PSU-Item: Machine guns

[Cry0]

Hello. Longtime reader, firsttime poster. vet on pso.

I was wondering, there is a short description of the machine gun in the items section of PSU. And as far as I know, there has never been yet a post on, or a video on how they actually work.

Machine Gun
Left-Handed
Usable By: Rangers

Known Skills:
Burning Fever, Frozen Fever, Gravter Fever, Plasma Fever

Description:
A rapid fire gun that consumes a lot of PP. The machine gun is best used in close-quarters combat. You cannot go into Subjective Viewpoint Mode with this weapon, but it allows you to strafe around enemies without using any extra controls.

Does this mean:

a) you can not hold 2 machine guns at one time (like a saber)
b) using it would b like a third person shooter (ie you can move and shoot), but without a lockon?
c) only for high levels? or attainable later in game? because i have never seen anyone use them.

thank you

I've used a mechgun. It wasn't very good although for a ranger they might be better.

Hmm, interesting I personally love mechs and hope to use them again and hopefully 2 mechs not just one though that might also be a bit better.

[Tycho]

a): Right.
b): Yes, though there is still an automatic lock-on system.
c): Nuh-uh, not all that hard. People had been running around with them in the beta even. They're kinda like the Needles from PSO v3/4, with a rapid-fire option when holding the button.

dual wielding 2 mechguns is impossible, heres a video of a female newman using a mechgun. http://youtube.com/watch?v=PGs36UxuiYw

why is it impossible? if you can hold a mech in one hand and a saber in the other then why not be able to have 2 mechs?

If for any reason, then I would guess it would be "Dual Mechguns don't exist". You can't dual-wield Sabers; you have to find an individual item of the "dual saber" type. It may be that "dual mechguns" doesn't exist.

Hmm, thx.

I guess they are only really good if your base atp is good. and you dont hv 2 left hands

like in pso then.

I don't see why people want to dual-wield mechguns anyway. If you dual-wielded your PP would be gone in like 5 seconds flat.
