Will the new guns even odds in LG?

With the recent drops of guns with uber damage that can be used by low skilled players, though at a high price, its pretty clear that MA is trying to even out odds in the coming LG.

Do you think they will make any difference?

Could if there drops enough of them I think... And they are used by players with good RL pk skills, and enough of them organised.

But I kindof doubt it... 4 hours is a long time

What do you think?

It depends on how many guns, whose hands they fall in, and how coordinated all those hands turn out to be.

No. Those who'll win LGs would do it even with opalos and no guns could change it.

No, plain and simple. High level players will buy most of these guns anyway, and I'm guessing there won't be many that drop. Guess how many Star already has?

These guns weren't added for noobs to kill high level players and Ubers. They were added for high level players to kill Ubers, and ubers to kill ubers. Obviously with the low skill requirement anyone could use them... But do you really think you will be able to defend land for 4 hours with one? The answer is no...You defend land with the regular equipment...But you take land with those guns. If you can't defend, there is no point in taking (unless you are helping someone else take).

well since the only two Star rifles in game are owned by Star at the moment and he owns one of the Stormer rifles as well.....

kind of a pointless question...

Plus more ubers than uber dropping guns...

Do we know for a fact that's all of them currently in-game?

I'm just sayin'...

I agree with what you're saying about being assault weapons and not usfull for defense, but your reasons here are wrong. Its a crafted item and a cheap to make one at that, so MA could drop hundreds of BP and they could end up in the hands of a very wide range of the player base.

An army of noobs in support just become a tactical advantage

No.

Depending on price and availabilty it may be an interesting option for lootable PvP.

It won't have much impact on land grab though. As others have mentioned, to win land you need to be able to hold land for four hours. The Star gun Copern posted about has less than 10 shots in it at full tt. That doesn't help you hold land unless you have a suitcase full of them.
