Another counter: Kill them at distance with the Laser Rifle, oh wait...

...a red dote sight...

Yes how to counter the TAR. Before you call me a Troll, I dont give a ****... And before you counter argue with my tip on how to counter the TAR... **** off... lol I really could care less but the Tar is a weapon like any other gun in the game, and it kills. So what if people use it, more then half the game pop uses it... So what... Anyways - how to counter the TAR you ask?

- Strafe left and right and hide behind cover if they hit you from a distance.

- Strafe left and right and dodge their hits, most likely close range they will use hipfire.

- Use a Scrambler rifle, the ultimate counter attack to TAR users. Scrambler rifle can charge up and hit like a sniper rifle from mid to long range. Or you can tap the trigger similar to the TAR and hit mid to long range. The scrambler rifle has an advantage- its Sight on it is better- More like a red dote sight while the TAR has a ACOG similar sight. Only downside to the Scrambler rifle is it heats up insanely fast. Thats where skill comes in, you get better at mastering the heat build up by timing it.

On the first day of using the scrambler rifles, I went for Proto scrambler rifles, and by far I counter every TAR user. TIP- just go into and out of cover, once they see your trying to hide, they get the feeling your an easy target. Then you pop out of cover, nail them in the chest and face, before the Scrambler can heat up, its kill right there. Stick together with teammates or squad mates.

Thats all folks... I just hope you guys realize the TAR can be Countered.

Another counter: Locate target with TAR. Flank. Shotgun to face.
Another counter: Locate target. Run over with LAV.
Another counter: Bring Sniper Rifle. Kill at more than 3 times their max range.
Another counter: TANK.

Thanks for sharing, good to know this is a solid tactic when you learn the Scrambler. +1.

So what's the counter to half or more of the enemy team with TAR's?

the counter is waiting it out till CCP swings the nerf hammer. the denial of some people is really amusing but you should simply face the fact that the nerf is unavoidable.

its the packs of tars that's problem, its like an old fashioned firing squad, READY...AIM....FIRE !..... and I drop before I even think about cover, I use a tar myself sometimes, it has its draw backs, and it doesn't fire as quick as it says, sure you can empty it quick but you be lucky to hit the target twice, with full auto 1 round follows the next, with tar the sight shift up and to the side, so you need to constantly re adjust, might not be a problem with mouse @ board...

Yep.

Exactly why I've been trying to round some numbers for the new Tac AR's stats.
I stopped trusting CCP with the nerf hammer. I'd rather we nerf ourselves.
Here's what input from some people on the numbers I proposed lead to.
