lmao what. stop this victim complex shit. Pic related. For those who don't know, horizontal tolerance is basically the maximum allowed width of the recoil pattern.
MSW-R compared to the renowned Orion:
Has faster bullet velocity (only 10m/s. barely worth mentioning)
Has a .045s longer fast reload (Also barely worth mentioning)
Has shittier hipfire accuracy (-0.25 moving crouch/stand) (but MSW-R can purchase the advanced laser sight whereas the Orion cannot, and you should be running ALS on it since it reduces horizontal hipfire recoil by 33%)
0.01 more bloom per shot.
It's pretty much the same gun except the recoil is biased to the right, and it's horizontal tolerance is tighter. The CARV is in fact shittier than the Orion. No contest there. The 100 round mags are nice and it's more controllable. But it's still perfectly serviceable and can shred enemies.
The Butcher is fantastic. The reason tryhards really like the Betelgeuse is the unlimited ammo. It's nice standing on top of the building by a biolab spawn and never running out of ammo as you farm people running to the SCU shield gen or whatever.
The Butcher is straight up more powerful than the Betelgeuse. Easier to control, too. It suffers from reduced versatility due to shittier hipfire and not having unlimited ammo. One other HUGE fucking characteristic of the Butcher is that it comes with free soft point ammunition, with none of the velocity reduction. The most coveted weapon attachment is on it with none of the downsides whereas the Betelgeuse doesn't get it.
If you're good you'll do well with HA pretty much regardless of weapon picked anyways. The real issue of VS heavy is the Betelgeuse and that's because unlimited ammo allows you to do things no other heavy can. But hey, that's faction flavor apparently. But in a 1v1 showdown? It doesn't matter. If you were going to whine about something there you'd whine about the Butcher since it has that game on lockdown.
Are TR heavy weapons worse off? A little bit. The only two other LMGs VS has going for them is the Flare and Polaris. The TMG-50 is ultimately pretty much the exact same as the Flare. I can't really think of anything the TR has to match the Polaris. It could be changed. It's in a very good spot right now.
Here are your options:
Useful if you're just going to be playing point defense and you have good awareness. Only really works if you're not against any good opponents because someone who's a good shot will just rip through your overshield (headshots ignore Nanoweave Armor). Also good for saving on medkits if you're spawning through a spawn beacon only or something.
This is what most people run as a standard. You're going to lose 1v1s more probably until you get better but it's cheaper to cert into ASC than Adrenaline Shield and Resist Shield only requires 1 rank.
Newbies think Resist is shit because Nanite Mesh Generator bails their asses out because they activate it after getting shot. It requires a habit to form of activating it whenever you're shooting. You should also be activating it when you jump while fleeing since you don't suffer the momentum loss.
This is why you see people with higher KDs do this shit. They flee when an engagement isn't favorable and do a little cocaine fueled zig zag, jump, shield, medkit, maybe do it the other direction and when done right it's basically invulnerability. It's gay and cheesy but it works.
Also buy medkits. They are useable on every class and hugely helpful. You can't rely on medics and they don't instantly heal anyways which is what you really need sometimes. This is a cert investment you 100% cannot go wrong on. Max it.
