    The TAR by far my favorite gun in the game I play NC as main. I was wondering what;s the closet thing the NC has to the TAR

    Heat rounds on the Vanguard.

    You want the Carnage. The TAR with a foregrip is basically that gun.

    Carnage BR. Which in my own personal opinion is even better than the TAR :)

    The closest thing an NC can get is to press escape and make a TR character.

    More NC should use the Vanguard, because it's awesome. I don't know why more NC don't pull it.

    What? No. The little brother of Tar for NC is the GR22. Not the Carnage.

    Also, why would put a foregrip on those gun?

    Because it is mediocre at infantry farming which is the main thing people do and for good reasons.

    The foregrip on a TAR is one of the best kept secrets in the game. Go to VR, try it out, it's a surprisingly effective combination. (Edit: And I've used it extensively in live settings, so I'm not trying to pull a 'I used it for twenty minutes in the VR and I hereby appoint myself master of all knowledge pertaining to the weapon!')

    And I still love the Carnage.

    Carnage. The GR-22 is closer to the TRV.

    GR-22 have very close stats to the TAR:
    -Same ROF+ Damage tier = same DPS.
    -Same COFs.
    -10 less bullet but shorter reload.
    -Lower recoils (vertical and horizontal) to balance to 10 less bullets (combined with shorter reload).
    -Slight better first shot mutliplier.

    The TRV have no NC equivalents like the BR carnage have no TR equivalents.

    The Carnage

    Its because its absolutely terrible the first time you pull it, it can't get out of its own way, it can't turn, and the reload timer is just plain awful. So most people pull one, die horribly, and think "Well i'm not doing that again", its just by far the worst tank when its uncerted.

    GR-22. They share the same firerate.

    Try the Orion (which happens to be the -default- VS LMG) and your love for the TAR will quickly fade.

    Carnage BR with advanced foregrip and compensator. basically as close as you're going to get to any decent TR/VS weapon.

    Man I hate the TAR I dunno about you guys. Other than for close CQB... even then I prefer an SMG>
  18. Trysaeder

    Yeah, let me grab a weapon with more recoil, slower reload and lower rate of fire, all for another 10 rounds in the magazine.

    GR-22 is the closest thing to the TAR for the NC. Slightly better handling stats and comes with the advanced forward grip, but loses 10 rounds in the magazine..

    Are you foregrip people trolling?

    Valid point. Although that's acceptible for beta/early release. I would expect that by this time everyone is certed up and are trying things out instead of just playing infantry 24/7.
