I put down my MD and picked up the AR this week, slowly investing my future combat rifle SP into it. I have a GEK-38, sharpshooter level 3 and can solo anything but a Duvolle or proto heavy with a boundless toe-to-toe. I'm killing scouts, MD users and just about anything else in my way just by hip firing. The only time I actually have to ADS is against laser users, hitting them just outside of my rendering distance. My KDR has shot up 0.11 in a day just with aim assist on and hip firing, getting 10-15 kills a match on average.

The AR is still a placeholder and the default rifle until we get the combat and rail rifle. Once those come into the game's meta the AR we have now will get nerfed re-balanced and named the plasma rifle, blaster rifle, or whatever the hell it's supposed to be to eliminate the confusion of it being compared to a real life AR-15. |

Burst needs some serious attention as well. Fired a whole clip at an unsuspecting target from 39m and barely 12 hits landed and dealt damage... from separate bursts. |

After 4 hours of horrible matchmaking and heavy loses, i decided i needed a break of running around with my beloved laser weaponry,as powerful as it is Its not very effective against MULTIPLE enemies at the same time and thanks to mathmaking i was running into 3+ reds all the time..... I had alredy lost 0.03 K-D ratio that night and i just wanted to play good and win some...
I put on a GEK. I must admit i have NO proficiency with this weapon nor i used Cx Damage mod.
I'll just say my K-D ratio went up 0.04 in 1 hour.....
The only thing i must mention becasue i felt cheap, was killing a Laser user while my ''optimal range'' said 60% and he probably had 120%-100%...and i won. LOL
I agree. Out of all the kills I've collected with the AR, I can't say that they were earned. Point in a red's general direction, hold down R1 until they die, rinse and repeat. Truly a no skill weapon. |
