Minigun

I agree that some balancing needs to be done for FPSHG, and i have 2 points to bring up...

1) First of all, FPSHG is a new server. And as the wise Myortvye once told me, the first priority is fixing bugs and glitches, balancing comes with time. As the server gets older the settings and code will be fine tuned to accommodate the players and the guns will be balanced out.

2) I think that the only thing the minigun needs right now is a range nerf and a spawning nerf.
I get a minigun every single round that i play... It's kind of annoying actually. I want it to be a challenge not just putting a book on my mouse and walking away...
Also, once during a dm (on favela <3 ) I had a tier 4 LMG (forgot its name ;-; ) and i was waiting to kill the other person. I was in full diamond and the guy started spraying from across the map as i ran across the wide open area near the (red?) spawn area. I was killed in literally 2 seconds from across the map by this guys minigun. That's immensely unfair and needs to be fixed.
But as i said, balancing comes last.

 

A range and spawn rate nerf is needed. The range could use a good down grade, as well as the spawn rate.
This is just my opinion.

 

I personally think it if fine. I using minigun have been beat with others. I have beet others using Minigun.

 

The minigun's range is not the greatest to begin with. The spawn rate for it should be decreased, I agree with that.

 

I think the knock back on it is really annoying..

 

There are just to many of them that spawn. We need less.

 

To be perfectly honest, I think the minigun is okay. All that needs a change is decreasing its spawn rate. Killing a person with a minigun isn't that hard. Just run away and shoot a steady stream of bullets at them. Since minigun users are forced to stand still when shooting, they become an easy target.

 

Off topic:
And insteadmof just hitting agree you can restate exactly what I siad ;-;

On topic:
The general consenus appearsthat it needs a spawn rate nerf and possibly a range nerf...
Problem with running is that if they're any good, you're dead before you can run...

 

We could always give them a slowness effect if they are holding the gun. After all it's a huge minigun you are carrying.

Most of the time I don't see it as a problem but that's probably because I am more a sniper person

 

The weapon is fine in it of itself, but it is too easy to find.

Think of the barret. Finding that weapon is extremely rare, as I usually see a player having it every few matches. But in some death matches, every player left has a minigun of their own. If it be made to have only one or two in a game, it would be fine, since its rarity would counteract its power, like the barret.

 

That'd do nothing...
I would for instance, run around with a SAW then at the last second switch to minigun and kill someone then switch back and sprint away...
The only way to counteract this would be to make the switch between guns slower. But that would kill comboing and that would upset almost everyone...

 

The weapon does not need to be nerfed. It it would be made as rare as the barret, you would likely see it less in matches, and people would rely on LMGs like the SAW more.

 

That's exactly what i said when i was the second comment, just with the addition that it might also want a range nerf since it's only supposed to work at a small range and it goes further than it should...
But yeah, the only thing it really needs is a rarity buff...

 

The main issue is that it kills so quickly its difficult for less skilled players to properly react...
And some first time player can kill a pro if they catch the pro sorting through the inventory of his 25th kill of the game and win that way...

 

Using a sniper rifle against a minigun can be particularly difficult because that slight knock back the minigun causes can be just enough to throw off your aim, which really can't be helped.

 

Yeah... The solution: don't get hit.
The other problem: the minigun has such a wide spread it hits anyway...
