How is the Jar-5 Dominator?

[Aku]

Is it viable?

[ODINMASTER]

If they made the rounds have an actual explosive aoe effect that would be great

So I dunno what's up with it, if it was d-sync or a lag issue, but the gun just doesn't work for me. I will shoot three automaton troopers in one shot then the next one will take me six shot, all of them landing center mass. Sometimes it will requires two or three shots to take down a regular trooper instead of the usual single one. I used it for three dives, hoping it would get better but it just don't. I spent the last half of my third dive using my secondary because it was much better. I'm back with the diligence, reliably one tapping troopers and being able to shoot berserkers in the face rather than just spending a full mag of Dominator on one to take it down. It's a shame because I really wanted to like it.

So I'm gonna go against the mob here and say its actually pretty alright, especially against bots.

Against bugs, I can see the complaints. You'll do a lot of swapping to the redeemer against swarms. But the one tap against warriors is nice, as well as being able to handle stalkers/hive guards/brood commanders quickly.

But it shines against bots. You can one shot everything from a devastator down, and do respectable damage against tank and hulk weak points.

It plays a lot like the Slugger, but is semi-auto and has detachable magazines.

But there's a pretty big overlap in use cases between an autocannon and the dominator, and the autocannon is just better at it.

I'm wondering if what was suggested in the post before yours about desynch might be right since that post and my experience don't seem to match up with yours and others.

For example, you mention 1 shotting warriors but it takes three direct head shots in my experience. Even from close range.

A lot of people's experiences with this game seem to really conflict and its making me think there is a deeper underlying issue with the game or the network side of things.

Possibly. I have no idea. In my experience, I've had no troubles consistently one-shotting small bots with torso shots, or warriors with head shots. So I can't really comment on the possible causes of those issues.

supposed to be the equivilvent to a bolter from the warhammer universe.. ends up being a potato launcher

legit they ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ have nfi about weapon balance

[Katitoff]

Most of people in this thread never used anything but shotgun and don't even realize there is bot faction to fight against too, the words like "precision" and "aiming" could just as well be chinese for them.

Jar-5 is good against bots (one hit kills devastators to the face, takes down walkers in couple of shots to the leg joints, kills fast enemies with vent weakspot on the back and deals well with berserkers).

I've never had a problem with it. For bots I aim at center of mass unless it's a Hulk. It kills big bugs (except the Charger) just fine. I think my only one issue (might be a graphics thing on my end) is that the scope has a weird bright glare next to the dot. So whenever I ADS, it freaking distracts me.

yet only using the special weapon is actually efficient vs bots and having a breaker + smg on the side for clearing up what you cant kill quickly with an arc thrower or railgun
