People complain about overpowered weapons, but it's sometimes just how you deal with them. Here's some things I do to live through people having the good exotics: Shotguns: Throw a grenade in front of you, shoot as they run up, melee at the last moment. This may still get you killed, but it lets you make sure you get them too. Fusion rifles: Learn how long charge time usually is. Once you know it's about to fire, either dodge around or hide. Once it goes off, resume shooting. Snipers: try to run about in as random a way as possible, and try to stay in the air. Once close enough so that the sniper is useless, shoot. Arbalest: Use a shotgun, or act like it's a normal fusion rifle Jotunn: You're just screwed. If you notice it charging, run around a corner and fight someone else. Machine guns: get close range, use melee and run if to far away Rocket launchers: the farther away, the easier to dodge Crimson: shoot from far off with a scout rifle Grenade launchers: avoid tight areas and stay more still, try to kill as quickly as possible and run out of the way if they get too close Smgs: once far enough away, they're useless, and they can't run up to you without taking a lot of fire. Randy's throwing knife: toss a grenade at them Linear fusion rifles: see Arbalest Bows: worthless at close range, even more so if you keep moving Telesto: stay in an open area, the explosive rounds then have nothing to stick to Hope this helped, if you needed it.
