 Look at where the Breach AR is on that chart. Then look at the boundless combat rifle. Then look at the Viziam ScR.
 
 It's just been balanced to be as good at assaulting as the six kin assault CR, and the damage is outweighed by it doing better damage to shields than armor.
 
 stop crying that a gun is killing you and either skill into that gun, or skill into a gun that will counter that gun

 Its a BREACH variant. Meaning hard-hitting slow-firing. Im currently loving lvl2 BAR with ZNs.
 
 ARs are the most all around balanced weapon, ive been using this combo before CR RR even existed and its a lot better now
 so if im 'abusing' it than so be it.

 That information is several months old. It does not take into account that the Rail Rifle has been nerfed/balanced several times since than. Using that information is a little hazy as too much as changed. Hypothetical:
 
 Weapon A is 120% (OP), Weapon B is 90% (slightly UP), and Weapon C is 110% (slightly OP). Obviously, more people use Weapon A then Weapon C, maybe even to the point that no one knows about Weapon C's possible balance issues. A balance change happens. Weapon A is reduced by 25% and Weapon C is unchanged. Which one will people migrate to and what might be slightly too powerful? It is the notion of Sleeper OP.
 
 Not saying that is what happened with the BAR but simply saying "Look at the numbers!" is meaningless when the numbers are old.

 Lol don't worry about it m8 the projection with the RR nerf is that people will flock to the cr which they have and it will get a proper nerfing then I would say the rifles will be close to balanced. I of course have no hard numbers, but It is pretty obvious which FW is overpopulated. Even if they do nerf it it isn't that good anyway I like the standard better.

 First let's eliminate hit fire accuracy and range, breach AR and AR have it the same.
 
 This leave us with DPS, CLIP, ammo reserves.
 
 The breach as 3 points of dps higher than the AR, this is around 0.005% extremely negligible.
 
 The way it applies dps means it negates strafing, and it forgives missing. I bet you if strafing was nerfed the AR would be come the better variant. That's because in games where you can a strafe like crazy weapons that can negate it with high damage per shot are the most effective. In games where there is no crazy starting high rof wins because you can quickly overwhelm them with damage, where slow r of would be easy to react to.
 
 The damage per clip is 400 hp higher, this should be reduced. Along with the ammo reserves.
 
 Overall the nerf to a breach would be fixing strafing and reduce the clip.

 bar max range(not effective) is 71m (55m effective)
 RR max range(not effective) is 101m(71m effective)
 
 see the difference now?
 
 the RR was op because its dps AND range, the effectiveness was not tied to JUST longer ranges it was effective in CQB too..
 
 where as the BAR is higher dps but MUCH shorter range and even shorter effective range.

 That is old data.
 
 I would expect a mass exodus of slayers from RR and into the BAR will certainly have skewed those numbers.
 
 I'm not crying, I've been using the BAR for some time now, but let's be honest in our anti-QQing.

 Yes, DPS doesn't mean anything, as things such as Clip deplete time(CR has lowest), damage a clip(Scr has highest, not counting OH or chsrge shots) alao factor into the usability/niche of the weapon.
 
 Now, compared to the Assault Variant, the breach has: better DPS(This alone breaks tradition, as Breach means lower DPS higher range.) longer range, tighter hipfire(this is where you're right...and it makes the case Breach is OP)
 
 With tight hipfire, the gun becomes less about spray and pray, and player skill keeping the reticule on target, also allowing the person to keep hipfiring at higher ranges(thus not slowing them down to 0.5M/s) and making their ALREADY HIGHER dps even higher in application, against everything except the mythical 'it moves too fast for you to track'

 Which is why the ScR isn't OP (and never was IMO) because its applied DPS is actually a good bit lower than the other Rifles. Same with the TacAR. That 650-700 DPS means a lot less if you can only realistically apply 1000 or so damage before having to wait a a few seconds afterwords to cool down or reload.
 
 And this is why the BrAR is OP. Its applied Damage is substantially higher than a regular AR. Its a lot easier to hit the target with this weapon because of the slower fire rate, titghter hip fire, and less recoil. While you might miss 15% of your rounds using an AR, you'll probably miss less than 10% of your BrAR.
 Its paper DPS is a little higher than the regular AR, but its real DPS is boosted pretty well because of this.
 
 It also carries more damage in each magazine. This reduces the chances of running dry in the middle of a fight considerably. And allows the user to more easily dispatch tankier enemies.
 The extra 250 damage in a BrARs mag is a serious advantage. It is equivalent to the Minassault and Amassault bonuses in strength.
 
 And because it has has more damage in the magazine, and longer firing times than the regular AR, it has a higher DPS over time than the regular AR as well. It gets to spend more time shooting, and less time reloading.
 
 But that isn't all! It also has a longer optimal range than the regular AR if all that wasn't enough. It has a 44m optimal, while the AR has a 40m optimal.
 
 It has more Range, paper DPS, DPM(Damage per Magazine), a tighter hipfire, and therefore more applied DPS as well.
 There are actually no drawbacks to using the BrAR over the regular AR. That is pretty much the definition of OP.
 
 Please, make my Opus pretty... |
