Boom OP weapon. You sound like you're decribing the normal AR
Yep, though, the AR is suppose to be easy.
Hard to make a weapon that is suppose to be competitive at both long range and short range, stand in line with more specialized variants like Shotguns and Sniper Rifles.
With the AR, you sacrifice using a specialized weapon and you cannot use it on vehicles. |

And why would I want to use a specialized weapon if an AR is just as good at doing that specialized weapons role? frankly the only thing it can't do is shoot at a range, considering the only weapon ATM that can is the sniper rifle, why should I not use an AR? You would think being specialized would make other weapons better at their own roles... but they're not. Currently all you need is an AR/SCR and flaylock/SMG, why would I use anything else?
Ask Maken Tosch why he uses Knives.
Scrambler pistol is beast, one shot scouts in the head.
Enough small talk.
If you play very aggressive in close quarters you could use the Shotgun, it may have been nerfed, though, it is far from useless.
The only things that need to be touched are the MD, HMG and Laser rifle. They all need to be buffed, the HMG needs a VERY small buff.
By your logic, there is no need for the Laser Rifle, Scrambler Rifle, Tactical Sniper Rifle, SMG or Shotgun. On the basis that the AR can function well in all of their ideal ranges.
Through specialization, you can more adequately perform your chosen role.
You could also argue why someone would ever want to use a forge gun over proto packed AV grenades and a proto nanohive.
For that same argument, why would someone ever want to use a Laser rifle VS a Scrambler rifle?
The answer is that it is different. Same reason we are given assault, breach, tactical and burst variants. They are different, if not always better. |
