Grav - you know that isn't true
The CR is arguably the most powerful rifle in the game. After the BrAR gets fixed it will be hands down the most powerful rifle in the game. Exaggerating the case will just get the BrAR NOT fixed. |

BrAR has 0 kick and perfect hit detection, is full auto, and fires forever.
And less than 100 less DPS than the CR fired at max RoF, which is pretty hard to do without a modded controller.

Not only is it full auto, you can ALSO over tap that BAR to increase it's fire rate. This is a good thing, however the BAR being about 4% too powerful results in TacAR and AR being negated.

Funniest thing is that everyone told Rattati that this 14% increased damage was a bit too much when he first talked about it. But he said it'll just be at the same lvl as the normal AR. Lmao.

Problem is I imagine Rattatai didn't account for the god awful hit detection in this game. In reality you lose a lot of DPS everytime the server has to recognize one of your bits of damage. Although dps wise the BAR is on par with the AR, the fact that less shots have to be counted to achieve said amount of damage = less skull freakery from the game engine. |

Not nerf all above, just a slight back-adjustment would suffice imho. I don't run stats, I run feel, that BAR feels 4-8% too powerful in damage.

It's not going to get balanced its gonna get nerfed into the ground like the AR and TACAR did.
AR users are a dieing breed when they were nerfed into the ground the first time is when a HUGE chunk of CB vets bailed.
Without AR's wtf is the point of an assault suit? Boringgg
-ASSAULT AR user since closed beta. The other classes are boring to me. Go ahead and nerf us to hell again we'll just quit for another year until you bring the assaults back again.

You know that the shield and armour damage rates are ONLY placehokders and are actually completly different than what occurs right?

i constantly use the breach AR. I can assure you there is no problem with it. sure it destroys people. BUT ONLY WITHN 40M. 50m has decent damage and 60m is next to nothing. please don't change its stats.
if people thought the breach AR is bad then why can they react to being attacked by it?. I see assault combat rifles everywhere and they kill my 198 shield and 457 armour or even my proto gall asssult with 198/587. the assault combat's ROF coupled with its high/decent damage per shot can quickly out dps the breach ar. lets not forget the +10/-10 for the ar vs shields and armour. compared to I belive its. -5/+10 for the combat rifle (could be wrong might be -10/+10 with the RR)
and lets not get started on the scram rifle. (looking at you charged shot) the charged shot on any scram rifle is more than capable of dropping an opposing ammarr assault/gall assault straight to half armour and can follow up with rapid shots to finish the job. damage profile I belive is +10/-20 (could be wrong also) don't use laser weapons often enough.
lets not forget the optimal ranges either. ar has best damage from 0-40. the combat rifle is best at 20-60. scr rifle at 40-80(really should be 60 or 70. the shot isn't even rendered at 80m its dissipitated) and the rr at 60-100. then their damages begin to each falloff. AR has the worst damage falloff and is really only effective at 50m. can kill past 60m but requires large amount of rounds to pull off being close enough not even to bother. the combat rifle has some really good damage falloff. able to deal damage effectively up to 70m without to much damage loss. scr rifle dosnt lose any damage. just disappears at 80m. RR really dosnt need it given its range. still kills at 110-120.
so if the breach ar was so bad or the AR in general was so good and ''OP'' then why is the majority of rifles used still combats (slowly becoming assault combats) and scram rifles? maybe their not used to the AR being so effective and useful in its own range?. or perhaps juyst hate to die in a shooter. or as I like to reference dust as a futuristic war simulator. :P
still. leave the breach ar alone. cant us gallente have a balanced weapon/varients left as is.

Then, make the BrAR do 95% of the old AR DPS.

Fixed. You are a cocky and ill taught clone to assume such things of my character.
I'll have you know that my favorite weapon in the rifle category is the Assault Scrambler Rifle followed by the Combat Rifle which is tied with the Burst AR as my second favorite Rifle.

