    What is your Favourite Weapons and attachments?

    Mine personally, for all round use is the G36C foregrip , Heavy barrel and reflex sights for me

    Close quarters for me is the MP7 Extened mags + silencer, its a beast ;)

    I don't snipe much, but when I do I use M98B 12x with Bipod.

    Holos on everything.

    In the middle of unlocking everything for everything.

    Yeah, I try to do that too, but it's very hard as some weapons just overpower others , which leads to frustration :p

    the thing that annoys me about unlocking attachments is putting up with the crappy iron sights on most guns until a decent scope is unlocked.

    Favourite weapon at the moment is the Saiga-12K with extended mags.... doesn't need anything else

    Hardly worth the hassle anymore since the Famas was nerfed in the last update.

    Famas is still godlike on close quarters like Grand Bazaar or Metro, recoil is crazy bad but put a flash supressor and foregrip on it to help and you can go toe to toe with anyone.


  • Registered Users Posts: 170 ✭✭conor360


    Yeah I use the famas rarely as since when did it only have 26 bullets per mag?

    always thought it was 30 :confused:


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,169 ✭✭✭Zomg Okay

    It's 25 after the patch. The 26th is your tactical reload round, same as your 31st in other mags.

    I always thought of it as my reward for not using a whole mag to kill someone :D


    This week I 'ave been mostly using:

    SKS with ironsights, flash and sometimes foregrip

    G53 with holo, foregrip and laser

    P90 holo, laser & flash

    Thats the tidy american holo not the suckey giant yoke.


  • Registered Users Posts: 8,279 ✭✭✭Glico Man


    My most recent guns + attachments:

    AK-74M - iron sights, under-barrel rail, heavy barrel

    G3 - holo, bi-pod, heavy barrel

    QBZ-95B - iron sights, laser sight

    MG36 - holo, laser sight

    AK74U with M26 Dart


  • Registered Users Posts: 231 ✭✭mick-fitz8585


    M26 Mass/Dart is a joke, ruining most infantry based servers its a real pity EA/Dice haven't patched it yet.

    How it still requires skill. I hate this arguement of oh that gun is overpowered only **** players use it. It''s available to everyone

    You are aware that there is an easily doable glitch with the DART that makes it pretty much a Kill button? There is no skill in that.


  • Registered Users Posts: 231 ✭✭mick-fitz8585


    It takes minimal skill if any at all.


  • Registered Users Posts: 2,106 ✭✭✭SpannerMonkey

    yup thats why i love it :p


  • Registered Users Posts: 14,163 ✭✭✭✭danniemcq


    I gotta admit i do love the PKP at the moment.

    I nearly always play as support and try to give shouts to squad/team about where i'm gonna suppress, most of the time its ignored but sometimes it works really well.

    ATM its PKP with holo sight, bipod and extended mag. I use extra suppression as my "bonus" too. depending on the map i switch between the mortors, claymores and very rarely the c4 although after a few crazy moments v tanks over the weekend (leaping out of a building to land on top of a tank) i'm starting to see the joy it can bring!


  • Registered Users Posts: 11,906 ✭✭✭✭PhlegmyMoses


    There is not much better in the game than getting those 3 bits of C4 onto the tank and clicking when a safe distance away. There is also nothing worse than getting the three bits on and then getting shot just as you click.

    My favourite weapon is the AEK with iron sights, foregrip and heavy barrel for Assault.

    A-91 with holo for engineer.

    M249 with holo, bipod, foregrip for support.

    Recon, meh.

    Oh my friend, you are in for a treat. C4 can bring so much happiness when a good plan comes together. Team up with 2 other guys, have one distract the tank by taking pot shots at it while the other you and the other guy drive your C4-laden jeeps at the tank from both sides and leap out at the last second... total destruction :D

    Nothing is better than jihad jeeps... well, a jihad helicopter is equally as awesome :)

    Once you combine C4 with the power of the magnum, you'll be trolling tank drivers until the end of time


  • Registered Users Posts: 8,279 ✭✭✭Glico Man

    I feel the very same way. The only recon gun I have with over 15 kills is the SKS (118 kills), and that is because its a semi-auto and allows me to be ultra aggressive. I use it with a suppressor, RDS and a foregrip.

    I dislike sitting, waiting for someone to hopefully pop their head up, which is bizarre as I quite liked that aspect in BC2. Now I just use PDWs and semi-auto sniper rifles as I can get right into the action.

    M4 with IR scope, Foregrip and flash suppressor

    M240B, Iron sights, Bipod and Extended Mags (serious damage especially on metro)

    M98B X12 scope/ SV98 x4 scope, supressor and laser sight (for on the move)

    hah yeah its quickly catching up on managing to disable a tank with a mortor and seeing the wee triangle running in to repair before the next one drops destroying the tank, the occupents and sometimes the guy trying to repair!

    Have the house to myself with the GF away for the rest of the week so should get a good run with the C4 and see what happens!

    5. So a gun that has just a suppressor and a sight has better aimed accuracy than one with a foregrip & suppressor?
    (Asked by @KILLAnthonyMan)
    Alan answers: “The short answer is Yes. The long answer is Yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeesssssssssssssss. The explanation though, is more interesting. A foregrip carries a small aimed accuracy penalty, if you’re trying to get the best absolute accuracy you can with the weapon, a suppressor will give you better aimed accuracy. However, combining the Suppressor and the Foregrip will give the weapon the same accuracy as if you had no accessories, while also reducing recoil. It’s my recommendation that you only forgo a foregrip (see what I did there?) if you demand the absolute best accuracy you can obtain. Generally, inside 100m a weapon with a foregrip is still plenty accurate to hit consistently on target, and it will be easier to control.”
    That’s it for now! We hope you enjoyed this Q&A session. Once again, if you want similar questions answered right here on the blog, ask them below in the comments section. See you in the next episode of “Inside DICE”.
