Thanks for including the Shotgun, Flix. +1
"Slayer" Logis can already tank 3-4 blasts at current eHP levels.
3-4 blasts means 3-4 seconds.
That's 3-4 seconds in a 0.5 second TTK Scout Suit.
After flanking such a "Slayer", fully unaware ...
I must survive for a minimum of three seconds ...
while staying within 3-6 meters of "Slayer",
while attempting to evade AR / ScR hipfire from "Slayer",
while landing blast after centered blast on "Slayer".
Just like you, I'm split in two, before I can place my second shot.
But what do the AR and ScR guys say?
To strong odds, I'm entitled, as I skilled into an all-purpose suit and all-purpose rifle.
To strong odds, I'm entitled, even when flanked by a shotgunner.
To strong odds, I'm entitled, when engaging any niche weapon within its respective niche.
Fix TTK, but ignore the source of the TTK problem.
Fix TTK, but don't touch my AR or ScR.

SMG Proficiency & Sharpshooter V
Shotgun Proficiency V
AR Proficiency & Sharpshooter III <---- (didn't want to, but had to)
My BPO AR kills more reliably from behind than my Proto Shotgun or SMG.
I'm told Scrambler Rifles are even better, though I haven't tried them yet.
So which of the new Rifles will be the best CQC weapon?
The one with the longest range, maybe? |

It has been stated in the devblog that the rail rifle will have an extremely tight hipfire spread... *facepalm*
*facepalm* indeed.
But hey!
The Rail Rifle has to spool up and accelerate some particles first, prior to unleashing rapid-fire cosmic fury.
The Shotgunner will have several tenths of a second to place his 3-4 blasts.
I'm not much good with maths or the ladies, but those are pretty good odds, right?
It's almost like I'm missing something.
Can't put my finger on it.
Thoughts so cloudy.
The Calamity Ring stings.
Sense strange, magickal forces at play.
Or perhaps a minor oversight by CCP.
QA will surely catch it.
We'll be fine.

The thread is fostering thoughts of Highest Treason.
I stand witness. Aghast.
We've been blessed with a fine selection of all-powerful, all-purpose Rifles.
You dare criticize such generous gift!?
Have you no decency?
What I see here is an attempt to punish the best players simply for being the best.
I have seen through your thinly-veiled subterfuge.
I shall tattle on all of you posthaste. |

We're always typing things like:
The AR is OP. The AScR is OP. The ScR is OP.
Quite likely we'll soon be typing:
The Rail Rifle is OP. The Combat Rifle is OP.
Would it be OK with you guys if CCP buffed the remaining Rifles, such that every Rifle is OP?
We could refer to all over-powered weapons collectively as "Rifles" ... this saves time.
