No they are suppose to 'breach' through entrances and engage in CQC. As is evident by their reduced range and smaller hip spread. A nice 2-2.5x multiplier would be nice against vehicles so I don't have to kill myself in Ambush constantly to switch from an AV class back to an AI class. Who is with me!

Get out of my game, CoD boy. The point of AV is that it isnt versatile. If u dnt like tanks, get ur own.

I disagree about it using the equipment slot. It should be a secondary . Because if it is an equipment then it will either be OP (then nerfed into infinity) or useless.

Perhaps I wasn't clear. By single shot, I mean one shot. No reload, just shoot once and throw away. This would give regular infantry a chance against LAV's and let them annoy tanks a little bit.

Personally, I'd rather not become obsolete just because the standard assault rifle can out-DPS my HMG and the breach assault rifle can take out tanks as fast as a forge gun. I already feel kind of useless when people run around tossing AV grenades like candy and I'm sitting there like a sucker with my assault forge gun as tanks blow up before I can get a shot off.

Don't nerf RPS any further. Please.

I am not saying that the breach AR should be able to destroy tanks in one shot, one magazine, or even your entire starting ammunition. Instead it would be made to drive away tanks.

It would just be an annoyance, It would take like 5 guys firing every bullet of every magazine into it to even lower a standard tank's shields to 50%

Forge guns would still be king.

you'll have several of these ARs able to gang up on tanks without the need to spec into anything different. Kind of like AV grenades already work.

You were clear, I understood it was a one shot only weapon. Though, damage wise you only said it would have medium damage. What is medium damage for AV weapons? A forge gun shot? A swarm shot? This will either be an under powered weapon (if they only make it able to take down an LAV, as it makes AV grenades redundant for this task) or it would be OP (if they decide to give it crazy damage; one shot, one tank)

Then they would be decimated by the other teams infantry. Have you used the breach weapons? They are bad, very, very bad. save the Scrambler pistol and the forge gun variant. They kill less efficiently then their militia variants. You would still be at a disadvantage to infantry with anti-infantry weapons.

Breach ARs are over-nerfed and need a buff.

This most definitely ISN'T the buff they should get though.

After further time playing with this weapon (and many advanced suits lost to militia AR') I have concluded that that a buff is necessary. I am not saying that the breach AR should be able to destroy tanks in one shot, one magazine, or even your entire starting ammunition. Instead it would be made to drive away tanks.

I imagine it being like shooting a prototype level heavy, who has shield mods and armor mods, with a first tier laser rifle.

It won't instantly kill them. Though it will be a nuisance and probably force them back into cover.
