DUST Search - To those who think the AR is OP

Easiest - Swarm Launcher Good luck killing a tank with an AR
Easy Mode - Assault Rifle / Assault scrambler rifle / Sub Machine Gun / Scrambler rifle You mean... standard infantry weapons not meant to be specializations? Seroiusly?
Easy - Mass Driver / Flaylock Hahahahaha, oh God. I'm not saying they're easy mode, but flay needed a nerf because of how good it was. Mass Driver is crazy good in any city environment. Come on, now.
Just above Easy - Heavy machine gun Now I know you're just making **** up. HMG is one of the weakest weapons in the game because of how easy it is to get away from. You could have made this argument a few months ago, but now? It's well below every single weapon you've mentioned thus far.
Moderate - Nova Knives ....
Moderate - Forge Gun Forge gun is mad deadly in the right hands. Again, all about situation. I've been 1 shot killed from far as hell away multiple times now. If you can get yourself in the right spot, its perfect. Not to mention how its even better against tanks at times than Swarm in a lot of cases due to the instant hit style of its fire.
Challenging - Pistol Fulfilling its role as a sidearm. Its why every starting gun you've ever used in gun game (Counter Strike, Battlefield 3, etc.) was a pistol, not an assault rifle.
Imposssibruuu - Plasma Cannon Besides all of the people predicting that plasma is going to be the next FOTM, I honestly haven't touched this one yet (it wasn't available pre-release and I don't have anyone close to me who has any real experience with it.) So I can't really comment outside of hearsay.

Back in the beta (edit: back when I had easy access to the following), lasers had their purpose (usually anus peak). Great at mid-midlong range, not so good anywhere else. SMGs and shot guns are good at open close range. Mass Drivers and Flaylocks are great in tight close range, snipers are great at long rangers etc., etc. ARs aren't easy mode. They are the median weapon, and the most comfortable weapon for most FPS players. Get over it.

Don't worry, the AR isn't OP, it's just easy button for people without skill. Swipe the hit scan beam across an enemy a few times, ??? Profit! So easy even I could do it. Such a crybaby, dude. God damn.
