Burst is supposed to be the true mid range variant. The GK was one of the best, if not underrated ARs back in beta and the Allotek was a monster in Chrome. Hit detection and aiming issues kind of make it useless below proto level.

^^^Agreed with above. And I have to honestly say, I miss the 7 round burst they used to have. The 3-round burst just doesn't output the same kind of damage that the Allotek used to have before the change. The 7-round burst made full use of the high rate of fire, and those who mastered it were CQC gods. I kinda wish they would change it back, strange as it may seem. >.>

If they brought the 7 round burst back, it might need a wider hip spread. We don't want another repeat of the TAC AR drama.

Tectonic Fusion The Unholy Legion Of DarkStar DARKSTAR ARMY 92	Posted - 2013.08.03 02:20:00 - [1] - Quote The proto breach ar rocks (1 complex damage mod), but the advanced sucks (even with a complex). The proto burst and the advanced rock with 1 complex damage mod. Why don't I see these guns in the killboard? I used a basic medium caldari suit with a basic smg and a adv burst ar with a complex damage mod, and I got 10-1. I know it's not a good ratio, but this was the 3rd time I used this variant of the AR.
Cat Merc BetaMax. 3770	Posted - 2013.08.03 02:24:00 - [2] - Quote Proto and Advanced Breach AR have barely any difference. You probably had a good match with the proto one. In general Breach AR's suck. Less range, less clip capacity, and a whopping 100 less DPS(!).

I also find this discrepancy interesting. I'm curious, does CCP base that accuracy rating on the initial accuracy of the HMG when fired, the accuracy after one second has passed and the spread calms down, or some algorithmic combination of the two?

Cosgar ParagonX 3853	Posted - 2013.08.03 23:30:00 - [9] - Quote TAC AR is still damn good, but the other variants aren't that effective until proto. Full-auto AR just outshines them because it's too effective in all situations. If that doesn't say it's OP, nothing will.

Ever since the breach AR's got a range nerf,you have to use it in a very specific way in order to be successful with them.Just think of them as full automatic shotguns and you'll be ok with them.

And their shields go down very quick. Armor is the easy part.

I take down peoples shields with my submachine gun, then when I run out of ammo, I hipfire with the burst. But I usually go at normal AR range and go into the scope to kill. I have good aim, so I always get quick kills with it. For it to be OP, it needs to be fired faster between the 3 shot burst.

The GK was one of the best, if not underrated ARs back in beta and the Allotek was a monster in Chrome. Hit detection and aiming issues kind of make it useless below proto level.

We don't want another repeat of the TAC AR drama. 4-5 round burst is fine to me. It's a little underpowered. But I do better with it than my Duvolle.
8213 Grade No.2 75	Posted - 2013.08.04 04:47:00 - [22] - Quote I use the CreoDron once in a while. You can't use the Breach ARs like regular ARs, they force you to hang back and pick up kills and assists from the perimeter. Not really my cup of tea to be playing like that. But for their playstyle and purpose, the CreoDron is probably a bit OP actually.
