Liberator Penetrator finally feels fantastic.

[Kashra Fall]

Weapon made me feel like I was in Starship troopers lol. Doesn't go "click" too early now, feels good, doesn't shoot the sky because of recoil and does good damage. Hands down my favorite ballistic assault rifle currently. Not the strongest, but overall one of the better feeling ones.

It's mediocre. I use it often simply because I like it, but I acknowledge it's an average weapon.

Not when the Guard Dog is using it.

I quite liked the old dog, but the new one with an expanded mag and a better gun is definitely an improvement.

Y'all are nuts. Default guard dog was better than laser boi since forever

Like the weapon, and now it's a real alternative to the Adjudicator, for those that have it unlocked. I specially like the sight, even if it has a lot of visual "noise".

The penetrator has literally been objectively the best weapon since the health rework patch. The only weapon that is even in the same tier is the DCS, which trades handling and usability for 1 taps instead of 2 taps. No other weapon competes with these two

My biggest issue with the penetrator has always been the ammo and recoil. Both of which got altered in this current patch and why it finally feels so good to me. I wanna love the tenderizer, but it just, I dunno.

Mathematically speaking, this may be the case. Gameplay speaking, the "feeling of the gun"; it's different for everyone. In the end "breakpoints" are nice and all but when you are surround by enemies shooting or clawing at you, they mean nothing.

It's been good in the beginning, one of the few options to have medAP on a primary. Got a bit powercrept once the adjudicator got its buffs, felt like it was proper in the first set of changes in the 60day, and now of course just only much better with the further buffs to make it more similar to the default Liberator. I never minded the smaller magazine since I presumed that was just a part of its weakness for having it deal with medAP. It's my option for when I just want a low-recoil medAP rifle variant.

Base guard dog only became usable this patch, what kind of revisionism are you smoking?

No, before the buffs it was one of the worst guns in the game.

the penetrator is outclassed by a lot of similar primaries but technically it's a 'free' gun so i appreciate that they gave it some TLC instead of rendering it completely obsolete.
if you don't have the time or $ to get the warbonds, then the penetrator is a reasonable ppor mans rifle.

What truly is obsolete is the standard liberator now. every variant of it is a straight up upgrade, with no trade off.
penetrator AP3
carbine fire rate and speed reload
concussive larger drum mag, stagger

With the penetrator buff, it naturally made sense to give it a drum mag like the concussive.
i hope they just forgot to do that. it would at least feel like a mini stalwart.

''Fantastic'' while still being an inferior choice. aha

Inferior choice to what? There is no reason to bring any specific gun outside of having the "Best of" yet all the guns are functional and able to assist your team. The difference between the adjuicator and the penetrator is 30 damage, except the penetrator has 15 more bullets, so it kind of evens that field out.
