RR users say the CR is OP. CR users say the RR is OP. SCR say everything else is op, but secretly 1HKO ADV med frames. AR users say there is no reason to use the AR anymore,but whip out a Duvolle and kill 4 reds with one clip.
Look people. The weapon that KILLS you will always be considered OP.If you use a Combat rifle and get KILLED by a Combat rifle,you will think:'' well , i was hurt'' / '' There were 2+ of them '' / ' I missed'' / ''The dude was just better than me'' / ''He got lucky'' / What Ever...
But as soon as the CR user gets killed by a RR,even if the one of the above reasons was in fact correct, you will automatically think: '' IT killed me even if i was shooting? its OP''.
Please. All rifles are VERY POWERFUL, maybe a LOT compared to other weapons. I've tested ALL of them extensively thou.
We Need to address the REAL issue here. We need 2 things BEFORE even thinking of nerfing the ONLY weapons in dust that actually get the job done:
1-now with Hit detection fixed, REMOVE AIM ASSIST 2-Slight buff to every other weapon
Discuss, thanks for your time.

Aim assist is still a problem? I've noticed most fire coming at me is far less accurate than it was.

The only problem is frame drops causing misses. All the rifles are just fine. Fix equipment spam, bad geometry and the few rendering glitches and its all good. |

Removing Aim Assist or even toning it down would greatly help with the RR being extremely proficient in CQC as well as removing the general rifle users that can't aim to save their life. |

Same with the SCR. I hate whipping out my SMG for Close quarters and the other a**hole just spams R1 and gets me...and im like:
''well that was n00bish,me being an amarr assault i could have done the same but for longer... : / ''

I using RR and from what i saw, rifles are nicely balanced right now.
How i see that roght now is:
RR (or how i nicknamed it Gaussie) - Long 2 medium range CR - medium 2 close AR - Somewhere between RR and CR
and finally that wierd duo (i meant it for me)
ACR - Its like weapon somwhere abowe it, i cant compare it but in hands of good player its deadly like everything what i told before. LR - I see this "burner" more like support weapon, something like oposite of "nadespawner" (mass driver)
I should try that AIM assist fix, i actually still feel like "oki this is close enought" everytime when conteder s near to me (5 and less)

i used to think the ScR was the OP god mode gun. then i did the math. turns out, i was right. highest DPS gun in the game, beating AV weapons even. the HMG and ScrP try to come close but still fall behind a fair amout.
To give you an idea, a prof5 3 dmg mods imperial ScR can do a little under 1400 dmg in a second. NOT considering charged alpha dmg. Count for 2 seconds, in that time its dished out about 2700 dmg. |

You are not counting the fact the Scrambler rifles have: Very high Fitting requirements ,specially PG The WORST drawback of all rifles, the Overheat mechanic.
The SCR is still the BEST rifle for med ranged ONE ON ONE engagements, but to face 3+ enemies its not the best option. Main reason the SCR rifle is by far the least used rifle at the moment.
AND REMEMBER, numbers are NOT everything.You ''Highest DPS'' is based on the hypothetical case one does not miss a single SHOT. Being a semi auto weapon is easier to miss Shots compared to other weapons. (specifically RR and Ar)

SCR OHKO's proto assault suit's don't let them fool you ;)
Most SCR users have charged shot's hitting at about 480-520+ damage then you add the headshot. Most brick tanked logi's limp away and are like "WTF.. even a Thales doesn't hit that hard" everyone else either dies and or is lucky.
Its just got a bit to much efficiency everything else is fine. Did they fix the overheat circumvent glitch? *shrugs*
We don't need AA no more.it hurts the game more then it helps.That or limit it to characters under 5-10m SP and it stops working.. it's just being abused and it's not the new players who benefit from it at this point. |

