The '''Hyper-Assault Gauss Rifle''' (HAG) is a high rate of fire, low damage per shot variation of the Gauss Rifle used by the [[Clans]]. The technology is based on a series of capacitors and launching tubes to fire a multitude of smaller-caliber Gauss slugs.

With a long reach of 1200m, solid [[Damage Types|kinetic damage]] [[DPS]] and low waste [[heat]], the Hyper-Assault Gauss is a versatile weapon system that performs well in many combat situations. The HAG comes in 3 sizes (20, 30, and 40) each having the same ammo cost per ton. Projectile spread increases the further out the target is, and up close HAG is capable of outputting impressive pinpoint damage.
Jammed weapon cool-down times are used in this table, they are slower if the weapon is not jammed.
+
 
 +
Contrary to other similar weapons, the weapon bar (usually indicating weapon heat) represents the charge level of the capacitor bank. Larger HAGs have more capacitors in the bank and thus more charge, meaning longer burst times.

The Hyper-Assault Gauss Rifle (HAG) is a high rate of fire, low damage per shot variation of the Gauss Rifle used by the Clans. The technology is based on a series of capacitors and launching tubes to fire a multitude of smaller-caliber Gauss slugs.

Overview

With a long reach of 1200m, solid kinetic damage DPS and low waste heat, the Hyper-Assault Gauss is a versatile weapon system that performs well in many combat situations. The HAG comes in 3 sizes (20, 30, and 40) each having the same ammo cost per ton. Projectile spread increases the further out the target is, and up close HAG is capable of outputting impressive pinpoint damage.

Contrary to other similar weapons, the weapon bar (usually indicating weapon heat) represents the charge level of the capacitor bank. Larger HAGs have more capacitors in the bank and thus more charge, meaning longer burst times.

Gameplay & Hints

  • HAGs are used most efficiently by shooting full bursts until the capacitors go empty (full weapon bar) and waiting for the recharge. Unlike Ultra AutoCannons, that lose DPS for jamming, HAGs maximize their DPS by jamming.
  • Projectile spread widens significantly beyond 500m. Keep this in mind when attempting to target individual components at longer ranges.
  • Kinetic damage offers some bonus damage to air units.
  • Rapid fire and decent projectile damage can be useful against enemy Battle Armors.
