They’re really weak in terms of their damage output for a static or slow-moving weapon, most people will pop your shields by the time it actually kills them leaving you to get cleaned up. since youre beyond dead against long ranged guns it should do way more damage close up. Warthhog turrets also seem below previous versions.
I never use them while mounted. DMR will take you’re head off before you can pull the trigger. Only thing I use them for is tearing them off and carrying them to bottlenecks to cut down enemies with.
thats the thing though, even unmounted they’re damage is below what you would expect givin the tradeoffs in mobility
Well I mean up close 1v1 it will beat any starting weapon but ya don’t expect to win 1v3 or anything. I really wish they had made the SAW a starting weapon (nerfed back version) instead of power weapon I love the way that thing fires and sounds. The suppressor is just trash.
Yeah they are really weak and considering they don’t exist on any close range maps (well there aren’t any cept adrift…) there is little to no chance that you will get a kill with it. the only way is if your teammates actually leave their opponents 1 shot for you to clean up. and even if you manage to get it into close range quarters, you’ll only get shotgunned/fuelrod’d/railgun’d/rocklauncher’d/scattershotted etc because of personal ordinance.
Also on another nerf the warthog is extremely weak and the cooldown makes it twice as bad. They really should of mounted up gunner since all starting weapons are extremely accurate. the only thing the warthog is good for is transporting and suiciding into the mantis since it’s blast radius is huge and does extreme damage
the turret damage is fine, its main down side is you are standing still.
Just rip it off, it will respawn before the one you have runs out of bullets.
It can put people down at a good range, even though its not supposed to be an accurate weapon, you just have to burst or single fire it to get the most out of it. And close range you are nearly unstoppable.
Same goes the warthog turrets, they are fine, just depends on your driver and how smart your enemy is. A wild driver will ruin all of your opportunities, a cautious smooth driver will let you get the lead out.
—edit–
if you are suffering from cool down issues and saying the turrets are to weak, then you are the problem with the gun system. The longer you hold the trigger, the larger the spread becomes. Less bullets will hit the target, taking longer for them to die, and eventually forcing you to stop shooting. SHORT CONTROLLED BURST.
I got my mounted turret commendation to master yesterday 
Yah i agree. they should beef up the turrets so that they’re actually usefull. even if they increase the damage just a little bit it would make a worlds difference.
