Well i recently made a move to Markov. Though i'm not saying it's cuz of me.
Felt really good to finally kill with the Pulsar. I think the Gauss still owns it however. And the AV seems to actually help. Since nobody uses the lancer for anything but sniping j/k. Most ppl use it hunt MAXS. And it seems our weapons are intended for more ranged fighting.
Jackhammers and MiniCGs are really hard to beat. But at least it can be done.
Pulsar AV takes 3 full clips to kill a max. Without missing and after reloading twice. Thats alot of time and not very good odds. But if several grunts can gang up on max in the open. It looks like we're on safari bringing down a rhinosaurus. Very entertaining.
