So I logged in 2 days after the update after hearing bad news from Corp members,
I bought lvl1 Combat Rifle to represent the Minmatar weapons and damn,
It is OP , fires super fast with bugger all recoil unless you are running/gunning
melts people way faster than it should just like the SMG which I have said before has way too much DPS

Watching my 500+ shield caldari squad member have his HP annihilated by the Rail Rifle
wondering why I was told it has a bonus to armour DMG .....
seems like a cool weapon but is hitting way too hard

The Scramblers now have to contend with the faster CR and longer range RR which is good but,
despite that drawback the SR is still OP and needs whatever multiplier it base DMG on lowered

And Gallente AR is now the sideline weapon at the moment with everyone trying new gear but due to its high
clipsize it is still a force to be reckoned with

but seriously .....

All 4 AR variants are stupidly OP, none perform as an Anti Shield/Armour because they all
drain either HP type way too fast, for the future of Dust 514 I really hope that the playerbase can actually agree that
the current weaponary is too strong and needs decreases to RoF and clip sizes

I won't even bother mentioning Tanks, they are insane

There not OP, the TTK is off a bit and when you add in hit detection when it is working you get a since a weapon or weapons are OP. The truth is the weapons are balanced. The CR is designed to be CQC as the RR was designed to be a long range weapon the second longest in range behind the sniper rifle. Please do not start these weapons are OP or nerf this or nerf that, I am sick of people killing this game. If you cant kill someone maybe its the player and not the weapon.


Ask for the AR to be nerfed for it is OP
Ask for the ScR to be nerfed for it is OP
Ask for the RR to be nerfed for it is OP
Ask for the CR to be nerfed for it is OP

Do you notice a trend, I know I do. Its not the weapons its the fact you F***** suck

I have used all AR variants bar the RR,
And I can do well with all of them despite having little SP into the skills
They are clearly too overpowered and the people disagreeing just want EZ mode all the time

... AGAIN!!! i have to explain this AGAIN!!! look, these weapon requires skill, the combat rifle needs accuracy and theres a delay between shots.

This, I have maxed cr skills and use 3 complex damage mods, kills anyone extremely quickly because, well, I'm using 3 fking complex damage mods with prof 5, damn right.

I don't think they understand that. Taking into account headshots and how (random statistic) 90% of the people QQ are running squishy suits. You have got to expect someone with Prof 5 Stacking damage mods will melt faces.

but part of the issue is that you other weapons cannot match that damage output, why is that so hard to understand? Putting a dmg mod on HMG or shotgun does not raise their dmg and the considerable range disadvantages to those weapons are a further hindrances. Meanwhile, rifles can walk around annihilating or seriously wound anything they see the very moment the see it

It's not that they are OP vs each other it's the fact that rifles beat every other weapon in the game. The niche weapons like a laser rifle, shotgun, NKs, HMGs are no longer viable. The rifles are almost as good as these weapons if not better in THEIR environment. Plus the added benefit of you know crushing these in ALL other situations.

AR class has almost no weakness vs every other type of weapon outside AV. You CAN'T balance like this, or you might as well get rid if those weapons.

I have used almost all weapons in the game. You have to find the play style that fits the weapon. Yes the AR's can fit most roles, but none has the killing power of the SG. 1 to 2 hits and most suits are finished, yes you have to get close, but that is what makes that weapon special. Wait until the NK are fixed and you are being stabbed in the back and its over before you can turn around. The LR can be used, it is how they use the weapon, use it at its optimal range and that is long distance, stay as far back as possible and put that scope to good use. Do not get me started on the HMG, at the moment it is difficult to use, but I still can rock with it. I just know that I have to be within a certain range and shove it up your A** and I win most of the time.

Yes I notice a trend. The trend is that the rifles are OP. The new ones are just as effective as the original AR, only they have the added bonuses of being effective at more ranges. It defeats the purpose of running any other kind of weapon.

Tell me, when's the last time you saw a HMG in PC?
