The rapid reload skill is underused in my opinion. It is a cool perk to have around and encourage more people to get it.
Yes it is SP expensive , but it can save yourself many deaths and can prove decisive engagements.

Back when I skilled plasma cannons , it made my plasma cannon go from decent to BEAST MODE. I could get at least 2 plc shots ready before my enemy wold be in position to fight back.
By that time , His shields were down and I could always finish with the flaylock I had on my minmatar scout. I also had prof V and RR 5. These two skills go together really well.

When running heavy machine gun heavy , 70 % of my deaths were due to beig caught in the long reload. Skilling up RR made me avoid a lot of deaths.

When running assaults, ( especially with a ACR as weapon ) you often run out of amo against an enemy in a CQC gunfire.
Having the rapid reload skill will make u reload faster than you enemy , therefore finishing him of before he finishes you.

Luckily for me , I will respec soon and return with some weapons like the flaylock and mass driver having prof 5 RR 5.
Here is a fit that will be really fun to run.

TL;DR
Rapid Reload is a cool skill to have to save your a*ss and look at how fast your weapon reloads because you are just that pro.

In some situations, it makes a huge difference (lagging min assaults, even with speed nerf can be hard to hit), or if sustaining an assault on a point, time does matter, considering the current TTK CPM2 Candidate Intent to run is found here: Intent Allow me to help improve Dust

Anyways, I have like all of my weapons with prof/rr/ammo/sharpshooter at 2+. It is somewhat helpful. I do agree that it's not used too much but I feel it's because at points, you don't need it. Just attack tactically and plan ahead. CEO of 48th Special Operations Force Twitter-@48SOF

And even then... Yes, I have commando 5 and rapid reload 5. Also, have all my main weapons at at least level 3. *Scouts United* Gk.0s & Quafes all day.
ddd567 ddd We Got Explosives 0	Posted - 2015.07.02 18:18:00 - [10] - Quote It really depends on the weapon more than anything. Every weapon can benefit from getting it to level 3 or 4 without spending too much sp. Lvl is a significant SP sink however and it had better be a weapon you really use, and tend to spend your full clip a lot imo. Plasma cannon is an obvious weapon, it's single shot with a pretty hefty reload time normally. Mass drivers are another weapon you will often be unloading your full clip and really want to reload fast. On other hand there are weapons where your unlikely to spend a full clip killing some one, or your not in a life or death situation like snipers. Sure some points into RR is good, but their better served maxing out the clip size skill first.

TL;DR Rapid Reload is a cool skill to have to save your a*ss and look at how fast your weapon reloads because you are just that pro. Its underused because its not very valuable compared to the SP to unlock it. Same as with that last 3% damage boost from proficiency and all optimization skills (oh boy the first 2 levels in combat rifle opt. dont give me any extra pg, Im sold! Oh wait no.) I get like 2 levels into the thing if I use the gun alot (would consider more for the HMG since its such a long reload and the effect is more pronounced). I really think skills like this shouldnt have a multiplier, they just arent worth it past the third level, and I could be doing something fun with those points like unlocking equipment or dropsuits.

The Attorney General 3	Posted - 2015.07.03 00:10:00 - [15] - Quote Really depends on the weapon. McBob is right that heavies really benefit from the skill. HMG and Forge reloads are pretty rough. PLC users who don't have rapid reload skilled are doing themselves a serious disservice, although you are doing my wallet an even bigger one by pointing it out to them :) Lastly, tankers, these skills matter to you as well. Many a tanker has fallen victim to my rapid reload 4 XT missile turret. Blaster turrets benefit just as much, with rails lagging behind in the benefits they receive. RR 4 for missiles is almost essential, especially since a plated Maddy will almost always need a reload and a half dump. Every second wasted is more armor you have to shoot through. Mr. Hybrid Vayu.

With PLC I think reload is more important than proficiency

If you do the whole coward AV thing, reload matters for more WP, but you aren't killing anything. If you do proper AV, then the only thing that counts with a PLC is the alpha, in which case prof is more valuable if you are confident in your aiming. Unless you mean using it against infantry, in which case, I have no clue. Mr. Hybrid Vayu.