''SCR OHKO's proto assault suit's don't let them fool you ;) '' What proto suits? Last time i checked i couldnt drop a SINGLE proto logi,since all have at least 500ARMOR (and the SCR rifle has the worst penalty at 80% vs armor) and anything with 500+ EHP can Survive. If you are talking about PROTO SCOUTS, then i agree. If you are talking about a CHARGED SHOT , PLUS headshot, i think i kind of deserve the kill, and STILL,most of the times they dont drop,making me have to use follow up shots and having to take out an SMG if there is another enemy near...
''Most SCR users have charged shot's hitting at about 480-520+ damage then you add the headshot.'' So the rifle is OP because i can aim? Because im betting a 1 on 1 firefight on ONE shot? Im still missing the point here...
'' Most brick tanked logi's limp away and are like "WTF.. even a Thales doesn't hit that hard" everyone else either dies and or is lucky.'' 1 on 1 the SCR is powerful. I;ve said it, its probably the BEST 1 on 1 weapon in the game. But if you are with ANOTHER friend and you BOTH die to 1 SCR user,you are doing it wrong.
''Its just got a bit to much efficiency everything else is fine. Did they fix the overheat circumvent glitch? *shrugs* LOL no. In any case, making the SCR have +10% vs Shields and ONLY -10% vs armor would really fix it ;) Yea the glitch is fixed.
''We don't need AA no more.it hurts the game more then it helps.That or limit it to characters under 5-10m SP and it stops working.. it's just being abused and it's not the new players who benefit from it at this point'' Agreed 100% Before AA i felt special using the SCR rifle. After AA, not so much....
BTW , most people saying the SCR is so damn OP are probably AR users....I know bethy is.... CR and RR users are mostly ok vs SCR ,because they have the range to fight back. (Example: The combat Rifle hits 32 per bullet in 3 bullet bursts.This means if 1 bullet hits,at 1200 RoF , usually the other 2 hit too. Thats 96 Damage PER burst... AT STD level. With 5% penalty on shields and 10% bonus to armor...Having a good optimal range and better Hip fire capacity,they dont struggle so much vs SCR)

Being a semi auto weapon is easier to miss Shots compared to other weapons. (specifically RR and Ar) the reasons its not overused is because people suck at aiming, the RR & CR are new and fun, and most people don't knows its potential. Fact is the moment you're accustomed to the ScR you're not going to miss often at all like scrubs do when they try it out. Then theres the fact that everybody armor tanks and is easy to hit, and the few that don't are so squishy they go down in a few shots.
Honestly the overheat just does not matter much once you've learned to aim, and have the damage mods and proficiencies.
And all that SHOWS IN BATTLE, if you've ever seen someone w/ prof5 3dmg mods, chances are they went 30+kills EASILY, and if you fought them they melt you instantly, because the moment you aim down your sights you're either standing still, or moving like a turtle, and the DPS of his gun being almost twice as much as any other AR, shows pretty damn quickly.
You're saying the DPS doesn't matter because you can't reliably apply it- reality is you can- easily. EDIT* oh and fitting requirements do not matter- ever, i use a proto RR on caldari suits, still doesn't matter, especially since the Amarr AK.0 has almost as much PG & CPU as a logi without as many slots as other assaults, thing is ridiculously easy to fit. |

''reality is you can- easily'' Not as easily as with a fully auto weapon without overheat. There by my point.
BTW i usually think of the SCR rifle as a HIGH Damage rifle in order to be able to tank. IF ANYONE EVER sees me with an Imperial Ak.0,you'll notice i do run an assault with over 900HP because i DO NOT HAVE THE NEED for damage mods,since i use charged shots and aim for the head,always. This is what make The RR and SCR good weapons FOR ME.the fact they can work pretty well with HS bonuses and basic proficiency levels.
''chances are they went 30+kills EASILY'' same with Boundless CR, Six kin CR, Kaalakiota RR, Duvolle AR.... With Prof 5 and 3 dmg mods (lol) anything , even a Toxin AR will rip off your dropsuit,NO matter the dropsuit....

Proto assault suit's probably not a logi suit just sayin...
Not many logi's are running 500 armor... around 400ish also just sayin... (some high 400's)
One charged shot is doing 500 damage without having to aim at anything special.. just center mass which is easy to do with hip fire+aim assist in CQC even... if your good at aiming your doing 500 dmg + headshot damage... so yeah one shotting even most logi suits.
And we can't really talk about Aiming being relevant in DUST at all anymore.. its kinda lol now.. and it has nothing to do with hit detection.
Most players miss the diversity DUST had when everyone had individual aiming skill, strength's and weakness's... the "gun game" everyone romanticizes about from Chromosome. |

I love the LR and it is a support weapon, with a good squad I can do well. When I used to play more and lead squads I would have two AR, a LR, a HMG and usually tried to have a two CQC guys. We had no problems except when my killers were medium range. I would drop three or four different guys shields while my CQC guys pushed and the AR mopped up my mess. By the time my HMG got there the mercs would be down or into deep armor and the CQC guys would mop up.
Point is that the LR is best weapon but it is hard to use and can only be used in certain situations. It is the best support weapon and it does work well. If I wasn't such a bad shot I would be scary with the LR.
No sympathy for the devil; keep that in mind. Buy the ticket, take the ride.

