Theres dust in the gun?

Oh that, talk to the "We hate everything with A and R remotely close together" crowd
Oh and then theres the "We know the scrambler is really good but we need to make sure they keep complaining about the AR so the SCR doesnt get nerfed" guys

Tactical AR nerf.

They were too good.
Now they're too ******.

4 more months til re-buff. Again.

Not...even o,0? I'm not dissing either gun...I just wanna know why as being both Semis... does one control better than the other? the glu would be a killer if it had as much control (and a better acog) like the scrambler Semi

Well you might not have been around a few months ago before the TAC was nerfed, it used to have a larger clip, better ROF, and less kick so people cried and cried to have it nerfed
Now the SCR while very very similar was relatively new at the time and not as widely used so it kind of slipped under the radar and remains a very good very useful weapon

I know it used to be a fully automatic, but i didnt know they nerfed it, either way I just want them to buff the ADS sensitivity for more accurate shots.

why nerf the aiming!?! thats like...stupid...if thats what you meant by nerf

CCP nerfs with a hammer instead of making incremental changes. If they could stop the knee-jerk reactions that might end up pissing off a lot less people.

They hit RoF, sway (kick), and maybe even DPS too.
I just bought a stack of them the other day, haven't used a Tac since Chromosome, and they kinda blow now.
The 400 RMP sounds good, until you start firing and realize that anything over 180 is almost impossible and would likely have you popping off wild shots at the MCC after about 20 rounds.

Same I bought a bunch of them way back but since then i've been exploring other weapons and ARs, then im like "oh **** i still haves some GLU 5's gonna go kick some ass! and I took a couple of test shots and was overjoyed that we finally had a semi auto AR (cus i've always prefered semi over full-auto) . But then I try to shoot someone with it...then that's where it all goes to hell...the entire time i tried using the bloody thing the opponent kept running away cus I just could not get that last shot off! my aim was pure shittastic .

Like i was even in a situation where there was a bunch of heavies and other players that didnt have my range, pinned in a corner and im thinking THIS was what the gun was for..but no..aiming from afar was worse than close range...ugh

Why is it that I can aim well with the Semi auto Scrambler rifle but the glu tact feels so jumpy?!

The TAC AR is one of the only nerfed weapons to still be useful.

You're all just bad.

This sounds like a deeper problem than a simple stats nerf, imo.

Is aiming intended to act differently on different weapons(i'm not talking about turn rate)? Probably not.

Dude...shut up...your diick only gets smaller from here....

my aim was pure shittastic .

Mind you the tac AR is a placeholder, a cheap knockoff, of the scrambler rifle just as the burst is supposed to be a crappier combat rifle they're not supposed to compet against eachother the SCR is ment to be superior period.

The Tac AR was never meant to be a good weapon. It's purpose was to give AR specialists a longer range option. It does that job.

It was nerfed previously because it gave AR specced people a weapon that had mind boggling DPS at all ranges. Now when they are picking a variant they know they are sacrificing a lot of DPS to be able to outrange pretty much every weapon out there.

If you want a semi auto rifle that's good enough to stand as a type on it's own and isn't a scrambler rifle you can wait till 1.6 gives us the rail rifle.

AR are getting nerfed to Plasma Rifles.

As much as I love my scrambler rifles, this is the way it should be. The ascr is supposed to just be an option for CQC for those specced into SCRs - it shouldn't be a gun that would stand alone as it's own class.

Though truth be told the vanilla SCR can outperform it at CQC too if used correctly. The high alpha of the charge shot and fast high damage follow up volleys makes it hard for most weapons to catch up to.

edit - and the name change makes me really happy.

Yeah you have a point.

But im at a point where i feel my ''TOXIN'' Assault rifle without skills in it is a Lot more precise and damaging than my Scrambler Rifle Operation Lv 4 ASCR with Proficiency 4... : /

I know what you mean. I've been using an 'exile' and it serves me just fine with 0 skills.

Long term I'd rather see the ASCR turned into something that's not just a re-skinned AR, though. maybe remove all dispersion and crank the heat build up way up so it's more akin to a cutting torch.

yep I gave up on the scrambler rifles because I can shoot better at range with the standard assault version lol.


I don't want the return of the tac rifle, but it could use a minor bump up, while the standard AR's and scrambler rifles need a tone down.
