 seconds, IF, big IF, i dont miss. In that same time i could fire 3 times, morechances to hit, which is a problem with the special shot. Doing,say an average of 1k a hit, soover 3k dmg,with a 4th shot coming closely behind. So their is no practical use of the special shot. Don't use it, have a better chance of hitting at least once, and dont worry about the HAM loss.
you must not be a master or are you????
HAR is not powerfull and is a alternet attack damage gun for me atleast...................
at master my specials are ehhh give or take 8 second for flamer and 6 -7 for HAR givin the 3.7 speed slice....
at novice you have no + in speed or accuacy what you expect????? you must suffer threw the waits of specials right now givein no armor or resistances im hittin for 20k damage + flame dot... 2 shots 16 seconds flame thrower pve HAR given no resistances i would say give ot take 13k same 2 shots in 13 seconds or so..
sorry but you have to suffer i did for awhile and you will still have a wait to about tear 3 or so then its under 10sec and is acceptable

My HAR specials have at least twice as long a delay as my flamethrower. And I have a 3.7 speed slice as well. The gun is junk IMO. Even for alternate damage the accuracy is awful against anything that moves. I really wish something would come from the developers about what, or if, they plan on doing to the HAR line, as well as the Field Tactics line.
