I was just curious if anyone else followed this train of thought, but here we go.
There are to be 4 kinds of racial Rifle class weapons. Blaster(Assault), Rail(Breach), Combat(Burst), and Scrambler(Tactical). The Blaster Rifle has one of each as a placeholder to allow all four rifle types to be ingame, even though the assets for them were not completely finished. Then we got the Scrambler Rifle, which I very much enjoy, but I always felt something was off with it. It's the Tactical Rifle, and a Laser weapon to boot, correct? So why is it that the Tactical class Blaster Rifle has a scope and a longer effective and falloff range, obviously designed for long range engagements, while the Tactical class (basic) Scrambler Rifles have a holo-sight and shorter range than their Blaster Rifle equivalent? Anyone else find this a tad disconcerting? |

That's kind of the point. The Tactical Assault Rifle, Burst Assault Rifle, and Breach Assault Rifle are all inferior models of their respective racial competitors, meant to give players who specialized in Assault Rifles options, but NOT meant to be better than the races that specialize in those features. For example, the Assault Scrambler Rifle is inferior to the Assault Rifle, especially once they fix it to actually overheat. |

The only time I ever see it in use is the prototype version. I used to use it a lot but had to move to scrambler after 1.2 Might be wrong but does anyone still find the TAC useful?
I find that it isn't used much beyond Proto because it is used incorrectly as a Spray class weapon, not as a Precision class weapon. Once the Fire Rate and Clip Size nerfs hit to try and force people to use it as a Precision weapon, it crashed the usage.
See my other thread for details

Probably by increasing spread, as the things are laughably accurate. Or maybe decreasing range on the variants while leaving the main AR relatively unscathed, as it is the gallentean specialty gun. |
