Strategy Guide
Strategy Guide[]
|
This section outlines a strategy. |
| Feel free to add tips, tricks and general advice about the topic. |
- The Burst Assault Rifle has a decent DPS and high accuracy for a bloom-based weapon. It can used to eliminate targets in close-to-medium ranged combat.
- The Burst Assault Rifle is very weak against structures, and it is ill-advised to use it against someone who is building cover.
- At very long distances, the Burst Assault Rifle has a higher chance of missing the second and third shot of the burst. Stick to close-to-medium-range for the best accuracy.
- The Burst Assault Rifle is not advisable to be used while hip firing, as it is very inaccurate while hip-firing.
- In the lower rarities, it's often more advisable to use another rifle that fires in a non-burst configuration, as many automatic Assault Rifles offer much higher DPS.
- However, the accuracy and quick damage burst potential gives the Burst Assault Rifle the edge in specific circumstances, such as when the enemy only peeks out for brief periods of time.
- When using the three-round burst version, you can get an opponent's structure to very low HP before firing the Burst Assault Rifle. If you're accurate, the first and second shot will destroy the structure while the third will pierce through and hit the opponent, even while turbo-building.
- This can be done with the two-round burst version as well, but it is much more difficult to pull off.
Counters[]
- Due to the low fire rate, building can be a very effective counter to any version of the Burst Assault Rifle.
- To counter the Burst Assault Rifle's long range effectiveness, close the distance and use a close range weapon like an SMG or faster firing AR.
