Weapons Question

A quick addendum to all of the posts above:

If a gun isn't 1000 certs / 700 SC, seriously consider buying with certs. I save my SC for the 1000 cert guns for infantry/vehicles. This helpfully includes NS guns, which you should buy with SC when you can because all of your characters for forever get them.

The spreadsheet Calilator posted is great. Ingame feel is important, but it's more detailed than the ingame stats (and most importantly includes important stats like recoil pattern and ADS movespeed that the others don't).

I've moved over to using 0.75 ADS weapons almost exclusively and I've seen a huge uptick in survival. The only exception to this rule for me is the VX6-7, but you'll mostly be using it as a hipfire weapon with advanced laser so it's not as big of a deal.

I've been preaching SVA-88 love since it was called something else in beta, you just didn't listen

 

Remember what I did back in beta about 99% of the time?
So engi with VX6-7 was the only thing I cared about and I used my tool
a lot more than my rifle lol

Vonic also advised to check out Flare but I wasn't a big fan of it.
SVA-88 wins by a long shot. On a side note, I've even seen BCP complain about it
In a yell chat and we all know that if he bitching about a weapon that he gets killed by, it's gotta be a good weapon.

 

I guess what we saw here is the main idea in this forum and what being in a outfit is all about.
It is nothing like "i am right you are wrong noob!!"
It is like "hey, for me, what you said do not work, what solved my problem is something like this, why dont you try it?"

This is a place where we all share our experiences, learn from the other memebers, make a mix from everithing that was said, apply to our playstyle and try to become better players.

When I started playing my kdr was like .5

Then It stabilezed in kdr 1.

Now my kdr is going up and up every play session a bit.

Kdr 2, 2.05, 2.1 and it is going up.

Everyone wins

 

I'm been using a flare with extended mags and the 150 rounds is a huge benefit. Before I switched I was using the SVA-88, but I don't think I can go back. Sure you lose a bit of ttk in close range, but the benefits at medium or when up against 3+ targets are pretty staggering. It's awesome when you watch an enemy run away to reload and you have 50+ rounds remaining.

 

I don't know if I would put extra ammo on any weapon other than Serious, especially on Flare.
After you kill one or two people, you always gotta back out and wait for your shields to recharge, use a med pack and stuff like that so in the mean time, you can reload. I've never ran into ammo problems with SVA-88, plus there is always a Decimator as back up.
Commissioner comes in handy too and you can get 2-3 kills with one clip as well.
