Dreiss

Oh my god! So Fing good! Probably my favorite gun now. So Faking powerful!

I switched over to it after the burstfire changes before their final change. I’ve gotten so used to the damn thing I feel with it more consistent than I do with burstfires.
Even close range I just try to aim only 1 headshot and then just continoue the spam(cuz of my potato aim), it feels extremely accurate and I’ve had much success after my first few training days with it.

Eh, I was underwhelmed by the changes… to be fair the GSR buffs were so much more noticeable so I think that gun being amazing now and me using it first kind of soured my experience with the Dreiss on Redeye.

Edit: I pretty much exclusively used the Dreiss on Redeye until recently, so me being used to how it handled and seeing the changes in action didn’t impress me as much.

Went back to the driess for a match after a long time without using it. It felt great especially since my aim has improved. Now I just need a Dickens Kira card xP

The dreiss is better now but still completely inferior to the br and stark.

I can not agree with that. I feel they’re pretty on par now. Maybe it’s inferior, but if so it’s only slightly, definitely not completely. It does a 108 damage in 2 shots which kills a lot of classes. 81 for a HS followed by a body shot, which is also a kill for some classes. 3 HS and it does 162 damage which kills everyone except Rhino. Paired with that high damage is a high accuracy and fairly high rate of fire.

The BRs do more damage per bursts, but you don’t always land a full burst of HS (or even full bursts at all), and the time between the bursts are longer than the time between shots with the Dreiss. I feel it’s more reliable and less frustrating to play. Missing a burst is so much more painful than missing a single shot.

On paper the BRs might look better, but in game I feel that’s not entirely true.

It looks like the damage buff was to keep a three tap on most classes, and now only Rhino can survive a triple HS.

It’s definitely stronger now, and can help me defend from shotgun proxies getting in my face.

It most likely depends on your consistency/accuracy in landing shots. I have become proficient with the burst rifles and find them to be rather amazing. Quite a few times, per map, I’ll fire at burst at somebody and they just die instantly (which still shocks me). And that can be pretty handy in a lot of situations like peeking. I haven’t used the Dreiss in a while but I found pretty solid success with it in the past and I think I’m going to give the Dreiss a lot of time so that I can compare, at least for myself, how well it stacks up to the burst rifles.

One major issue with the dreiss is that it is affected by aimpunch more than the br making it feel alot less accurate. With the br because you are firing multiple bullets per tap your aim can be slightly off but still land 1 or 2 of the bullets making it far more forgiving than the dreiss. The br also has superior dps meaning that if you are landing your shots (with both weapons), you’re going to do far better with the br and stark.

I’m not saying the dreiss is terrible, it is definitely a fun and usable gun in pubs but once you come up against equally skilled opponents the br16 and the stark are just going to be far more rewarding.

I remember the old times of the “360 RPM Dreiss AR”.
I’ve been using it a lot and it was such a powerhouse while ADS.
It is a ok weapon now but once you get your hand on burstfire rifles you won’t have any doubts.
They’re just better.
