@@Timoruz Yep mine goes Orion then Gauss Saw.. For Auraxium weapons its Betelguese at rank 7, then Godsaw at 64. Commisioner is 6th, everyone always gets those damn headshots on me when I play infiltrator.
@@tommys.3491 Then the worst is when you die during the ammo animation, so now your ammo pack is bugged and you can't drop any until you log out/in again.
Being able to take a brute force and make it more undetectable can be really powerful though. It's like an infiltrator getting the jump on people but with more survive-ability
Two important aspects of the NC Pheonix he did not mention: - Hitting the T key while piloting the rocket enables a 3rd person chase camera. - Phoenix rockets CAN be shot down by enemy weapons. While the rocket is not destroyed, it is knocked severely off course which most of the time results in the projectile missing its intended target.
The true secret to be a pro at this game: - get a super expensive pc - have a stabile 60 fps - destroy every other player because they have 10-20 fps when the fight gets big and they won't even really see you coming. - enjoy being a pro
Speaking of being a spearhead, sometimes its best to flank and you just said that, I flanked a entire enemy squad on a point as they were distracted by my friendlies at Lithcorp and mowed them all down, only a NSO player knew I was behind them. It was amazing.
I always run Regen+Assimilate cause you can never count on a medic being there when you need them. Regen also gives +50HP upon headshot kills so it energizes perfectly with Assimilate and Adrenaline shield.
Infil guide for gameplay right now: Don't. Infil meta right now is to semi auto spam doorways like your sniper rifle is the lasher... SMGs are out classed by most guns in the game, so get used to using your comissioner/underboss in cqc, I suggest the vandal for mid-long range if you dont want to use a bolt action, though the bishop and obelisk are also good choices too. Dont bother with the dragoon, the vandal is just a better DMR. bishop and obelisk are only viable because of their unique mechanics such as overpenetrating ammo for groups when you get a flank or the unlimited ammo and no bullet drop. Hunter cloak all day, recon device doesn't make much difference, unless you're running bolt action, athlete and survivalist is a stupid good combo with adrenaline shield cause fast movement is very powerful for escaping after picking a target or to flank around an enemy before they have a chance to move. resto kits are dumb cause thats more time you spend uncloaked, leave proxy mines to engineer cause you will need the med kits, power knife is okay if you're into that but i like to run the everquest directive knife incase i kill a tank pilot i can knife his tank to death. Headshots are absolutely necessary, staying in one place is death, try to engage targets on your terms because infil is not a good reactionary playstyle platform. Know your maps and typical lines of engagements so you can predict enemy movements making it easier to get flanks. remember your cloak doesn't make you invisible just more difficult to track, people can still collide with you and see your outline through the cloak. Maxed recon is ideal, I like to use the little recon towers and place them near the point. Mostly Just for the XP because once you are good at knowing the typical lines of attack its almost instinctual knowing where people are going to be. Dont get focused too much on a particular target, if you have to chase them to get the kill, don't. they are typically running twards allies.
Imma be honest. I think Heavy assault is completely irrelevant as an anti vehicle class unless you can coordinate 4 or 5 friends to fire at the same time, cause the vehicles will simply retreat when damaged, and are alot faster than you. Meanwhile, Light assault just needs to jump jet onto you, place its C4, and you're history. It's still great against infantry though, but borderline useless for anti vehicle, unless you count landmines. And it just so happens that Engineers do landmines better than Heavy, so yeah..
Not entirely irrelevant... Good enough to deter tanks and cause them to back up. That being said, the new guns deter tanks better than the heavies rockets now
One of the things that I used to do when I played (been years since I've logged in), esp. when I was able to coordinate with a squad, was Suppressing fire, if you can keep the enemy from peaking over their cover by threatening them with bullets, you can limit their situational awareness and give your teammates the opportunity to flank or rush down by keeping the enemy in position. Sometimes its even enough to help keep an ally alive by forcing the enemy back into cover. It wasn't always the smartest move for me, because it can make me a priority target (because they can see me on their mini-map), but it did give me some way to assist the push. If you can't aim for crap, then this is one thing you can do when you feel like your just combat ineffective. I dont' remember if there's ribbons for it, but with the large mags for the LMG, it is something you can do so that the light assaults can maybe get into a better position. Idk how effective this still is in current game, but it was something I used to do that used to work at times.
