Again, we should wait for the scrambler rifles to be released before crying for a nerf on the TAR. I think a lot of TAR users were just skilled players clammoring for a viable percision, skill weapon. The Scrambler Rifle also fills that need. Though, id be very OK with reduced damage for increased headshot. Give me a scrambler pistol with 24 clip size and better range? Yeah...that would get the nerf cries out instantly. |

There is a fine line here, because you dont want to nerf the gun in CQ to the point of it being unusable. I think at range right now it is good as is. CQ its a bit OP but it shouldnt be the case where "CQ you lose to any other AR"
If you're going to nerf it CQ, there needs to be a tradeoff or it will quickly go back to being used by nobody ever. Increased headshot damage would be acceptable.
In fact, I think the best solution is a pretty heafty damage decrease and a prett heafty headshot bonus increase. Decrease damage by like 30% and double the headshot bonus.
Also, is there anywhere that shows the actual ranges on guns? Cause im pretty sure the non TAC duvualle has pretty beastly range compared to the other ARs... |

I think when it comes to the TAR CQ you have to compare it to the scrambler pistol. Because at that range, it pretty much functions similarly.
(pre 10% bonus stats)
Scrambler Pistol: Damage 72, ROF: 400.0 RPM
Breach SP: Damage: 115.2, ROF: 133.3
GLU: Damge 68.4 ROF: 789.5
Keep in mind I am also comparing META 1 pistols to a META 4 AR...
But yeah, nobody uses the breach scrambler pistols, they are a novelty item. So if you get the ROF anywhere NEAR 133.3 you will effectively kill the TAR. Obviously there is some room between the current TAR and that. Perhaps the current scrambler rate is a good compremise. The TAR would have a range and clip advantage over the scrambler, but the scrambler would have a slight damage and BIG headshot bonus over it.
Then if you want, add a breach tactical that fires 120+ damage shots at a rate closer to that breach pistol. But either way, up close the TAR should feel like a scrambler pistol without the massive headshot. Otherwise you solve very ltitle from its nerf because skilled folks will just swap to the scrambler in CQ and still own folks relying on pray and spray AR. |
