Smartgun feels a little weak...

[Elensar]

Is there something I'm missing with the smartgun? it doesn't seem to provide much power over the stock pulse rifle... the sentry feature is cool I guess but what am I missing? This gun feels underpowered tbh.

Agreed. The gun itself should be large boost to accuracy. That's the point of the damn thing.

Yeah I feel it should be very accurate and perhaps be immune to marine panic accuracy debuffs or something seeing as the guns computer system is doing the targeting etc. As it is now I'm not seeing much point is having a gunner in the group, although I do anyway because smartguns look cool... Deffo needs a buff though.

no i have my gunners accuracy high and dismemberment around 25% -35% they're killing it.

not just accuracy buffs but also ammo clip buff from 150 to 250 or 500 drum clip because in universe the m56 smartgun can carry a 500 round clip while the m41a pulse rifle has a 95 to 99 round clip. same with the sentry gun's clip which currently has a 250 round drum when in actual reality carried a 500 round drum.

Yes I agree . It is way too underwhelming. It is essentially no better than overwatch. That thing needs a buff for sure.

it is actually strong but reemember your marine always have tired defbuff so most of our accuracy is 35, if you can actually raise your marines accuracy it is a very good weapon.

Some dudes on the reddit pulled the actual DPS for all guns.

Smartgun is the top DPS of all weapons. GG.

[Jhea]

the gun is fine
what matters is the 10 accuracy bonus for manually selecting a target - that's pretty much instant kill with the 'zielwasser' perk (don't know the english name, but it gives 13% chance to cripple and kill an enemy)

also it has 150 rounds, which makes it need less ammo, since 1 ammo pack is a full reload for any weapon

on lower difficutlies that doesn't mean anything
on nightmare i ran out of ammo in middle of a firefight with the cultists... and then having to rely on your sidearm is.... scary...

It's the versatility of the smartgun which makes it worthwhile. The sentry feature can come in clutch, and the accuracy bonus from the gunner class works well with it (make sure to manually click on enemies you want to die quickly to get the accuracy buff)

[xelakerley]

It gets a boost in accuracy when you do the "kill that guy" (or w/e it's called lol). Also gets a free bonus to dismember chance. Besides, if it was amazing you would just rock a full stack of smart-guns lol

That guns a freakin lawnmower. Get the turret mode and then use sun machine gun side arm with it. Smart gun is awesome.
