DarthPlagueis TheWise 237	Posted - 2014.11.02 13:30:00 - [1] - Quote I haven't had much chance to try out the new AR variants this month. I've ran a few matches with the breach and it seems okay now. However I'm trying to build a serious Scout fit for future PC matches and somehow I doubt the changes put it on the level of other rifles. Bolas deploys tank in strategic location

Yeah clip size for the tac ar is the only down side right now. I put on a breach and yes it feels good. I am still staying away from assault variant it gets me killed because it is meant for gun battles up close. There's other weapons that do better.

So you guys REALLY think they can hold their own in PC now? Theoretically they should do about as well as the CR now, especially against Minmatar and Caldari suits. Just play around in pub matches and see how you do. It's the best way to know if it's for you. Put your flags up in the sky. And wave them side to side. Show the world where you're from. Show the world we are one.

Bro, I've been using the AR for over a year now. I'm talking about it being viable in the metagame because I haven't done PC in a couple months. Though I will admit the variants were drastically UP for so long I never touched them more than once or twice until now. The numbers are in its favor, that's for sure. Especially with that 10% nerf to projectile damage VS shields. Bolas deploys tank in strategic location

There is really no comparison now, and the BrAR dominates it within its range, IMO.

There's other weapons that do better. but TACs and rapid fire is back in a pretty big way again though especially with the hip fire bonus of the gallente assault. its mainly close to mid range but i know several guys have got their old controllers out again Never argue with an idiot. they bring you down to their level and beat you through experience proud C-II bpo owner

Auris Lionesse Kang Lo Directorate Gallente Federation 1070	Posted - 2014.11.02 18:41:00 - [11] - Quote burst with 2 damage mods out dps's a combat rifle according to protofits iirc. Don't vote for iron wolf saber. Vote for someone who will help the community i.e. anyone else.
TooMany Names AlreadyTaken Going for the gold 243	Posted - 2014.11.02 18:45:00 - [12] - Quote Breach AR is better than regular AR, even at close range... Don't say it isn't! it's the only thing that's been killing me lately! That moment when you mow down a proto Caldari assault suit with a militia laser rifle. Words can't describe it.

hfderrtgvcd 1057	Posted - 2014.11.02 19:55:00 - [14] - Quote the breach ar is the best weapon in the game. You can't fight in here! This is the war room.
