The reason you're dead before you can fire a shot is network lag. If they fire at you before you start to fire, they've already been hitting you for 1-2 seconds. You're dead. Doesn't matter what the weapon is.
But yes, the ARR is a nice rifle. If only the scrubs using it on suits other than CalAss knew how much better it is on a CalAss... Oh, I shouldn't have said that.... :) |

Was the kick bonus to much an advantage?
Your kidding right ? It's not very noticeable .
It's better on the ARR. On the RR, just six shots and it's bouncing around all over the place. By then, you're lucky to have made a dent on the armour of some suits. |

Hey CCP, could we have some Kills per Death numbers and other data on the ARR's performance? No? You don't talk to us anymore? Alright. because armor is slooooow. rail rifles help you out by letting you not have to run around as much. if you have a RR. you can deal damage to almost anyone you see. other rifles have to move in closer to deal damage, which is a problem when youre so slow. its mostly about the utility of a long range rifle vs a short range rifle. range is better.
The problem with the RR is the charge time. It seems to take forever, and .5s is sort of forever in battle. You do get used to it though, and having to start charging it before you go around the corner, so you're already firing by the time you sight the enemy.
The reason the ARR is better than the RR, particularly in CQC, is that the charge time is negligible. The MAGSEC is even better.
Not hard to guess what my favourite light/side combination is... :) |

MLT RRs are just the same as basic RRs and is only 10% less damage than its proto variant. There are officer variants that are much better, but if you're used to just using the MLT RR to the best of its ability, it's not that much less effective than the proto RRs. |

Ppl r usein miltia rail rifles to take down squads. WAY TO OP!!! question: have you maxed your weapons, shield and armor upgrades. i fight enemies in militia, starter and apex suit and i just kill them easy. maybe you run into those vets that use militia gear for the lols.
Yes, me too. :)
I love MLT fits. I do have some State Peacekeeper suits (APEX by any other name) that are not that good without some modification but I put MLT BPO improvements on them and they're fine.
I particularly love the Frontline-CA and Medic-CA fits. Both of them use the MLT ARR and the Medic uses the MLT MAGSEC.
The Bolt Pistol is useless to me - too much charge time and the fire rate is too slow, far slower than it's supposed to be, probably due to the network lag... |

Only if the bolt pistol went back to how it started. It was perfect... Nice RoF, okay damage, 6 rounds. Why did it change?
My guess it was FOTM and CCP nerfs anything that's FOTM. |
