The Gunner is Overpowered.

It's one weakness should be it's speed, so players can get behind it, but it then has the ground pound that smashes anyone close away.

The gun's damage is ridiculous also.

Wait til you get killed by an assassin, they'll be overpowered, too.

He's certainly a powerful character - but he's also sniper fodder. By far the easiest guy to headshot - especially when he's firing. He's definitely the most offensively capable character - but he's so immobile. It's difficult to actually 'escort' as a gunner.

A lot of the fighting is very rock-paper-scissors to an extent. If you lack certain things on your team, you're vulnerable. A well balanced team is key. If gunners are causing you issues - get the sniper out.

when coupled with 2 support. **** THAT.

with the right endorsments his guns unstoppable...i love him

its easy for assasains to kill him but thats about it, oh and snipers, so he does have weaknesses, i think hes just the easiest class to play as

The minigun rapes at close range and is useless at far, Jump around him when close or run.

Skills to use if he is close:
Assault has grenade and charge.
Support has air strike and shotgun.
Tank has charge and flamethrower.
Sniper has grapple and freeze/sniper combo
Assassin has dash, smoke bomb jump and assassination.

Nope. I have NO problem with assassins. They only have their grapple. If they miss, they're boned.

An Assassin is mainly used for Bot slaying, that's what I do with it.

Simplest way to kill a Gunner, airstrike to the head.

Even better if he has one or two support on him, if your lucky you will kill them too!

Thanks for all the suggestions though. It might help me deal with them, because so far the gunner is the only class I hate going up against.

The key with the gunner is to never approach from the front. Not only because his guns are dangerous but because he slows you down which makes it hard to escape.

Railgun from half a map away please and thank you.

Problem with him is his range it far to long. You say snipe him, but I cant when he can kill me faster.

Or get in a single backstab, can't help but notice how delicious Gunners are on the assassin as long as they're not using the "turret mode" (or whatever it's called)



Wish I could say the same for Supports, if they know you're around it's a shotgun instagib to the face.

Pretty much this. The only time I've been out-ranged by a Gunner was one that had Gold Accuracy, and to say the least, it caught me by surprise.

that or a assualt rifle clip ends them quick

gunner isnt really OP, best way to pick them off is to ether use a rail gun or shoot them far away with the assault rifle, it will take them out quick.

Also stalk them as assassin and wait for them to get out of deploy, then back stab them.

Does his gun slow you down? I feel like I have been going slower when I'm hit, maybe I'm just paranoid :roll:

Hurt gun + bomb + bunnyhopping around = Ownage.

Usually what i do is throw a turret in front of him...he'll either shoot me or the turret and usually one of us kills him

Oh yeah, he may be powerful but his lack of speed is a great weakness.
As I've stated in my anti-"x-class-is-too-op-omgwtf"-whine -thread, all classes, if played effectively, can do serious damage (including the support, which isn't common in most games)
