Assault rifle build kinda crazy?
« on: March 29, 2015, 07:34:50 am »
So after getting bored of test running psi since I've done psi too many times, I tried the new assault rifle build.

It is... crazy.  The thing is, assault rifle heavies were pretty good before 1.14.  Now that we've got thick skull, concentrated fire(!!!), a better full auto, juggernaut, expertise(super bursts!!!)... it's feeling quite overkill.  And I don't even have commando yet :/  I forgot to eat burgers all throughout depot A on account of just annihilating everything.

Anyways, if I can burst dreadnoughts from full health I'll let you know but... it is looking like that's gonna happen.

Concentrated builds are always strong, specialization in one area gives you superiority in this area. What else did you expect?

Sure, damage-wise other builds can get better results than assault, but assault gets heavy armor since they only really need perception.  I guess it just feels weird that assaults now have somewhat comparable damage on top of the armor, and said armor is now even better.

Assault rifle only used with heavy armor...?  Huh, I've only used it with my tactical armor, as I never really got into playing like a Can.  Enjoy my dodge/evasion and movement too much along with my 0 encumberance with nimble.

Yeah heavy armor really doesn't get any good until you start getting 90+ mech resistance.  But it's not like the beginning is hard anyways when you can craft an antithermic 15 dt tactical vest xD  Or I guess blast cloth these days...
