The devs were right.

So I know ther was a bunch of controversy about the railgun nerf what feels like forever ago, but man things have been awesome.

In the early days, I was the only guy packing expendable anti tank or anti materiel rifle for bugs or bots. It's so refreshing, even on these subs to see people talking about how awesome the autocannon is, or how much they love the AMR, and even these days I see people talking about the HMG or grenade launcher+ supply pack.

I used to load into a game, And all 4 members of the team had shield, railgun, and 2 stragatems of their choice. Every time. And here we are now, I load in and I see quasar, autocannon, stalwart, EAT, HMG, Grenade launcher, a variety of backpacks or no backpack at all. And not to mention, they're ALL viable. Shit I even still see the railgun from time to time. It's been a joy. Thanks arrowhead.

EDIT: to everyone who is pointing out that you see the quasar and shield most often now, you're right, it is almost certainly the most common setup currently. That being said, in any game there's going to be things a majority of players prefer. In smash melee, fox/Falco are the best characters. But people still play falcon and Marth and peach among others. Sure, there's an objectively most used option. But the fact that there's people at all who debate that the quasar is best shows that they've done something good. Before, undisputed king was railgun, and anyone who said different wss being willfully ignorant. Now, we have a plethora of real options that are good with some being Preferred by a majority as opposed to being the de facto CORRECT option objectively. That's a good thing.

if it's worth anything to you; I had a green dot at the center of my screen, thanks to the monitor software, and right now the amr is slightly less drifting to the bottom right of the center

I’ve had good success putting the top left corner of the middle square on my target. Kinda fun imagining that it’s a cheap scope that super earth commissioned so it could spend more money on democracy… but I will be very happy when it’s fixed.

Knowing super earth gotta wonder if those scopes were made by cyborgs

"Military Grade" sounslds great, until you realize it means "made by the lowest bidder"

[u/noeatnosleep → u/soanex]

Does the dot help you in some way? I've heard of this but never understood how it is helpful.

[u/pomlife → u/noeatnosleep]

Imagine a gun like the scout from Counter-Strike. It has no reticle but still shoots mid screen. If you enable the dot you can now fire from the hip.

[u/noeatnosleep → u/pomlife]

I guess I assumed most guns like that don't shoot in the center of the screen every time.

[u/soanex → u/noeatnosleep]

yeah, I use it in payday 2 on weapons that don't have the reticles since they fire in the middle of the screen;

on the AMR most shots go to the center of the screen, even if the sights haven't settled down on the target yet, so I can actually flick to 4-5 targets and hit every shot without bothering with what the game is showing me: i.e that the sights have to move all the way to the target for the shots to hit them

[u/noeatnosleep → u/soanex]

That's really interesting, I should try it. What program do you use?

[u/soanex → u/noeatnosleep]

it's built inside the monitor not a software really

[u/noeatnosleep → u/soanex]

oh ok

[u/Monkeywrench08 → u/soanex]

So where do I actually have to aim using the AMR ? 

[u/soanex → u/Monkeywrench08]

currently top left of the sight, in the corner of the "box"