Surpressing fire works great, the noise and tracers can also distract enemies to let your allies flank them. Usually enemies will be focussed on you, waiting for you to stop shooting so they can peek you, so you can also bait by shooting for a few seconds, then stopping, then shooting again expecting them to peek out.
No words about the ' VS advenced weapon lock mode ' ? Lasher+thumper+déci+C4 and grenade bando ... I like waiting in the warpgate for my Gear to be active !
Can you do something on recoil management? I really struggle with that and seeing you just use the naginata without any recoil is so mind blowing to me. Can you maybe do a video on that?
Heavy main here :D. NS weapons such as the Naginata have very minimal recoil but sacrifice DPS. Guns like the anchor, msw, orion have insane DPS but often very difficult recoil. Best solution is to practice with the weapon in VR training. There are several drills you can do if you are interested. Another solution is just popping a forward grip on, which limits horizontal recoil. Also it can depend on your sensitivity. Recommend looking up conflictt’s infantry fundamentals for more information on that.
@@shakinbaker21 thy i already lowered my sensitivity to 0.048 and i have no problem with that, however i have a shit-ton of horozontal recoil and he doesnt seem to have ANY
@@cooltv2776 Just give it a while. Techno is the single most reliable rez on Connery. If you play VS, he will find you and rez you. End of story. Techno is awesome.
Great video as always. A few comments: - Happy to see some play with VS weapons. It’s so common to see the top streamers and content creators mowing people down with the NC and TR weapons, for those of us who struggle to recreate those moments of mayhem with the Orion, appreciate seeing it. - Time 16:30 a great example of why not to get cocky - you can talk up the Heavy Assault as being a badass, but you’re at full health and die in just about 1 second. Welcome to Planetside, TTK is dramatically low no matter who you are :) - The rundown on rocket launchers was super helpful. I’ve always struggled to understand the variances of all of them in a structured way. Thanks again!
I find the Orion VS54 an extremely hard weapon to kill things with. I'm a BR 65. I've been playing PlanetSide 2 for quite a few years now. and have taken just as many breaks from the game. So I frequently forget the strengths of my weapons, which usually causes me to cycle out guns from my kits, to find out which gun has better damage potential regardless of whether I read the patch notes or not. The Orion VS54 is not part of any of my kits The Pulsar LSW is my highest killing weapon so far. With 680 kills and 129 of those are head shots. Yes, there are pretty bad stats, but that's for an average player. Don't spend your DBC yet. I got most of those kills pre-tutorial updates. This is 2021 and The Flare VE6 is doing quite well now seems very effective at close and medium ranges. You will probably want to check the weapon stats to see if it's a viable weapon for a beginner, as I play by feel not by numbers.
honest question, i thought NC was supposed to have high recoil? After looking at the replays you displayed here, your NC guns have more accuracy than my lancer lol. Am I missing something here?
This is just a suggestion, but you guys thing the Resist Shield should have a lower debuff in the speed department, since you basically get a resistance buff instead of negate damage
Cami have you thought about doing an in depth roundup of all the launches? Also, seems like people used to say there's another benefit to Resist Shield, something I think you may not have mentioned...but I can't remember lol. Added headshot resistance I think? I vaguely remember some used to say that was the go-to HA shield.
resist shield is a flat damage reduction, it reduces all damage types including headshots, but headshots will do more damage than bodyshots still as the headshot multiplier is still there. You can actually see in the video him taking a bolt action to the face and surviving at roughly 25:35 in the video, i think it was one of the weaker sniper rifles which does 650 damage which with the headshot multiplier of 2.1 for the m77b gives you 887 damage dealt within 10 meters
While Flare machinegun on VS is often talked down, I quite liked it's slower fire rate and it's become my favourite of the 4 I used. I had one moment where in a blinding rage I mowed down half a squad when I dropped down from above - the last enemy died to the very last bullet.
