They are to be feared. You see someone with them, you run away, then take position, and team up to overtake. If you don’t fear these weapons then they’re meaningless.
They are to be fought for. You control these weapons you can control the match. As strong as they are, you still can lose with them if you miss your shots.
Breaker Mace - The fact that it can down you from way too far for a “melee” weapon is my biggest issue with it.
Freedom Lancer - Seems most people dont know how to use it right
The Claw - The stopping power should only slow you down when your moving towards it, not jumping to the side or running away. I had the same issues with the stopping power in Gears 3

I hate the breaker mace. It’ the health boost you get when holding it that bothers me. You should be very vulnerable at range with it, since you’ve opted to trade your gun for a Club.
It might just be me, but I have a hard time fighting against it, even with a good flank or some well placed boltok or Markza shots. The best luck I have is attacking the mace directly. It will take damage and break if you shoot it.
The breaker mace is stupidly broken. You can walk up to someone who has it, point blank, shoot and every single time without fail, you hit for 77%, that’s garbage. If I can get close enough to someone that has the mace that has the range of a b52 bombing run, I should be to one shot em. Instead they tank the shot no freakin’ problem.
Lancer GL isn’t as bad as the mace, but still has that INSANE fire rate and time to down.
The claw, is a nightmare… 3ish shots from ACROSS the map come on.

Why should ridiculously op weapons run the game? I’ve never been a fan. The only reason they’re fought over is because of how op they are. The claw is joke.
You lose in any game if you miss your shots. I don’t know that that’s relevant. Sounds like you love using op weapons and that you’re trying to come up with a good explanation for that. Good for you if you’re happy with broken OP power weapons that take very little skill.
I am for more fun power weapons that take some skill. Less maces and claws, more snipers, torques and dropshots.
