    The Virginian or Railsplitter?

    Which one would you choose to buy.

    Iv'e been hopping in and out of the DZ's just to get enough to buy one of these.


    I like Rifle builds the Virginian would be great but for all round the Railsplitter.

    Railaplitter. The idea of the Virginian is really fun. In reality, it only holds 5 rounds.

    Well, with virginian I could usually do 7-9 shots before reload (CHC is 59%)

    But Railsplitter? This is AR - completely different kind of combat, how you can even compare?

    I was asking which one would be a good buy.

    This is why I suggested people farm the DZ resource boxes awhile ago:

    Assuming you don't have the time to do that now, get whichever suits your preferred play style.

    Viriginian on a Headhunter build is pretty damn strong. But you need to be VERY accurate or have a LOT of weapon handling to deal with the constant reloading.

    Yeah i went for the Railsplitter in the end, i wanted to make a DTA/DTH AR build with pinpoint accuracy. not worried about crit stuff because every bullet will hit and melt.

    My build is currently at

    18% DTA
    25% DTH
    78% Accuracy
    33% Stability
    75% Headshot damage
    Sharpshooter spec.
    45% CHC
    105% CHD
    Non optimized or anything god rolled (Yet)
    When i aim at any NPC i literally never miss with the Railsplitter.(Which is handy with a controller on a console)

    They're on relatively short rotations, Jack. So, even if you still want to get the Virginian, you should be able to casually acquire the resources for its next appearance.

    Rail is not only AR
    This is WEAK AR (CTAR)
    Basically, worse version of Famas

    also this

    could work on normal only, maybe at hard. At challenging there would be a troubles already and on heroic... well... better bring ammo factory

    CTAR-21 900 41371
    Only 6% higher damage per bullet. But Railsplitter is a laser beam (with it's talent).
