I have been using rail rifles ever since they were added. However, I cannot decide between the assault variant and the ordinary rail rifle. I like the assault rail rifle's rate of fire but I read that it has lower range. The assault variant costs more than the ordinary rail rifle. Does the price difference mean that it is better? What is your opinion? |

Its just more spray and pray, if thats your thing, I tend to be far more acurate with the normal base one but thats because i actualy aim with it, the assult version i use like a long range AR, wave it back and forth and hope they die. |

They are better in different situations equally. Assault is a lot better at close to medium ranges, city environments and buildings. The standard rail rifle is better at medium to far ranges such as open ground, on a structure, choke points with little cover etc.
The assault probably costs more because technology. |

The ordinary RR is a monster from a distance and up close. In CQC, if you good at aiming, it will drop your opponent easily. If long range, a lil strafe and nice aiming will drop your opponent easily as well. The assault RR just feels like it's missing something.
I prefer precision aggression instead of erratic aggression.

Purely situational. Assault variant weapons are higher RoF, usually better for close-mid range. As for the Rail Rifle has a lower RoF, usually better for mid-long range. Both can be used in any situation though, depending how good/lucky you are. |

I actually think I prefer the higher range of the original rail rifle. The assault rail rifle is faster but that does not make up for its lower damage and range in my opinion. |

The assault RR instead of being a sidegrade picks up too many cons and ends up being a straight downgrade. |

The standard is better if you have at least prof 3 and stack complex damage mods.

The assault variant has higher DPS actually, the advance has some where in the 450s, which is a 15 point increase over the samelevel AR, assuming the proto has a greater difference then that. So yyesregular is better at range, but an assault RR will gaurentee you out perform an Ar at led then 30m engagement Ar yes (not that rail rifles perform all that poorly in close range as is}
Hence why rail rifles are pending a nerf, or the assault rifles tactile. Varient should be buffed to out class za rail rifle :)
