Sharpshooter would be good with HEAT. Please give us the HEAT cannon!

The brawler gets a Vulcan... Great just another thing to overheat me extremely fast >.>

I would rather stick with the slug rifle then the heat gun IMO..

A Berserker with a Vulcan_ Holy frak .... I just leveled my Infiltrator up to 20 and tried out the repeater gun..... What should I say_ It's a waste of points ... dont see the point in giving a full contact fighter a sniper rifle...  thats bs...

Damn - I want that Vulcan... I saw it today on a lvl20 brawler... awesome weaponry.... I want one on my infiltrator ... just kiddin'. I have to level up my berserker then...

Hi Entity,

yes, we played quite some good matches today. Thanks for ruining my stats   - your vulcan brawler is a real beast, nearly unstoppable.

But I'll adapt and tomorrow I will kick your butt

So i have reached level 20 and played my first game with the vulcan.

It deals amazing damage but it overheats so fast.

Using mostly the SMC whilst leveling there is a great improvement on the speed at which i kill an enemy but i feel the slower response time and strong possibility of overheating are a definitive nuisance to my play style.

I can see myself sticking with the SMC for deathmatch and possibly switching to the vulcan for team based maps.

The Vulcan fuzzy bunny machine dishes out all kinds of pain. It can be pretty intense at close encounters piloting a Sharpshooter mech; Having an EMP handy is always a great thing for those "oh shiet" moments

At 20 the Brawler gets a Vulcan and a Heat Cannon.

Honestly, Vulcan isn't as good as it used to be. It shakes the camera soo much. I'll stick with the Flak.

For those saying the repeater is underpowered it most definitely is not. It improves on the tactic that the HEAT + grenade launcher was good at - the super high alpha damage. When fully charged, EOC + grenade + HE charge if u really want to scare them. Takes a huge chunk out of a mech's armour. After a few games to get used to the slower projectile speed it preforms very similarly to the HEAT cannon (possibly better)

another thing is, like the HEAT cannon, its best to optimize for mobility as boosting resets the charge-up - making the ability to walk, turn, and especially dodge quickly more valuable than with other weapons

I cant tell for sure, but optimal dps for repeater and HEAT at least feels like its at full charge. This could be because of the projectile speed makes it better to save up your damage for when your target is stationary, or moving more slowly for a moment.
