    Works perfectly fine on Heroic even with 1.3 million Armour.

    When 100% of every bullet/mag you fire hits, you don't waste ammo and with my dodgy old hands thats a big plus.

    Yeah i might get a few more and go for the Rock n Roll next.


    Mind you one bonus from last night i picked up a Hollow man mask, and with an empty DZ i got it out.

    Only 6% higher damage per bullet. But Railsplitter is a laser beam (with it's talent).
    I can never decide whether to stick to Famas or Ctar21

    Famas has higher vertical recoil pattern when shooting wall in gun range compared to Ctar21

    But Ctar21 has better damage drop off from 35m. Famas damage drops from 28m.

    Famas has higher damage within close range.

    Both have Damage to out of cover rolled on them but was thinking of changing it on Famas to Optimal range. As I prefer to not play close.

    Both have similar bullet spread (accuracy/bloom)

    Change scope to Acog scope (+20% optimal range)

    FAMAS is the better of the 2, try using a FAMAS with a 3 piece Striker gear, becomes very stable and the RPM becomes 1035. Is my favorite AR, next to the Eagle Bearer and Bighorn with a 3 piece (or 4 piece) Striker gear!

    This is multiplicative damage increase, since it's the BASE value.
    With the same success you could take ACR-E and be happy, lol

    The only laser beam in the game is Famas, everything else is trash. Even EB with his increased accuracy ain't close to Famas.

    Nice grab with the Hollow Man Mask!
    I would pickup the Virginian for my stash, but I am holding onto my coins for the Apartment... it if comes up. I think that the Virginian is part of the current Season 5 reward track.

    FAMAS with three piece Stiker is a lot of fun. For fun, I paired the Big Horn, three piece Striker, and three piece True Patriot for the increased mag. Would need to roll weapon damage onto the TP pieces, but the increased magazine and rate of fire make for a good time. This works with the Capacitor, too. Just for fun, mind. Not viable in anything over challenging.

    You want to give the Merciless a go with 3 piece strikers, 1 foxes prayer 1 chest with Braced and a back pack with Vigilance i use this set up on Heroic, (i do have 1.2 mil armour.

    The merciless will have a 460 RPM and it's a laser beam (you can't miss with it) and at a good distance.

    It's still weak.
    And explosion part does not scale with Explosive damage unfortunately.
