All I can say is its freakin horrible. I tried out the TAC AR and I had to knell to put rounds on target and even then if the target moved the rounds would just fly by. At the same time I am struggling to use this awful weapon, I am being rightfully owned by a standard AR. The AR had as much or even more range than the TAC AR did . I gave up using it after the match and could not even think of using it ever again. So does anyone else out there have any luck or is really good with this weapon?

I've seen some legendary users with it. It's similar to the Plasma Cannon and Commando. Takes some skill to use.

would be nice if the normal AR had the recoil you say the TAC does

Thank you! GÖÑ GÖÑ GÖÑ
Unfortunately, I'm afraid that the AR range buff will force me to pick a more ranged weapon (Rail Rifle, for example)... until the AR gets what it deserves: recoil. When AR gets some real recoil, I'll be back to my beloved Tac AR.
I hope it's soon and not SoonGäó

I actually thought the exact same thing about the SCR on day one honestly, but I remained persistent. Now I own with it. I was in a match with you earlier. I believe I dropped 48? Persistence is key. Learn the gun and its advantages/disadvantages.

Yes, Calvin, this is the problem. The AR has immense range and it's only going up with 1.7 (while the Tac AR's range is going to be decreased even further).
It's not going to be a great weapon in 1.7, but right now it is. I run a Tac AR 95% of the time and I did my best scores with it

You must be bad. Friend of mine racks up serious K/Ds with that thing, and she doesn't need to crouch or even slow down.

Maybe it is me, I have no problems with any other weapon, but this one. Maybe I need to really work on it. After reading a few post it sounds like it can have a lot of potential. I will try it again and see if I maybe using it at distance that far exceed the weapons ability.

This gun is fantastic.
It just takes a little while to get used to.
I've been pulling some great scores with it on a Scout suit, you've just got to remember, that its a niche weapon.

I do quite well with the Tac at 60-80 meters away; closer than 60 and it gets a bit hairy.
Also where did this rumor that the regular AR is getting a range increase come from? The range for it in 1.7 seem the same as the range they showed us back in 1.2 So unless they stealth nerfed the range sometime after 1.2 then it's not changing with 1.7.

The tac is great. If people are getting you with regular ar, then you are still in their range. It isn't something you want to run as a Logi though. |

I love my TAC rifle, but unfortunately with the range buff to the assault rifle, I fear that it will no longer be as viable as it is now.
But don't worry, I have a plan.
I'm going to skill into rail rifles and then start begging DEV's for the Tac version of that.

Map choice is as Important as skill with the weapon, open maps are ideal for the TAC while maps where most of the action takes place inside of compounds are better relegated the assault variant. |

I prefer the TAC scrambler rifle. but then again, that's probably because I have prof.5 fitting to 3, and ammo to 3, while I only have AR to 3.
Tell me, how exactly DOES a biscuit gain Valor?

amazing gun,the glu5 packs a lot of damage
the duvolle tac ar is OP (srsly,a dude comes from behind,i turn around *pop* *pop* *pop*two shots and a headshot to finish him off)
I can hit an enemy easily even while strafing,
it just needs love,passion and time.
I personally love the gun more than the standard AR because it requires skill to use.
here is a tip, try to anticipate the enemy's movement e.g left,rightand shoot there,or just keep the dot on their bodies
good luck

its like all weapons, you will be owned if your not optimizing your weapons strengths. you will also be owned if you are being shot at by a dust player with pro. 5 in AR and complex damage mods. best thing to do is to be far off or get close but shoot fast. you only need to pop off a few rounds to kill most players.

Yep. Crazy how a full auto has next to no recoil and a single shot has a sh*t ton. Balance FTW.
EDIT: as for the TAC AR itself, it has it's place. I can do well with it, even hip firing at close range :) I don't use it often though, as the scrambler rifle is much deadlier in close quarters.

You basically have to use it like a Auto-sniper rifle.. load up damage mod's, take your time with your shot's and make sure most of them hit the head or just don't hit...(they flee before you can kill them without headshots)
The ROF nerf for the Turbo controller issue on the TAC..
ROF nerf on a semi auto rifle has made it near impossible to Fire -> While acquiring aim
So the weapon is reduced to being used as a sniper rifle would.... |

Just out of curiosity... what is the disadvantage of the SCR? :)

propery range is vital but pretty much the only weapon i use good for killing scout close up too. pumping rounds at the proper rate and not firing on the kick also helps

I reckon if you have solid hit detection and a great internet connection the TAC is pretty good.
there are still a few people who can wreck with it and it surprises me when I see it in the kill-feed.
I reckon it all comes down to the terrible hit detection with the TAC AR and also my ****** internet.
lol now I kind of want to use it again just for the hell of it. |
