Heavy Class and weapons are.. so slow

[etermes]

Sorry, I didn’t follow every post in the topic,

but I always include a Heavy in my squead, sometimes two of them

They are versatile, they can fly, great armor (even better with Bionic parts), Hel II Cannon is powerful close range, dazing many enemies too, Deceptor MG with viral and Rage Burst able to panic Scyllas,

or Rage Burst with Acid Cannon is killing big boss in two turns.

War Cry is life saver, jump and bash so useful, using Goliath GL to clear the map,

and mounted weapons with BB so cheap (this will change I hope, at least 1AP)

I like this class:

• Trooper – problem here is that Assault Rifles aren’t really all that good. You use them a lot in the early game, but that’s more because they’re easily available than anything else.

I’m a big fan of ARs, actually, and with the Trooper perk I find them more than adequate for any situation. Also, I’m discovering that they have great synergy with Marked for Death from a Sniper buddy. (but on the defense of the ARs I think I’m pretty much alone, so I’m just saying that I like them for the record - I’ve given up trying to convince anyone of their merits )

I’ve found I disagree with your opinions a lot but this one is one I agree with. One thing I always have in all my squads is my green soldiers (I color-code them for their roles). They’re Assault/Sniper with an AR and a pistol just because… ARs are so good at basically… Being Just Good Enough for literally every situation.

you are not alone.

I totally agree about ARs! Just wish I could agree about heavy weapons!

I lowkey love AR’s. Against more heavily armored enemies they dont got the punch to participate in the fight unless you softe them up first but… I always do that to begin with!

If I first hit a limb to strips its armor (say a Hel II shot from a close by Heavy) then that limb takes full damage.

A trooper with trooperist and Senydrion AR is also insanely accurate. I think its on par with a sniper actually xD
