HighSociety 148 Posted October 30, 2018 "We are also reverting the Improved Rifling change as well as reverting the LCR fire-rate buff." So it will just stay on the rusty pile of trash that i own. Are there any chances to make it usefull pls? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Onadan 14 Posted October 30, 2018 Have you considered that the weapon is viable, just not the way you're using it? 1) Use it's range to your advantage and outrange other people 2) The accuracy is top notch during sustained fire, use supression fire and not pop in pop out techniques 3) don't go solo, give cover to your teamates, take cover and don't let your enemies close in, temporise 4) don't use it close quarter unless desperate, prioritise the use of a close-ranged secondary 5) use the high damage per mag to your advantage; while lower than some other AR, it's higher than the rifles by over a thousand (which are its main competitors at this range) 6) it's good for supressing snipers when you're not outnumbered, just don't take needless risks you just need to pin them down To sum it up: use your brain, not your index. Only then it becomes a viable weapon. And if you really ``think'' the LCR is bad, I'd suggest you try the ISSR-a or ISBR lmao. But hey, I guess that "One man's trash is another man's treasure" as old guy Arlon Benjamin would say... I'd buy it from you. Granted, the locked slots kinda suck hard, I'll give you that; this restriction doesn't make sense in current meta. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Gonna be honest, I have not once in my 7 years of playing APB seen anyone use the LCR and do well. I do a hell of a lot better with the ISSR-a than the LCR due to its crazy hard damage. Whenever I see someone using it (which is rare) they always end up switching to something else halfway through the mission because they keep getting killed. It's just not a viable gun.

It is considered a version of the issr-b after all, even if it's weaker. As for the sbsr...I haven't used it so can't say anything on it Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Well you can try it out for 30 mins, or 7 days for 700 joker tickets. spoiler: it's not worth it. Granted, it's been buffed so it's not as terrible as it used to be, but even after trying it post-buff on the test servers it didn't seem anywhere near viable to me.

I just contradicted a CLAIM (ie not an argument) that it was the worst gun in the game. If you want to have an adult discussion, you're going to have to drop the hyperboles and calm your tone.

Not everyone can use every single weapon in the most optimum way ever. I'm sorry you took it the wrong way. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I would agree with you that in the current meta, it's lackluster compared to the cream of the crop weapons. However, based on my meagre personal experience, I happened to fare better with it than most weapons. Which led me to believe it was a gamestyle and affinity issue. I'd be able to form a more solid opinion if only I were able to purchase the ****ing weapon already... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CookiePuss 5378 Posted October 30, 2018 If you are a collector, go ahead a grab one when you can. If you are looking for a viable gun with range beyond that of standard rifles... just grab an ISSR-B, it is vastly superior. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

However I just prefer the LCR as a weapon for a variety of reasons. 3 minutes ago, BXNNXD said: haven’t we already had this argument already?

It has more ammo, more damage/mag, higher fire rate, no loss of accuracy during sustained fire, and I think a slower switch time? could be wrong on the last one. Granted, it has a lower TTK and less hard damage, but that's a sacrifice I'm willing to make. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That being said I guess if you like it, rock it. You should meet up with my homie @Weeb TheEpicGuyV2, he also loves using bad weapons. Its like a fetish or something.

Weeb TheEpicGuyV2 269 Posted October 30, 2018 Well tbh it had to get reverted along with the IR revert (I would have welcomed the accidentally buff lcr, dont get me wrong, even if it was for a week). It only makes sense to do so. It seems LO is learning from their mistakes of half-reverting/half-patching things (IR almost keeping its new upside with its revert or shredder still being op when shotguns got the hot patch adjustment anyone?) that or they only remembered to revert it because someone brought it up.
