Thunder's LMG Discussion

(SpinnerzNQ) #1

So first of all, #thunderhype.
Second of all, Thunder’s LMG looks pretty sweet. It appears to have 85 bullets per mag, with a very high RoF (as said in the video). With that AWESOME combo there has to be some kind of balance to it, right? My guess is either a crap ton of recoil, and/or a low damage per shot, like the Hochfir.
Also, Spares with the MK46 is gonna be CRAZY.
I can’t wait for Thunder. He always just seemed like the underrated version of Fragger, and I love underrated guys. Because when you kill people with an underrated merc, you kinda feel awesome and they feel like crap. Plus, I can’t wait to see how I or others use the Concussion Grenade as skillfully as they do other weapons currently in game.

Due to the high RoF, Thunder probably won’t be able to mow down as much enemies as Fragger in one clip. So one obvious flaw will probably be ammo inefficiency. Checking on the role call, he seemed to use around 2/3 of his clip for two enemies.

Imagine a full team of thunders tossing concussion grenades at the last point on Chapel behind the rock, then rushing all the Auras sitting back there and mowing them down.

@Someordinaryguy and fragger is fragger frogger fraggerson

(Someordinaryguy) #8

But he doesn’t say that in-game, while Thunder does :stuck_out_tongue:

Based on the crosshair and how poorly the person controlled the recoil in the role call, it looks like it has terrible hipfire and higher recoil than the K-121, so it might very well have a damage output comparable to an AR or SMG gated by aforementioned bad hipfire and recoil. It might also have a low effective range to compensate as well.

(DeaDmaN2be) #10

I’d like to know the fact cheet of his LMG. It seems similar to fraggers in accuracy while it feels like the Horchfire when it comes to damage. Nevertheless to clear a room with 4 enemys is no problem with one clip if you go for the heads.

(SaulWolfden) #11

Imo, it does too little damage to excuse his huge hitbox.

(DeaDmaN2be) #12

Think so too. If you flash your opponent it’s ok but on 1on1, especially mid or long range you’ll loose.

(sonsofaugust5) #13

This gun is awful.

(sonsofaugust5) #14

This new lmg is weaker than any smg. You use almost the whole clip for two enemies. All you can do is aim purely for heads to be effective at all. Fraggers MG mows down enemies, this one is so weak. My own flash always blinds me, even if i turn away. And a teammates flash always blinds me as well. Thunder is wearing anti-flash goggles…

(sonsofaugust5) #15

I really hope they buff the damage a point. @DeaDmaN it feels weaker than the hochfir.

(SpinnerzNQ) #16

I do prefer the K-121 but this isn’t… awful it’s just not the greatest.

(sonsofaugust5) #17

@SpinnerzNQ If i don’t hit headshots I won’t get any kills. The enemy has time to run away or shoot me back and take my 160 before i can take em down if i dont hit all headshots

Not agreeing or disagreeing, I’m just saying don’t underestimate it. I recently mowed down some people (not at full health of course, but still) with one mag and a heal station.

Its not the damage that is the problem, its horrible spread. Honestly its not worth using at the moment, since you are forced into iron sights and with his big hitbox and slow movement speed you will simply die most of the time.

Also damage drop off is pretty big on it. I guess we can always use timik but i honestly was hoping for high accuracy low damage lmg that is good for covering fire, this thing sadly is not ;/.

Yeah, I’m just using the timik right now, hopefully that’s what I get when I do my trade ups. I want to like the MK46, but it’s kinda like the Tolen. When it works, it works great, but it isn’t consistently awesome like the K-121 is to the Empire-9.
