I guess it's not as bad as when they somehow released fully auto TARs back when there was a 'basic' version.

Still RoF is the issue and anyone who doesn't agree either uses it or pubstomps with friends who use it. It should be less than the breach with significantly more damage.

99% of my deaths since Uprising have been to a Tactical AR of some variety or another. I vote they be made the Sci-Fi version of a bolt action rifle.

I've highlighted the perfect solution. Give it an animation and everything, make it a bolt-action DMR. Maybe give it nearly the same damage as a Breach AR of the same tier, laser accurate, but with something like a 4 second delay between shots where you are manually operating the bolt to discharge the old "casing" (since they aren't truly projectile weapons, I doubt they really have casings) and loading the next round into the chamber. Voila, Tac AR that isn't broken.

1 bullet every 4 seconds with only breach level damage? Now that's the other extreme, you would completely break the TAR by doing that. And after them being almost completely useless last build, I'd hate for them to be broken again.

A scout wouldn't even loose half of it's shields, and it's shields would be fully restored before you got your next shot off at that damage. Just to clarify.

Take note, I said "something like a 4 second delay", it was a suggestion. I trust you understand what I mean despite my bad choice in numbers. I really think it needs to be the DMR of Dust, not a Sniper Rifle, but an Assault Rifle that acts more like a Sniper Rifle than an Assault Rifle.
