It needs a flat 25% reduction in kick, and a sharpshooter skill. In terms of range, it either has already.. Or will soon be, receiving a range buff to be on par with gallente ARs.
Then, to match its higher clip count and fast reload and much higher damage, it needs heat build increased by around 40-50%, ATM heat build up on AScR is irrelevant.
I think all Racial ar variants should have sharpshooter skill. Makes it balanced that way. |

No,its already matched! it has a larger clip but the pricing and CPU/PG consumption are WAY larger than AR's. They should have an advantage. If you don't like it then reduce the CPU and PG requirements to AR level then. PLUS you can NEVER shoot all 75 ASScr bullets without overheating the weapon so even if it has more clip size is almost irrelevant.(BUT ARs CAN shoot all 60 bullets without penalty so yeah...)
The CPU/PG requirements are a separate issue imo, you should never balance weapons by their CPU/PG requirements, thats a dark path to head down. Its quite possible the CPU/PG reqs need tweaking, but that should be done separate to the balancing of the weapon itself. All racial assault rifle variants should have similar requirements, for the sake of balance.
Maybe make an equation x*(CPU)+y*PG = z. Where x is some value for the cost of CPU and y is some value for the cost of PG and z is equal for every AR variant.
I'll admit I haven't used the AScR in a while, but last time I used it, the heat build up was a joke on it... I don't think I ever got above halfway on the heat meter...
It does need some work though I agree, it should defo have less dispersion than ARs with AR Op 5, I totally agree there.
All 4 variants of assault rifles should have sharpshooter, or it should be removed from the game entirely... either way.
The heat build up on the AScR is a great way to give it some flavor though... maybe even decrease the heat build up slightly, but decrease the cooldown significantly... so extended use will cause it to overheat, but you can rip through... say 1.5 clips of continuous fire before overheating... i dunno just an idea.
In any case, the AScR needs some love.. I totally agree. |
