Useless because I hit every single shot on someone point blank in close quarters, yet the DMR/BR kills me first. What’s the point of using it if a long range weapon is better at point blank range?
Use the Storm Rifle instead; it’s more fun.
Are you serious? it is so damn strong at close range that makes want spawn with a boltshot sometimes (which I actually just recently started to because of the noob automatics)
Pair it up with active camo, you should do better
Suppressor Master Race.
Not sure what you are talking about, its better than most guns at mid range. If you really did place a whole clip into someone than there was game lag or you are mistaken.
The AR and Suppressor dominate close quarters. I don’t know about the Storm Rifle, I never use it.
why is everyone hating on the ar? its how you use it. you can use it to support or mainly kill. heck if everyone on the team stayed together and had an ar? everyone who challenges them basically is dead. but if you are a team player and use the ar then you will also become unstoppable. TEAMWORK plays a factor on how well the ar works
I use automatics a lot, and I found AR a little (really little) underpowered to Storm Rifle or Suppresor. However in close range it beats any precision rifle, except for DMR. DMR beats anything on any range.
^ Uhh yea, I did good on starting to use the boltshot.
I like the AR quite a bit.
-
The AR waxes DMR/BR at close range, but maybe you should try getting the first shot or strafing/moving around more.
-
The Storm Rifle and Supressor are more efficient than the AR in a close range fight.
-
Or you could always just use the Magnum because it’s the ultimate close-mid counter to the rifles.
Just tested it myself with 2 controllers. The BR and DMR beat all 3 short range weapons in a range of about 5m.
Ummmm definitely not useless…but whatever u say
> Not sure what you are talking about, its better than most guns at mid range. If you really did place a whole clip into someone than there was game lag or you are mistaken.
The AR is actually not underpowered for once. You’re probably just using it wrong: Walking in a straight line.
For those that are wondering why it does less damage than the other two: it’s hitscan (Bullets instantly hit after the trigger is pulled) and is more accurate, giving it a much better range.
The AR is a 16 shot kill. You shouldn’t be using an entire clip, it is reasonably accurate at close range. This isn’t even factoring in grenade explosions, melees, etc either.
If it was any more powerful it would be overpowered. It’s fine.
The AR is far from useless, if you try jumping up and down and strafing while keeping the aiming reticule on the guy, I would be hard-pressed to see someone with a DMR kill you at close range. The AR now kills in 16 rounds and has a slightly increased rate of fire from the previous versions (H3 and Reach), and still retains the same accuracy and range of these versions.
Meh. Short range you gotta take advantage of situations. BR and DMR users will beat you a lot but they are pansies. Once you do beat them they freak out with nade volleys. It’s just another way of playing I guess.
I go quite positive in oddball using it. Going into big maps is useless most of the time, but you need to expect that.
I’ve said it before, it’s not that it is underpowered but it takes a lot more work. But its fun
