AC-AR is a great ASR!

Found the AC-AR a day or two ago. I really like this weapon. When maxed it has 32 damage and a decent rate of fire at 750. I tend toward weapons with heavier damage as I would rather hit them once than twice to eliminate a point of failure in my kill chain. I carry it with a grenade launcher attached as my all around ASR. Unlike most of the rifles it has a decent iron sight. Using irons opens up the field of view when the weapon is aimed in first person. As a loooonnnng time FPS player I've found it is the narrow FOV or reloads that tend to get you killed. Narrow FOV leaves you vulnerable to being blind sided easily by either real people or NPC's. I usually load an extended mag and use an iron sight if it isn't that standard pin iron sight the game uses on most rifles. Try seeing that pin front sight with dark night turned on...

Notice that the game mounts all the scopes on rails. Rails are there to allow you to mount and dismount scopes w/o changing point of aim and having to re-zero the scope. So I generally will run around with the digital scope for the over 100m shots. Then if I am going to be clearing rooms I'll pop the scope off and use the irons, because they will be there on a standard issue rifle, and I'm not adding a second sight by doing this. Also the game gives you the ability to do so anywhere you are located, so it isn't a glitch. It is actually a more realistic use of scopes and sights. This maximizes my ability to use the weapon in either mid to long range and in close range where a wider FOV becomes critical to survival. So having a rifle with a good set of irons is a great bonus. The AC-AR has a hard hitting cartridge and decent irons, plus a decent rate of fire. That combo works well for me!

Yeah I play immersive. The gear level is just too gamy for me. Makes it impossible - for me - to maintain immersion and that is a deal breaker. So I lean more toward the milsim side of things.,