If you don’t have the Battle Goose, either the Orion or the SVA are the best guns, depending on range and preferences. Flare isn’t bad, and really does excel at longer range engagements, but it’s just outdone in close range fights by the Orion or SVA.
I don't understand, every video I watch you have like absolutely 0 recoil on your guns! I'm on pc and I can't figure it out. That and it seems like your characters are all so agile! You can flick your characters back and forth, side to side. I try so hard to mimick your moves but it's like my characters do not have any of those abilities. I am level 18 btw, does that matter??
I'm rank 45 and I don't have any of these implants besides Assimilate and Survivalist. I am at the point where I should be burning certs to roll the dice on more implants? I've probably bought 3 or 4 deluxe packs in the past.
Don't worry about it being to Long. As you said time to stop now I thought "huh rather short video" the information is so dencely shown that length doesnt Mather.
How about after the arsenal update remaking your class guides? bunch of us returning or new players dont have have much recent to go off, and you do such a great job
tried HAs. if the reticle worked right, I'd see where my bullets would go..nah. Sticking to support classes. Have some ammo, that system at least works in PS 2.
*RECOMMENDATION* For defending points on Vanu, do not use Polaris, it's probably the worst weapon on the faction. Flare or Pulsar LSW with extended mags are the better pick. I prefer the former.
You press "F" button for both your Overshield ability, and to pay respects to any medic/engi/light assault/infiltrator/sometimes max in your way (because they are most likely dead).
Hmmm, confused about why you're running 120 FOV with 1x red dot when all the best players are known to play at 60-80... I can't stand that low of an FOV as it makes me dizzy so I go as low as I can (90) and run 3.4x to compensate for head-shot potential.
First gripe is against tip number 6, and thanks to the decimator meta i have switch to always running flak armor on my max units so it doesnt really both me at all, as for "slapping esfs" if they are a good pilot your not gonnna hit them at all or even come close, (side note yes the decimator does some damage to flax max but i have proven time and time again that pulling out your launcher on me gifts me a kill on you as your shot aint gonnna kill me.
Also add that crouching into oncoming fire especially for those that ive learned from and trained is not a good idea (insert free headshots here for all that aim center mass)
@@groothorty4566 The only people that are actual threats are ones that can aim and hit the head, so crouching might give you a 1-2 bullet advantage in a firefight which often means the difference between using a medkit or seeing a respawn screen.
Inb4 heavy easy mode, remove heavys, everyone is heavy, wow heavy spam, nerf heavys, remove shield comments Ps: if you don't have a primary AND secondary jackhammer loadout are you really NC?
That moment when your heavy infantry team mate gets killed my a literal orbital strike because the enemy team got bored *Insert jpeg of screaming hamster holding a smg*
Really fun loadout is symbiote+assimilate, asc, and adrenaline shield. Opens up a super aggressive play style with you getting back 200 shield+54% adrenaline shield back for headshot kills, plus the asc means any downtime in fights is likely to recharge your shield. Can easily clear a room with some good corner cutting and then lock it down as enemies respawn and trickle into you.
