rail or rifle?

[Taxuk0]

What is better to take against robots? rail can kill a hulk with 1 shot, a sniper rifle with 2, but rail cannot normally destroy a tower or tank. a sniper rifle can demolish a tower or a tank for 1 magazine. everything seems to indicate that you should take a sniper rifle. what is your opinion?

I don't use either, but based on what you're saying is true and accurate, I'd take the sniper rifle for its versatility.

Rail can take out tank and turret but it takes a lot of shots and more time than the AMR. I'd say use the AMR since it has the better rate of fire, is better vs devastators, gets 2 shots out before the railgun can charge up that unsafe shot, doesn't have an explosion risk, has more than a x1 scope on it, doesn't have to reload after every shot, and is a generally better weapon.

AMR obviously, since Rail is dead already.

Rail used to do front pen on turrets and tanks then kill it in like 6-8 shots which isn't too bad consider you don't have to flank, but now you just can't do anything to those thing in timely manner, even when shooting heatsink.
(Oh and RG is pretty damn useless against the Gunship too, it's just can't stop taking L)

With AMR or better yet AC, you can kill everything the bots have to offers, you just need to use your team as bait or do some flanking to shoot the heatsink and the fact that you don't need to charge and reload each shot mean you can kill a lot faster if you got good aim.

Overall, any AT options is now better than Rail lol.

wouldn't say there is a right answer here, both are good it will come down to personal pref. the rail has a higher work speed , the amr is easier to put to use.

SPEAR/Autocannon. AMR and Railgun are more situational, not to mention that the second one has a bad sight. Well, actually. when these 4 pieces are in the team, there is no place left for bots

RIFLE good.

Well in order of how good I consider them to be: Autocannon, then AMR, then Railgun.
So if autocannon isn't available, I'd take AMR.

Carry the rail rifle, call in an EAT when you need it.

AMR is just better than Railgun against bots overall now.

But even more specifically AMR can kill gunships pretty easily. Railgun is terrible against those so if you get multiple in the field you might as well throw your hands up and surrender.

with the shield I would suggest an AMR, railgun is ammo hungry and with 20 shots you will run out quickly. It is a case of, would you like a scope or a weapon that can one shot most of elites and seriously damage tanks and turrests. Railgun is fun with ammo backpack, you can dishout a lot of damage with so much ammo.

depend on how confident with your aim, railgun punch bigger hole mean easier to hit weak spot, no recoil can kill hulk or medium bots fast and allow/force you take time to aim. AMR is faster fire rate and better at long range but you have to hit weak spot precisely, it can also use as anti air. I use railgun over AMR because my aim with scope is not very good and railgun can force me to take time to aim and is much forgivable in medium range.
