really RR isent OP only the combat is a bit, the only reason your getting killed so quikely is becuase your amour tanking and your at their optimal range, RR at point blank range does half the damage
AR noob

So RR gets a massive optimal that's about the size of the AR's effective range, but it doesn't sacrifice any DPS compared to the AR to get that huge range advantage; gaining huge advantages without gaining disadvantages as well is the definition of imbalance, advantages and disadvantages have to be balanced with each other.
Even if the AR fights an RR in the AR's own optimal range, the DPS between both rifles will just be about the same, and the AR doesn't have any decisive advantages even in its own optimal.
I'm not an "AR noob", I use SCR.

RR noob Cool

Mayby becuase you havent relised as you never used the 'OP' RR but having an increased optimal reange means at close range it Does Less Damage try briging a RR at close range agaist a AR, your sure to lose

Only the antique laser rifle suffers from a difference in ranges. (close)
