Why does the Reaper DMR seem to perform so significantly worse than the AC-X11? I swapped from TR to NC because I am absolutely tired of playing Heavy and I like NCs Carbines a helluva a lot. But the Reaper and ACX11 seem extremely similar yet, perform almost opposite of each other in my hands? Any enlightenment for this newly reformed Tyrant?
Except for marginally better hipfire, there's basically no stat where the AC-X11 is better than the Reaper. I think you're probably just more comfortable using the AC-X11 with jump jets. Try using the AC-X11 as an engineer for a little while, and compare that to your Reaper experience.
That's because of its recoil, right? On paper seems quite the same, but on hand feels way different. Tho remember that the Reaper DMR has better damage drop and way better muzzle vel, so i guess it's a tradeoff.
