All the rifles are out of whack to be honest. For example the Burst and Breach variants of the AR are utter crap. The rail rifle can outmatch any weapon any time of the day, while the AR has become another Dust 514 novelty weapon.

The AR should be king at CQC period, the only weapon that should really go toe to toe with it is the Assault combat rifle and obviously the shotgun, any other weapon trying to go CQC should really have a skilled user behind it. The Breach and Burst Assault rifle should have their range buffed and their DPS buffed, the Assault rifle needs a DPS buff.

The Combat rifle is fine where it is.

The Scrambler rifle is fine where it is, except maybe make a charged shot slowly eat your soul away.

The Rail rifle (both versions) needs a range nerf so it is closer to the scrambler rifle but below the laser rifle. It also needs higher recoil or a longer spool time, something to stop it from being such a swiss army knife. It's just to good at everything,both long range and short range combat, and with its long range its obvious why this gun is becoming more and more common.

The Laser rifle needs a DPS buff and something to set it as the king of Long range engagements, and the dunce of short range combat.


Assault rifle = High DPS/Short range/Low burst damage
Combat rifle= High DPS/ Short-Mid range/Low burst damage
Scrambler rifle= Mid DPS/ Mid-Long range/Mid burst damage (High charged)
Rail rifle= Low DPS/Long range/High burst damage
Laser rifle= High DPS/Long range/Low burst damage/Powerful sustained damage (Terrible at CQC since damage must be sustained)
