Was wanting to complete some challenges for some of the mechs to get more of the rewards. But getting in close is a death sentence now (where I am at Sp-wise might be different, higher or lower). So, I want to know which assault weapon can still do decent damage at a decent-ish range?
i gave no idea about your sp power, for me at 6k and in forseable future the best assault weapon is either reavers or overdrivers. i dont know anything about vipers carbines oracles as i dont have them.. but i also dont have them because they dont look impressive on paper.. the overdrivers are harder to learn (they are very specific) and reach further but take longer to reload if you got jamned by guardian or outlaw, but reavers have short range and need to reload all the time but more or less immune to jams as reload takes only 1 second
+1 to Papa, and specifically in my experience overdrivers trump reavers in more scenarios. Both of them have the problem (at higher SPs) of being less effective against galvanic hull, but reavers suffer much worse (the 70% damage double chance). On top of that overdrivers have a better range, and with their cooling and burnout implants (and a little bit of training yourself to release the trigger before burnout) you spend very little time out of action.
