Does the Hammerburst need a buff?

Yeah I do agree HB needs a little buff but imo TC should bring back Gear 1 HB design as a skin for the HB and/or add the gears 2/3 HB in the gun rotation in arcade.

I feel like the players need more gun variation. Even if that means bringing back the semi automatic HB II.

I do agree the lancer does stand out a bit in arcade situations if you get caught in it’s web.

The gears 5 HB is great but the classic HB is nostalgic and idk about you guys but I miss it personally.

And If the cog can have 3 rifles in MP why not the locust.

If the locust can get three differently tuned rifles I think that could potentially help balance out the lancer more in arcade.

I do agree I feel like most of my deaths are from lancers. It’s most comfortable for people to use a lancer than the HB but I guess that depends on style too.

Yeah but it would be cool to see 3 differently tuned hammerbursts. If TC added the gears 1 HB then we’d potentially have 2 burst rifles.

But I’d have faith TC could tune them differently to make them feel like different HBs but still viable. Maybe the HB the swarm use could be more accurate than the OG Locust HB at long range but at close range the OG Locust HB could be deadlier w/ a spread but kind of inaccurate at long range. Then TC could also add the semi automatic HB II with the zoom sight, op.

But it would be cool cause they could make it the swarms’ light rifle/sniper rifle hybrid. It could be used for headshots like how the lancer now can headshot in this mode.

Imo the more hectic the better

Yeah it’s just a thought. I’d like to have more gun options.

Oh and I’d really like to see Arcade get an update. Arcade needs to have more objective while I’m earning skulls sometimes it feels too campy. But yeah like an attack/defend objective while I earn skulls in Arcade would be great.
