I love how everyone disregarded the charge up time for the new rail rifle...

We should stay cautious regarding the DPS stats as we all know the guns behavior is a major factor in how effective a gun is. Also, we dont have the accuracy rating for those new rifles. And we all know how the DPS from the machine gun seems appealing at first..
So yeah. Wait and see.
That may be so, but let's look at the rail rifle. It has a very long range on it. If it's particularly inaccurate, it's not going to effective at that range. If it's accurate enough to take advantage of that range, it outperforms most other weapons. My guess is that its hipfire isn't too great, or the aiming speed while ADS suffer greatly. A combination of both seems likely as well. I hope so. At the moment, the one mitigating factor to this is the very short charge up time before firing.
In a surprise turn around a corner in close quarters combat, that .2 seconds will be very interesting since user of other rifles will get instant fire ability. These rails on the other hand won't do well if the user gets into a situation where he can be ambushed... |

GEK-38 Assault Rifle: 72 meters Ah yes. This post will do fine. I love how everyone disregarded the charge up time for the new rail rifle... Does a delay of less than two bullet's worth seem like a significant enough balancing factor given that once you're firing you can fire continuously for eight seconds of high DPS at a long range?
It does when I'm popping in and out of cover shooting at you.
But again, we'll have to see when it goes live.
Another thing to note: I didn't see an accuracy stat. What if the hip fire of it was equivalent to the sniper rifle hip fire? Lol |
