I find it balanced, the only concern is how quickly you can ADS. I've noticed the adv rr snaps ads a lot quicker than the basic one and roughly the same as the proto rr.

Idk but I feel the rail rifle is "my" weapon. It is the weapon that feels most comfortable. I don't know how to explain it other than, it just feels "right" to use a rail rifle.

A parody explaining how I feel lol.

I find it buggered, the only concern is how quickly you can ads, iv noticed the ADV RR snaps ads a lot quicker than the basic and I still suck with it.

I don't know but I feel like a complete nub with it. It is the weapon that fks me in a a$$. I don't know how to explain it other than, I fking wish I was good with it.







Its the only weapon I can't use well and I don't know why, I guess I just need to htfu and git gud lol

being killed by hip fire form RR at 40-or less is not balance. especially when useing a duvolle.

40 or less is where the AR is ''supposed to shine'' but apparnetly RR dosnt have a conecpt of range.

You can say the same about the CR too , let's not forget .

the skill gap is so compressed, that itGÇÖs like a slot machine. You might as well just sit down at a slot machine and have a thing that pops up an says GÇ£I got a kill!GÇ¥ TheyGÇÖve taken individual skill out of the equation so much. So you see these guysGÇöI see it all the time, they come in to play Red Orchestra, and theyGÇÖre like GÇ£This gameGÇÖs just too hardcore. IGÇÖm awesome at Call of Duty, so thereGÇÖs something wrong with your game. Because IGÇÖm not successful at playing this game, so it must suck. IGÇÖm not the problem, itGÇÖs your game.GÇ¥ And sometimes as designers, it is our game. Sometimes we screw up, sometimes we design something thatGÇÖs not accesible enough, they canGÇÖt figure it out, we didnGÇÖt give them enough information to figure out where to go... but more often than not, itGÇÖs because Call of Duty compressed their skill gap so much that these guys never needed to get good at a shooter. They never needed to get good at their twitch skills

It's ridiculous period, it makes the Laser Rifle and the Mass Driver terrible. Why the hell is the RR losing nothing outside of optimal, while these 2 weapons are garbage outside of optimal and they still lose in optimal to the RR?

the rail rifle does make other guns useless, like laser.

Now that you mention it, I barely see anybody using a laser rifle anymore, haven't seen one in a while.

...or basically any other weapon that doesn't end in 'rifle'. When I get killed something other than a rifle, my eyebrows raise in surprise. Nova knife kill? Mass Driver kill? Golf clap, red, golf clap.

Short poll so i can see peoples answer.

Up close weapon tears you up.

Medium range. Weapon tears you up.

Long range. Weapon tears you up.


I feel like it either needs a 0.65 charge time to be balanced at close range.

bigger hip fire dispersion. Or lower damage in close range, kind of like the laser rifle. But not that severe though.

I find that this weapon really has no drawbacks. the spool up time isnt long enough to hinder the weapon in CQC.

The rail rifle just does so much damage that you really cant do anything about it after it starts hitting you. Perhaps a lower ROF could fix that.


Something needs to be done so this weapon isn't super deadly at all ranges. It has great range and great accuracy.

I wish all AR weapon (excluding laser rife) get a 15% reduction in damage and explosive weapons get a 65% damage reduction vs shield. Yeah so many hate my idea.

Edit: Damage profiles that CCP came up with for Dust weapons suck balls and is are so half ass, really what the point in even having it.

Fully agreeing +1.


RR works so well at close range, once more we have long range wep with no hipfire limitations.
It is superior to TAC AR in all ways so TAC is officially obsolete.
I'm now mostly RR user.


Even though hipfire spread increase wasn't my first thought it could work.


Still biggest discrepancies are:
- Spool up time is so small it does not really affect. Only sniping moving weak/injured suits at great distance it is a hindrance.
- The clip size is huge. I guess CCP theorycrafted that the 'long' spool up forces users to keep trigger pressed and waste ammo spray'n'pray style. Well that's not the case. With single clip you can kill 4 reds.


I'd say that first order of business is to increase spool up to double the 1.7 spool [EDITED from 1 sec], and then see how it is. If that is not enough, then slight clip size nerf.


Edit: due to brainfart I remembered current spool is 0,5s, therefore I suggested too long time. Intent was to double the current, that's all.

**** anyone that says this **** is balanced.


So far, I have only successfully countered a Rail Rifle once with an AR, which is supposed to be more effective in CQC.

Winning a 1vs1 with most guns does not rely on the gun in 99% of the cases but about how you are able to aim with it, most people are terrible shots upclose, it also relies of target threat assesment when there are more people up close on your viewscreen and the guy running away from you is the least threat so he dies last, the guy noticing you but not firing dies secondly, but the guy that is already firing at you is set primary, now if at any point something changes in the scenario like the guy firing at you stops shooting and turns around to run for a hill when your gun sets him down to 50% armor, you should swap to guy number 2 that is now firing at you, so when he dies you just have to mop up the 2 runners.

Its amazing to see how almost nobody does this on the field, you can also mix it up a little with using mobile cover using opponents to hide behind that are unable to hit you.

Most peoples tactics in CQC seems to rely on the gun while standing still still in one spot to pull them through, then when they get facerolled are appalled how their so called CQC weapon failed against another weapon thats not soo good in cqc.

Ive killed people with the CR at RR optimals while they had a Rail Rifle or SCR, its not rocket science people, bullets that don't hit their target deal 0 damage.


Its like when i had a match against CEO_Pyrex and he thinks of himself as an OK to GOOD player like he said in his recorded movie where i went up against him, i dropped 2 of them before they could properly Aim at me and he wondered how thats even possible....so he came to the conclusion that i had to be cheating "Somehow"

He later on revised that to "I F*CKING hope this guy dies in a f*cking Fire" when i mopped up his squad of OK players, so when i watched the movie from their perspective and on points where i waste them and leave them thinking HOW is that even possible.

They barely grazed my armor while i remember myself not missing a single round to his face, why do i remember that ? mostly because i never miss...

http://www.twitch.tv/ceo_pyrex/b/479434570 <-- thats the movie i am talking about...and if it was because the SCR being OP, please explain how i am doing that with RR and CR aswell.
