Seriously. My last Pro Slayer game I played exclusively with the assault rifle except for my first spawn (selected the wrong loadout). No problems with the AR here. I came out on top of the match against guys wielding BRs and DMRs almost exclusively. It wasn’t an easy fight, but you can’t tell me the AR is underpowered. You just gotta learn to use it right.
At one point, and you’ll notice in the game record by the DNFs, it was 2 on my team vs 4 on red, where they managed to catch up a smidge, making it a close game. But it was near the end of the game and I was still owning the top of the kills WITH an AR. So anyone that thinks the DMR or BR need to be nerfed, or the AR needs to be buffed…
Take a lesson in how to use the AR correctly.
