not as much as the rail rifle or combat rifle.

Ok.. so the news is that the AR is getting nerfed and I don-¦t understand why.

I-¦ve been using this weapon since beta and at the same time gone through several changes in that time. I really thought CCP hit the spot when it was tuned last time but obviously I was wrong?

You see.. The AR is not like other weapons in this game. This gun is what (I presume) most of us use and/or have used at one point since this game came out. It is also the weapon new players will grab when coming over from other shooters. The AR is a classic and has been dealt with now for more than a year.

So why are we seeing yet another nerf for a weapon that works just fine? Why mess with something most of us vets agree on being in the right place where it is now? One would think there are other things more important to fix but no.. For some reason the gang at CCP see a reason to touch it one more time.

I strongly recommend that you, the developers rethink this silly idea and leave the AR the way it is. Stop this nonsense and get on with what really needs some work in Dust. Fix the RR. Fix the CR. Fix whatever needs to be fixed but leave the Assault Rifle alone.

Love & Respect.

All of the hitscan bullet hoses need a significant nerf. CCP is moving in the right direction. The AR has been one of the worst offenders for far too long.

Please.. Stop this nonsense and open your eyes.

All the Infantry Rifles were nerfed. The RR and CR were nerfed more than the AR. This translates to a buff to the AR in comparison to the RR and CR.

they are nerfing it so it doesnt have any kind of advantage over the other rifles

The real question is why doesn't the AR have the highest DPS... it's like CCP just keep missing that one tiny detail.

How to know what weapon is most powerful:
Read a scout's die-feed.

"Stiff breeze"
"Shadow fell on him"
"Bumped into a wall"
"Stung by a bee"
"Skilled into scout"
The list goes on...

Seriously...I might have to equip a cloak just so I can go and sob quietly in the corner.

I started using the AR on one of my fits and it seems pretty balanced to me. Sure I still prefer my SMG (getting nurfed T_T) but I can't deny the flexibility that is the AR from time to time.

They are attempting to increase the TTK, so it's not really a nerf. The AR is actually getting a buff, since it's only losing like 8% damage, compared to the RRs 15% nerf (thank god)

All the Infantry Rifles were nerfed. The RR and CR were nerfed more than the AR. This translates to a buff to the AR in comparison to the RR and CR.

Edit: It could however be argued that this is not enough of a relative buff to balance it against the other Infantry Rifles. There will most likely have to be another round of adjustments in the following patch.

So... to increase TTK... they buff Mass Drivers and keep HMGs the same... good idea!

The laser rifle on the other hand actually did need a buff.

Depending iif the percentage values of the Rail Rifle nerf are overtime or just damage per shot, The RR might be nerfed far more then the dev blog leads on..

Yet, with the mechanic changes and the brick armor tanking the AR will feel the pinch until shields become FOTM.

Not as much what bro?

The RR & CR are the flavor of the month. We have had many flavors of the month since beta.
