Awesome job on the Gallente ARs.
They are now amongst viable options on the Dust battlefield.
The Tactical is in a good spot. Not the OP monster it was in 1.0, but still lethal in the right hands. (Which is good for me, because I needed a good dmr, and I hate the RR's behavior, and I hate the scrambler's reflex sight.) The TAR is back, and I am happy.
The Burst also is now a viable option. Very effective. Although the Allotek never stopped being a viable gun, time was not so kind to the GK-13. The GK-13 rate of fire and damage was balanced for the Chromosome era, and every update since then only harmed it. I'm happy to see this weapon as a competitor once more, as I have used it to great effect against a variety of opponents.
The Automatic is in good shape. The oh so slight rate-of-fire buff (50 RPM) is a delicate touch that makes a tasteful difference. It's not an over-the-top buff, but it's perfect for this general purpose weapon. I like it. Any faster, and you would simply have made an Assault CR with better range. But no, you did it just right. I am pleased.
I don't know who is handling the rebalances, but I owe that person a kiss on the ass. I actually enjoy playing this game now; instead of being relegated to just a few choice guns I can finally mix up my fits a bit more.
The rapid fire rebalances are perfect for settling these ages-long balancing disputes. Props to everyone involved.
SUGGESTION:
Can we just go ahead and rename the Assault Rifles to Plasma Rifles already? |

Scr and tar need to switch sights...
This is true.
The scrambler has (or should have) superior range, and as such, should have the better sight.
I'd love to have the SMG sight on the Magsec, or on the Assault Combat rifle for example.
But sight customization is something we have been begging for for years, and doesn't seem we're going to get anytime soon due to balancing issues.
Back in closed beta, ALL the Gallente Assault Rifles had the same scope - a reduced zoom sniper rifle scope. With ZERO kick, ZERO recoil. (although a little kick was added later)
The Automatic rifle was pretty much, hands down, the best one of all the variants because of this.
The TAR was merely a pinch better at picking off snipers.
The scope was removed from the Automatic just before Chromosome build, and it's been like that ever since.
I WANT customized scopes, but I don't know how CCP is going to manage FotM with it. |