Even tho I know most of the stuff, nonetheless I enjoyed the video, i'll share my personal loadout -name: Pusher -Ability: Adrenaline shield (maxed out) -weapon: MG Promise (or its counterparts) / NSX Naginata (if you're low on certs) weapons should be equipped with flash suppresor and foregrip and NSNV scope -secondary: Hunter QCX bow with smoke darts (you see where i am going) -grenade: Stun -Medkits -ovearhead shield -implant: Sidewinder (max level) Assimilate ( level 4 minimum) Alley, doorway, room, bridge(my fav), staircase .... just pop a smoke and rain bullets on them trust me you'll easily get 10+ kills and help your mates in tight spot as the name indicate "Pusher", be aware tho that your shield if it breaks it will not start by itself and it will constantly recharge as you are chaining kills, and if some smarty try to use thermal optics to detect you behind the smoke, you have sidewinder that leave you clod blooded
I uh I wanna know where the durability of this class is. Rank 6 on PS4, and I have maybe 25 kills total? Usually I run into the combat zone, face the enemy, and get utterly annihilated by some guy in about two seconds
To be honest, welcome to Planetside, the best way for that to stop happening is practice practice practice, stick with it and you’ll start to see a noticeable improvement
William Healey I actually have noticed a significant improvement from when I first started. Excepting the massive stalemates I sometimes find myself in, like last night at TI Alloys Inc between the TR and VS while NC tried to get in on it(it was like thirty, thirty, twenty and it was fun until we couldnt get into the point room and a Max event started), I can go for at least three or four kills before someone gets me. My best streak was twenty in one life, but that was as an Infiltrator camped away from the fight and aiming at a door as we bullied the VS off the point.
are you sure that AA lockons do direct damage also or do they only do splash damage from flak? I remember that they don't and flak does only additional damage due to resistances to aircraft. Because decimators OHK ESFs and they don't do flak but overall have same damage as AA lockons.
I honestly wish the Heavy wasn't a close quarters to mid range stomper. It's literally the Vanguard "I win" button except for infantry. I actually don't have as much of a problem fighting heavy assaults but my friends certainly do, and I can see why they complain so much. I've always told them "use light assault or infil and aim for the head" and for whatever reason they're the ones that run into those guys that play nothing but LA1 Anchor heavies. There are quite a few people on the Emerald server that are within top 100, and they have more kills on either the LA1 Anchor, MSW-R or Orion than every other weapon they ever used combined (one of the dudes on my friend's list has over 50,000 kills on the LA-1 Anchor alone). There's almost no use taking many of any other class if you're locking down a point or charging a point, like you might have 3 medics, an engie and a MAX, and then 12 heavy assaults. Heavy assaults got the LMGs which handle pretty much as fast as assault rifles, deal very similar damage, but have much larger magazine sizes. Plus, with the Adrenaline shield and Assimilation combo, literally as long as your last bullet on a kill is a headshot you can kill ridiculous amounts of people even when theres 2-3 of them at once shooting at you. My suggestion for the heavy assault? Make it like an actual irl heavy gunner. A SAW operator is not going to be running and gunning in close quarters just spraying everywhere, the SAW is a mid to long range suppression weapon that needs to be guarded by others in close range. I'd like for it to be a more defensive class, which means completely shitting on the mobility, handling and hipfire of LMGs, however, lowering the recoil and reducing cone of fire bloom and first shot cone of fire. I'd still let the heavy have an overshield with about the same strength, however make that overshield have a considerable delay to turn on, just like there's a shield regen delay on every other class, which forces you to take a good position before starting to spray. It's no longer a class that takes no brain to play (let's be honest here, heavy is by far the easiest class to get kills with) and makes you seriously consider your surroundings before you engage overshield and start firing.
Yeah man this is such a good suggestion. HA is insanely efficient in cqc fights. Worst of all is like you said they make MAXes look like chumps especially NC ones

Hello. I noticed that the model of your gun is reduced, and your fov is big. How did you do that?
20:03 I know this video is long so let's talk about how long the video is to make it even longer.

You will probably want to check the weapon stats to see if it's a viable weapon for a beginner, as

@@CAMIKAZE78 No, no, no... You're the legend sir! The PS2 community is bloody lucky to have you creating this epic content for us! keep it coming
I haven't played in a while, is the NC Saw-s no longer a viable primary weapon?
