Barnett or Drognav?


(TheDoomSpoon) #1

I recently started a new character and im making him Operative/Medic Light Body, Im thinking of carrying a light rifle but which is best? I know the Barnett is more powerful but the Drognav is more accurate and stable, also rate of fire is slightly higher.

So which would you suggest? Barnett or Drognav?

Cheers,

As a medic, you’re gonna be in the poop a lot. A long range weapon is not the best idea. A drum magged SMG is the best choice for a skinny medic. Engies are the best with the sniper rifles as they can double buff the gun to make it a killer.

On a light, you may wanna use the Drognav so you can shoot a bit faster, which is good when you’re in a closed indoor map without many sniper advantage areas. But a double-buffed Barnett in the right hands is deadly and a great support weapon during a big gunfight. I liked using my COGA scope Barnett mostly to support my team in a battle picking off enemies from far away. It is not a great solo weapon as it is not a one shot kill on a full health target, (except light/medium heads shots on non buffed players?) But if your teammates have already popped a few rounds into an enemy during a big battle, it’s a great finishing tool.

I switched to a medium while using the Barnett so I could make it my 2ndary. Much better to have an automatic weapon as an option if things get hairy.

I love my silenced Barnett when I play Operative, with the Hockler/Belgo as my secondary to make up for the lack of fire rate. Silenced weapons are really underrated in this game.

Cool thanks for the help ill make my Op/Medic medium body with drum Galactic and a Barnett secondary with snoop-r scope.

Also by double buff do you mean weapon buff with improved weapon buff?

Yep. So, while playing this character, make sure to seek out your team Engy before setting up shop with the Barnett.

Cool I have a lvl 20 Engi im gona have a go with a double buff barnett see what its like lol.

Double buffed everything is way better. I love my Engy rocking the double buffed mossington. It’s a beast within 10yards. Still not as efficient as a Carb-9, but I don’t care, it is fun to use.

This is exactly how I feel. Every weapon in the game feels much better when it can actually kill something with a reasonable amount of lead. I’d comment on the second part, but I’m sure everyone knows my tendencies towards the Mossington by now.

When I’m medium I rather use the rokstedi to be honest. It has a faster rate of fire, only takes 1 extra shot compared to the dragnov… plus can actually kill folks semi-accurately while not ADSing.

But if I need the barnet, I’ll choose it as my primary and have a SMG as my secondary, that way I’m not screwed during down fire.
