Favorite AR?

(jotun) #21

Gerund for sure. Euston is basically an SMG with less ammo.

I like having my Gerund AR for long range accuracy, and Carb-9 SMG or the shotgun for close quarters

Great thread. Shows the whiners how much variation and decision making there is in the gun selection process.

I used the Gerund for a while, but I’m starting to prefer the Euston. I think I’m going to try removing the muzzle break to see how much it helps damage at distance… I also need to experiment more with the Rhett. I was using it a bit last night, and I think it has potential to be the best AR.

Well, sadly Carb9 is not a choice in this thread :smiley:

(ED209) #24

Been tossing between Euston and Gerund with Kross as backup. Muzzle breaks, red dot, front grip and duct tape ammo

(pikasecks) #25

Gerund is a headshot machine.

FRKN-3K’s rate of fire is too damn slow, makes it ineffective when enemies get too close. better have a good sidearm to switch immediately to counter that

(felismenari) #26

I wouldn’t go that far. I’ve been using the Kross with ext. mags, muzzle brake, and adjusted irons. It’s performed fairly well. But, after fiddling around a little bit with the CARB-9 and same attachments, I’m starting to see why people like it so much. Runs out of bullets faster due to the smaller mag, but it can tear people up at close range.

think he means how the thread is about your favorite assault rifle and smg’s do not fall into that category. perhaps a favorite smg thread is in order. :slight_smile:

(iezza) #28

F34K with greeneye scope(Smaler alternative to COGA with mid range zoom(not coga but not red dot) With muzle break, Noobtube, and duct tapped mags. Pwned!

(fearlessfox) #29

[QUOTE=crazyfoolish;313764]Not really true. The Euston has a lot of random spread compared to the gerund.
[/QUOTE]

And the Euston has a tonne more damage. It really does take stuff down faster if you know how to aim well with it.

Euston actually doesn’t do any more damage than the the Gerund.

According to the weapon stats http://denkirson.xanga.com/738334226/brink/ it does less per shot. And that is correct in my experience.
The “Damage” bar in the weapon selection page seems to be maximum possible dps, not damage per shot.

Gerund is by far the best AR if you want to use it as a AR, at medium-long range using burst fire. Euston is more like a smg with high recoil but good first shot accuracy.

(Kryhavok) #31

+1 for Gerund. Slap a COG and front grip on it and you can cover long range and med/short, though you wont beat out a SMG in CQC.

Second choice goes to Euston but I can’t get the hang of its handling so I generally don’t use it.

Yeah but the difference is that the Euston has a lot higher ROF. If you’re hitting every shot, the Euston has a much higher DPS than the Gerund.

It is maximum possible, and as most maps don’t let you exploit the mid-long range potential of ARs as much as inyourface fire, the Euston’s maximum potential is reached a lot more often than The Gerund truly gets to shine.

At least, in my experience.

he really got owned by you :slight_smile:
and my fav is gerund with coga muzzle break grip and ext. clipsize.
:stroggtapir:

(fearlessfox) #35

Only if you assume I was talking about damage per shot, which I wasn’t.

Regarding the Euston:
Long range is very tricky, but I can hit very well with this thing after some practice and it feels like it drops long range targets a lot quicker than the Gerund.

Trust me, I’m not an AR fan boy. If the Gerund felt like it was a faster killer, it would be my primary. It’s not, however, it’s simply easier to use.

(Kazang) #36

I started using the Euston when I first unlocked it but I don’t see the point of it any more. It’s like a middle of the road, good at nothing gun.

The CARB-9 has better damage up close and the Gerund is better at range. At range the fast rof of the Euston is wasted because spraying is obviously terrible, while the accuracy isn’t anything special, it’s actually pretty terrible compared to the Gerund which is as accurate as the Barnett.
At close range the recoil makes it worse than a CARB-9 which does better damage.

On a light with no proper secondary weapon I could maybe see the point of the Euston but as is it’s kinda meh.

The Gerund might be better at the /furthest range possible/, but mid range+ and the Euston out-performs it entirely.

While range can be nice, I find the maps give /much/ more opportunity for the mid range capability to shine.

Gerund is only good if you prefer sitting back and taking stuff out from a distance and you don’t like the slow RoF of the rifles. Things is, the majoirty of firefights in Brink happen at mid range (at least in my experience) so the Euston gets far more opportunity to make its superior DPS matter.

It’s only meh if you can’t aim it at mid range.

Gerund = easy mode AR (more consistent, not as good a dmg spike)
Euston = a hard mode AR (less consistent, much higher dmg spike)

Get more consistent wit the Euston and you won’t go back.

(Murderous Pie) #38

i use the Euston with a yeotek RDS and grip. i avoid the muzzle break because it seems to severely limit how well you can drop enemies at a distance IMHO. i hate the recoil of the gerund, too random for me. the Euston just rises slightly and is easy to control when used with my setup.

(Ghostdog) #39

Rhett or Euston with red dot, silencer, taped mags plus the noobtube. Like them both.

I suppose by hard mode you mean bullets not actually hitting what you’ve got your crosshairs on? The Gerund backed by an SMG secondary gives you more versatility (and ammo) than a Euston backed by a sniper rifle or high-range pistol. I started with the Euston on my medium character, switched to Gerund and won’t go back.
