ArtDeco 55 Posted April 3, 2020 Little Orbit, I urge you to take a close look particularly at the state of the ATAC, I don't know what got touched up in the last patches but an army of butt naked low rank silvers are 85ing golds in half a second and golds are going 20-5 with them in Financial District. The gun is way too accurate and tags way too fast. Lower the firerate or increase spread. My ntec/star, fired at proper firerate and burst is outspeeded by the ATAC. 6 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ArtDeco 55 Posted April 3, 2020 So you guys don't notice it then? All the other guns I go up against everything is normal and consistent but it's different when I'm up against ATACs. Maybe I'm just crazy. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

botting 5 Posted April 3, 2020 I don't have an ATAC and it's not broken. Play for your advantage and that is not standing in an open spot against an ATAC Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Gateron 267 Posted April 3, 2020 It was always a strong weapon lmao and easy to use. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
WEISSDEATH 57 Posted April 4, 2020 Its definitely strong and easy to use but not broken or OP; it takes 8 shots to kill and doesn't out range any other AR, it also lacks the accuracy one can achieve with a NTEC even if you tapfire the weapon and i'd even argue the STAR is more accurate at range then it. As for Golds going 20-5, chances are, they would of likely went 20-5 with a NTEC as well. Even if the ATAC is easy to use, Player skill still greatly affects how well it will ultimately do. 3 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ATAC loses on range but gains more in CQC to medium ranges. The reason people use the ntec a lot is the diversity in range, CQC-medium/longish ranges. You won't be stuck completely under powered unless you are in long to sniper ranges. Edited April 4, 2020 by illgot Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Little Orbit will do no such thing.. Bro you mad? When the Atac first came out it was considered OP and it got nerf... already. Its people like you why guns get nerf.. because when you learn how to use the weapon...you master it and gain a bonus by owning with it. The Atac is actually the closest to a normal weapon as other games and special in its only way just like the oca nano hold and spray. Once used the ntec properly you can outgun it, However be in the open and you are going to drop. May I add a but....every mission and environment matters in APB, so you will find that at some point you have to keep switching weapon to counter the enemy's weapon or suitable for the environment.

Inhotep 28 Posted April 4, 2020 If anything ATAC got nerfed silently not buffed, because ursus got nerfed. I noticed clearly change in recoil when going full atac, compared to previous. Anyways yea, first nerf nfas, now nerf atac, how about you nerf all weapons and leave just 10 day oca, PMG, JG, and 10 day ntec. So that you "veterans" would be finally happy. Lets make all people use those 3 weapons, because all rest is "no skill". When you are at that point you can imo simply delete all other weapons, because we dont need another nerf of a weapon that doesnt need nerf. In case you "intelligent" veterans didnt notice, after crying for nfas, is that now everybody uses PMG. Good job. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Flaws 1033 Posted April 4, 2020 ATAC is horrendously broken and needs a desperate nerf. It's range needs to go lower and the bloom needs to be increased a bit as it needs some kind of downside to spraying it recklessly. It's such a go-to gun for every noob. It completely melts people regardless of player skill, similarly to NFAS weapons, it has no place in a game such as APB. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
