IMO the assault rifles are still a bit underpowered, especially the ones with light armor pen. They don't feel good to use especially vs bugs with the amount of medium enemies out now. They should definitely change the armor scaling formula a bit and let lighter weapons pen when hitting head-on, but glancing more easily. Like if you have a pen-2 weapon you should be able to over-pen light armor at head-on angle (like 0-30 degrees), equal pen at moderate angles (30-80) and glance at high angles, equal pen level 3 armor at 0-30, and glance at 30+ degrees.
I agree they still feel underpowered, but I think that should be fixed by increasing number of light armor chaff. That will let the regular ARs rock plenty of enemies before your crosshairs meet a medium armor enemy.
Agree! I always said why single AR or battel rifle's bullet cannot kill dog size creator in 1 hit at the center. Stopping power of these rifles are almost nonexistence but the patch make it kill a bit easier. It might be somewhat right direction I supposed.
I think the liberator could use some buffs, but it’s in a spot that while other weapons might be better, it’s good enough that I don’t feel like I’m shooting myself on the foot from bringing it
@@JingSkyJokerBecause dog-sized creature not made of dog. These are aliens, dawg. Their carapace and meat are likely going to affect said bullets. Two tapping one of the small buggos is completely reasonable to me.
Damn, seeing TJK having the exact same armor, helmet and background as me at 26:10 tripped me out for a second. "I wasn't in that round." xD .. Might even be wearing the same cloak. Fellow Krieg enjoyer, I bet. Edit; That gunship sequence at 43:50 was cinematic AF, loved it. Scary when the gunships come crashing down in our general direction.
The stalwart still feels abit underwhelming, especially for something that takes a support weapon slot. which is a bummer because it feels so satisfying to use when there aren’t medium armor enemies clogging the screen. I still don’t believe a support weapon should be stuck with light pen when we have so many other better options so here’s my (probably shit) idea of how to make it more viable and differentiate the machine guns. Keep stalwart as it is, but give it medium pen. The durable damage in it is already low so it wouldn’t be busted by any means but it would allow the stalwart to actually seem like more than like a juiced liberator. In order to prevent that from creeping in on the MG-43, we’d need to buff both of them. The stalwart does 70 damage while the MG-43 does 80. So if they both had medium pen then everyone would just choose the stalwart over it bc of more ammo and reloads on the move. To make MG still worth taking, we should buff the MG to something like 100-110 damage, with a similar percentage increase to its durable damage. That way it still maintains higher lethality than stalwart to make the stationary reload worth it
The winner for me is the arc thrower

I highly disagree. Liberator on bugs is amazing right now.

We ranked it on the podcast among primaries as if it was a primary and it was only in our A tier lol
