Are Assault Rifles even worth using?

[Demonic Goddess]

Their crit modifier still sucks compared to other guns, they're innaccurate as all hell, and they can all be outperformed by their Pistol counterparts. Plus since lasers (apparently) have a 3x crit modifier, there is absolutely no reason to use an Assault Rifle over a Blaster!

I was really hoping that this would be addressed in this game, because this was an issue in BL2. But just like Tiny Tina's changes to the story, it appears that the dev team looked at this issue and said "Lol nope."

i just found the purple vladof ' ferocious guerilla ' and the ' exspansive renegade ' to be really good

but to find this one i tested a lot of crappy one ,all other Ar sucks ( not including specific blue or shredifier ) and they dont suck cause other weapons are better , they are just bad

edit : tested a green/purple torgue hard lance it has a nice scope and it's accurate (with some accuracy from skills ) ,also the Purple vladof Ar ' swift rifle ' and the purple vladof Ar resolute rifle ' ( dahl stock ,vladof grip ) are really good

Nice necro, dingus.
And ARs don't suck. But people do.

With all due respect, that videos is mainly "AR don't suck because they come in these manufacturers and because of a few unique ones that are very good" it doesn't really explain what is good about AR in general compared to the other types of weapon.

In my humble experience as a level 22 player in TPS, I've found AR to be vastly inferior to every other weapon type of a similar level. They're not necessarily bad and I still use them because of the challenges and because I like variety but they still feel weaker.
There are more accurate weapons at any range.
There are weapons with higher RoF and damage.

AR should be between SMG and Sniper Rifles. Low RoF but high damage and good accuracy. Instead they lack in the last two.

For legendary Ar :

- the legendary Ar Major tom is my favorite Assaut rifle

- the legendary shredifier is classic and effective

- the unique blue ol' painful is also very fun to use

others legendary Ar seems like they are not legendary
