Kira with Dreiss useless?

(tulipRowboat) #1

From what I can see, the Dreiss is a mid ranged gun. Its best used not too close, but not too far. Not only is this gun hard to use because it requires consistent headshots to do well with, its also a semi auto, so you cannot spray when people get too close.

Red Eye’s kit seems to be built around using these kinds of guns, out classing Kira in fire fights. One must ask, is it a bad idea to use this gun with Kira at all?

Personally, I think the Dreiss is freakin cool. I love the way the gun sounds, the way it looks etc. I just feel like I’m pissing in the wind every time I use it with her…

I find that the best way to use the Dreiss on Kira is to use her speed to zip around the enemy and use hit and run tactics to generally annoy the crap out of the enemy. I honestly prefer the burst rifles to the Dreiss, but the penalty for missing with them is much higher than the Dreiss’. It takes a bit more finesse to use well, but the Driess greatly awards having the first shot, which is a good idea when engaging anybody as Kira.

Dreiss is way better than the burst guns. Yes even now, after the nerfs.

I know you mentioned the rifle is more Redeye’s style, but even with him I run it very aggressively in people’s faces quickly getting off shots, I imagine Kira can even do a better job of this due to her faster movement speed.

dreiss I think one of the worst primary in the game.

Dreiss is the only weapon I like for Redeye. Always on Arty and Kira, and wish it was on Fragger too.

The Dreiss works, but it’s not as good as a burst weapon in shorter engagement ranges (which are very common in DB). I wish it had its old ROF back.

For reference, I have: Every. Single. Dreiss Kira card in Silver.

Hahahaha-NO. All of Kira’s weapons require a good aim. If you’re getting close to people with a semi-auto rifle and 90 health, you’re already doing it wrong. Yeah, it ain’t the best thing for close combat, but it is what it is. You can’t expect the EMP-9 to own people in long ranges.

If we had a gun fit perfectly for all ranges, it would be unbalanced.

Well, the effective range was reduced (gladly), and people don’t seem to be sniping me from the other side of the map, as it usually was.

The problem is not Kira, it’s that the Dreiss sucks now. Playing as Kira with the old Dreiss was amazing, you could extremely effective hit and run attacks from afar and constantly relocate because of her great speed. But right now it’s basically the Blishlock of rifles, go for the BR-16 instead. B41 loadout is excellent.
