Why are they considered weak?
Granted they do have a low damage compared to the other rifles but still, I was able to do some damage on my first go with them in the Open Beta.
I do have Weaponry Lvl 4 though...
But I did not add any weapon enhancements to my dropsuit.
So yeah....
Why are they considered so weak or underpowered? |

I tried one out and it just didn't get the kill as fast as my previous weapon which is the Gek. I thought it would be strong too, but I guess not unless if with enchantments, it'll be way better? IDK I haven't really messed with it like that. my duvolle is way too satisfying atm. |

Personally, I do better with Burst for some reason. Although the GEK does everything better stat-wise, I kill people more easily with my Standard Burst. And Heavy's are easy to deal with now. |

Burst rifles aren't weak the damage is not that much lower than the non burst variant but makes up for that in faster ROF. The issue with the burst is it shoots 7 rounds so if you miss 4 of those 7 you're screwed not to mention the high ROF means you can burn through ammo very fast. Since Dust is a tracking shooter the burst AR would benefit more if they are a 3 to 4 round burst weapon. Also they should be used at mid range and have a SMG to complement it in the CQC situations. |

Didn't they reduce the Burst to only 3 rounds? I figured this was the reason no one has touched them in a while. |

I'd prefer them with 3-4 shots instead of the current settings. I'll agree that you'll run out quickly...because of that I'm extra glad I packed a nanohive in that fit. Although I was deciding on using a SMG, I'm sort of a SMG-lover(I actually have one fitting that only carries a SMG), but I decided the precise shots of a pistol would be better. This fit is geared towards defense though, rather than offensive flexibility.
The way I use it is to HS enemies, or tick their HP down if I can't get a good shot while they're running. O.o I figured that all of the other rifle types weren't really geared towards defense. Reasons being:
Assault- Too flexible
Breach- The most offensive of them
Tactical- It's one shot per squeeze isn't designed for the thick of battle. |

Nope I just used one it's still 7 rounds. I think it'll go to 3 next build. 7 is ridiculous and greatly punishes you for missing. |

Regular AR is probably best for defense. The full auto slower ROF means you don't burn through ammo as quick. Also you can burst it on your own. |

They are pretty crappy except for the Allotek. They work very well when you are in a situation where both teams are holding a line and take potshots at each other. The damage you can do with a burst to the head is amazing. That being said they're not as good as a regular AR if you're going to be running around with enemies in every direction.
As a side note the 'Gorewreck' is bugged as it's sight it missing the little dot in the middle so you really have nothing to aim with except for watching where your rounds go. Made it tougher to use but I still find it effective in some situations. Been like that 2 builds now hope CCP gets on that at some point. |
