How do auto weapons really compare ?

(jazevec) #1

Shotguns are easy to compare - there’s a simple scale where you trade range for less power.

But SMGs are for most part nearly indistinguishable. What are the practical differences between all SMGs and assault rifles ? Don’t list stuff like “Hochfir has 25 more rounds than Blishlok”, that’s a lie because blishlok bullets hit the hardest.

Hochfir is weaker, but more accurate and has more range.

KEK-10 is supposedly very good, but has shorter range. What makes it good ? Going by DPS it doesn’t seem that great, 128 KEK, 125 Blishlok and SMG-9.

SMG-9 is supposedly a poor weapon. Is this by design ? What are the shortcomings ?

Fragger’s LMG has above average damage and clip size, but slow reload.

M4 ? Crotzni ? Timik ?

How do machine pistols compare to primary weapons overall ?

Also is there some text file where I can read numerical values, especially after a patch ?

I believe Syku keeps an updated spreadsheet on the nexon forums.

Kek is good cause it has everything going for it. There is simply nothing weak about it.

Crotzni has highest DPS but less accuracy.

SMG9 and Hochfir are more accurate but less DPS.

Fragger’s LMG is powerful but gets inaccurate quickly.

M4 is the KEK of rifles.

Timik is the crotzni of rifles.

Machine pistols do ~hochfir amount of damage, with poor accuracy and poor range

In terms of raw DPS most of the automatic guns are within a range where it doesn’t matter for the most part, the main differences lie in single bullet damage and damage fall off ranges.
Here’s the stat sheet: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1yYDiX77THpjA-hImu2eRLio-ayOvGnDEeorZgHAieVQ/edit#gid=490808091

what is meant by “max range” and “min range”? falloff dmg starts at min, and finishes at max?

Yep just like you said.

I don’t own it but it’s always been a public doc so I don’t see why not.
