SMGS Overpowered

(angeliou) #1

Im not sure if it has been my own personal experience. I went against a few guys using drum mag smgs and they were absolutely just mowing us down. Even in mid range firefights I was being beaten by smgs. (yes I can aim) They seem just a bit too powerful at the moment.

Try the Dragonov/Rokstedi/Barnett rifles and the Sea Eagle/Belgo pistols, then re-think the thread.

Yeah I can empathise with this, SMG’s are supposed to be weapons to harass players with, not to outgun AR’s and heavy weapons.

Game seems to lean quite a lot to the light guy at the moment.

I understand where you are coming from but if you are going med weight you can also carry an smg with speed sling and just shoot a couple shots at them and finish em off with smg

burst fire rifles its the only way , and i think its the way assault rifles are ment to be used tbh. 1-3 bullet bursts seem to work good for me! :slight_smile:

I dont have any problems with the SMG’s tend to find health vanish’s really quickly no matter what they use. Pistols I tend to find are lethal when im using them.

By biggest anoyance with the guns are when your against Bots they are stupidly accurate with anygun more so with the shotgun it decimates me no matter how far they are or how close its like a sniper

smgs are fine , they and the Ars are pretty much the only weapons that are actually good right now…

AR are underpowered, AR loses to SMG close range, alot more recoil so not even as accurate as SMGs long range.

It’s funny i can shoot someone with a heavy weapon like the gatling gun and they killed me before i could kill them, weirdness.

not always true, depends on how you kit out an Ar and how you use it.

generally any super accurate Ar ( ie you kit it out for accuracy) will kill anything in 5 -7 shots.
but you have to do it in bursts 1 -3 bullet bursts.

if you hold down the trigger anything past shot 4 is wasted as this games recoil mechanic is on steroids.

this is even true for smgs ( though grant it smgs can fire more shots before the accuracy goes to crap)

keep in mind good Ars are basically your sniper rifles ( in fact a properly kitted Ar is better than the semi auto sniper rifle)

ARs are so powerful? A couple bursts from an AR and my light is down. SMGs are, however, powerful at close range as they should be. If you can control an AR properly, you dominate mid-long ranged battles.

which AR rifle is the best to use? got any suggestions, i wana try out these tips =]

(Shotgun Surgeon) #13

In the beginning when all I had was medium body type, I did best with Euston (Sp?) AR. Stick a COGA scope on that and you’re good to go.

(Mr3ch0) #14

I personally like the Rhett, nice clip size and good damage. Try the Rok if you are more single-shot inclined.

(Shotgun Surgeon) #15

If they were to slightly increase ROF on the FRKNR (Sp?) then that rifle would be great as a DMR-type rifle.

any gun can appear to be overpowered if used correctly

(GossamerSolid) #17

I roll with a rhett that has a drum mag and a front grip, I just burst fire at people and down them real quick.

(Jess Alon) #18

I totally waste people unfairly with the sea eagle. A couple hip shots and a knife slash and they are down.

(Bakercompany) #19

Lobster is overpowered.

I use the rhett with the underslung launcher. With the frag upgrades the soldier gets you can ruin a whole squad’s day. And you can keep launching them by using scavenge.
