Default Tar-21 Or ACR?

I searched for this and could not find a thread!


Just wondering if I should use a Tar Or ACR (Both w/ Stopping Power or Cold Blooded)

I used to Tar until I Prestiged, but I have been watching people with the ACR and it looks pretty good.

What do you guys think. Please Help!

Thanks.

Depends on your playstyle. Tar is better for rushing but the ACR rapesface at a med-long range due to its insane accuracy - it gave me the easiest 1000 headshots evar.

Tar > ACR

I find that the ACR burns ammo especially w/o SP and the Tar is just too versatile. ACR with SP is a decent alternative due to the complete lack of recoil.

No recoil on the ACR. So it is excellent at sniping fools across the map. But I'm pretty sure the TAR is better than the ACR in every other aspect.

Recoil on the Tar is easily managable. You shouldn't miss at long range really. Just single fire and you're sweet.

Go to 1.30 and you will see that the tars recoil isn't a problem. It becomes even easier on console
EDIT: I never single fire

goes to show that the recoil isn't bad at all. i still like 1-2 bullet shots/bursts as sometimes I find it hard to see models on my monitor at distance and muzzle flash throws me occasionally. You're also a better player

Default Re: Tar-21 Or ACR?

The the recoil in the TAR-21 is very manageable, specially if you burst fire at range. It has better ammo efficiency due to the high DPS, can take on SMGs at close range. All round It's a lot better than the ACR, and pretty much all other ARs too.

I use ACR because you can 'snipe' the snipers,well anyway good gun. I just feel the Tar has lots of recoil(i don't know why) it depends on what you want to use...

Default Re: Tar-21 Or ACR?

The TAR requires a little more skill as it has a slight recoil rate, and it does more bullet damage. The ACR, as we all know, has no recoil at any range, but slightly less bullet damage.

Overall, if you want a nice challenge and alot of kills, go for TAR
If you want some nice fun and plenty of kills, go for ACR.

Usually i tend to go for ACR on maps i know well, and i rape. I just used it on Quarry (one of the best maps imo) and got a nice 21-5 tdm

I'd pick any gun over the Tar, honestly. I think it's cheesy. Plus, the ACR is one of my favorite ARs.

The only reason people choose to ignore the TAR is because of it's slight recoil, which really isn't a problem unless you are trying to snipe with it.

It is THE best AR.

You can outsnipe a sniper, (providing they miss the first shot/get a hitmarker) with any gun, i've done it with an MP5, Tar, P90, Mini Uzi, L86 etc. All the guns have hilariously little recoil. Countersniping with the F2K is always fun.

I agree, the TAR pwns other ARs. I normally stay away from it for that reason buuuuuuut I tried it for 1 match only yesterday on Estate.

Spawn killed 3 snipers across the map at the start & had Woodland done by half the match. Believe the hype.

the TAR is great if you want damage, the ACR is great if you want accuracy. since i play hardcore i go with the TAR because it's a 1 hit kill vs the ACR can be a 2 hit kill at range
