Xacebop Posted December 2, 2015 Share Posted December 2, 2015 What are your primary weapons? I've been using the pharo and kn44. The vmp and other smgs just spray all over the place for me over 15m so I only use them on smaller maps. About to unlock the sheiva I see some people who use it just wreck with it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
poseidon Posted December 2, 2015 Share Posted December 2, 2015 Pharo with quickdraw, grip and rapid fire. XR2 with elo, long barrel and quickdraw and 48 dredge with quickdraw are my goto classes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dillinger Posted December 4, 2015 Share Posted December 4, 2015 I've been using them all in the AR and SMG category to find my favorites. The Kuda is a great little gun, and if you get grip and stock, it's a perfectly good run and gun weapon. I no longer run foregrip on it and run stock instead (all smg's actually). Vesper is a great SMG for close range gunfights as it just sprays a swarm of bullets and kills by "close misses". It's just a Pandora's Box of bullets that seemingly cause damage by being grouped together NEAR the target. HVK-30: I maxed this out during the first double XP weekend, so it's all ranked up with a Kill Counter and is my "Oh yeah, time for payback" AR. ICR: Accurate but seems to fire slow and doesn't do great damage. I am grinding this gun in the hopes that rapid fire will change my view, but it's not a great choice. M8a7: Equip it with an Elo, stock and foregrip and this thing is a laser beam. On Stronghold, overlooking 'B' Dom, if I get posted up on either side of 'B' with that gun and my aim is on, it's a blood thirsty medal for me almost every time. That gun just RAPES, but as you unlock it at level 55, and prestige at the end of it, I only have about a dozen games with it. I mostly search for it on the ground when I am playing AR heavy maps as the MLG wannabe's ALL run it. If you don't have it yet, just wait until you can pick one up and give it a whirl. Don't rush with it, just play the lanes and watch for targets of opportunity. 1 or 2 bursts takes down just about everyone on the battlefield. Launchers: If you aren't running one, even with Ghost, you are missing out on free points and allowing the opposing team to spam your teammates to death. Even if you are 12-0, but your teammates are dropping like flies, guess who is going to get a scorestreak dropped on his head real soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

toby jugs Posted December 6, 2015 Share Posted December 6, 2015 m8 with elo and longbarrel , the barrel effectively doubles the one burst range out past 70m making it a very naughty weapon indeed. sheiva with elo ,long barrel and high calibre(high calibre gives it a pretty decent 1 hit to the head range). beast on maps with long sight lines eg hunted (stay out of the buildings for best results) sheiva is my best k/d weapon so obviously suits my mid to long range play style. drakon, if you have this to level 10 so you've got an elo , you might wanna try this instead of a sheiva, add ballistic cpu for minimal sway, and fmj for wall banging and help with head gltchers .this thing rocks, it drops those pesky uavs quicktime aswell so you can take an L-car 9 for close range instead of using a slot on a launcher.

