Let's Discuss Railgun!

That's the thing with Railgun, it's very strong when you team up with another Railgun or Thunder. The damage output is enough to eliminate everything that isn't a Dictator.

Bought the LCR alt on KillerDiesel, and I have to say that it feels a bit of an upgrade from round destabilization. The reload increase isn't even noticeable, that delay increase is actually useful for hitting targets behind you while the delay is in action.

Sooo, does this mean you'd stop using Stock Railgun if you're looking for high score?

It's all I use. Stock railgun M4 is as weak as a kitten and round destabilization is too flaky for my tastes.

It's like you always stated "why use the stock version if you have an alteration to the turret that is so much better?"

If nothing else get the faster spinning one. Rocking your hull is an essential skill to learn and it pretty much negates the downside.

The faster horizontal tracking is best used in maps with little to no elevation variations like sandbox, desert, cologne, etc.

Or on heavier hulls like mine. Though I wouldn't recommend using Mammoth period, Titan and Railgun is a decent any-range support and tank build.

If you see me in game I should be using...Hornet m2 and Rail m2 with ripple paint(yellow)

I used to love playing BP in battles, but since the overdrives came out, have you all seen any BP players do well? Facing lots of 50% makes the combo see kinda bad

XP is generally better in MM. Almost entirely because of the Overdrive. Some BP players do well because of LCR or Destabilisation, but the protection modules hinder them, unlike XP players.

I've been microupgrading the driver drone so that the viking overdrive recharges quickly. At 10 steps I get about 3/4 overdrives per battle. Combine it with railgun M4 and large caliber rounds (and double damage) and it is very nice indeed.

Try it with Stock Railgun and see how you do. I'm curious as to how effective is Stock with Viking up in Legend battles.

Stock doesn't perform very well (usually) because everyone has rail proteciton. Large caliber rounds gives you a bit more damage.

I was in a battle yesterday where all but one player had 40%+ Rail protection, its not really an option for Legend battles.

That's...bad. Stock shouldn't fall behind one of its alterations on a regular basis.

Which means, ppl can attack a rail heavy format by playing literally any other turret and will not face much protection. It is frustrating that bc of protections, a turret is mostly unplayable

Which is the best rail alt, ive been using round destab for a while now, is the elecromagnetic scout alt good,? 

[ghost-guns 1,486]

Electromagnetic accelerator scout is ok but you have to be exposed a lot. I prefer large caliber rounds because the damage is more acceptable.

I’m pretty sure electromagnetic alt is trash with Viking.  The OD keeps the damage I think, so LCR is far superior for that specific hull.  Also, ghost-guns is right.

[ghost-guns 1,486]

I've got the driver drone upgraded so that I get -20 seconds on the viking overdrive reload everytime I get a kill. Large caliber rounds is the best for this, but it depends on the map of course.

It's kinda ugly lol

Stock Railgun? Yes.

If they decide to buff LCR, I will burn all of my money into a 50% Falcon module.
