Why does the tactical assault rifle look so hideous?

[POCKET951]

how do assault rifle players use the tactical AR over the Ak47? the stats are better but the white tape on the handguard and the canned silencer with white tape just make the gun unusable for me because I can't stand the looks of it visually.

The Ak47s silencer isn't the prettiest but it is a far more pleasant and beautiful gun to look at.

I also find it weird that the tier2 weapon looks more scrappier and junkier than the tier1 version. visually its a tier 0.5 weapon even though it performs and has stats of a T2.

the red dot sight on the tactial assault rifle just feels really useless because it puts a dot between the iron sights

I also don't really like going from the Ak47 to the M60 because the M60 just stylistically plays so differently than the other assault rifles because of its long reload time and its huge magazine. it also doesn't seem really well designed for precision aiming like the other AR's

 

I am fine with how every other weapon in the game looks and feels though.

maybe the solution is to make the Ak47 scrappier looking? but then I just wouldn't use assaults rifles at all 😅

what are the odds we have weapon skins on steam when workshop support is enabled for the game?

There is a bunch of mods that add weapons to the game. I am pretty sure you will find some that you like.

 

I for one don´t give a single flying fish about how weapons look. They are a tool. They don´t need to please my taste, they need to kill zombies.

I can mod the TAR for sniping, breaching, and/or general use.   The AK-47 is not as versatile as the TAR when similarly modded for specific tasks.

I prefer the tactical rifle because it is more precise. I also like the iron sight picture better. And the sound of it. You can adapt it into almost anything - sniper, machine gun, sharp shooter, close quarters... because it's already got good stats to work with. The M60 I don't like because it looks so junked up, and if you put the tactical sight on it it catches and reflects various light sources at night, especially during blood moons, meaning I can barely see a thing at times and just need to go iron sights or the zoom scopes.

Since when game developers know how to design real life guns ?  Maybe in a combat simulator ... even then the gun are off and the loading animations are often off.  I often laugh at Starfield guns to be the worse with the case ejection are completely backwards and left handed guns ...

I prefer my tactical sharp stick.

I use the AK over the Tac. I don't like the stuttery way the Tac fires, I don't like the way it sounds, though I never consider its appearance. 

 

Once I get the M60, I don't use either one.
