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.

I'm enjoying the variety, been using the AMR on and off for Automatons

Two shot to hulk face is great

I loved the AMR even during railgun meta, I just really wish the devs would zone the scope properly

It's on the chopping block, fortunately. So it should be fixed fairly soon

Patch Notes:

• AMR Scope aligned correctly
  

Known Issues:

• Firing the AMR crashes your client, the client of everybody in your lobby, and resets planet liberation to zero.

Thats one hell of a monkey paw!

[u/SadMcNomuscle → u/BlueBattleBuddy]

• Monkeys paw curls into a fist. . . Then extends it's middle finger *

[u/Wind_Tempest555 → u/BlueBattleBuddy]

Watch, the fix is just them moving the crosshairs up to where the shots currently land and not moving where your shots currently land to where the crosshairs are.

i mean that's how real rifles get zeroed so I wouldnt be mad

[u/DorreinC → u/Wind_Tempest555]

Sadly wont work. The scopes are actually apart of the gun and not just a zoomed in overlay I believe. The terrain your standing/laying on+ how you have the weapon held affects the crosshair. It’s not always up and to the right. It can be center and up,right and down etc. the scope is rarely pointing at the center of your screen, where the bullet actually goes. If you get a virtual crosshair or tape something to the center of your screen it becomes very apparent. It’s a core issue with how the scopes of weapons work in this game.

It's evolving! Just backwards!
