Have you guys thought about making energy weapons consume more then 1 bullet? They are insanely overpowered

@Dragonl0rd4412 They are not overpowered at all. Do you even use them? It is insanely hard to hit someone accurately with a Havoc or L-Star. The recoil (both horizontal and vertical) is off the charts. I love the Havoc because its a good gun when you hit your shots and can be accurate. Trust me, there are times I hit nothing but air and later in the game have very little energy ammo because of it. There is nothing wrong with energy weapons.

@Dragonl0rd4412 thats strange, as I'm seeing lots of everything and always have the problem of being spoiled for choice. Im realy enjoying the LStar.

@Dragonl0rd4412 Yes I do think it needs a slight buff. Why aren't you complaining about the Spitfire too then? It is a far stronger and easier to use weapon. You played 4 matches, play some more. I play a lot. Some rounds, yes, all I see is energy ammo (and I think to myself, "wow, that would have been awesome last round"), but then there are rounds I play where yes there is zero energy ammo. You can't really base your argument on stuff like that due to the high level of randomness everything is. (IE drop zone, hot zone, num players in your area, what your squadmates are using, etc). I base my argument off of statistics that each weapon can deliver. The PK is another POS gun. In firing range, at the same distance, the mastiff does 10 more damage then PK (and that is without a choke). What kind of BS is that? Again, it deserves its own thread and I will make one once I get more data.

Bro are serious first off I shouldn't even be replying to you since you truly believe in your heart the L-star needs to be buffed.. Don't you know if everyone is using a particular gun it is op? Therefore my statement stands not to mention I have seen more energy ammo in all my matches and only seen 2 longbows and it took me 4 matches to even see a shotgun..

I been playing since the game came out but yes there are an abundance of spawn rates for the lstar and my point is that it is o p and it's evident by the usage rate per match. Literally everyone is using it in matches for a reason, it's the best gun if you are in close combat. as for the spitfire what do you want me to say about it, cause my opinion on spitfire is that it's in a perfect spot. Had they left the ammo at 60 w/ purple mag and left the fire rate the same it would be op like it was during release. Now again my statement stands on the L-star regardless of your 'training room tests' since training room doesn't account for fortified/low profile. So yes I do believe either nerf it, take it out, or put it back in as a game drop

Personally I would like to see the horizontal recoil reigned in just a little, increase the overheat just a little to compensate and reclassify as a SMG because it has a hard time hitting range, so it really does not need those stronger scopes, but the vertical recoil should still crazy erratic as the compensation to bring horizontal under control.

@SolitaryMassacre The Havoc is a difficult gun to use, but the L-Star is insanely OP! I mean, just crouch and hip fire the L-Star and you'll be insanely accurate while blinding enemies looking at you, the L-Star definitely needs a nerf, but the Havoc's fine where it is. Also, the crouch walk with Rev while hip firing the L-star is such an OP tactic! I downed a purple armor guy while I had no shields and then thirsted him for his shields (he had a Bique and the R-301), and I never actually took any damage. The Lstar needs a nerf, and not because I've been killed by it too often, but just because it's way too easy to kill anyone with it.

@SolitaryMassacre I think the L-Star should have a bit of a windup just like the other energy weapons.

@Robo_The_Man-Bot Well, if you haven’t been killed by it that often, it could just be a good weapon in the hands of a good player.
Also, I find that hip-firing the L-Star is actually very inaccurate, at least when I’m moving and stuff. Not sure why.