Its decent, the gun u wanna stay away from when using nc lmgs is the em1. Terrible weapon in my opinion
You forgot to mention that the Resist shield is the only one that protects you from a sniper headshot
Man I miss to alloys
Was a awesome 3 way. Much better then the crown as a 3 way
Agreed - setting up on the 2nd floor of the spawn as a sniper nest, merrily Bishoping the uphill strugglers. Good times. 👌😎
Awe I thought this game was dead. It's great to see such skilled players
This guide was very helpful thank you!
This is just a suggestion, but you guys thing the Resist Shield should have a lower debuff in the speed department, since you basically get a resistance buff instead of negate damage
Favorite planetside 2 youtuber, keep coming with the content!
heavy assault is the most no brain class I've ever seen in any game ever
You've not played teamfortress 2 then

Someone got farmed.
Cami have you thought about doing an in depth roundup of all the launches?
Also, seems like people used to say there's another benefit to Resist Shield, something I think you may not have mentioned...but I can't remember lol. Added headshot resistance I think? I vaguely remember some used to say that was the go-to HA shield.
resist shield is a flat damage reduction, it reduces all damage types including headshots, but headshots will do more damage than bodyshots still as the headshot multiplier is still there. You can actually see in the video him taking a bolt action to the face and surviving at roughly 25:35 in the video, i think it was one of the weaker sniper rifles which does 650 damage which with the headshot multiplier of 2.1 for the m77b gives you 887 damage dealt within 10 meters
While Flare machinegun on VS is often talked down, I quite liked it's slower fire rate and it's become my favourite of the 4 I used. I had one moment where in a blinding rage I mowed down half a squad when I dropped down from above - the last enemy died to the very last bullet.
If you don’t have the Battle Goose, either the Orion or the SVA are the best guns, depending on range and preferences. Flare isn’t bad, and really does excel at longer range engagements, but it’s just outdone in close range fights by the Orion or SVA.
@@XpliCTPaiN Pulsar LSW is a strictly better SVA. SVA is garbage now and has been for at least 2 years.
Cami: Don’t waste your medkits
Also Cami: 23:36
Dash he probably expected to take more damage than he actually did. Anyway, its better to use your medsticks while youre alive than to die with 3 left
nitus And when he whips out his C4 at 26:55 and spams the detonate trying to heal himself
Dash ive done that alot more than id like to admit too lol
nitus my personal favorite is pressing F as an infiltrator to activate my overshield in a fight
I don't understand, every video I watch you have like absolutely 0 recoil on your guns! I'm on pc and I can't figure it out. That and it seems like your characters are all so agile! You can flick your characters back and forth, side to side. I try so hard to mimick your moves but it's like my characters do not have any of those abilities. I am level 18 btw, does that matter??
I'm rank 45 and I don't have any of these implants besides Assimilate and Survivalist. I am at the point where I should be burning certs to roll the dice on more implants? I've probably bought 3 or 4 deluxe packs in the past.
Don't worry about it being to Long. As you said time to stop now I thought "huh rather short video" the information is so dencely shown that length doesnt Mather.
how can i get more implants? last time i played was from alert missions.. but now?or only for zerts?
Heavys in a nutshell: You are up against the wall and I am the fucking wall!
Did they remove the extra ability recharge on assimilate for headshot kills?
Thank you!
What are some of your mouse settings for in game?
If your an infiltrator and your handy with the knife or sniper heavies make for nice plump targets
How about after the arsenal update remaking your class guides? bunch of us returning or new players dont have have much recent to go off, and you do such a great job
Does Symbiote implant stack with Nanite Mesh Generator?
I would love to see updates too these guides
Launchers... infantry AA capability is still a joke. And tower/base AA. And skyguard too.
i love resist shield+flak armour
Ahh yes, the only acceptable playstyle, according to the Planetside subreddit.
am I not able to save this one to playlist for later? why is that?
tried HAs. if the reticle worked right, I'd see where my bullets would go..nah. Sticking to support classes. Have some ammo, that system at least works in PS 2.
