Naw. If I want an assault weapon, it'll be the ACR. If I want the range of a rail rifle, I'll just use the rail rifle. I find the ARR hard to control around the 80m range.

It's been made obsolete by a sidearm in my case. I tried but it seems to kick a lot more this patch or I just got too used to the magsec's recoil. Speaking of which the magsec does 90% of what I used the ARR to do. The kick really reduces it's useful range so it doesn't even have that going for it.

I use the ARR on my CalLogi as well. It's a solid weapon for a combat logi and I like the range and stopping power it offers.

Like to pair it sometimes with the RR on my cal commando. Takes advantage of my rail prof 5 and the suit bonus. Its ok, but running the basic AR/RR instead feels more natural and it's cheaper.

Unless I'm mistaken, I think the Rail Rifle Operation skill's kick reduction may be on the fritz (like everything else). Its either that or they nerfed it a little harder than they let us knowGǪ.

Went Proficiency V Rail Rifle last build. Should've gone Combat Rifle. Can't win 'em all :-)
I've yet to find myself in a situation where I'd wished I had an Assault Rail Rifle. Standard Rail Rifle outperforms Assault variant at range while other Fine Rifles (AR, CR) outperform Assault Rail up close. The MagSec makes the weapon even less relevant. If the Assault Rail had zero "charge" time, I still don't think I'd use it.

Personally, I often find that the extra cost of variants compared to their performance makes using them unjustified most of the time. I am skilled into every rifle except the amarr ones though, so my perspective might be different than some people who aren't; because I can always use another gun that better fits the range and situation without resorting to variants. |

Yeah. I don't get why everyone doesn't have each weapon at least to advanced. It doesn't even cost that much SP unlike core skills like the Electronics and Engineering skills...

Not OP, but good for kill stealing due to the huge alpha. EDIT: It would be cool and good for long range guerrilla warefare. It would suck up close, but be good at range (it would be cool if it had more zoom and range than the Rail Rifle).

I was running around as a cal scout with sniper rifle and magsec earlier. it was pretty not bad. I'd greatly prefer a tac rail though as I could still conceivably use it in close quarters.

The ARR is better for longer ranges, the AR is better for close range spray and pray.
Both get outdone by the regular RR and regular CR thou, the CR being slightly superior since it preforms well at all ranges.

Yes, exactly.
We could call it...
The "Bolt." "Rifle."
Such technical wording may be too complex to understand for some. but visionaries are never understood by lesser minds.
edit: yeah, yeah, "rail rifle" blah blah. but its incredibly stupid that there is a pistol, that does more damage per shot, than the supposed rifle version. At least give us something like "breech rail rifle", that does bolt pistol damage, at rail rifle range, for cost of lower RoF.
Seems like this is the first weapon that any self-respecting caldari weapons researcher would make. |

I love my assault rail rifle. To me, the regular rail rifle just feels a little too easy to kill with. I want a challenge, but I don't want to be completely outclassed by every other weapon. I feel the ARR accomplishes this rather nicely.
Oh, and I would love to see Tactical and burst rail rifles.

And this would be a bad thing? BP is a sweat pistol, and once they unglitch the range it will be even sweaterGǪLow rate of fire on a TacRR would keep it from being the goto for FotM chasers.

I'm so spec'd into it (3 prof) that I haven't faced the reality that it is less effective until I hit armor. I am actually not sure where to go. The ARR has become obsolete. I'm too deep into the CQC battles to be able to effectively run normal RR. My AR is just no good anymore since 1.7 and supposedly it's been nerfed a few other times. Lately I've been running a cheap scout suit to get some RE's and uplinks and a few kills with my AR/ARR. After I finally die, if links are still strong, I come in heavy with HMG.
I have to come up with something better. I think I may go ACR since I've seen some MASSIVE success from other players. I may even go into shotgun and use the magsec with a damage mod since it practically as good or better than an ARR without a dmg mod. This is long term.
To answer your question: Yes, I still use it but it just sucks now in comparison to other weapons. People QQ'd so much. I had no issues beating RR users with my AR in 1.7. None whatsoever. A bunch of morons in slow suits would run clear across the map in the open and start crying b/c a rail rifle killed them. It was ridiculous. There was zero justification for QQ'ing over weapons in 1.7. ZERO. Actually, the only one was the shot gun. Of course they didn't nerf that one...******* unreal. Just thinking about the players complaints in 1.7 and CPM's lack of ability to convey a better reality to CCP just erks me. |

To echo other sentiments in this thread. I find the ARR has too much kick when compared to other rifle weapons. I personally find the SB-39 RR + M209 ASMG combo to be incredible myself. At the shorter ranges where the ARR would be more desirable over the RR the ASMG shines. |
