It's the damage and the ROF. Fix one and the other will be fine.
I agree. As such, I think the Tac rifle's damage should be brought back to what it was before the buff, or perhaps only a 5% increase rather than the 10. RoF could be decreased slightly as well. Overall, I think it needs, if not anything else, a temporary nerf to get people away from the gun to simply help with numbers. Regardless, we can all agree this is without a doubt a problem. |

It is my current understanding that racial weapon variants, as with the various AR's to be in DUST (i.e. blaster, projectile, laser, rail), relate to each other in the following way:
Damage (From Least to Greatest): Rail --> Laser --> Projectile --> Blaster
Range (From Least to Greatest): Blaster --> Projectile --> Laser --> Rail
CCP, if the relation between racial variants of a specific weapon class differ in DUST, I personally would like to know to help make sense of the current situation. Otherwise, if the relationships above are indeed supposed to be true in DUST as well, given equivalent models for each Racial AR, Rail rifles will end up with an effective range rivaling a sniper rifle which is simply ludicrous.
The TAC AR upsets the balance of everything else, and honestly, once the other racial AR's are released, I cannot foresee a logical reason for it to continue existing. Having each of the weapons line up in the manner thay do in the relationship above, and stay to true to that provides AR's for numerous different situations and play styles with each having a logical counter to the other.

Reading through the forums people were saying the recoil was sever and because of that it takes skill to use it. Am I missing something? Maybe the one I got didn't come with recoil.  If you justify it in your head enough you can see the "recoil" its just like looking at the matrix
Always good to see one of our EYE brothers around the DUST forums o7 |

Its deadly at medium range. Laser rifles out range it.
Its pretty bad up close unless you get a lucky hit in.
This statement is false, the TAR out-ranges the LR as is seen in the stats post-Uprising range stats here. |
