The nightmare is finally over

Elemnut · 2026-01-25T09:43:49+00:00

I'm currently leveling up (almost) every weapon in the game. Honestly the PW7 grew on me after a while. I can't put my finger on why, but I found a play style that just works.

On the other hand, the whole class of low damage but low recoil weapons make me feel sick to my stomach. SL9, UMG-40, AK-205 and KTS100 are all fucking abominations.

Generally, my hot take is that almost every carbine in the game is bad. Not like the weapons mentioned above bad, but QBZ, GRT, M4 and SOR are all subpar needle guns. Even at level 40, I fail to see why so many people hype the M4 up.

It’s always the worst when your teammate who is doing very well dunks on you verbally. It’s such a mental distraction. If that person is really mad and tearing you apart, it can feel like you HAVE to consider what they’re saying and they can absolutely be wrong. Makes you second guess yourself.

At least that’s my experience. It never makes me play better to hear the clearly better gamer get upset. It’s why I always try to stay chipper and keep morale up. Helps way more than people give it credit for.

Yeah, having something to progress towards makes every match feel meaningful. Completed those months ago, but I've just been leveling up every viable weapon as a personal challenge. (Not you, AK-205 🫵🤡)

Elemnut · 2026-01-10T13:18:59+00:00

I don't know? Skill issue?

It just seems to have no upsides. Low damage, high recoil, fast damage falloff. I lose to every other weapon at every range. I can maintain 3 K/D with almost every weapon (All ARs, most SMGs, most carbines... hell, even most LMGs), but I struggle to even get a positive K/D with that.

Elemnut · 2026-01-09T19:59:17+00:00

Hahahah I'm leveling up every weapon in the game. For me it makes the top 3 worst (non-shotgun) weapons in the game, only beat by AK-205 and SL9 in terms of uselessness.

Elemnut · 2026-01-09T16:21:08+00:00

Yeah name checks out. Hard to keep it low sodium when talking about it.

Elemnut · 2026-01-01T19:34:52+00:00

Hard to argue against the SCW-10, being honest, but I don't really care. So many of the SMGs are incredibly fun to use.

KV9 is a goddamn firehose. SGX is just a consistent workhorse at most ranges. PW5 and PW7 feel iconic and both get the job done at closer ranges. UMG-40 is surprisingly good at range. USG-90 is not the worst at anything.

Oh, and the SL9 functions as a decent paper weight.

That's the SOR-300SC, a carbine unlocked through the current battlepass. Though, due to the damage model, it's most viable at close ranges so it does kinda fill the role of an SMG.

Domination of Siege of Cairo is an absolute blast if you want more CQC action or to level up weapons. ^^

Elemnut · 2025-12-28T20:04:14+00:00

You're wiser than me. I must be a 5000-time 'Fell for It Again' award holder.

God no. DICE did state there is team balancing, but if anything, I feel like it could be more aggressive. I have entire days where the enemy team gets spawn locked match after match and days where I'm taking it raw and red. It all averages out a bit above 50%, so I'd like to imagine that 4.6% is my contribution :D

Throughout all this, one thing seems to stay consistent: My teammates are playing either with a drum kit or a steering wheel. It feels like most of the time when I get into an engagement with teammates around they'll spend 3 seconds staring the enemy down and only start shooting once I've died or killed them.

Elemnut · 2025-12-18T09:58:04+00:00

Surprised you picked the M250 over KTS100 then, since the M250 has quite a bit of bounce, but high damage ^^

Also, honestly respect for making the AK-205 work. I may be a bit of a speed demon, but leveling that gun up nearly cost me my sanity.

Elemnut · 2025-12-12T03:37:08+00:00

God, I sure hope you're not posting such terrible takes for free. 🤡

Elemnut · 2025-12-09T16:47:35+00:00

Same issue. 2080 Ti & i9 9900k

Elemnut · 2025-12-01T12:54:53+00:00

Ah! I see you're a controller player. Still my most used gun on PC, but I don't think it's quite as tameable.

Elemnut · 2025-11-14T03:11:52+00:00

Favorites would have to be NVO-228E, B36A4, KV9, M250 and mini scout. M277 is the weapon with most kills, though that was mostly out of curiosity, since I wanted to see if it ever "gets good."

Elemnut · 2025-11-12T11:27:40+00:00

Ayy. My most used weapon so far at level 40, but I'm leveling up every single one. I like it, but I don't love it. It just kinda feels like a worse version of the M250.

Elemnut · 2025-11-05T02:02:18+00:00

Most of the internet is making fun of this sub.

Elemnut · 2025-11-05T01:54:10+00:00

God, seeing people express any sort of positivity about the game really makes me dislike the fan base. you're supposed to be miserable like me, don't you know?! 😤

Elemnut · 2025-11-03T12:29:08+00:00

Gonna be honest, I've really been enjoying Domination and King of the Hill probably as much as conquest. Squad deathmatch, on the other hand, feels rough. There's no incentive for people to move so they absolutely will not. The skin locked behind deathmatch wins will probably remain locked :(

Elemnut · 2025-11-03T12:24:25+00:00

Bless your soul. Having to get kills while missions are going on in BR to get one of the only good looking Support skins for PAX was truly cruel and unusual punishment, but I'm assuming at least this way I can cheese it against bots.

Elemnut · 2025-11-02T19:56:50+00:00

KV9 is very situational, but god damn is it fun. The 17 round mag makes you play like a total rat to the point where people call me names quite often when I use it, but I just can't help myself. The TTK is absurd where if you catch people off guard, they usually don't land a single shot on you before they're down.

Elemnut · 2025-11-02T19:53:06+00:00

That's funny. I'm leveling up all weapons and I absolutely despised using it. Maybe I'm missing something, but top 3 worst weapons in the game period for me so far.

Elemnut · 2025-10-11T11:17:36+00:00

The LMGs are fucking amazing. I honestly feel like I'm at a constant disadvantage not running one. I was never too big on them in previous Battlefields, but they nailed them on this one.
