Why are you complaining about a long range, single fire weapon's hip fire and dps?

My GLU 5 TacAR is fine, so is my duvolle TacAR

Don't worry it is getting a nerf, as it should, in 1.5. Wolfman has confirmed. Gallente plasma is supposed to dissipate shortly after it leaves the barrel. It certainly shouldn't be better than the scrambler.

The most hilarious thing about the TAC is the Duvolle TAC having 3.5 extra damage per round over the GLU. That's 63 extra damage for the whole clip! That's all you get for twice the PG/CPU!*

*note - to be completely fair, it also has a 0.1 improvement to accuracy, as if that makes any kind of difference.

It's got to be some kind of CCP joke.

Random numbers incoming... say it's 3.5 * 1.25 (prof) * 1.26 (guesstimated stacking penalized 3x dmg mods) = 5.5 ... If I put 10 rounds into a heavy that is a 55hp difference which could be the difference between "dead heavy" and "heavy that killed my ass while I reload". It's valuable in the same way Armor Upgrades V is valuable ... for those times you are left barely alive after a fight with 2hp and you can nod to yourself and say "yeah... gladd I got that ****" drop your gun, walk away, and smoke a blunt instead of bleeding out on the ground.

This entire ******* GAME is about incrimental advantages and diminishing returns. But diminished returns are nonetheless... returns.

[and for the record, it's the same 5% damage increase the Duvolle has over the Gek]

Incorrect - It does have an increased range over the standard assault rifle.

What do you mean? That tac ar was incredibly nerfed. 18 rounds and reduced rate of fire. The gun would be garbage if it wasn't for the range and damage. Idk what you are complaining about we can't even fight an auto ar if they get in range. Take this argument and go home.

I can't find it now, i just remembe a dev saying that it should soon feel like it can't compete as well against a laser or outer ranges of a scrambler. It may mean that these are getting a buff though.

TAR's getting a nerf in 1.5?

Well just another reason the Tac AR needs a Buff - It needs to have a purpose on the battle field.

- People who think the Tac AR has a longer range then other AR variants - Please show proof? other then breech I see Burst, normal and Tac all reaching the same range? If it is longer range it is an ineffective range for combat. I have been using a Tac AR since 2012

P.S - Having Scrambler and Laser Rifle are not the topic of this Thread. If you have issues with your weapon choice make your own thread about it. Please stay on topic (I understand a comparison - I found out here that scramblers and lasers need a purpose buff to. But I am not asking to nerf them, and you should not be negative to my buff suggestion either - I support a buff to give all weapons a purpose on the battle field.

All ARs are, apparently. They will probably do more damage though to compensate for their loss of range.

Because it is not Long Range - Did you read the post?
