Precisely what he said. It's the Gallente plasma assault rifle, it's meant to dominate close quarters. It was only ever akin to being a jack-of-all-trades weapon back before we had the other assault rifles (just cause it was the only one around.) I agree it's outshined by the newer rifles, but I think that's really more a problem with them excelling at too many things than the AR not excelling enough.
If you want it to have a niche, CQC would be the way to go. Really, given it's short-mid range effectiveness, the CR fits the jack-of-all-trades better anyway, in my opinion.

The RR and CR should just get nerfed. RR gets more spool and way more kick in hip fire and the CR gets pauses between bursts like the AR variant. Also, the CR should be the anti Scrambler so it should be -20% effective to shields, but +20% to Armor.
So it should suddenly be an explosive weapon? Just cause you decided? You realize there's already pre-existing damage types with their own shield/armor efficiency, right?

This (IMO) could only be effective with the AR because it ALREADY has the MOST differential firing solutions.
It would remove all variants (but breach),and clear up player inventories from having so many ARs.
If you chose regular instead of breach it would go from 7 rifles to just 3 (one per tech level). It would make sense for a "knock off" to try and compete with its own unique trait.
But currently it's out classed by ALL other rifles individually.
ScR is a better 1 shot,CR is a better burst shot,RR is a better full auto (even breach can't compete).
But they are STUCK being good at that ONE thing,which is why there needs to be an ability for ARs to switch between them...it wouldn't be better just more flexible.
Again, you realize they're all getting all the variants, right?
