Does it have any zoom whatsoever? LR is longer range so there should really be a sort of zoom element to it. I'm not saying bring back the Camera Scope but just make that current aiming animation (where you can see outside the scope as well) have a zoom inside the scope, so things only inside that scope have zoom...that was probably confusing, I hope not.

It's 23% efficiency at 17m in ADS (third image)

It's 35% efficiency at 17m in hip fire (first image)

What's up with that?

What do we think??..the AR is hard to use, CCP. Noone even uses the laser rifle.

The iron sight on the AR is hard to use because you can barely see the dot that you have to aim with. A lot of the people like the way it looks but it isn't very functional. I don't understand how one can justify no sights on an assault rifle 6 months after the fps game has been released. This is unprecedented!!!!...and not in a good way either.

What bothers me is that you have sights on weapons that are used the least. I don't understand the logic for placing sights on lasers, scrambler, and tactical rifles.....and totally ignore the most used weapon in the game. Even the submachine gun, which can't be used at distances has a sight. Can't you guys see the problem???? This is a shooter that is designed to not shoot....aim mwchanics are blown, hip fire is broken, hit detection suffers, no sights, and a dysfunctional iron sight with a barely visible bar to aim with.

Now...what do you think??

Its good that the laser rifle is getting a new scope.. didnt like the other one all that much and that is not a new map its one of the new sockets

I thought it was a whole new map


I am now sad panda.



Can you confirm just more than one new socket this time CCP?

So when are ARs going to get red dots? I'd like to think that 26000 years in the future, man kind has figured out that they help everyone shoot better.

great! now can we get a difference in dmg and range with the std, adv and proto versions?

Where is my AR scope.... I mean the dropsuit fitting screen shows that my AR's have a scope.?


EDIT: This is an edit in response to the follow up posts in the rest of this thread.
The Reason as I Recall the removal of the scope went like this.

CCP didn't have ranges on the AR's & we also had 2 SKILLS called SHARPSHOOTER that extended the ranges (currently that 1 skill now controls dispersion or kick I don't remember right now which one it covers), so with the scope we had prior to its removal, a BREACH variant could have ALMOST the same range as the Tacticals. Now instead of being ready with the new range system CCP decided to gimp the problem by forcing us to use the Iron Sights after taking away the ORIGINAL Sharpshooter skills (note plural) and thus reduce our long range game; this resulted in the tacticals quickly becoming FOTM and with the nerf to them and the amount of ammo in their clip the problem for them was "solved".

The reason why some of us AR users can DEAL with the not having a reflex dot or a acog and is because for 9 months our AR's had a nice scope and we could remember how and from where we could get the same type of kills. Then about 2 -3 months ago ccp worked the ranges into the mix.

The IRON Sights is a P.O.S. and now that LR with its longer range is making a resurgence why can AR's not get at least the same ability to track an enemy or get more than a lucky headshot in.

great! now can we get a difference in dmg and range with the std, adv and proto versions?

The clip size wasn't the problem. It was the freaking ROF that modded controller took advantage of.

Realistically there is no reason for traditional scopes on ANY of these weapons with the possible exclusion of the sniper rifle. I mean, we are inside sealed dropsuits and are looking through lenses already, how could the suits optics not simply link up with the gun "sight"? Yes, yes, I know, it's a standard convention to use sights like this in FPS but seriously, any type of iron sight, or any sight that would significantly obscure your view of the battlefield makes no sense!
