Auto-cannon / Is it still significant at higher ranks?

  1. 1. Should Autocannon be buffed? Increase in impact force? Lesser Damage penalty? Faster Rate of fire?

    • Decrease Damage penalty
      4
    • Increase impact force
      6
    • Increase rate of fire

wOW, I bought the incendiary rounds... it really works better than autocannon. The burn helps kill hiding targets + i am less likely to die since i dont expose myself too much unlike the autocannon! Thank you for your feedbacks! 

So... you changing that emoti you gave me?

I've used it on the test server and seen other people using it. What I've gathered from that is that Autocannon is an Alteration where you have to keep your distance and rely on criticals.

Like T879 said, Smoky Mk2 at Major is pretty undergraded, so if Smoky is something you want to pursue, saving up crystals for the 50% sale coming up in early June would be a good idea.

Can't I hold them off before they reach me with proper planning?

I really admire the beauty of HPAS. It is highly underrated and I wanna prove it.

Reload feels too slow.  It's like Thunder without splash.

So I finally have 3 Alts, HPAS, AC and Incendiary this is what I have experienced:

 

AC - Few to zero Smoky modules - always great. Also better for close combat and also for sniping crits. Works best in DM.

HPAS - Light hull to medium hull 1 hits with crits or 2 shots without crits. This is like having an instant hit thunder that shoots every 1.9 seconds. mk7 11/20 hits for regular 1.1 = 1.4k (drugged damage)

criticals are at 1.8 to 1.9k

Incendiary - When there are smoky modules and no firebird modules it's really good, not recommended for engaging multiple targets. AC does it better

This does it. I'm either going for AC or HPAS. Incendiary is good but it's not my type. I might like it if I use it tho, but even without using I can say that AC and HPAS are made for me. lel.

Firebird modules have no effect on the incendiary damage.  That is after-burn.  Only protection from that is a HULL Augment.

autocannon is pretty useful in most cases, but definitely there are several alts out there which can do a good number including most vulcan alts... that'll be my next investment

Smoky is less annoying since I put 40% protection up against it.

Ricochet on the other hand seems powerful regardless of protection module.

Ricochet doesn't take too much out of its energy to kill someone on equal footing. But when you add DA and a protection modules, it will take them much longer. They will likely still kill you if they survive long enough, but they'd eat through nearly all of their energy just to kill one target.

Not sure why, but for some reason a lot of people at my Ranks seem to have gotten Autocannon now. Today I have already seen 4-5 people in Matchmaking with that Alt. Not sure if all of them got the same from Containers or whether they really bought it, but it's strange ?
