I know that there is a thread somewhere about this, but I couldn't find it...

I think that the Carb-9 is a bit over powered...
I was playing as a heavy, and I was getting killed by LIGHT's who were using it... (Human players)
And it took them only half a clip or so just to bring me down.

I think that the gun is a bit ridiculous if it can have such a fire rate and damage... The heavy weapons should outmatch those weapons no problem. (IMO)

I don't know, I'm going to experiment a bit more with the heavy later on, maybe it's just the oversized body type -.-'

So yeah, I'll check and see and update what I find

There isnt just A thread about it, theres a dousin.. what you should CHECK for is the search feature.

I c wut u did thar.

On-Topic: I completely agree, everyone uses it to add salt on the wound of how unbalanced it is! Other then its over use by the public it gets annoying how fast it incapps a player...

Grammar nazi's shall rule! :flamethrower:

Back to the point, I've seen only one on this section of the forums...

Just watch one game on Brink TV and you now what weapons/maps/... are used all the way up.

Perhaps because Its a GAMEPLAY issue as such belongs in that section ?

PS: Nice hobby, what other tricks do you perform? sit? roll?

For god's sakes NO, that thing is complete and utter [censored] beyond close quarters. I know I'm starting to sound like a broken record, but these threads are getting annoying. If the Carb was nerfed it would be unusable. The fact is, it has the worst recoil of ALL SMGs and the 2nd worse spread behind the Tampa (which is essentially a machine pistol anyway) which makes using the damn thing all down to sheer luck beyond close quarters... and there's a difference between close QUARTERS, and close RANGE (the most common range in Brink).

I struggle using the Carb at close range or beyond, because even burst-firing ADS is like an earthquake simulation and hip-fire just comes down to wildly throwing sprays of bullets at opponents like a shotgun. The Carb has high damage which is great at point-blank range, but it has a huge trade-off in that it suffers at ranges that the Bulp, and even sometimes the Kross or Galactic, can work at with ease.

Ummm thank you for the legit reply? ?



Hmmm... Maybe, I tend to stray from other forum sections I've seen a complaint on Carb-9 on this section before, I thought I'd vent out my frustration here because I couldn't find the last topic
And no, I don't sit and roll, I worship Basemant Cat

And chill out, just a joke o.o

Okay imma go over this nice and slow since you seem to have massive assumptions otherwise.

Okay, yes, I did point out a stupid ordeal -.-' This is why I don't make new topics -.-'

Lock plz.

Nah the carb-9 is fine, its recoil is bad. It bounces about quite abit. And IMO there's better weapons.

Oy, no, I'm just rather critical about posts is all. Just search before asking questions and don't make hollow complaints.



Recoil is bad, but if you fire in two-shot bursts, it's much too easy to control.

The Carb-9 to me is just fine. Has the highest damage amongst all the smgs and but for its trade-off....no accuracy. I hate using the gun. My favorite since it's a "versatile weapon" is the Bulpdaun. The Carb-9 should stay where its at. No adjustments needs to be made.

Use it like a pistol when ADS. You bring down enemies really fast. 'No accuracy' my ass!

It's not entirely versatile - Bulpdaun has its own pros and cons.

Bulpdaun gets the best ADS accuracy but least mag size and slowest equip speed of all SMG's.

Misread or misunderstood?! Not sure. For me it's my all around weapon! Sounds better. It has the Famas feel when I use it. Can even snipe with it too. Everyone has there own weapon. Clip size is a downfall, but, the multiple headshots I lay down make up for that! :thumbsup:

The Carb 9 isnt overpowered.I play with it and i tested all weapons for some time.The Carb is only crap by zoom in and the accuracy on longer distance svcks alot.In infights its good but not to powerful.I only use that Carb because i have the fallout skin.Generally the Bullpdaun is alot better and a much more better allrounder.Damn that i dont have the Doom DLC.

PS : Sry for my english.

Your english isn't that bad, and it's certainly better than some other posters here claiming to be college graduates and professional-men.

I suppose it's all a matter of preference. I do feel an attachment towards to CARB-9 - it's my allrounder weapon - but that could very well just be my preference.

I, personally find it to be quite useless (in my hands) and am not killed by it too often on the servers i play.

I dont see whats so great, in my view, the kross is FAR more versatile and has alot less recoil

The Euston and Carb-9 need to be toned down. And the minigun needs a boost in damage. I tried it and it was laughable.

Carb-9 shines when you are capable of using the revolver or sea eagle for long range engagements and use the carb-9 only for cqb. But doing this obviously has a the downside of switching between weapons as well as having a disadvantage in firefights between close and medium range. The bulpdaun is much better if you want one weapon to give you the ability to fight effectively at most ranges. in fact, the bulpdaun seems to be better at close range than the carb-9 as well, provided you don't have to reload. besides, a nerf to the carb-9 in any stat area, with the possible exception of equip speed would make it entirely useless.

I've started getting the Carb-9 to actually work for me well finally, by equipping foregrip/MB/extended mags. No sight/scope. Still really [censored] hard to kill anything ADS that isn't right in front of you though, it's definitely unreliable.


The Euston? The worst full-auto AR available imo? :huh:

I've started using it as a preferred secondary on my Heavy Soldier. I didn't like it when I was Medium and focusing on silenced weaponry, but with a Muzzle Brake, Red Dot, and GL attachment, it works rather well for my playstyle.

Funny enough the Euston is like a SMG that you can attach a grenade launcher to. Been doing some tests with weapons I did not use before and for a close range fight the Euston is killing those carb users. Better accuracy, better damage (it seems at least) and when I get a lot at once... nade them down baby!

How could you possibly think the weapon that does the most dps in the game is the worst? :confused:
