AR doesn't require skill. Just hold R1 and swipe your hit-scan death beam across the enemy a few times ??? Profit!

They require the basic human motor skill of hand eye coordination that is all.

You are aware that AR are in every Shooter in history right, as a matter of fact in real life too.... So how is a weapon which is the most commonly understood weapon be not skillful when everyone understand precision is key to skillful shooting...

No need for precision, just swipe away! It's so easy mode even the basic starter suits come with it fitted. I'm ashamed of myself whenever I got from my scrambler pistol doing about 12/0 and pick up the easy-I-WIN-button AR and knock out a 22 kdr. It's so easymode even YOU can use it :D

lmao yes i can use it because it so easy than i point and shoot your body... but MD and flaylocks are godmode easy since i dont even need to point at your body to get the hit i just gotta shoot your feet 2 meters away from you....

We can run in circles about this buddy but which is easier?? shooting directly at your body, or shooting 2 meters away from your body and still hitting you....... please tell me you have the common sense to give the correct answer

Honestly the AR is not a skilled weapon. Its not as easy as a mass driver but its still not a skilled weapon. Sniper guns sure are but i wish they had to account for wind and bullet drop.

I'd like to see you hit a moving target at a slightly higher elevation from 50 yards with an MD.

Who cares about that? What about when theres 2 or 3 of them right in front of you?

AR, snipers, Scrambler, and anything which requires precision without splash damage is skillful.....


Massdrivers, and flaylocks are not skillful..... WTF is so difficult to understand about that? splash damage vs on the mark hitting your targets, but for some reason some people believe MD and Flaylocks are skill based even though it has a blast radius.... Its like if i was saying Rocket launchers in halo are skillful weapons.... holy smokes. weapons are pretty appropriate right now, maybe the mass driver could use a distance nerf and thats all. And the railgun turret (small one) could use some actually buffing.

But as of right now I feel the weapons are in their appropriate places...

Back in the beta, there was a test Sniper Rifle you could buy that had a physics system. I never sniped enough to get around to messing with it myself, but some people thought it was fun; mostly it was considered a hassle I think. Sort of like how dropships are now flying bricks that seldom see any meaningful use versus the fun helicopters they used to be.

That also applies to the SMG, HMG, assault scrambler rifle, laser rifle, large and small blaster turrets, and in the future likely the magsec smg and a possible assault variant of the combat rifle and rail rifles

So quit being salty just because you were killed

basic which is the key word

your an idiot, the bullets made contact with you body because i pointed it at your body.... while flaylock or MD i just gotta aim at your shoes and miss several times but you will still die....

To be fair, when not used in CQC the MD does require a slight bit of skill but that skill is simply getting used to the firing arch and the travel time at various distances. However most don't use it that way; most just hop around like a jack rabbit 1-15 meters away from you while shooting in the direction of your feet.
