Cycler TRV
The Cycler TRV's fast rate of fire makes it extremely effective in close quarters, though that same rate of fire and high recoil limits its effectiveness at long range when firing in full-auto.

The Cycler TRV is a Terran Republic Assault Rifle. Being the predecessor of its big brother the TAR. Its high rate of fire makes it a very good weapon for close quarters combat, but has limited effectiveness in long-range engagements. An alternative to it is the TAR, which has a slight decrease in rate of fire, but better accuracy at the hip. Both rifles cost the same. The Cycler TRV, seems to fit the role of being more controllable. As it generally has less recoil than its counterpart the TAR.


TAR or TRV

Both Assault Rifles are great in close quarters. This will vary on your opinion, they cost the same and fill two types of play styles. The Cycler TRV having a higher rate of fire and slightly less recoil,  (both of the weapons have high recoil values). While the TAR  (currently)  having more mobility, better hip fire and velocity. Do note that the Cycler TRV has been downgraded twice as of patches, meaning that it doesn't fully fill the role of the TR equivalent of the Carnage AR. Even though they are still more accurate than their carbine cousins, both have mediocre ADS  (aiming down sights)  cones.