The ONLY way CCP will nerf the Breach AR is if we all start abusing it.
I just trained lvl 4 AR today and all I can say is with zero proficiency the adv bar seems to drop shields just as fast as my proficiency 4 Viziam ScR and then the BAR destroys armor in ways my Viziam could only dream. All without the risk of overheating.
I fully interned to take the bar to proto and abuse the hell out of it until CCP smashes it into the ground. The more of us that use the bar, the faster it will get nerfed.

Handy little tip...
How to use the Breach AR 101:
Don't use it as a fully auto hold and fire weapon. Spam the **** out of the trigger.
End of lesson.

You're welcome. I already know this. In fact, it was a week before I ever got wind of the BrAR buff that I picked it up since 1.7, hearing from these forums that it did greater DPS when triggered semi-automatically. However, it doesn't mean that full auto is useless.

This.
Made 2 fits today:
Assault Ak.0 Creo BAR (prof 4, sharpshooter 4)
Assault Ak.0 Viziam Scr (prof 4)
2 damage mod's, 2 identical suits primarly used to counter shield users.
The BAR:
- Strips shields fast - Strips armor faster than the viziam - Doesn't overheat - More max ammo than the Viam - Easier to fit - No kick
The Viziam:
- Strips shields faster than the BAR - Gets laughed at by armor - Overheats - Tougher to fit - Relatively low ammo - More kick means less accurate over time
I was more succesfull with the BAR than with the Viziam even at range. I hate to say it but right now the BAR is OP due to the combination of:
- Range - Damage - Not having recoil
One of those has to be nerfed. However the Gallente need a weapon that has range, just like my Cal got a CQC ARR now. Let's figure it out.. |

I say it needs more kick and recoil to make it less accurate.

+1 i agree, Everything has a counter people just dont want to think about it. If a gal assault uses a breach AR bring out an assault CR on an armor based suit, if he uses a cal scout bring out a SR, its not that hard but people will keep spamming the forums with : "nerf RR its OP" Or "nerf hmgs they're op". People playing this game only play it to show who sucks, not who has the most fun... they're just here to say "GG SCRUB" while they camp a rooftop with a full squad of f a g s protoed up to the teeths but when they play solo they dont send you "GG", they go cry to the forums and threat everything that they dont wanna use or that thay can't use and say its "OP".
It will stay like that until this game dies and that those people that were sending "GG" realizes that they waisted their time. then they will find out who is the "Scrub".

In reality you lose a lot of DPS everytime the server has to recognize one of your bits of damage.

This says it all.
It's a known issue (the worst IMO) but for reasons (money?) CCP isn't willing to change these servers.

I agree, things look fine the way they are. I personally would like a better performance from the burst and tac AR but I have to use them more and more importantly, know how to use them better. The BAR is a CQC weapon with a lower rate of fire and at the state of the game its natural that its well used for that reason and that-¦s not a bad thing. But there are other like the AR and so. I remember a time of all the complaints of the combat rifle and it-¦s still well used and good. Not many try the ARR. And you have the Scambler. These are the four main weapons, and we cannot continue changing one for the other, every time people use one more than another...

The QQ is hard on this one. Let me give you a free tip. Ask your buddy Benjamin Ciscko how to use the Proto Boundless CR. I have seen him tear Creo Breach users in his Minmatar Assault with such grace and skill that puts your post to shame. Ask him how to do the circle dance and how to aim while you-¦re at it and you will find that your (LMFAO) UP Boundless CR kills Creo Breach users pretty easily.
The Breach AR is fine. AR needs a buff.

Those of you crying about the AR family not having Charge times or overheating are stupid.
Assault rifles are not ment to have those debuffs so why would they add them now?
If you dont like charge times QUIT USING THE DAMN RR.
If you dont like overheating QUIT USING THE DAMN SCRAMBLER RIFLE.
But dont ***** about the AR not having that crap. RR and SR came what a year year and a half after? They also have perks that make them BETTER than the AR in certain situations.
Most of you probably never even used the AR's before until now, CCP nerfed these weapons SO bad they werent even a viable weapon for MONTHS.
Ask any Vet how much more fun this Game was when Assault suits with there AR'S determined if the Frontlines in battles moved forward or got pushed back. AND YES AR's LOOKED OVERPOWERED BECAUSE PEOPLE LIKE ME HAD EVERY SKILL FOR THEM MAXED OUT WITH A DAMAGE MOD OR 2 FOR THE QUICKER KILL. AND It was the ONLY weapon we used.
Anytime the AR is balanced its going to be called OP Because Vets like me know how to use them and will DESTROY you. GET USED TO IT OR GO PLAY COD.

