I'm not sure if it is the damage so much as the rate of fire. Humm. Its a tricky one. Wouldn't call it a solid weapon. I rather use an SMG than an AR, I'm serious. Actually after coming back to DUST after a break I can see a few glaring things.... The bullet slow down mechanic when you are shot NEED TO GO ASAP! Combat Rifles have a little too high RoF and HMG`s are too strong while this slowdown mechanic as you are hit, is in place. It is crazy now how many rounds I have to put into certain enemies now when I am using my Toxin AR. Most heavies take multiple clips to down, and the whole time I have to watch my range and dance around them.... hoping they dont get to cover. Its an interesting scenario, but really that slowdown needs to go, really needs to go.
Multiple clips? You must be hitting heavies that have someone repping them, either that or not at the right range, since I know an AR can take down most heavies in a single clip, if they all hit and you are also not going against a Gallente or Amarr heavy. Both of those racial variants of the sentinel have protection against ARs (I think) and high armor which the ARs are not great against, ARs are meant to eat shields, but get a tooth ache when they hit armor.
The CR is one of the if not most broken of the weapons in the game, these things are replacing shotguns for how high the dps is, and they can even do it at a greater distance away. They can mow people down at 100m+ and do really high dps, along with high accuracy and great at close combat. They need to either be med-long or med-close for how they work, they should never be doing so much damage that an AR can't compete with them which is what is happening now.
If I was to pick a gun to fear between the CR and HMG, the CR wins hands down every time, even at close combat range. because the amount of optimal kill zone for the HMG is actually tiny, you can be either to close to them for them to really hit you or you can get your distance away from them. Especially if you are using a scout suit which most CR users now use, the CR currently beats all rifles, in nearly every single catagory, except for the laser rifle at the laser rifles max range, and even then the laser rifle barely wins. |