Bro what is your square scope at 21:13 pls i need to know i can't find it in game :(
Maybe i can't get it bcs i'm TR.. so idk maybe theres' an equivalent bcs i love your optic
"with your LMG of +50 rounds" *cries in *beatleguese*
Yaay, bc 70% of players being HAs wasnt enough now we will have 90%
In that vanu footage what was letting u shoot infenitly with heat instead of ammo
The directive LMG for the Vanu, the Betelgeuse. It's an orion that uses heat instead of ammo.
Camikaze78: Be sure to hit that like button for more content!
Me: *Equips Desiccator* Hopefully i won't destroy it
*RECOMMENDATION* For defending points on Vanu, do not use Polaris, it's probably the worst weapon on the faction. Flare or Pulsar LSW with extended mags are the better pick. I prefer the former.
*Nitus got mentioned
*VitaminPutin and Laist want to know your location.
You press "F" button for both your Overshield ability, and to pay respects to any medic/engi/light assault/infiltrator/sometimes max in your way (because they are most likely dead).
kudos, on the timestamp addition ;)
Question. Will this game ever be on Xbox one?
Hmmm, confused about why you're running 120 FOV with 1x red dot when all the best players are known to play at 60-80... I can't stand that low of an FOV as it makes me dizzy so I go as low as I can (90) and run 3.4x to compensate for head-shot potential.
First gripe is against tip number 6, and thanks to the decimator meta i have switch to always running flak armor on my max units so it doesnt really both me at all, as for "slapping esfs" if they are a good pilot your not gonnna hit them at all or even come close, (side note yes the decimator does some damage to flax max but i have proven time and time again that pulling out your launcher on me gifts me a kill on you as your shot aint gonnna kill me.
Also add that crouching into oncoming fire especially for those that ive learned from and trained is not a good idea (insert free headshots here for all that aim center mass)
@@groothorty4566 The only people that are actual threats are ones that can aim and hit the head, so crouching might give you a 1-2 bullet advantage in a firefight which often means the difference between using a medkit or seeing a respawn screen.
Inb4 heavy easy mode, remove heavys, everyone is heavy, wow heavy spam, nerf heavys, remove shield comments
Ps: if you don't have a primary AND secondary jackhammer loadout are you really NC?
Can you equip 2 jackhammers if you have the Anniversary edition?
@@leroyj9044 yes
*Laughs in Jackhammer loadout*
On TR i occasionally use double pump shotties with nightmare and athlete. makes people very mad
@@leroyj9044 now that's what I like to hear
What're you guys favorite class to play? Or the class you are having most fun with? I'm asking to everyone reading this.
How do you have the jackhammer as your second weapon?
ASP points let you use heavy weapons in the secondary slot.
I have question how can the heavy Assault rub so fast in the game? Like In 18:40
At the beginning of the video, that MAX decided to ruin your day......by blocking!!!
Question what faction are you
That moment when your heavy infantry team mate gets killed my a literal orbital strike because the enemy team got bored
*Insert jpeg of screaming hamster holding a smg*
Still haven't bought Concussions after 1100 hours of the game. Why?
The AV grenades look like Stielhandgranates. Concs not even a choice, my guy.
Really fun loadout is symbiote+assimilate, asc, and adrenaline shield.
Opens up a super aggressive play style with you getting back 200 shield+54% adrenaline shield back for headshot kills, plus the asc means any downtime in fights is likely to recharge your shield. Can easily clear a room with some good corner cutting and then lock it down as enemies respawn and trickle into you.
Even tho I know most of the stuff, nonetheless I enjoyed the video,
i'll share my personal loadout
-name: Pusher
-Ability: Adrenaline shield (maxed out)
-weapon: MG Promise (or its counterparts) / NSX Naginata (if you're low on certs) weapons should be equipped with flash suppresor and foregrip and NSNV scope
-secondary: Hunter QCX bow with smoke darts (you see where i am going)
-grenade: Stun
-Medkits
-ovearhead shield
-implant: Sidewinder (max level) Assimilate ( level 4 minimum)
Alley, doorway, room, bridge(my fav), staircase .... just pop a smoke and rain bullets on them trust me you'll easily get 10+ kills and help your mates in tight spot as the name indicate "Pusher", be aware tho that your shield if it breaks it will not start by itself and it will constantly recharge as you are chaining kills, and if some smarty try to use thermal optics to detect you behind the smoke, you have sidewinder that leave you clod blooded
Everyone: Press F to win
Me, an intellectual: Press F
Go in
Don't die
Just win
Of all the launchers, why is c4 the best?
