Guys, the SFAR buff was unnecessary, it's out performing every other assault rifle in the game. This is ridiculous now. Please review this gun and balance it with other AR's.
I'm tired of getting 2-3 tap by this thing at long range, while I dump about 10-15 bullets into enemy that won't die.
Here's a chart from sym.gg why this thing needs to be balanced. No way a gun is balanced when it comes to damage drop off etc.
@PsubondDo not forget to use your underbarrel grenades as often as needed. They also work as a makeshift shotgun on direct close range hits.
If the SFAR also had the MasterKey shotgun, it would be an absolute all around weapon. Thankfully for the other guns it at least has its close range disadvantage.
@Ne0tax
I'm afraid this comparison doesn't accurately reflect what happens IRL/in an actual game because targets wouldn't just stand there while being shot at. From experience (I have ~12 500 kills with the AC42), it's much harder to use the ac42 on burst mode at this distance (~100 m) if the target is moving, simply because the delay between shots is significant (~75 ms internal burst delay and 225 ms delay between bursts; bullet travel time ~125 ms for 100 m distance) - so even if you lead your shots properly, only a single shot from a burst might actually hit target. Also, it seems that you're shooting at a higher than intended rate with the AC42 in the video - again, it wouldn't have needed a buff if that were the ACTUAL RoF. At this distance, I wouldn't use any gun on burst/full-auto mode; I'd use single-fire instead - the SFAR outclasses the other ARs at range since it requires only 5 bullets to kill, while both the AC42 and M5A3 have a BTK of 6 at this range. I don't think the 150 ms difference in TTK (SFAR, 300 ms vs AC42, 450 ms) in the 30-75 m range is justified.
Same here bubba, pushing 50+ myself, so I feel ya, lol.
I don't know if I would call it OP, I would say "effective"
To be honest the other ARs could use a buff instead of nerfing the SFAR.
See, even Westie thinks the SFAR is a bit overpowered!

Oh well since a YouTuber/streamer said so, it's settled then.
As I said before, I think it's fine it's the other ARs that need buffed.

Yeah they need to buff my trusty AC-42 🙂
I somehow do better with it over the SFAR, horses for courses I suppose, whatever suits your playstyle works best
