AR's Vs Others

[Winterwolf]

Is it me or are assault rifles just flat out better than other guns?

I can have a similarly classed SR and be bagging weakpoint after weakpoint shot like clockwork and still get outpaced in the damage department by someone rattling off with their AR. Doesn't really seem right...

I would expect an AR to do more DPS at mid range than a SR.

Depends on your build
The AR
Mods

Most ARs get outclassed by a good SMG build close range

But since there are no dungeons (yet?) and hardly any PvE in groups (none?) I can't really test that other than by myself...

What server are you playing on?
There's some 8 different dungeons and I'm playing in a group more often than I'm not and I'm not talking about in a group with friends (which I also do ofc) but with total randos

[PinkPanther]

Which dungeons? ^^ The SILOS?

I'm on the PvP server - there's no PvP there but still a PvP server :D

I think it's the shrapnel and crit that make it OP, you have a more complete set of build in items, armor set, and mods surrounding this type of damage and buff these stats to double and triple the damage. Where as the set of build that contribute to SR is less friendly, gotta admit SR mods are kinda garbo this season. Also rely too much on weakspot damage, which AR build doesn't, so it makes sense that DPS can outclass burst damage.

I use the Scar and a .50 Cal, seem good combo

AR's are supperior as they should be. They lack range and pinpoint accuracy thou.

And yes, play Tarkov FFS! Play TarkovSP for all i care! Learn that the AR IS the ultimate gun for ALL situations, somewhat depending on what you put onto that thing, but in total its better than most other types.

It handles CQC as good as SMG's and Shotguns
It has waaaay more power than both, shotguns and smg's
Its nearly as accurate and has nearly the same range as a sniper
A rifle wont even compete against a pistol these day's so how would they compare?

Edit:
MG's , especiel those with power, are to heavy. Even LMG's are to heavy to be used as good as an AR.

Cross bow or bow are elite in this game vs bullets. GO FIGURE!

+1

That's why everyone uses ARs around the world and !situational! they use other guns.

I use a legendary AK47 with frost vortex Paired with the frost vortex armor and frost spike mod!!! Man PvP is amazing!

[Massive Legend]

I feel more like everything else then snipers are useless. Why would I use anything else then this sniper that can one shot every mob in the game with 20k dmg. I'm low lvl 40 and killing all the mobs over lvl 50 with one shot.
