To me I preferred it when PDWs were in the support class. Because most of them burn through ammo so quickly having unlimited ammo is a nice benefit. I also understand why PDWs are in the engineer class though. I’m just upset of how buffed the AS VAL is or going to be. They punished a gun that had a full time suppressor and required skill to dominate. The average player or battlefielder would know little to none about micro bursting.
Pdws would be better in any other class than engineer, engineer is best in the larger game modes where pdws don’t shoot that far
Tbh they should swap Carbine and PWD, PWD being crossclass and unlocked by engineer experience, and Carbine being the default engineer weapon.
- Carbine’s would be way more effective on an engineer
- I don’t even use PDW’s (still only have the MX9 @ almost lvl 30), however I’d LOVE to use something like a silenced P90 for playing a close up recon.
You have a good point.
Anything else and engineer would be op. Except maybe dmrs
PDWs are excellent and make engineers my favorite class. The rate of fire cannot be beaten. If you burst fire and conserve ammo or travel with a support teammate, you will rack up the kills.
You have to use them the right way, close to medium range, and HIPFIRE HIPFIRE HIPFIRE. They are deadly accurate from the hip with a laser sight, foregrip and silencer.
