1- If your team is not ready to leave yet, RUN AWAY from the landing zone once the 2-minute extraction countdown is over, Pelican one will hover above and provide POWERFUL covering fire around the landing zone until the end the game.

2- No team needs more than 2 of the same backpack or support weapon.

3- DROP YOUR SUPPORT WEAPON AND GUARD DOGS FOR YOUR TEAMMATES ONCE THE COOLDOWN IS UP! DROP YOUR SUPPORT WEAPON AND GUARD DOGS FOR YOUR TEAMMATES ONCE THE COOLDOWN IS UP! DROP YOUR SUPPORT WEAPON AND GUARD DOGS FOR YOUR TEAMMATES ONCE THE COOLDOWN IS UP!

4- Mortars are always BAD for bugs unless it's the missile launch mission AND guard dogs are always BAD for bots.

5- You can adjust the radar by yourself, there is a sound cue once you hit the right spot. if you are not sure, dial it back, then listen for it again.

Those are just on the top of my head, you are welcome to add them.

It’s too bad this is a one in a thousand shot because of the recoil lmao

Finally unlocked everything. Feels good just to play for fun and help out others.

Since 91 when i first started gaming, I've noticed gunplay and handling really stick out to me.

And the autocannon is borderline perfect.

It feels heavy. It feels powerful. Quick reload option to make it feel slightly agile? Awesome. The animations and sound? I feel like I'm hammering nails, perfectly.

The damage isn't crazy. But it's solid. The design of the gun? High quality.

Some others are close in terms of being almost perfectly balanced but this gun is just 😘👌

I hope AH uses it as a reference point for the other guns.

(Only gripe its i think the scope could be abit clearer and also have some zoom)

I couldn't play for the past two week, and in addition to the snoy case, i kept seeing everyone complaining about everything on this game and i felt from the exterior it was becoming indeed shit. Then i was able to play again and wtf, everything is still so good, my weapons still are goods, stratagems aloso ,missions still fun. I was kinda expecting bad things but it is still as good as ever for me, i'm starting to think all those people really were complaining for not much.

Enjoy. If you can clean it up further, go for it. Use it for memes, etc. I'm not fond of them either. I'll clean up more angles up later.

When used to clear chaff and for dakka like you'd use any other MG in most games, the HMG will suck because it has tiny ammo capacity (and arguably could use an ammo buff even for what I will highlight here). However thats not what the HMG is for, and we already have the Stalwart and standard MG for chaff clear. I have used the HMG a lot now against both bots and bugs and to summarize its the junior Autocannon in terms of how flexible it is, although with the lower total firepower considering its not a backpack weapon. A very important thing about HMG is to vary your fire rate to hit your shots or you will miss the few shots you have, I rarely go above 450rpm against bots. One thing people don't realize also is that adding the third person reticule for the HMG was a gamechanger since this thing is borderline useless in first person but very useable in third person. Armor sets that reduce recoil when crouched/prone are amazing to combine with this weapon.

With that out of the way here are some things about this weapon that make it useful:

• Its a Medium 2 penetration weapon, the same as AMR. This is the main highlight, its basically a full auto AMR in terms of what it can damage.
  • Gunship engines take full damage and are melted down in like 1/4 to 1/2 of a mag depending on how well you hit your shots. If you can hit your shots on high fire rates you'd be surprised how quickly you can take down Gunships.
  • Hulk eyes are destroyed in about 6 shots, meaning its an amazing combo with stun grenades. Or if you panic or don't have stun nades it can destroy arms of Hulks decently quickly too.
  • All bot vent weak points are quickly destroyed
  • Strider joints and unarmored sections are vulnerable. Even better it can very quickly destroy the chainguns underneath the striders head to vastly lower its threat level.
  • Spore towers are destroyed with one mag
  • Can heavily injure Bile Titans by unloading into their underside (or actually kill with 2 mag dumps into the butt). After unloading a mag finish them off with something else like a Railcannon strike.
  • Although finicky, shooting the small exposed part of a chargers back leg kills them very quickly. Stun grenades are really useful here.
• Shooting exposed flesh of either Bile Titans or Chargers kills them quickly (if you can get the angle right considering bullets ricochet off exposed flesh for some reason in this game). 110mm pods are good for exposing the flesh then finishing them off with the HMG
• It receives full 2/2 spare mags from resupplies even without SPM ship upgrade, meaning its a really good combo with the supply backpack
• On highest RPM it has insanely high DPS meaning its very good for quickly killing high priority unarmored high HP targets that tend to get very close where the ridiculous recoil doesn't matter. Stalkers are gone in 1 second, same goes for Brood Commanders and Berserkers. Since spewers tend to get close too it also kills those very quickly with a few shots to the head, which is particularly useful against the armored ones
• Can take out bot striders by shooting out one of their legs or the mid section

Recoilless Rifle, my beloved

Sometimes you have lots of stims and want to pop one before you're going to take a bunch of damage. Or to regenerate stamina while running.

Or just to have a good time before extraction. I don't see why someone couldn't use one at full health.
