U need his little brother in order fully get the best of this smg. As for best gun.. well, it will always be lightweight and the house.Originally Posted by Cutaway2019 Go to original post
I generally run it with the D3 set. So, just as he mentioned above, the House and LWM4. If you want a good SMG and haven't gotten lucky for a House, then use the MP5. It allows you to equip a full size scope. Why is that important? The 18.5% headshot damage really shows through. At least if you can consistently land headshots up close like that. I think most can though, at least if you have got Stability rolled into your backpack.
For me, 95% of the end game is carrying these weapons:
LWM4 - Destructive, Predatory, and Ferocious
House - Destructive, Predatory, plus the special talent of the exotic
L86 LSW - Destructive, Predatory, and Ferocious
SRS-1 or 700 Carbon Destructive, Predatory, and Brutal. Sometimes I use Prepared or Ferocious as well.
RPK-74 of the 228 gear score variety. I use this one due to higher capacity magazine for two reasons. One, I can tell visually on my skill build whether I am carrying my lower level weapon (which is needed to proc my chosen talents). Also, with that capacity, if I am being rushed between skills, that higher cap mag will make up some for the lack of firepower. Sometime though I switch to my 286 primary instead.
Those 5 aside, the rest are mostly situational such as Big Al with Lonestar. Caduceus with skill builds in a full group, etc. If I am using Alpha Bridge as a skill build (kind of fun), then I put Determined in there too since you get the free talent from the other weapon.
