    Nothing has been nerfed - everything has just been readjusted. Your AR will melt npc's faster than ever in 1.3.

    If you just read nerf things on patch notes then you are not paying attention to the full picture.

    That's why I'm asking I haven't played it yet and I'm just going by what my buddy said. Of course he's using the G36. I for one don't care for it. I snagged a ACR from the DZ that's been great. Thanks for the responses.

    They did change the way they handled, so may be that is where he is finding issues? Most of them jump more than they used to, it's much tougher to just keep the trigger squeezed. It's why I went to a 2 piece Striker during the PTS.

    Also, IIRC, you get a stability bonus firing from smart cover as well.

    Hey, as others have mentioned, only the G36 had its damage reduced. A lot of factors have changed, so while they may do less damage overall, you have to also consider that many things have had been re scaled.

    Sorry gabe, but in 4 player groups nothing has really changed. NPCs are still way too spongy and not much different from 1.3 at all. It might even be worse since you took away all the stuff that helped with that issue.

    In the overall picture I would say that AR's got a slight buff. They are in a very good spot right now.