Dillinger Posted December 6, 2015 Share Posted December 6, 2015 ICR update. Maxed it out and even ran a 4 attachment class with long barrel, stock, fore grip and rapid fire, with the ELO sight.Meh.I want to like this gun, but it's really inconsistent at range and it seems to fire too slow unless you run rapid fire. At mid ranges, it's pretty good. Up close you need head shots and at distance you need some Hit Detection help for regular kills and not a +25 or +50 assist score.I'd avoid it.Gonna try to bring and unlock the Shieva today so I can work up a class for secretface.More to follow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UK_Wildcats_Fans Posted December 7, 2015 Share Posted December 7, 2015 My favorites: SMG - Vesper melts but you need ext and/or fast mags with it. VMP is awesome too with a bigger mag. AR - Long barrel doubles the range on all ARs, so I use it on all ARs. I played with them all but found that I always go back to the M8A7. LMG - Friends swear by the BMR, but I found that I have the best success with the Dredge Launcher - As Dillinger stated, free points. Last night I got into a game where the enemy teams were CONSTANTLY running UAVs, counter UAVs, Wraiths, etc. I spent almost the entire game shooting down their stuff. BTW - Scavenger works on launchers too, thankfully. I was able to roll my streaks 3 times in that game from just shooting down their streaks. Because I was constantly shooting down their stuff, I had low kills (15-2?) but was the top of the leader board that game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dillinger Posted December 7, 2015 Share Posted December 7, 2015 Got the ICR with rapid fire and the long barrel that has become the rage lately in pubs. I honestly can't say that weapon is a great choice. Even with the rapid fire and the long barrel, I didn't get the sense of control over the landscape that I have with the M8a7, my HVK, or the KN model. I watched some of the pro-qualifier this weekend and the class set ups were ALL OVER the board. I suspect everyone is finding those one or two OP items in combination that works for their play style. Everyone is using the Pharoh in OBJ games because it's a 4-burst gun, but I honestly find it annoyingly random. This time it's a one burst kill, the next guy seems to need (4) mags to kill him. I ran it for about 7 levels of upgrade to unlock a couple of attachments and I just don't love this gun. Maybe it's me... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Newnsy Posted December 8, 2015 Share Posted December 8, 2015 I have got diamond on SMG , Assult and LMG and currently working on snipers and Shot guns. I have not played with any weapon too long but i can certaintly tell you which were easy to get gold. VMP with a grip is an absolute beast, and if you tap fire it Battlefield style it is absolutly fine. M8A7 just melts people if you are in a good lobby, if not can take a few busts by which time your dead. Except the Gorgon IMO every LMG is absolutely beast and these were the easiest to get Gold. Snipers absolutely suck Ass and shot guns are very hit and miss Angus being my fav Haymaker just seems to tickle poeple Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UK_Wildcats_Fans Posted December 8, 2015 Share Posted December 8, 2015 tried the M8A7 last night. I thought this was a one burst kill? I got some people with 3 bursts last night and they still didn't go down. Maybe I lag how does this gun work for you? Without long barrel, it is often a 2 burst kill. It could be a 3 burst kill depending on the lag. With long barrel, I tend to kill in 1-2 bursts. I always assume that it is going to be at least two bursts, so I am always ready for a 2nd (or 3rd) burst depending on the lag. Often, I just double burst to be certain.

Dillinger Posted December 9, 2015 Share Posted December 9, 2015 The M8a7 is a one burst gun when tearing someone off a head-glitch or when used overlooking something like 'B' Dom on a map like Havoc or Stronghold. If you are moving about the map, I have found (2) bursts will most of the time do the job, but my AR shot is pretty good and I don't spray and pray with a burst weapon. As with everything, YMMV.

Xacebop Posted December 9, 2015 Author Share Posted December 9, 2015 You guys were right about the Sheiva that thing is godly. Finally unlocked the m8, have been very disappointed thus far, 2-3 bursts and people survive but I always seem to get killed by it in one. Long barrel must be mandatory on this thing. I want to like it and in fact because of the hype alone it was gonna be my first choice for prestige, still fiddling around to see what I'm gonna do about prestiging. Anyways I've found a lot of guns I was getting frustrated with ie vmp vesper hvk and icr really are the best choices for hc modes. The kuda however, while some people swear by it has been the most frustrating gun for me, even in hc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UK_Wildcats_Fans Posted December 9, 2015 Share Posted December 9, 2015 Yes, long barrel is needed for the M8A7 to help ensure 1 bursts. Saw an interesting Drift0r video that suppressor on snipers do not reduce damage, as they did in previous BO games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dillinger Posted December 9, 2015 Share Posted December 9, 2015 Man that is interesting. I love the Kuda. That thing just puts in work for me, especially on Aquarium, Breach, Metro and Exodus. I wasn't running the long barrel on the M8a7, but it was in the first week and I know it's been worked since that time. I grabbed one off the ground last night during game play and got like one kill with it before getting snuffed. I didn't notice it being much different, but the reports here seem to suggest I was getting some good hit detection with it as I was dropping people with 1 or 2 bursts on the regular in OBJ games. I don't know if I have run it on the reg in some KC or TDM games, but when I unlock it, I will. Shieva: I told secretface I would work on a class for him and I have tried. I really hate this gun. I haven't unlocked rapid fire, but I do really dislike the second shot. It seems to miss more than it hits because of what I suspect is supposed to be the recoil. Seems my second shot is always off and results in me starting to get tagged up or flat out killed. I haven't had much success with this weapon, but running it on Fringe with Stock, foregrip and Scavenger, I was able to go 20-4 with some care package love. I just don't know about this gun and suspect this is an MLG special as a viable option for their Protect/Ban system they finally put in place.

Xacebop Posted December 9, 2015 Author Share Posted December 9, 2015 The secret to the shieva, don't miss. Especially your first shot. If you miss your first shot you're like 10 times more likely to die And I know everyone loves the kuda and I want to like it. I hs some guy in he before he vespers me and I'm just like f this gun, true story Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