What STABBEY said is true too, people who played the game for a long long time (like me and many others) and who didn't use any respec might have the AR maxed out as it was the only weapon available back in the days. Thats also explains why the BAR is so powerful, the +14% damage increase coupled with the majority of players having prof 4-5 on it makes it suddently a VERY powerful weapon.
I agree it used to suck and now it's finally usefull. But it's a bit too much, it doesn't need a big nerf, just a 5% damage decrease to start.
And what I said before is also a point that we can't forget: servers are terrible and doesn't register all the shots from an AR wheras the BAR has a much slower ROF so every single bullets are registered, and they hit harder! This too explains why it's a bit OP ATM.
Change servers (this would fix many more issues) or decrease its damages a little.

Nope, specially when I'm using my rail on shields. I know it should take a while to melt the shields but it feels like an eternity sometimes.

I'm gonna take a wild guess the majority of those are basic assault rifles but just a wild guess. It could definitely represent people jumping into the fotm boat, but that does not prove wether or not a weapon is OP or not.

Edit: Oops! Looks like Thang is having technical difficulties today. Anyhow, the top sellers are currently Std Breach and Adv Breach with combined sales totaling just shy of 30% of all Light Weapon sales. |

which may or may not display properly when clicked. Interesting to note that the AR in general has been the most purchased gun (or tied with the RR for most purchased gun) since May. Assuming the data is accurate:
1: Before the BrAR buff ARs were heavily purchased. 2: After buff the average purchase rate went up 10-15%pÇÇabout.
But how do you interpret that data. Does it mean more people are buying the AR? Probably. Does that mean that they are killing with it better? Not at all. We would need CCP to release the average k/D at various ranges to know that. One could interpret it as more people switching to AR. But one could ALSO interpret it that more people are DIEING while using ARs and therefore having to purchase more of the gun. (After all, if your gun is super good you die less and therefore buy replacements less.)
More context is needed. |

So there, Gav! :) Eh, CR can't scratch shield. BrAR annihilates armor. Its the same reason the ScR isn't that OP....its worse for shield suits than the CR is on armor, but really stops working against super tanked heavies. Though armor does seem to register hits better than shields in general... ScR does 50 dmg per regular shot towards armor, and can be spammed. Only thing keeping it balanced is the heat management and the kick. |

It doesn't outrange the boundless. The boundless has 14m more range. And kick. The BrAR is kind of like a laser beam-there is no issues with its handling, esp. with sharpshooter 5.
I have a character with every skill on the AR maxed, and was running the Creo Beach earlier on a min Logi, and HOLY **** THE THING IS OP.
It feels like a Rail Rifle with 10x better hit detection, no kick, more damage, no charge, and much, MUCH better hip fire.
I have no idea why people are using any other weapon ATM, TBH.

Btw, comparing a medium-long range weapon like the RR with a short-medium range weapon like the Breach AR is just lulz. Would be fun, just for kicks, to see which is the optimal/effective range of a Creo Breach AR and the optimal/effective range of a Kalakiota RR.

I played around with the Breach AR some last night and the thing is beast. It just straight up chunks people.
Here's a match using only the advanced version. Make of it what you will. The kill around 9:20 shows how stupid accurate the gun is for how much damage it does.

Adieu! Your butthurt is so strong that the blood leaking from your anus is staining my laptop screen.
I will be using it, considering it does destroy everything at under 70 meters.
Remember, range is just a factor affecting damage.
And yes, I do shield tank because Im not a scrub.

