I don't get why they are so underpowered to the point that people don't see them worth using.
From what I see, the breach variant is a type that fires much slower than the standard version, but only does slightly more damage, or adds damage to the gun in a way that is more skilled to use. These versions seem to be geared towards marksmen who go for headshots instead of body shots, as they are more accurate and have less recoil and spread.
For instance, the Breach AR has about half the rate of fire of the normal one, but only does slightly more damage. In comparison to the tactical it seems to have the advantage of automatic fire, but not much else.
The breach mass driver has a slower rate of fire as well but does quite a bit more damage...except that you have to get body shots in order to actually get this bonus of damage. In other words it's a one hit kill weapon if you aim perfectly from the right distance to nail them.
To me when I see the word "breach" I immediately think of an army breaking through a highly defended area into a fortress. This is how these guns should work, like a bunch of soldiers with a battering ram. Sure you can't get a lot of hits out of the thing, but each hit should hurt a lot.
The one breach variant that I see working is the charge sniper rifle. Not actually called a breach weapon, but it acts a lot like it. You have to time your shot right and hit the mark or else you have to wait and line up the shot again. Obviously not all breach weapons should have a charge like this, but some way to slow down the rate of fire without decreasing the dps to levels that don't make sense.
Thanks, I hope this feedback helps. |

Breach weapons are designed for use against vehicles or installations for the most part, not other players. |

This actually makes a ton of sense.
Well, I can see it for the mass driver at least.
Except that ARs, Shotguns, Pistols, SMGs, etc wouldn't really do much more damage. I'm hoping they have some sort of breach mode where you have barricades you have to destroy to get to the main base. |

Yeah, the Breach AND the Tactical ARs have been hurt a good bit.
ADS with the Breach is absolutely ridiculous.
You get the kicking animation for the standard AR, and it can really throw you off.
The Tactical either needs a damage boost to match the amount of kick it has been given, OR have a kick reduction. |
