Like I prefer the Mattock over the harrier, due to having a preference for single shot rifles (I always switch to single shot with rifles, plus the accuracy and way it fires. Even the mattocks in game description lists the non full auto as a plus instead of a con for discouraging waste of ammo. With the Harrier, I don't like how...quiet it is, as well as the TINY clip size, and lack of single shot. If a gun is going to have full auto, it should have a larger clip, for sustained fire. Otherwise there's no real point, IMO.
Which brings me to heavy weapons. On the opposite aide of single shot accurate rifles, I also like guns with HUGE clips for sustained fire. I'm not a big fan of the Typhoon for four reasons when compared to the Revenant. First, the startup time has gotten me killed in higher difficulties when an enemy popped around a corner, which isn't an issue with the revenant. Secondly, that blast shield makes it dang near impossible to aim from cover, and limits normal field of view. Third, I love that roar of the revenant.
. Lastly, I've learned to make good use of the spread the revenant has, such as putting cry rounds to flash freeze entire mobs by just pointing in their direction, getting multiple headshots by aiming at the lower center of the crowd, while the single target accuracy of the typhoon uses an entirely different approach (better at dropping individual enemies faster, less practical for crowd control.). If I'm going for accuracy id rather use a sniper rifle or regular assault rifle.Of course I'm thinking in terms of Destroyer and TSol, which cover the faults of the Revenant. I'll slap the Typhoon on say, the Qsol. Although the starting windup and sustained fire leaves his squishy butt exposed for too long lol. So that leaves the Typhoon better for Juggernaut though id rather he use the spitfire for theming. Which leaves me with not a whole lot of use for the Typhoon.
Like I said, the Harrier and Typhoon are better straight damage, but I just get more mileage out of the utility of the mattock and revenant. (Of course, there is a difference in that the harrier is a full auto mattock, while the Typhoon is a minigun as opposed to the Revenant being a heavy machine gun, so they are two completely different types, but they are usually compared equally)
Retour en haut
. I've tried to like the Revenant in MP and even with stability mods, the guns damage output is just poor compared to the other two more superior guns. The only superior aspect the Revenant may have over the other guns is the sound it makes, which again doesn't match up to it's damage output.
