Riddle me this.. VOT ARs...

[bigbear2face]

With the high rate of fire and the clip size they are half decent in PVP. However, they are still vastly inferior to Grind Fraggers, Nano Fraggers, Clustershots, Heavy Scatterguns and most explosives (all of these are way to overpowered in PVP).

In PVE they are mostly worthless.

dude, if you don't have any Human AR's find me..i'll either buy you a cpl or just give ya a cpl outta my inventory lol..i hate seeing another Arker suffer. then again...i'm level like 1,064 so that could be a problem...

lol. I appreciate it. I just mainly haven't come across any new human ones or I just maxed and sold them. I don't buy any because I am cheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeap.

i use an orange VOT Blast Rifle with canoneer synergy and mods for recoil and reload....great for my current playstyle and ego build but im waiting on that orange AR thats not Blast or Mazu to fill another loadout.

aesthetically i prefer the VOT and Mazu but they arent the best for arkfalls or co-op bosses IMO

I love my epic VOT AR i got it when i was ego 84 and it still kicks ***.

I told RLStroud this last night "Dude, tell me to not buy any new ARs i have 4 waiting in the wings." 3 minutes later "Dude, i just bought 2 new ARs, couldn't pass them up." "Hey Grit, i was supposed to tell you to not buy any new ARs tonight...."

Lol that was funny. I think I was trying to climb on top of Top Notch toolworks at that point, but I can't remember why.

I keep my inventory 2/3 full usually. I keep a few mods on hand for various weapons in case I pick one up as well trying to keep a few LMGs waiting in the wings to make sure I keep progressing them.

Ok,

This could just be me...but does anyone use the VOT ARs?? i mean they're literally garbage.. 40 base damage? and 172 for the mazu rifles...seriously?? i can drive my runner into things backwards and do more damage.

if someone could explain to me why i should use the 40 damage base damage weapons, please do lol

They're garrrrbage

I think I got a VOT AR as my second AR and so I started using it. I did a arkfall and the best I managed with it was 500k damage, which due to glitch was not recorded on wep experience. I then did motherlode co-op and got 4 more ARs as loot.

Anyway I started gaining experience with the VOT and now I am determined to max it. But once I do I am scrapping the thing and never using them again unless I get an orange one. All the other ARs have at least 100 - 250 damage, can't remember stats off hand. I have been using the VOT for 2 days and I still haven't maxed the thing. I die way to often in instant and mission encounters because it takes ages to bring down enemies with the thing.

I will be glad when I move back to regular ARs. At the moment I am focusing on maxing ARs and combat shotguns.

I love the VoT AR's. Its all I use, while leveling AR. I maxed out SMGs.. then switched to ARs. Using the non-VOT ARs. Then I tried one. They shred enemies. If you can control the recoil and land Crits, it has the potential to out DPS the other rifles simply due to the Fire Rate. But its all preference.

And in PvP, I run an Orange VoT Blast rifle, with 2 mag buffs, plus extended mag Mod. 83 round clip. I can destroy shot gunners with it, with ease. Its all on the playstyle. I fell in love with the SMGS.. and the VOT rifles are basically the same as SMGs to me.

I use all types of AR's for leveling during PvE and most VOT AR's I've come across have nano effects so there's that and the fact that, for me at least, recoil seems less in VOT's.

Vot Blast rifles are amazing at close range hip fire. Tight cross hair, good fire rate, very manageable recoil, and decent mid-range capabilities. They are excellent at dealing with cloak shotgunners because of the fact you can gain some distance from them and still be quite effective at taking them out.
