Was the AR buffed?

Used to be able to out pistol an AR now it seems like it is the other way around… anyone experience this?

edit: I myself have to use it more. just wondering

It feels the exact same to me as it did in the beta actually, besides having 4 more rounds in the magazine.

I think the difference you are noticing is that the pistol was tweaked with a slower rate of fire.

I think it has been given a bit of a buff over past versions. I think it had to be increased because it’s now the primary loadout gun in most modes. I think it also gets an advantage because of the increased speed of the game and the spray hitting fast moving characters more easily(it’s more deadly sideways than head on)
