SFAR is a plague fix it OP gun.

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.

  • @CarreraLuu If you can't beat em, join em. Pick up a SFAR yourself. I'll admit if you give yourself a good load out it's a very good weapon, probably one of the best rifles in the game.

    @DaveTheBrave_USA I have and the gun hits hard even though it has a slower ROF compared to other AR's. It def cant outperform the avancy which is another gun that needs mega nerfing

    @CarreraLuuYou're right. It is in the same class of effectiveness as the Avancy. And if you equip the right scope on it and pulse your rate of fire it makes a decent sniper rifle too. I like it and the grenade launchers gives you more bang for your buck. I might conclude that there is almost no reason to use anything else.

    I often also use the M5A3 and the M16A3 because they are really good too (or better than the SFAR) for short to mid range.

    I also get forced to not use the SFAR on legacy maps due to the notorious ADS bug.

    It is the AK12 and the AC42 that need some major buff.

    Agree it is too strong 

    Reduce the rate of fire and give greater recoil penalty for using extended mag.

    Maybe a very slight ads speed nerf too. It is a heavier weapon with the launcher so it should be a bit slower to handle.

    @CarreraLuu

    Time-to-kill values are more meaningful than damage dealt per shot for full auto weapons

    @SpudBugif they did all of the things you suggested, it would stop being used like the AC42.

    There would only be M5A3 users
