So I recently got a nice silver Vassili from a normal case (something that almost never happens). I already have a gold one but that one has the FEL-IX and well… that gun is poop. This one has the MOA which is much better. But it also has the S&W. So I was wondering what you guys thought about Vassili with the S&W.
Soooo... Vassili with a revolver?
Trash 
My fav is the mo11 shielded sniper (I believe that’s the name) which has the exact same guns as the stock card
That gun is okay. It’s just not a good combination with a sniper rifle. You’ll basically just be Redeye but even more vulnerable.
MO93 is a decent card because of Focus and Unshakeable. Most prefer the MO11 though.
@HonourBound I feel you might have something to add to this discussion.
i curremtly own the MO11 shielded sniper and the MO93 and i prefer the MO11. But if my card with mp400 or tolen would have the FEL-IX or the PDP-70 i would use the MO93 regardless of the secondary.
My Vasilli Moa + S&W cobalt card has been used a lot by me. is the S&W better than the mp400 and tolen? hell no.
It’s more for getting a quick finish after tagging an aura / low hp merc at long range after a body shot, which to be honest i prefer just headshotting or just rebolting and firing again, ammo isnt a problem.
Otherwise in cqc you resort to mashing your S&W bullets until its empty and you’ve hit none :neutral: then you resort to being a flying cricket bat.
I’ve used the mp400 and tolen as vasilli and the S&W is just a direct downgrade, you’re best off long and short range using the machine pistols because its way easier to get a few headshots with them.
If you play vasilli to never encounter cqc and just cover corners from afar and stay far from battle, then I guess it would be more applicable than a tolen and mp400 to get a finishing kill (but that’s long range as in 1 side to the other on trainyard 1st stage)
But then again there’s always terrible cards for all mercs, guess getting a S&W is just a short straw
I wouldnt recommend it for new players, but maybe a more experienced player has some tactics with it? (apart from staying far away 24/7)
The machine pistols function almost like a less powerful SMG, so they typically work better for Vasilli’s role.
As others have said it’s simply better to have a machine pistol with Vassili. A lot of your kills will be finishes with that weapon and it’s also not a bad weapon to push with. I wish RedEye also had access to machine pistols. But he makes up for it in the Dreiss and the Grandeur in the ability to hipfire those weapons effectively in CQC so it make sense that he only has pistols.
