i used 50 double damages in a single battle... got spawn killed from the start so each time i spawned i activated double damage and killed myself instantly while taking a few of those twins on drugs with me

Lol

:lol:

All that DD for nothing 

[GuidoFawkes 2,361]

Lol

they wasted their drugs only to get nothing but damage and deaths out of me too :ph34r:

[splitterpoint 10,986]

You got that right,

 

No cheap kills on me either... I might even use speed boost to get close and blow up in their face.

I hate the turret - but gotta say this is pretty funny.

yes Magnum is the perfect drug user 

shot without DD perfect hit take away 75-80% HP , another guy steals the kill

Shot with DD not perfect shot , but lands close , you get the kill 

 

I use DD+SB so i can reload faster after getting the kill 

and the long reload is pretty annoying

Magnums area damage and range HAS TO BE NERFED! IT IS TOO OP! Like you cant even stand behind something cause magnums shells explosion doesnt have to be close to damage you. Like..I mean. You cant hide anywhere. If enemy team has two M2 mammoths wuith M2 thunders and one Magnum while your team has hornets, wasps and hunters, you are basicly forced to move in rain of fire. Players, who play magnum just masturbates in their own position and that is all what they have to do. Like fak that turret. Seriously

Someone's pissed  :D

Damage is fine, the only thing it can one-shot is wasps and hornets on a near-direct hit. Explosion size could use a nerf but idk. Would be nice if the visual explosion more accurately depicted the actual area of damage though; right now much of the explosion is invisible. 

 

 

You cant hide anywhere. 

The whole POINT of Magnum is to counter campers and the "peekaboo" strategy, where people just hide behind cover and pop out to shoot, then duck back in while they reload.

Try backstabbing them. Since they can't rotate the turret you could see if you can somehow pin their hull so they can't turn around. If his camping spot is too secure to backstab him, you can get someone to Magnum the Magnum  :P After all, Magnum DOES counter campers.

Going Fagnum is Waste in MM TBH

you shoot  less frequent than most other turrets and one miss cost's so much

[GuidoFawkes 2,361]

is it just me or are magnums getting rarer and rarer?

[splitterpoint 10,986]

I see it too, protection paints have decreased Magnum's potential in the obvious camp maps. I used to spawn kill everyone in Polygon but after the protections were split into single customizable modules; they strap on Magnum protection just like that and you're underpowered and useless.

[gokuMI6 1,290]

Yes, in MM unless you are a pro Fagnum no chance for a good score

and in Silence Thunder's have increased

Still it has that Annyoing splash radius you can just go to the high point and set up for shooting at the middle and just keep shooting

And magnum doesn't even have to expose itself to do this. This "counter" is just an even more broken version.

I use DD+SB so i can reload faster after getting the kill 

SB doesn't make you reload faster?

[gokuMI6 1,290]

SB doesn't make you reload faster?

yes it does 

[railguniz4noobz 2,394]

yes it does 

SB increases movement speed for your hull and turret rotation by 40%. It does not help with reload.

Magnum: "it's time to look for a ledge to shoot down onto lower elevations"

 

Ledge is found and reached.

 

Magnum: "Time to dominate the battle now" :ph34r:

With 200-400 damage per shot and 5 seconds reload time? No thanks.

Ah my mistake just took a look at Wiki , and you are right

I mistook it cause when you take a SB on XPBP with drops it feels like you reload faste , now ik it was the speed

*cough*Silence&Noise*cough*

Other than that you need to be a camper or a mobile Fagnum who know's Geometry  ;)

The 50% module's take taht much DMG away ?

But that 200-400 DMG is gona be give to 5/6 player's if you time it well

:ph34r: Buff ?

 

you meant nerf ?

[GuidoFawkes 2,361]

well it's getting rarer as you can agree sooooo buff

[gokuMI6 1,290]

No the player's need a buff not the turret , the player's need to learn how to use it

I think that Striker is easy to use comparing to Fagnum , on a MM battle

:o

 

Why don't we see many (any?) strikers in battles?  

 

Still see lots and lots of magnums.  Only reason I might not equip magnum module is because freeze is even more OP and Thunder just got a boost, and there's ka-jillions of them.
