Burst Rifles (BR16 specifically) need some help

(HadronZodiac) #1

No matter how accurate you make the guns, they are still weird and mierda because of the way they function. I personally think the stark is in a better place than the br16, so here we gooooo

BR16 -

+20 rpm
-13% delay between burst bullets

Stark -

+15 rpm
-12% delay between burst bullets

One of the main reasons (ESPECIALLY with br16) is landing headshots, but because of that huge delay between shots, usually you only land one of those headshots, making you only deal like 22 damage…

Opposite experience for me. I used to prefer the Stark and now I find it practically unusable in my hands. I hate the way it feels after the changes.

Idk if it just me but I’ve won plenty of fights using only the br-16 and I dont have good aim.

For me its just the quicker burst tbh, more consistant imo

The BR is a great medium range weapon. I find it’s best around the maximum hipfire range of things like the timik. It’s not supposed to be a semi-auto like the dreiss, you do have to continue tracking the enemy while firing, like any other weapon really. And it’s not that hard considering it’s accuracy.
Keep in mind how annoying weapons like the stark were several months ago though. Ranked was filled with stark thunders, and it was very easy to take someone out with a high damage string of headshots. While I feel like the stark does need some minor buffs now, you have to be careful to avoid what it was before, a high damage and high rate of fire weapon. Last thing we need is for the BR to turn into that too.

I do wish they’d stop giving burst rifles to mercs with assault rifles though, like skybro, fragger and thunder. They just feel weird when those mercs are clearly built to play with burst weapons. They’re better for long range, and having the BR on fragger just feels eh
