I was using the attachment in Crysis 2 and I've gotten 50 or so kills with it but umm I'm wondering how.. Does this weapon do anything?!!!!

Talking about multiplayer. The projectile moves so fast you don't even know if it hits and when or if it does I don't get much feedback knowing it worked.

I originally defended the Gauss but after learning new information ive come to the conclusion that yes, it pretty much is inferior to the DSG-1.

A player has 120 health and 100 energy.
The DSG-1 deals 61 damage and ignores armor.
The Gauss deals 115 damage and ignores armor.

They are both two hit kills but the DSG-1 fires faster, can use a silencer (which doesnt reduce damage) and you move faster with it. Terrible balance ahoy. The Gauss needs its damage upping to 120 so it can at least one shot kill to the chest.

Not a balance problem exactly but on top of all of that the Gauss has terrible hit detection.

Talking about the attachment... I've used the sniper rifle version from a person I killed and the projectile is more easy to see. And with two shots to kill someone it works pretty..... Average.

My mistake. The Gauss is a decent back up if your magazine empties but I wouldnt run around with it as a primary. Its decent for long range headshots.

But I've racked up 50 kills with the attachment and only ONCE have I seen a person die from that alone.

ive got to admit the attachment is pretty useless i have only got about 8 kills actually only using the attachment but the great thing is the gause attachment can take down ceph gunships in about 4-6 shots so i onlt use it as an anti-air attachment . if you are talking about the sniper i am lvl 47 and use the gauss sniper all the time if you hit the chest or head it is one shot kill i know this beacause i have fully upgraded the sniper and i can kill people normally in 1 shot but sometimes 2 and also it can take down ceph gunships quite quickly.
