I was just testing out an AK earlier today and found the lack of accuracy/stability frustrating: it could not reliably land body shots on a target in the open beyond about 35 m (obviously the problem is greater for targets with partial cover or if you're going for headshots). It kind of feels that the design range of this weapon is out to about 20 m.Originally Posted by fikenat872 Go to original post
I did have +20% accuracy from the mods I happened to have available (I didn't have any stability mods), but this was a level 7 blue AR, so perhaps it's significantly better in the endgame?
Or maybe I'm just using ARs in general too much at the outside of their design range, or focusing too much on headshots? But I do feel that at 25-35 m, especially when dealing with targets in partial cover, the Police M4 and Carbine 7 land a lot more hits.
(I'm not terribly familiar with use of ARs, so any hints are welcome!)

If you have to choose between the two.
Choose between Police M4 or Capacitor I would probably go for M4, not much skill oriented player. Using ACR-E (Measured) since first started playing and it has become my favorite. Lately switched to FAL (Near Sighted) and have to say that one is pretty effective as well. Don't really case about the handling because at the range I attack most NPCs they are big enough that you can't really miss them.
Capacitor is a copy of PDR.Originally Posted by Epsylium Go to original post
I'd took Capacitor - for his huge CHD boost
But if you have really good M4 - why not?
Most ARs are equal to each other.
For PVP use high RPM for burst damage, for PVE - low RPM for sustain DPS and saving ammo
Since the Capacitor gets damage for skill tier or weapon damage, you can stack up Skill Tier to improve your shield while also getting damage for the Capacitor. The gun damage won't be as high, but you'll get a better shield out of the deal.Originally Posted by BrokenFire319 Go to original post
And if you stack Memento and Capacitor, you'll end up with a VERY strong shield without giving up very much in terms of damage output.
The Capacitor has high built-in CHC and very good accuracy. So much so that I don't find the smaller mag to be an issue at all.

Beyond ~20m you either need excellent recoil correction or the addition of some WH. Definitely easier to handle for PC players - they had to offset the highest dmg/mag & 1a sDPS.
I definitely recommend pairing an AK with a Rifle or MMR to handle any longer engagements. Specific weapon or talent depends on the rest of your loadout.
It is worth having 1 or 2 attribute weapon handling on the gears with AK-MOriginally Posted by CategoryTheory Go to original post
That's how my 'Manic' handles (the second example), and it's my go to AR.Originally Posted by Imagine_Brata Go to original post![]()
