I've been trying to make them work, I really have, but the Standard CR/RR does everything better.
Countless times have I been fooled thinking, "I got this," after seeing an enemy's shields get stripped away, but as soon as I'd hit armor, things would end horribly for me.
At range, I'd perch myself on something high and tell myself, "I got this," as I ADS on my TAR, but as soon as a red falls back to a distance of about 70m, I usually find my self eating CR and RR rounds.
I give up. Guess I'll play with my Flaylock for bit. |

I wouldn't say wreck... But it's more useful than a bolt pistol at close range

The Breach still has insanely low DPS so even if you manage to get the drop on an individual, there's still a chance he could easily put you down at a faster rate than your could have.
It was nice knowing you guys.
But I'm done with DUST. So long guys, it's been an interesting Journey.
Sgt Kirk, out.

I've noticed something as I try to make adjustments to cope with the lag lately. One of my adjustments is to change my display to standard definition. When I use the TAR in high def. it sucks. When I use the TAR in standard def. it's pretty good.
Could it have something to do with hit detection and how well the game is running at a given moment?

The Breach also has the lowest light weapon DPS in the game excluding things like the swarm launcher.
You have long since made your choice. What you make now is a mistake.

I like my TAC and Burst and breach ARs. Maybe its just me but those types of weapons are my niche.

As long as plasma rifles have a penalty vs armor it will be as OP wrote; once the shields are gone the plasma rifle gets bogged down and the enemy has time to hit back and win.
Hopefully the hotfix boost to damage will improve things a bit.

One of my most fun fits pre-1.8 was range tanked G-1 Scout with Breach AR + Breach Flaylock + Sleeks. Too bad they're kittening the GalScout, thought I was going to get to run that character again.
Reality is the original Rorschach.
Verily! So much for all that.

The breach has worse range than a standard AR.

Where are you getting your info from ? The breach melts scouts in seconds and 9 out of 10 I win
If you run proto gear, prepare to suffer the consequences. You've been warned.

Lol/pointing@anyone using tac ars. The breach has worse range than a standard AR. That's why I only use it on a stealthy scout. It's decent at CQC.
Well, my Flaylock was fun. Guess I'll play around with my Breach MD. |

I was trying to use the DTAC earlier this week; I think I might have pulled a 1.5 KDR on my protosuit, and even that was thanks to my IASMG. Couldn't make it work.

Try pairing it with a sidearm (or secondary light weapon if commando) that does damage to armour - engage enemy with AR at range till shield is down, then switch to armour-eating weapon.
The next step is to use this tactic with improved positioning, so...
- if enemy is weaker than you: engage with AR then advanced aggressively to finish off with SMG
- if enemy is stronger than you: engage with AR then retreat into cover and do cheeky shots to lure them over until they're in SMG range where you'll have the advantage.
My main rifle is a CR, but I often have to use this tactic to beat shield-tankers.
So on my Assault I try to get 2-3 scrambler pistol shots in first then switch to CR.
Or.. on my Commando I can use TAC AR at range, then CR. |

Which is why killing a proto fit player with it is so entertaining. Make sure you equip nades as you need to dispose of their body or pick up a logi+them doublekill while they trumpet in rage.

i like my bolt pistol too, heck i use the basic more than my assault SMG, but that's because headshots with it or just bodyshots wreck scouts in general. Plus, it's nice to have range with your nova knife/heavy hmg/viziam scrambler fits.
But i dont use it as a straight up primary weapon.... i use it to finish people or kill them from afar.
At close range vs an ACR/ASCR/AR/ARR/BR it is disadvantaged in terms of DPS ... Obviously