RIP TI Alloys land bridge! 2020
What is with the FOV? it feels wider than normal?
He has a video up talking about his FOV and how to change it in game. IIRC, he runs at 110 FOV
Godsaw, anchor or EM1 what the best?
T9
What kind of heavy assault uses a launcher other than the KRAKEN? 😂😂
I uh
I wanna know where the durability of this class is.
Rank 6 on PS4, and I have maybe 25 kills total? Usually I run into the combat zone, face the enemy, and get utterly annihilated by some guy in about two seconds
To be honest, welcome to Planetside, the best way for that to stop happening is practice practice practice, stick with it and you’ll start to see a noticeable improvement
William Healey I actually have noticed a significant improvement from when I first started. Excepting the massive stalemates I sometimes find myself in, like last night at TI Alloys Inc between the TR and VS while NC tried to get in on it(it was like thirty, thirty, twenty and it was fun until we couldnt get into the point room and a Max event started), I can go for at least three or four kills before someone gets me. My best streak was twenty in one life, but that was as an Infiltrator camped away from the fight and aiming at a door as we bullied the VS off the point.
Super video! I applauded for $2.00 👏
Watching this vid in 2021...
Rip Ti Alloys
are you sure that AA lockons do direct damage also or do they only do splash damage from flak? I remember that they don't and flak does only additional damage due to resistances to aircraft. Because decimators OHK ESFs and they don't do flak but overall have same damage as AA lockons.
Flak effect on dumbfired anti air launcher? What?
I honestly wish the Heavy wasn't a close quarters to mid range stomper. It's literally the Vanguard "I win" button except for infantry. I actually don't have as much of a problem fighting heavy assaults but my friends certainly do, and I can see why they complain so much. I've always told them "use light assault or infil and aim for the head" and for whatever reason they're the ones that run into those guys that play nothing but LA1 Anchor heavies. There are quite a few people on the Emerald server that are within top 100, and they have more kills on either the LA1 Anchor, MSW-R or Orion than every other weapon they ever used combined (one of the dudes on my friend's list has over 50,000 kills on the LA-1 Anchor alone). There's almost no use taking many of any other class if you're locking down a point or charging a point, like you might have 3 medics, an engie and a MAX, and then 12 heavy assaults. Heavy assaults got the LMGs which handle pretty much as fast as assault rifles, deal very similar damage, but have much larger magazine sizes. Plus, with the Adrenaline shield and Assimilation combo, literally as long as your last bullet on a kill is a headshot you can kill ridiculous amounts of people even when theres 2-3 of them at once shooting at you.
My suggestion for the heavy assault? Make it like an actual irl heavy gunner. A SAW operator is not going to be running and gunning in close quarters just spraying everywhere, the SAW is a mid to long range suppression weapon that needs to be guarded by others in close range. I'd like for it to be a more defensive class, which means completely shitting on the mobility, handling and hipfire of LMGs, however, lowering the recoil and reducing cone of fire bloom and first shot cone of fire. I'd still let the heavy have an overshield with about the same strength, however make that overshield have a considerable delay to turn on, just like there's a shield regen delay on every other class, which forces you to take a good position before starting to spray. It's no longer a class that takes no brain to play (let's be honest here, heavy is by far the easiest class to get kills with) and makes you seriously consider your surroundings before you engage overshield and start firing.
no
Do whatever, just change HA pls
Yeah man this is such a good suggestion. HA is insanely efficient in cqc fights. Worst of all is like you said they make MAXes look like chumps especially NC ones
