I would disagree a lot . Just finished gold on the EBR 800 and used it 90 % of the time in AR mode , and I play only dominion HC . First of all , even with quick draw it has much lower draw compared to other weapons , and are you really saying it ' s almost always OHK in hc ? no way . I did diamond AR and LMG so far , and playing only hardcore , and this gun is nowhere near OHK as are the other rifles . And i m prestige 5 , so I played my fair share of IW . One thing this weapons does good , is being a sniper and because of that being the less frustrating sniper rifle to get gold camo on , but otherwise I wouldn ' t play with it anymore after getting goldedit ok found out that the draw is slow because I used optics , and apparently with deafult optic is a bit faster , but anyway , AR and LMG are much better for OHK in HC
