I think pretty much everybody agrees that the Carbine sucks at all ranges, and from my use of the light rifle, it seems even worse than the Carbine on all but the largest open maps.
Light rifle is better then the carbine.Light rifle has 2 modes of fire the dmr when scoped and the smaller br when hip fireing.
Nope, Light Rifle is great IMO, but you can’t afford to miss any shots
I disagree with all of this
I pretty much just spam headshots with the carbine…so I cannot complain. I love it. I like the light rifle but it is a bit slower and thus is a bit less appealing to me.
The light rifle is only good on large maps where you can scope in to get most of your kills. Its slow unscoped fire rate along with not being hitscan will make it frustrating to use in any other situation.
LR has a faster killtime than the DMR…
I love the carbine. Light rifle, I only like to use on AI enemies.
Dmr is the only thing I use
The LR darn near requires the Stability armour mod to be as effective in battle as the DMR. I haven’t seen anyone mention it but the LR is the most influenced to twitching when being shot.
I haven’t used the Carbine in MP yet and I don’t know what it’s like for twitching but I do know the spread doesn’t let the weapon be as rewarding as the others at mid range and farther.
I would say the LR is the highest tiered precision as a player that can own with the LR without the Stability mod, now that is both a skilled and smart player. When it has Stability, it is a deadly long ranged weapon when scoped that is equally is equally as effective as the BR or Carbine for preventing players from sprinting away when unscoped. Using the different scoped features, a player can devastate the field using the properties of all the precisions.
However, the DMR is a very, very consistent all-range precision weapon that is more easily tamed without the need for an armour mod to assist in bringing out the power.
even if it has faster kill time the fact that it’s not hit can makes it usless imo
ignore
Well my good sir, check my stats and see how much the carbine “sucks”.
cough! BS! cough
Not at all, I can rip shreds with both. I prefer light rifle for long range sniping and not player vs player battles (when they start shooting back I pull out a DMR) and carbine I find best for indoor close quarters
I’m a beast with the carbine in CQC!
I absolutely love the carbine. It’s so satisfying to spam like crazy and pull off a kill on someone who has to wait between shots with a DMR. And it’s also got crazy ammo capacity.
The LR, on the other hand, is incredibly painful to use in multiplayer. The lack of hitscan and the slow fire rate is near-impossible to cope with unless you’re firing while entirely unnoticed by the other team.
i havent had much experience with or against the lightrifle but the carbine with its high ROF is crazy at mid range.
ive only used the carbine a couple of time, so i cant say that im good with it. but mid range 1v1 battle me and my DMR have been owned a bunch of times by a carbine spitting rounds a 1000 mph lol.
disagree. Carbine has a brutally fast shooting speed that will disrupt and disturb enemy players on a 1 on 1. Light rifle is actually good, but not popular. Id say the br is 2nd to or wosrt. spread on this weapon makes it the most innaccurate of the 3 and had no particular traits other than busrt.
The Carbine is my most used weapon. Decent max ammo, RoF, accuracy, ammo supply, good for finishing off weakened shielding. I just wish I could turn on/off the green screen when zooming in. A slight buff in damage would also be nice.
As for the Light Rifle, I’m often forced to use it (particularly on Midnight). It takes too long to kill a Watcher and it feels like I’m wasting ammo on Knights. The only time I have fun using it is on Crawlers. Furthermore, it’s not too viable since it’s default firing is similar to the BR.
