Assaulters are the only worth it troop from BR 1 - BR 4.
At BR 5 however, every type of unit is worth it again because thanks to select fire weapons everyone is basically an Assaulter.
So the Meta is and still stays full auto guns.
a simple BR2 MP40 in the right hands will outplay and out pressure every non SMGs and selectfire type of weapon - with the exception of some premium and gold order weapons.
Semi auto rifles are useless because of dispersion.
MGs are useless because of dispersion.
my goodness, bolt action rifles are surprisingly good because they lack dispersion, taking out players fast is great, but bolt actions still cant compete to weapons with 30 round magazines.
why don’t we finally after years get semi auto guns back into the meta by completely removing dispersion for them.
Semi autos should have much higher accuracy with close to no dispersion and higher rof at same time so they could compete vs bolts and smgs. Right now they kinda just exist and only become somewhat good at BR3-4 and really great at BR5.
Same could be said about most lmgs they are extremely inaccurate, if you start moving then say good bye to tiny bit of accuracy you had and since bipods are broken they are way worse than bolties and smgs.
I still remember when semi auto guns rate of fire was nerfed back in beta - despite only MGs and SMGs were used to begin with.
Unlike the MG nerf, nobody asked for the semi auto nerf - but no matter, some people still liked the rewarding aspect of delivering precise shots with rifles, and since bolt actions didn’t kill in one shot back in the day, people kept on using semi autos.
until the dispersion update hit the game, and destroyed every chance at having weapons that play differently than full auto META guns.
Well MGs are definitely not useless, I do use them all the time.
The only reason I currently do not use semis is because there’s no separate queue for them. Thus they can’t compete against rifles with full auto mode.
The only place where to use semis is BR2, and I do so with Japanese. My whole BR2 line up is filled type hei because I just love the weapon.
I don’t use the Italian semi tho. I don’t like it.
And yes, I asked for the buff. Because they’re obv underperforming against other types of weapons of the same BR. But they’re far from being useless.
But they do. The only reason why I don’t have to play them, is because I already finished all tech trees. And thus I can choose to play only what I truly want. I am not limited in any way.
Yeah, because asking for a buff is basically the same as saying anything that isn’t meta is useless.
Give me a break, lol.
That’s how progression in lot of f2p games works, deal with it.
And they’re faaaar from being useless. They’re just not meta.
Just another proof that you’re living in black & white world. For you, nothing in middle exists.
For me anything that is a filler is useless. SA rifles are a filler before you get SF rifles.
They are ok on low BR though.
So nothing ever will be useless, just not meta.
Yeah, because when I play I either see ppl with low end equipment or high end one, there is nothing in the middle. Maybe one or two guns per match are from “the middle”.
Well, they’re on different BR. So obv they’re worse.
It’s not the problem of weapons, it’s just issue of bad queue policy.
You can say that whole BR4 is useless, because it’s just filler BR before BR5. This doesn’t just apply to semi rifles.
And suddenly the problem is about something else entirely.
I agree. But overall performance of the weapon is judged by its performance + the environment it’s used in.
In high BR, SA are just a filler = useless.
The only reason why I don’t have to play them, is because I already finished all tech trees. And thus I can choose to play only what I truly want. I am not limited in any way.
