Re: Jackhammer vs sweeper


Used to be a huge difference. Since the Sweeper buff and JH nerf, I'm not quite sure if the JH is worth the extra 4 cert points. It's nice to be able to kill 3-4 enemies consistently in a single clip with the JH, but the sweeper can still kill 2-3 in a clip. Faster holster/unholster and reload is pretty nice as well.

- JH tripleshot is now worthless unless you're point blank on an enemy with around 60% health and armor
- Sweeper clip increased from 8 to 12
- Sweeper has tighter spread


The JH's only advantage is extra damage (not that much) and and 4 more shots. Is that worth 4 certs? The only reason I have HA certed on my NC currently is because I have a locker full of MCGs and a couple malestroms.
