Gatling laser accuracy
« on: February 10, 2017, 06:43:31 AM »

Hi, guys!
I have to say that gatling laser is bugged. I used it and M240 on max range and recieved very funny result.
М240 shoots 25 bullets per burst and only 2-3 hit the target. Gatling shoots 5 bullets per burst and 3 constantly hit the target. When reducing the distance by 7 hexes 4 bullets constantly hit the target, which corresponds to normal accuracy. Therefore, the actual effective range of the Gatling is 63-70 hexes and comparable with the effective range of sniper weapons that imbalances in the gameplay. With the configuration of the Core maps it is necessary to reduce the effective range of the Gatling at least to its nominal value. Thank you for your attention. 8)

Well, gatling has 4 weaknesses that you should exploit.

1) It is very heavy weight when loaded that gives HUGE malus to weapon drops rolls, aim arms if you have aimable weapon.
2) It is walk only, use ground fire or choose position with cover if possible. Gatling is best against immobile targets in open space such as deployed MG, so remember it.
3) Gatling deals more and more DPS as it shoots you. After first shot it has 800 delay, after second 700 and after third 600, and so on up to 400, so do not let it focus fire on you for longer than few shots. Rate of fire bonus resets afte 3 seconds. Be mobile, use hard/soft cover.

Also comparing Gatling and MMG you should remember that gatling is a single target weapon while MG's are area weapons.

Current gatilng is same as it was pre-wipe with exception that now it has 4.4% more base damage, so I do not get what do you mean saying "nominal" range.

I mean that nominal eff range for my character is 50 hexes, but i have same accuracy on 63 hexes (4 of 5 bullets) and only -20% penalty on maximum range (70 hexes - 3 of 5 bullets).

Gatling doesnt have any specific accuracy traits/perks/hidden mechanics. So effective range for this gun works exactly same as for any other gun in the game.
I will test it myself though, there might be one bug, but it is unlikely to be so.

Confirmed, i shot twice every target (on screenshots) and multiple times for testing.

First target 100% chance with lazer rifling. (always hits with 4 bullets)
Spoiler for Hiden:


Second target with 59% chance to hit (always hits with 4 bullets)
Spoiler for Hiden:


Third target with 0% chance to hit (always hits with 3 bullets)
Spoiler for Hiden:


In the end, your maximum range is almost your effective range for this gun, since the spread of it is so small.
