DUST Search - what is actually getting buffed on the Assault Rifle?

Currently, ALL (disclude the shotgun) Galentte weapons need huge buffs, and how things are now with the starter fits getting full racial weapons and pistols, the Gal starter fit is going to be heavily under ranged.

I also find it stupid how 7500 years in the future some rifles have shorter ranges than current-age weapons (even muskets).

The weapons we use on our clones are specialised weapons meant to take down the armor of these heavily augmented drop suit soldiers.

At least that what CCP said once upon a time. Now I'm not sure if these are civilian weapons or not, one description from CCP says yes, the other hints that mortals use the same weapons too.

Either I'm missing something or CCP doesn't even know the lore of their own weapons.

But I digress, I completely agree that all Gallente weapons outside of the shotgun need buffs, and even then, the shotgun hit detection could use some work.

CCP Can't seem to get it through their head that if a weapon can only operate in a specific range, it damn well better outperform any like weapons that get in it's range.

Then I go to that thread and there's nothing about the AR in it? I was hoping there'd be a dispersion buff on the AR because apparently the main problem of the weapon is some of the bullets aren't hitting the target even if you're aiming right.

Tac is going to get a tighter dispersion for hipfire and reduced kick ~~so that those comparing the ScR to AR saying it is OP will quiet down~~. I think there is a change coming for the Burst as well, but i can't recall anything at the moment. Nothing is changing for the native version.

Armor plates get a 10% resistance to the Assault Rifle, and you can stack the HP to alot. (GIF)

Definitely agreed, but wonder, if the AR is also a civilian weapon, wouldn't its heat kill them, I remember hearing that a Dropsuit protects a user from heat and kick among other things from weapons, so the AR, RR and SR cannot be civilian weapons, only civilian weapons that can be/ I know ofI know could be are the CR and the MK25 Gauss rifle.

Hmm it's been a while since I switched to the RR since it is a better cqc weapon, but every once in a while I fit in my duvolle to remind me again why the rr is better and so far I still use the rr. But to answer your question it is because it's hipfire and dispersion suck, than even with a proto gal a rr or cr has tighter dispersion. Also because the low damage per shot and that most people strafe most of your shots will miss so you lose a lot of your damage per clip quickly. supercalifragilisticexpialidocious