Spent the last several days playing in cal faction warfare trying to use a rail rifle. It feels very unpleasant to use, especially when playing against all the flavor of the month breach ar & unscannable gallente apex scouts.
Took a small break the other day after my FW boosters ran out and played on an alt with a breach ar. This gun is so ****ing easy to use it's not funny. I don't understand why the rail rifle has to feel horrible to use because 'hurr it has so much range' to the point of practically being designed so that one cannot play objectives with it, while weapons like the breach AR get to do boatloads of damage, with no kick and just enough dispersion to feel incredibly good.

I really don't see a problem with the gun.
I don't really use it myself, and facing it is really not an issue. Neither in pubs nor fw.
As for the effectiveness of the CR, I think this is because it's the only weapon of its kind where its RoF makes its low damage viable.
Basically, the regular AR, Burst AR, and Assault Scrambler Rifles simply shoot too slow (sure a damage increase can be considered, but the CR proves that dps CAN trump alpha weapons.... IF the dps is high enough).
The BreachAR is working as intended. If we take the regular AR up to 1000 RPM, and the burst AR up to 1200 RPM, they MAY serve as viable anti-shield counterparts to the CR.
The Breach AR isn't broken, it's pretty much what a Gallente breach weapon SHOULD be.

The Rail Rifle is classified as a "Breach" weapon. (I know it's weird.)
The whole world understands 'breach' weapons to be cqc weapons meant to penetrate (breach) heavily fortified infantry positions.
But for some reason CCP reinvented the definition to mean 'slow firing and hard hitting weapon'. Don't ask.
Proof
The Breach AR was meant to be the Gallente's attempt at making a Rail Rifle.
That's why the comparison was made.

Oh quit your whining! The CR and rr are long overdue for nerfing because they're op. Finally a gallente weapon has the chance* to put you down and your crying that your one gun("boundless CR") doesnt work in every scenario like it did before! They nerfed the snot out of the breach already and does just about the same as the AR. You're ironic man. Get good. |

The breach assault rifle is not over power. Its great for people about 50 meters away but it cant do **** when people pop out of no where. 1 it has near half the amount of ammo on the clip than a standard assault rifle and 2 I find It useful only on heavys from a distance |

You imagined right i constantly use the breach AR. I can assure you there is no problem with it. sure it destroys people. BUT ONLY WITHN 40M. 50m has decent damage and 60m is next to nothing. please don't change its stats. if people thought the breach AR is bad then why can they react to being attacked by it?. I see assault combat rifles everywhere and they kill my 198 shield and 457 armour or even my proto gall asssult with 198/587. the assault combat's ROF coupled with its high/decent damage per shot can quickly out dps the breach ar. lets not forget the +10/-10 for the ar vs shields and armour. compared to I belive its. -5/+10 for the combat rifle (could be wrong might be -10/+10 with the RR) and lets not get started on the scram rifle. (looking at you charged shot) the charged shot on any scram rifle is more than capable of dropping an opposing ammarr assault/gall assault straight to half armour and can follow up with rapid shots to finish the job. damage profile I belive is +10/-20 (could be wrong also) don't use laser weapons often enough. lets not forget the optimal ranges either. ar has best damage from 0-40. the combat rifle is best at 20-60. scr rifle at 40-80(really should be 60 or 70. the shot isn't even rendered at 80m its dissipitated) and the rr at 60-100. then their damages begin to each falloff. AR has the worst damage falloff and is really only effective at 50m. can kill past 60m but requires large amount of rounds to pull off being close enough not even to bother. the combat rifle has some really good damage falloff. able to deal damage effectively up to 70m without to much damage loss. scr rifle dosnt lose any damage. just disappears at 80m. RR really dosnt need it given its range. still kills at 110-120. so if the breach ar was so bad or the AR in general was so good and ''OP'' then why is the majority of rifles used still combats (slowly becoming assault combats) and scram rifles? maybe their not used to the AR being so effective and useful in its own range?. or perhaps juyst hate to die in a shooter. or as I like to reference dust as a futuristic war simulator. :P still. leave the breach ar alone. cant us gallente have a balanced weapon/varients left as is.
How often do you use the scrambler rifle? You do know that it is incredibly difficult to use effectively compared to your Bar or any other full auto weapon, right?
