RC Clone is the anti-thesis of a lurker.

i know, it's lame

I always construed the focus rifle to mean that it causes all enemies to focus on you, as they can see your location quite easily as youre being shot. lol

Its not.

It's not suppose to be a Sniper, the Focus Rifle is a long range suppresive weapon. Use the thing in closer ranges, it destorys.

The Beam Rifle was just a carbon copy of the Sniper, the Sniper outclassed it in nearly everything other than a faster fire rate.

More like sniper suppression. Otherwise, it's an assist stick.

Black Dawn Mercenaries - Commander

It's a irritating weapon tbh, 99% of the times in firefight that is the reason i die. Some jackle is sitting there with it slowly taking my shield down while i am dealing with a hunter or elite and then all of a sudden a -blam- grunt with a fuel rod gets me.

Because a surge in the population of pinnipeds leads to an inevitable depopulation of sea urchins. The best solution to this issue is to call it a sniper.

Range and scoping.

And if you focus it on a target long enough, they die.

It's almost (there are those who somehow make good use of it, I'm sure) not worth it. I'd rather take a real sniper rifle over that terrible cross between a sniper rifle and a Sentinel Beam.

If it really was supposed to be that, they probably wouldn't have changed it so radically.

I'm going to say "no" to this statement.

<(-_-)> Teh mokey is not amused

Its really powerful if you use it right. Either use it as a suppressor or focus on targets out in the open.

Most people don't take into account suppressing fire.

At least, not out-loud.
