What is to be done about the Tactical AR, and AR's in general? with the new 10% passive increase in damage, they are absolutely broken. Assault rifles were good enough before the blanket buff. the 10% should be taken off the AR's, but kept for every other weapon. Furthermore, the tactical AR needs to be dropped further, as it was already quite powerful before the 10%.

As it stands, now everyone is dying way too fast. even heavies are being dropped quite fast by AR's. FYI, AR is my primary weapon, so trust me, this isn't a bias "waah I got killed by such-and-such". This is me telling you, after having played with the CreoDron Breach AR back when it was king, the Tac is the new CreoDron. A clearly superior weapon that outshines all others.

Like he said, everyone just skilled weaponry to 5 before, so ARs are currently just as strong as they were before in Chromosome. They could use a very small nerf, but not too small... the tactical on the other hand Shocked

The AR became the most dominant weapon. And now... all this does it make the HMG more competitive in Damage (but it's range is still trash), and the AR just got more powerful. The AR is just a tad too powerful, but the Tactical is absolutely broken. 78~ damage with no proficiency. that is insane. that makes the chromosome viziam look like a super soaker.
