^.- thinking of. Hailstorm battlerifle, ( yeah xD) have striker dual bursters ex mag dual fractures dual pounders (lol) 1mercy 1 cyc (never play ai max so) maxed medic skyguard blackjack <3 TMG 2brick c4 noob tube AV turret <3 (so balanced)
Hailstorm hands down if those are the options. Battlerifle got a very small buff but they were still bad and with the nerf to 6x scopes they are back to useless. You could also keep the certs and actually get like 2.5k so you can max out the new MAX abilities. Lockdown will be amazing and will change the way you play with your max.
I was in your position thinking "the battle rifle looks like so much fun to play with )))". It isn't, it sucks.
if you are constantly being killed by T9 CARVs than you may as well give up because even pointy sticks would be OP against you
Well, since you maxed out Medic stuff and are considering a Battle Rifle, I suggest getting the SABR-13 Assault Rifle instead for something long range. The recent buff has made it an incredible weapon but not many TR know that it's pretty much like a rapid fire AMR-66 battle rifle now because there was a stigma with how much the SABR-13 sucked before the buff. The only downside is that it eats through ammo like no tomorrow. Hailstorm has the best bang for buck though since 5/6 classes can use it if you're tight on certs.
I've used the CARV myself on my TR build, but this is not a TR self-loathing thread. Many TR use the CARV because likely they haven't bought a new weapon yet in much the same way as many NC will use the SAW for the same reason. The Hailstorm on the other hand is a bought weapon, increasingly many people use it throughout all classes, and it is very effective. Possibly the most effective infantry weapon in practice the TR has.
To be honest, it's not too hard to kill people with the CARV, when you're burst firing at about ~15m to ~50m. It's just very mediocre at the ranges it's best at and a pile of **** that will get you killed everywhere else. At the ranges it's good for however, I really like it as a weapon, but that's probably down to loyalty to my guns, as I get frustrated by it a helluva lot.
Anyways, yeah, hailstorm. You know what I've been thinking of getting though? The Trac-5 B. I've got over 2k kills with my Trac now and feel like a change, and while I was messing around in VR I felt like the Burst was actually pretty good.
the difference is that for the Infiltrator class the 2 SMGs are the ONLY decent weapons for shorter ranges so anyone who wishes to really do more than play Inf as a sniper will need one... that is why so many people are grabbing them... with any other class you have a much wider range of option so naturally you will see a specific weapon less... also the fact they are able to be used on every infantry class except MAX and cost the same as the other weapons which can be used on only 1 or 2 making them a very good deal to purchase and increases how often you see them.. it really isn't any surprise that you see them a lot regardless of how good they are
Instead of a Battle Rifle, hands down, the TSAR-42 is not only cheaper but complete ownage if you can aim. A 1 (head) or 2 shot kill bolt action with Reflex x1 x2 and 4x scope. Amazing for an Infiltrator who has infiltrated. Also IMO, Armistice is better than the Hailstorm despite having fewer bullets. But if you must choose between the 2, Hailstorm, BRs still suck.
