So i had a look again on the upcoming changes and did some math about the DPS potential.
Assault rifle:
-412,5 DPS
Magsec SMG:
-391,11 DPS
Rail Rifle:
-397,69 DPS
Combat rifle (fully auto variant):
-420 DPS
So the Magsec SMG is slightly worse then the Rail rifle in terms of DPS but has the range of a assault rifle which is kinda insane for a sidearm. The combat rifle trumps the AR in terms of DPS and will still be the #1 choice for close quarters. Sure the rail rifle lost its king position but range is just as important as damage and i think for overall gameplay the rail rifle will still be the best choice. Then you pair that thing up with the Magsec SMG and you have basically 2 primary weapons.
As i see it the hirachy of range is like this: (best>worse)
Rail rifle>Combat Rifle>Magsec SMG>Assault rifle
So i still dont see a point in the AR cause it got nerfed along the other guns to keep the balance exactly like it is now. Well you will deffo have some painfull time if you encounter a heavy up close.
I shall show you a world, a world which you cant imagine, a world full off butthurt n00bs at the other end of my gun

there is a reason why PC is full of rail rifles. big empty maps with chokepoints and only a hand full of players means range is king and beside that the DPS of the rail rifle is not far behind the others. this will never change unless the rail rifle gets a real drawback where someone using his brain cannot easily work around it. |

The new balance is the same as the old balance.

Again, the issue was all the other weapons being underpowered compared to AR/CR/RR/SCR. That being things like the Laser Rifle, Shotgun, Mass Driver, Sniper Rifle, and more. After how many months of AR514, please learn to stop crying. There will always be a fit of the month. This is not your month.
I'd like to be your CPM1 candidate

I've said this as well. Accuracy and range with little DPS shortcomings (also armor lenient) in the open spaces of Dust wins.
I tried Redline Railgunning
