Smart guns are boring and overpowered

[nickizz]

Just point and hold the trigger. No aiming required since bullets find their own way. It feels like cheating and makes me wonder why not everyone in the world is using them.
Or am I missing something here?

Quickhacks are more OP

Machete is more OP

IMO, anything becomes overpowered if you overdo it. Smart weapons use homing shots, so it should be expected that they will lock onto a target.

Because everything in the game can be overpowered, so it's really a matter of picking your poison, it all ends up turning the enemy into a joke even on the toughest difficulty.

I refused to use them after I saw how easy it was for the bullets to curve around and headshot an enemy. You literally don't even have to aim. It's so OP to the point where its just not even fun, lol.

I truly detest the use of the word overpowered or OP in a single player game. Who gives a toss. There are some out there who decide that if they don't approve of a playstyle or feature, then everyone else should pay the price. Play the game how you want to play it. If we ever get multiplayers, well that's another kettle of fish.

I run 3 builds. There are all roleplay builds in my head and suit the way i am playing V in each iteration.

1st character, sneaking and silenced power weapons, some blades. Nomad.

2nd character, contagion build, with smart weapons, and it is totally OP, but who cares, it effects no one but me. As it is, I rarely have to shoot a bullet anyway. Corpo.

3rd character, katana and mantis blade only. Streetkid.

If I'm not mistaken there is some aiming involved or like just point in the general direction and get the enemy in the box thing. But yea I agree makes it too easy. But on the other hand the legendary mantis blades make it easier so.

Yep. I mainly use two weapons in the game, myself; the tech shotgun and the katana. I'll still use either the smart sniper rifle or graf if I want to attack from a long ways off tho.

But in general, I have no qualms about using smart guns, that their OP doesn't bother me at all.

The smart sniper is fun to play - as it's close to a bolt action. Very satisfying to get the kill even if the target is taking cover.

Tech snipping through wall, melee, quick hacks are equally as much "I WIN BUTTON" if you go that way :)

Basically if you don't wanna get bored, i suggest being ninja hacker.

Oh yeah tech guns being able to shoot through walls are one of my favorite features in the game. I just wish that you couldn't see enemies through walls.

Everything is OP in this game, try killing enemies with a vehicle before it explodes, that is a pretty good challenge, trust me. ;)
