question:

THE TAC RIFLE shoots every time you press / click fire right? there's not delay ..or if there is it's very short?..

Can you prove it? Maybe they are stacking complex damage mods...
Or getiing headshots and causing more damage.

The ROF on the GLU-5 is 789.5 RPM; that's higher than the GEK's 750 RPM!
Lowering ROF to between 120 and 240 rpm would solve the issue of modded controllers.

Just for frame of reference, that's 13 taps per second. This is quasi impossible without a turbo controller, even if you used two fingers you'd probably top out at 200 clicks per minute.

1.6 clicks per second?! 96 rpm?! It'll take 18.75 seconds to empty my clip?! Are you f'n serious?

Why are we non modders getting punished for being able to fire fast and be accurate? Also, I haven't ran into a Tac user with a modded controller -- it's obvious with the sound it produces.

Just remove the 10% damage buff on it.

The tac sniper rifle, maybe even the regular sniper rifle, fires faster than that.


You're just being ridiculous.

Ironically it is only the bad players who whine about this gun.


People have a better trigger finger then me. Therefore, they must be using a Modded controller lol.

100 RMP seriously. This is why the game is such a bad state because of cry babies like Cat Merc

CCP didn't care about your QQ during closed beta what thinks they are now. TAC has range on most guns. I know I feel it and it hurts, but when I can catch TAC user with my GEK or smg I rip them apart.

Once again the dust community wants stats nerfed because something kills them.

Put the rpm to 400 thats where the breach is sitting at and should be enough.

Why does it need to be lower than the auto version I agree it needs toning down but the general nothing is balanced till its worse than the AR is just silly.

So, just as an example, nearly every AR in Planetside 2 has a semi-auto function, and no restriction of fire rate.

I can click fast enough to pump out rounds like it's set to automatic, while maintaining greater accuracy.

Think you just need to work on your strafing, man.

Programmable mouse. Way more lol than a modded controller.

Report rates, macros and turbo features on a mouse put all modded controllers to shame.

Moreover a TAC AR has a recoil to it that gets harder to control the more you fire it as you near that top rate. Fact is i can fire a full auto AR in this game with rapid button presses and you would never note when i am off the trigger and it will look like im just holding the trigger the entire tip.


Protip: When firing rapid button presses dont fully release the trigger learn to slide it so it lifts just enough and never pull your finger off the trigger. It really isnt hard to get a rapid series of trigger responses.

Now you just need to STFU. Please don't go all sensi on me.

Prove right now that anyone is using a TAR. Just prove it, well I mean other than your heightened hearing skills LMFAO.

People team fire with tacs of course you're going to die running out into the open. As every DUST514 noob says "USE COVER"

Because you titled this thread "mod controllers are running rampant" Everything you say is invalid.

Name me a squad of mod controller users and i'll be sure to seek them out and play against them today.

Modded controllers aren't running rampant... but I get your intention to draw attention to a problem. There is a problem, ROF is too fast. Needs to be dropped down to 300ish.

As to the ideas to get rid of the scope or nerf damage... those are just STUPID. The whole point is to have a high dmg, high range AR. One that probably shouldn't be too good in CQC. The only way to "fix" the weapon, w/o breaking it INTENDED function, is to drop the ROF.
