Not really, as they will call BS (as usual) and demand a massive damage buff, or nerf to everything else.

Maybe the sweet spot is 25 bullets militia and 30 basic, 35 advanced and 40 proto.

Sounds more balanced and tiered than one magazine size for all basic, advanced and proto??


I prefer small changes to aid balancing instead of Mjolnirs nerf strikes.

you gotta remember that these are future weapons and they AR is not really firing bullets but bolts of plasma. I would be questioning why the Sub machine gun has 72!

i like this idea. ARs are entirely too powerful and reducing the clip would be a great balance without changing the other numbers. I like changing it down to 40, and then 30. Have 40 as the control number, 30 might be too little so test it at 40. But the devs wont do this, and if they do, it will be pushed back

who cares? its bad for balance

These have 20 and 30 bullets per magazine.
I do not sell these but hmmmm perhaps its time for me to adopt a new hobby?

yeah i completly agree bro, they should have 30 round clips like litterally every AR to ever exist in the history of anywere, but dust doesent make sense, it never will. Dust is dumb, everything about it, nothing is logical here. Armor tanks are faster because armor plates make you slower, hmgs are now gattling guns but ARs shoot further and faster, grenades blow up tanks no one knows whats going on. So its kinda pointless to make real sense of things. its not going to happen

I like this idea of tiering the clip sizes but 40/50/60 would be more appropriate IMO.

lore wise its easy to make sense.

Design wise... that's CCP fault.

BTW the original AR in Halo had 60 bullets.

Well I liked the original AR from Halo 1 and it felt balanced back then, but you could only reload it twice before you magged out but it was no instant killer like our Plasma Rifles are.

yeah the weapon had its pros and cons. Large clip but lacked extended amounts of ammo and the damage was par.
In dust, you get a large clip, more than a fair amount of ammo and the damage is hands down the most devastating anti infantry weapon. Nothing is ever done to stop the AR, out of my entire stay here the only nerf ive seen to the AR were the camera scope removal and reducing the clip on the Tac rifiles. Hey, that balanced the Tac. Why cant we balance the full auto AR in the same way... when the players are asking for it? Surely that wont balance the weapon or anything

And heres the problem in that Dust 514 ARs are instant killers and this then is UNBALANCED.
Therefore to restore balance lower magazine sizes are needed.

There are other weapons with near similar time to kill amounts though so I am not sure what the TTK goal is for the game so even if you nerf it to 30 round mag its still going to down people near instantly and most folks reload between kills. So overall a magazine nerf alone is not going to 'fix' it.

Maybe higher dispersion because the damn thing is near laser accurate right now.
