    Purple/Yellow??

    Question. I'm at WT5 and I have been looking for a GOOD CTAR. Why? who knows. What I have found in looking for one is that I always come across a Purple CTAR that's much more powerful than it's Yellow counterpart. Example: Yellow CTAR 11k vs a 14k-16k purple. Sure I know it has one less attribute but I can work with that if it's the correct two attributes I'm looking for. Has anyone else drop down to a purple weapon over the yellow because of the subject matter I have brought up here??

    Thank You.

    I don’t know about the purple/yellow, but I do know I haven’t crossed the 500 threshold on any build because the rolls are all way worse...

    i used to love the CTAR but at GS 500 they are always bad for some reason. very low bullet dmg whenever i see one. the rpm isnt good enough to compensate for this.

    I'm guessing in the right hands it could do some damage. But why go to the CTAR when you have the F2000.

    The F2000 lacks the underrail mod, and if you're going for a high crit build it can be a crucial mod to have. Particularly if you are running a build that requires minimal damage attributes. That one mod can be the difference between capping your crit without having to either break your build or just go without capping and hope you will eventually find an item with that one roll that will make it work.

    I will say this though, I've found that the F2000, Famas, and CTAR, which all seem to have very similar damage and rpm rolls, don't seem to hold a candle to a well rolled M4. Not only does the accuracy and stability roll quite high on an M4, but the damage and rpm, particularly with allegro, will be very close to all 3 of them and in some cases higher if the others don't have allegro. With the other 3 I feel I need to use mods to compensate for the terrible weapon handling whereas the M4 I can pretty much go straight damage increases for all the mods. Of course if you run sharpshooter that's really not a factor.

    I fully agree with you, Monostatik.

    The M4 is my absolute favorite AR. I crafted one at 465 that had high accuracy and full stability. I was able to use my +elite scope and +elite suppressor and used it until I got my chatterbox. I couldn't find anything else even close.
