I thought you were talking about the drop rates from the FotL packages. Hadn't heard of the AR thing.

It's getting great reviews, even for the single player campaign. I've only played a couple of rounds myself so far but the Titanfall thread here is pretty high on it.

4 impact pulse rifles like :siren: Clever Dragon, Grasp of Malok, and The Waltz as a poverty option
7 impact pulse rifles like Hawksaw, PDX, :siren: Blind Perdition
81 impact hand cannons, if you have a Eyasluna that's great but :siren: The Palindrome is even better holy moly.

For secondaries, shotguns. Matador 64 can drop from Crucible now, and can hit 70 impact and 32 range. Snipers these days are whatever, but if you want to shut down supers it's Event Horizon, Zen Meteor, or an old Efrideet's Spear.

There's bigger better posts a few pages back but that's my take on it.

Two of the weapons he mentioned can be purchased with really good rolls from the crucible vendor now. Palindrome (HC) and Event Horizon (Sniper). If you need a shotty that is decent before banking on RNG from crucible the dead orbit vendor has one called last ditch.

I know we all discovered this way back in April but persistence really makes Unbent Tree much better. Got one with perfect balance/persistence/snapshot and all I have to do is start firing before some dork turns the corner and they're giblets. Big enough mag means I can pre-fire and still down two people with the right conditions.

Now if I could get a Matador maybe I can claw my way out of the scrublord tier full of hopping shotgun dweebs with their "I definitely wasn't carried, promise" scarab emblems.

I have one with PB and CBand it's kinda hilarious. I thought that archetype wasn't supposed to be good any more?

Persistence means losing out on counterbalance though, which I think is the better perk to have on that gun. If engagements were longer persistence might be better, but usually stuff dies right about the time persistence hits max effectiveness.

Mine has perfect balance and counterbalance and it's a laser beam.. just need a gentle downward nudge to combat the recoil.

I have trouble making it work against people with hand cannons and pulses if they're paying attention, and skating juggernaut Titans with shotguns still ruin you. It's fun when it works though.

Edit: I have a CB/small bore Arminius that I really appreciate that perk on. My aim sucks enough that the more forgiving hitbox from prefiring with the persistence gun works better sometimes.

It's definitely not "in the meta" but it's good enough to have some fun if you feel like doing something different for a while.

I think balance for average players is good right now, you can roll whatever you want and do okay. Obviously once you get into sweats that all goes out the window.

I'm pretty sure my ELO is somewhere on the low end and I'd like to bust into the higher tiers, just so I can know I did, but it's rough trying to use off-meta stuff sometimes. Do fusions still lose shots to thin air sometimes? I'm seeing more green bars than usual but I don't really trust them after having people eat a full burst head on and living.
