It's very true.
I've often said that a person playing a sub-optimal build they enjoy, and are comfortable with, will perform better than someone forcing themself to play a FOTM build.
I think it's a good sign that there are both enough differences to make personal preference possible, but those differences are balanced against each other well enough to be competitive.
Yeah, the variance from strongest to weakest is only around 10% [and typically offset by WH and/or attachment options]. In practice, it makes little difference - go with whatever feels the best to your preferred strategy/range/cadence.

The HB and C7 feel the same to ME, others might naturally control the kick more easily. Used both last night @ ~55m and couldn't hit more than 6-7 shots before compensating for side-to-side movement, had to stop & reload, and start again. Went back to the G36 and it felt like home...it's the sweet spot between bDPS & sDPS.Originally Posted by CategoryTheory Go to original post
Screen grabs are a bit much for this, but I get your logical approach for the least exposure to subjectivity possible. Simple test, go to the range with the 50m target, ADS at the target and start firing with no right stick compensation. You'll see/feel the difference. The DPS is absolutely higher on the HB, and somewhat on the C7, but the G36 lands the shots more consistently and will drop an elite target ~10 bullets quicker at range. At <25m, the higher RPM rules all day long.
Here's the build, in case anyone has any ideas on increasing accuracy (or wep handling would be better!) w/o giving up any damage/DPS:
Maxed out watch
Sharpshooter spec
All gear & wep stats maxed
Coyotes w/ CHD mod
Fenris chest w/ CHC, CHD, Braced, & CHD mod
W&H holster w/ CHC & CHD
W&H pack w/ CHC, CHD, Vigilance, & CHD mod
Contractor's gloves w/ CHD
Fox's pads w/ CHD
G36 Enhanced w/ Ranger, DTTOOC, OR scope, OR muzzle, CHD grip, & +20 mag. (59% CHC & 158% CHD @ >25m)
The Apartment w/ CHD scope, CHD muzzle, CHC grip, +20 mag. (60% CHC & 193% CHD (baking in Coyotes here) @ <15m)
Kard Custom w/ Finisher (no one cares, I know)
Decoy & Shock Trap
Hitting dmg levels CONSISTENTLY of 229k & 591k crits @ 45-90m, slightly less between 25-45m, and the SMG is for anyone that wants to die in a hurry up close (including danger close chungas).
tl;dr - Subjectively, I think the G36 Enhanced is the best AR in the game for hits on target, controlability, distanced dmg dealing, and super quick kills.
I have! Given that particular build, maintaining the rest of the gear pieces & weapons, working with max stat rolls, every piece has max CHD rolled, and substituting for one or both of Contractor's and/or Fox's, I've swapped in: a Grupo piece in either slot, 2x Sokolov for both, an Improvised Holster with a Grupo for both, 1x Overlord for +accuracy, 1x Petrov for more Wep Handling. Even a CV piece, but at >25m, I'm at max CHC anyway. If I'm using my G36 inside 25m, something has gone very wrong.
Nothing exceeds the dmg numbers beyond what Contractor's and Fox's make, since they're standalone multiplicative. I think if you lowered them both to 5%, it would make other pieces more feasible. Total 18% dttooc (G36 & Fox's) and 13% dta (2-piece W&H & Contractor's) is impossible to beat, and I've tried my hardest.
I feel the same way, 2 perks are wasted on rifles & LMGs, but with the way the game is now, I can't build a better dmg output without using those pieces.
Hmmm... I will have to try it.
At this point it feels like I am hitting a wall in terms of damage inflicted... played with several combinations without a noticeable difference. Even tried 3pcs Providence.
Wondering how that build above would perform with MK17+Ranger and Sleipnir in wider ranges like Conley Island missions (most likely not very good in CQB situations).
Not actually limited to Division 2, the original term is (singular) 'Chungus', I guess over voice chat people mishead it as (plural) 'Chungas'. Googling it, apparently it's become a byword for anything 'adorably chunky', which fits the Division heavies pretty well.Originally Posted by Sircowdog1 Go to original post

That's funny. Because in the world of memelords that I often engage with, the term most commonly used for "adorably chunky" is "Chonk" or "Chonky". Which is most likely a bastardization of "Chunky". Most commonly used to reference cats, but it applies to any furry/cute animal that is overweight.Originally Posted by the_Kettle Go to original post
I wonder how it mutated into chungus...
It is literally the Average AR, from a DPS perspective - exactly 100 for bDPS & sDPS.Originally Posted by Aspoiu Go to original post
The key with all weapons, is what lets you land the most bullets. For some, it seems the G36 has the WH/Range that works best for them.
I usually reach for a Rifle or MMR when engaging >25m, so I have no idea which ARs play nicest out there [I would assume lower RPM options like the Fal & MK, but apparently the G36 might fit too].