I'd like to see all the rifles toned down untill the ttk is down to around 2 seconds if you stand in the open like an idiot. 3 if you brick tank, and about where it is now if someone is headshotting you. Along with the other weapons toned down a bit if needed to keep it even. Until then I'll keep cooking hotdogs on the barrel of my blaster soma.

''One charged shot is doing 500 damage without having to aim at anything special.'' Im sorry , im just a little amused someone who mained AR for a long time is implying the SCR is an EZ mode gun.

'' if your good at aiming your doing 500 dmg + headshot damage... so yeah one shotting even most logi suits.'' DEPENDS on the logi suit fitting. a 850+ EHP CAL LOGI? a 750+ GAllente logi/Assault? I havnt seen a lot of PROTO logis with less than 605 total EHP to be quite honest. If i get a Charged shot + Headshot + while being shot at + having to eye my Overheat gauge+ with a DS3 = i think i deserve the kill.AGAIN,its not even the case most of the times.
LEt me tell you what Dropsuits i've seen that have 400+ ARMOR that i've seen.Suits that can easily tank a SCR. GÖª Logis ALL of them GÖª Assault : G/1 series / Gk.0 / ak.0 / (sometimes even Ck.0) GÖª All heavies: Commando and Sentinels GÖª Scouts: Gk.0
So,this is more than HALF the dropsuits available to us.

To be honest. I do think Rifles are balanced. I've taken out SCR rifle users with EVERY other rifle, SMG's , Shotguns ,etc... Its very player dependent.

Still getting fked by duvolles, still getting lolstompedwtf with scr, getting ragged by RR and same with cr.
They are all a beast, iv waited for cr since it was just a concept image so that's what I use and its winmatar.

I think all the light weapons are very balanced right now. One weapon shouldn't be good in all situations. AR is a close and mid range smasher, CR is a close range beast and the burst version has decent range. RR can cqc but it's the king of long range. Scramblers are probably the most versatile but still not the best in every engagement, especially against multiple targets. Lasers are probably the weakest weapon as they are only good at range, but they still kill fast when used properly.
The only problem is TTK is too fast. But that is true from ALL weapons. Buff all dropsuit HP by 25% or more and see how that increases TTK and increase player survivability. |

Im just an Assault from suit to gun ;) never jumped on the logi bandwagon though I always end up regretting it at some point in the day of playing. my choice for gun was more pairing with a good assault friend with a ASCR in PC ;) nasty combo.
500 dmg for a charged shot and follow up shots and anything is dead, even 700-800 armor heavies before any decent defense can take place. i think its 400% shields 300% armor for a charged up shot efficiency? I'm just saying its a bit to high... My noob logi character one shot's alot of people with 400 armor and get's one shotted a lot with 486 armor lol180(something shield) and clone is still active.
But I would start with getting rid of AA, Every shot landing being player skill based is a huge start to people getting over their death.Then gun balancing in general should wait until we get all the racial variants... How about a Hybrid side arm so the Gallente Assault suit's bonus actually makes sense. and so many more....

Everyone wants longer TTK than we currently have.
Buffing all other weapons into line with Rifles doesn't give that.
Nerf all Rifles - a smaller pool of weapons, meaning a smaller pool of changes - into line with the other weapons.
Now, we have balance AND a long enough TTK for people to actually react to events. If you're blindsided, you're still pretty much dead, but it's not as harsh and with quick reactions and nearby cover, you have a chance to turn it around. |

I actually dont think we WOULD have balance. Would just be making space for weapons with SIMILAR TTK on top. You nerf Rifles, then everyone would be using Mass drivers/SMGs/SCR-P,etc....
So i dont think it would really solve the issue here...

Breach Rifle is OP man.
No but seriously. I'm getting used to it and it's pretty nasty both at a range and in CQC. It's rate of fire and damage makes it nice at long range and if you use it properly up close, most players drop within seconds.

So you're saying that if they nerf Rifles, there will be more variety in weapons on the battlefield?
And that would, by necessity, result in longer TTK than we typically see now because most of those weapons you listed don't have as short a TTK as Rifles.
How is this not exactly what the game should be aiming for?
You'll noticed that I said to nerf the Rifles INTO LINE WITH other weapons, not nerf them into comparative uselessness. If Rifles aren't significantly more OR less effective than other weapon options, those weapons will become viable again, and people will use them. BUT because Rifles are still an easy pick-up-and-go weapon, they'll still be more popular in general. |
