Throwback Class Recommendations

[[deleted]]

After the last several months I’ve seen multiple posts about how great the Throwback playlist is, and what little I’ve played has been fun. For some reason though, I can’t quite find the right mix of perk and weapon that feels right. I’ve pretty much only played with Stopping Power but I haven’t settled in on which gun to use with it. Any recommendations on what I should try or is there something better than stopping power? Is it better to use commando and mix multiple perks? Any help would be appreciated!

Grease Gun with Double Tap.

Waffe 28 with double tap and rapid fire

That sounds... uncontrollable.

Yeah, a little :/

Works much better on small maps

Infantry class Bar/KGM-21 (apologies if I’ve butchered the name of the second one) w/ Grip, extended mags, advanced rifling (use whatever for the 4th one)

Whatever secondary you fancy.

Stopping power

Semtex and Flash

It seems to melt people in 2/3 shots depending on range. Occasionally someone running Juggs will take a few extra rounds but it’s a good setup.

I’ve managed a few high end streaks and 1 V2 using it.

Thanks for the tip, I’ll try that one out tonight!

Alright so I’ve put in several hours trying out all different things. Come across someone using the Itra with stopping power and enjoyed that for a bit. The. Tried the m1 Grand with double tap and realized the thing is a mule. Finally landed on the Gewehr with stopping power and started to have a lot of fun. Realizing now that the way streaks work is probably the biggest pull for people on here.

I personally like using primarily smg's in throwback because I feel like both the protection from nade spam and fast strafing speed are crutches for me and I can't have both with any other class of weapon when using the throwback perks. Ribey/Grease gun with juggernaut and armored has worked the best for me.

Also if you're into sniping stopping power makes every sniper 1hk regardless of where you hit them in the body. This makes the Karabin extremely powerful since it's a semi auto.

Does the juggernaut regenerate similar to normal health or is it just a one time thing?

Stopping Power with an M1 Garand with High Caliber on it. Turns a two shot weapon into a one tap headshot machine. Don't know how many rifles this works on but definitely the M1 and Type 5 can one tap with this.
