So I was reading the devblog and I saw something I was really hoping I wasn't gonna see.
You still nerfed the Breach AR.
I know it was a longshot, but I was really hoping you guys would let it have a bit more of a place in the game as a really viable damage dealer and not be such a niche weapon for people like me who just try to make it work against the odds because they can.
Let's look at its stats for a moment and I'll show you why I think that if you left it with its current values it would become a real option, while still not what would be considered OP or game breaking by any means.
Here are the old stats of the Breach versus a few other weapons of its type.
Breach AR
400 RPM
51 Damage per Bullet
36 Clip Size
340 DPS
Assault Rifle
750 RPM
34 Damage per Bullet
60 Clip Size
425 DPS
Rail Rifle
461.54 RPM
55 Damage per bullet
42 Clip Size
423 DPS
Assault Rail Rifle
600 RPM
45.04 Damage per Bullet
42 Clip Size
456 DPS
Assault Scrambler Rifle
705.88 RPM
36 Damage per Bullet
72 Clip Size
423 DPS
Assault Combat Rifle
1200 RPM
22 Damage per Bullet
68 Clip Size
440 DPS
So we can basically see that the Breach AR is a Rail Rifle with worse stats in every way.
It's less accurate
It does less damage per bullet
It fires slower
It has less range
It has a smaller clip capacity
The Rail Rifle puts out 25% more DPS overall
It just is completely outclasses by every other weapon. But let's look at the new DPS values after their nerfs of the weapons in 1.8.
BAR = 300
AR = 375
RR = 361
ARR = 374
AScR = 382
ACR = 400
Again outclassed by a minimum of 25% and up to 33% by the ACR. But remember the old value?
340 DPS
If we plug that in it looks more reasonable by a mile.
BAR = 340
AR = 375
RR = 361
ARR = 374
AScR = 382
ACR = 400
If it kept its default damage off 51 per shot it would be the highest per shot assault weapon of the full auto variants, but again would maintain an overall DPS that is still the lowest from its bad RoF and lowest clip size while being at least a little bit more competitive.
So I beg of you to at least please please please consider this or buffing it in some other way like its RoF; I don't want my Breach thrown in the dustbin.... |

Breach, burst, tactical AR got nerfed more than the ScR or assault CR. Makes no sense whatsoever. |

Honestly though, this is something that should be seriously considered. There shouldn't be weapons that literally have no pros vs cons and are just completely worse than every other weapon by such a margin that if you didn't nerf it in 1.8, it still manages to have the worst DPS of any assault weapon in the game...
Did I also mention the tougher fitting cost as well as it being more expensive?
C'mon CCP keep the old values for the gun or show some love for it in some way. |

Yes it does. There was less boosterlicious SP grind in those well-plowed fields. CR/RR will be nerfed to the ocean's floor in four months when the empty-tree replacements arrive, mark it down.
Unless you're just addicted to wetsuit paperdolls...
