This guy is absolutely right. The laser rifle is a very situational weapon. It excells in only a small range of effectiveness. I understand this, this is why my Amarr Assault suit greatly assists this weapon in combat.

Im mot sure how long the other suits can hold the trigger on this gun, but when i pull out a laser rifle, this is what i do.

I spurt a couple of lases to get my clip down to 88.

Then i pull out my ishukune submachine gun. If there ever comes a time where my sub is out of range, and there are multiple enemies that need to be taken out..

Then i pull out the ol laser rifle. The Viziam allows me to hold a stream of 88 in its entirety without overheating, so thata never a problem.

This weapon is for the Amarr Assault. I do not see it being useful for any other racial suit. I cam see how that is an issue.

The laser rifle should AT LEAST have different damage ratings for the beginning of its shot. But this is my opinion. Its effectiveness is clearly all up to the user. Know that sweet spot, and try to get alot of kills with one stream.

This weapon does wonders out in the open. Ive taken out 6 closely grouped prototype suits with one stream. This is almost impossible to do with other rifles. Other rifles you have to reload more.

But keep in mind the effective range, knowing when its okay to use it is paramount. Your hud will show you when you aim at them.

If you see 11% efficiency or whatnot, dont use the laser. Wait until its sayin 110% or 120%.. then let her rip!

Its like the game is new all over again. Its player intensity and renewed creativity that is driving up kills with new rifles. Ill bust out a duvolle and go 25/4 any day. That does not make it op. Same goes with boundless cr. I dont like rail or scrambler so I dgaf who uses them or how well they do. In dust 514 you lose to skill, experience and tanks not rifles. You are welcome for my leadership *Proven Aggressive Type

I'll use the RR for maps with long range combat and an AR for maps with close range combat. Unfortunately I don't have a CR yet, but then that will surely replace the AR in close range.

I want to see you "bust out" an Allotek Plasma Cannon and go 25/4 any day. If you can do that I'll call you skilled, until then you are a just an average rifle user. Going 25/4 with a rifle is child's play. Also, the rifles ARE infact OP. They make every other weapon in the game to be absolute because they can outperform it. Either they need a nerf, or everything else needs to be brought to their level. I would prefer to nerf them, because then TTK would go up. ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQTSTALLION... I AM THE STALLION

But, I have changed all my TAR fits to now use CR. To me the assault CR is pretty much a beast. Running around this place... Like Clint Eastwood in space.
HYENAKILLER X AGGRESSIVE TYPE 441	Posted - 2013.12.28 19:05:00 - [7] - Quote Infantry use rifles. Cops, swat, and cqc tactical use smg. Grenadeluachers are rare anywhere. The idea of dust 514, or at least what they market is a caldai drop suit holding a rifle. Ccp sells rifle combat first. Its not op, its the point of the game. Who cares if there is a "best rifle" Thats entirwly stupid and irrelavent. You are welcome for my leadership *Proven Aggressive Type

The funny thing is, a modest increase in effective range (at least give it the same range as the RR, which is better at CQC anyways, but thats a different story) would make this weapon right on par with the other 4 rifles, but knowing CCP, they will either do nothing, or overbuff the hell out of it.
