I have been running around with a proto assault rail rifle and have noticed that when you use the sights you lose all control of where you are aiming when you start to fire. The gun jumps around and i have ended up missing my target for about 1/3 of my shots. This ends up meaning the difference between life and death for me.
I use a proto cal assault suit with the rail rifle and mag sec smg. so i have the passive bonus for it, so i dont think its the suit im using.
Now the assault and combat rifles both have the sharpshooter skills added to them. I know its because both of these are full auto or burst fire, but since the rail rilfe has an assault type that is full auto shouldn't the rail rifle have the option to have a sharp shooter skill as well.
Sharp shooter skills are ment to make the gun shoot in a straighter line then with out it, so with out this skill rail rifles are less effective the the assault or combat rifles.
Is it possible to add this to the game with a client side update, which we know wont happen? |

I don't think that a sharpshooter skill would be appropriate for this weapon. It already is deadly enough from range, as it is the longest ranged rifle, and adding the skill to it would make it far to strong in more close ranged engagements.
Now before you trolls go to posting ignorant and completely unnecessary comments, I understand the combat rifle could still use some tweaks to profile damage and maybe minor tweaking with straight damage. I believe that most of the variants for the plasma rifles are is a very good spot, though I would like to see the TAR could use a very slight recoil reduction.
The rail rifle needs more of a trade off then the very short spool up time and that is where the dispersion comes in.

If I remember correctly, the sharpshooter skill only reduces hip-fire spread. It wouldn't do anything to reduce how much the Rail Rifle bounces around (which is what you're talking about, yes?). Also, as a long range weapon, the last thing it needs is even better hip-fire accuracy than it already does, so it really shouldn't have a sharpshooter skill for it.
Keep in mind, this is all based on my being correct about sharpshooter only reducing spread. I haven't played in a while so I can't quite remember.  |

Sharpshooter reduces spread in general, weather its scoped or not.
Adding a sharpshooter skill to the rail rifles would greatly improve it performance all around, just like it did for the assault and combat rifles. Lets be honest, without the sharpshooter skills both the assault and combat rifles would never be as effective as they are now. So why is it that those weapons get skills that improve effectiveness and others don't? |
