So now, the ARs are great on Gallente assaults, but they still underperform for everybody else except the GalAss.
Working as intended? I don't get it.
The only Assault Rifle that was underperforming was the Vanilla Assault Rifle; the RoF increase to Breach Assault Rifles was not needed.
Also, you need to use weapons that compliment your suit for best results. If you are not skilled into Gallente Assault then don't run with the Assault Rifle. |

They are now effective on galassaults. The same way scramblers where very effective on Amarr because of heat, the same way you have better control with rail rifles on caldari, and the same way you can spam with minmatar.
It encourages racial fits.
The Breach Assault Rifle should not have received the RoF bonus. |

Well, what about logis, scouts, commandos? Should they just use shot guns, mass drivers and side arms? More generally, I belive every weapon should be a valid choice on any suit, not matter of its race. Freedom of choice, this is the core of Dust to me.
You can use whatever weapon you want; that is your freedom of choice. Understand though that certain suits get bonuses for particular weapons. |

From what I've seen (not talking about in-game) this isn't entirely correct. The AR family sees (saw) the least use out of the entire rifle line-up with the Burst and Tactical being the most under-used rifles in the game. Burst/Tac numbers were so low that they barely even registered on the chart.
I can understand the usage of the Tactical and Burst Assault Rifles being low; they are great weapons at range but if someone gets to close to you those guns are very inconvenient, especially the Tactical.
The Breach Assault Rifle though I feel might become too OP if too many people start to develop decent gun game. I guess time will tell on this one though.

I can kill a GalAssault, but I am a GalAss as well so that might have something to do with it. |
