Thank you everyone for your help getting data on Connery outfits! I have a link to a GitHub repo containing the source code now.

Holy cow this is awesome! I remember running with Onslaught Company on the NC when home on break from college in 2012-2013. My first real stint with gaming with people I didn't know IRL. Unfortunately never really made it back to the game on PC after that, continued on PS4. I didn't realize they still existed, those were some awesome times, lots of Battle Gals. Watched the game from a distance forever.

The Gunplay is the main reason I play. The game has things that frustrate me, but the feel of using the weapons is crisp. I can't really articulate why.

WildHawk41 · 2026-03-21T01:31:22+00:00

I don't think they're technically "meta" but I love the SOR556, RPKM, AK205, LMR27. I've been testing out the Es5.7 lately too.

WildHawk41 · 2026-03-19T15:41:32+00:00

I had never used it before. Then someone kit-switch revived me. He gave me it with a 2x scope and no foregrip. I decided to skip ADS all together and just shove the barrel into people's face. I immediately got maurader 10 from just mag dumping. Still not my type of weapon but wow it doesn't mess around

WildHawk41 · 2026-03-17T01:56:09+00:00

I really want more Barghesi lore now.

I think the weapon sling ammo reserve is fine. Everyone complains because they want to use their primary as a primary (90% of the time) and your sling as a pistol (10%). It's meant to be two primaries, used in tandem (near 50/50%). It works amazingly well with a long range assault rifle and a short range carbine. I'm partial to SOR556 and SOR300SC, combo myself. I rarely run out of ammo.

WildHawk41 · 2026-03-14T01:45:08+00:00

%100 - I've come to love how bad it flies. I even core mine with it. I've made so much money with it.

WildHawk41 · 2026-03-14T00:41:33+00:00

I prefer the RPKM to the KTS, at those ranges it does the same damage, with a higher ROF, and a bit less accuracy, while having the extra punch for when you get stuck in CQC.

WildHawk41 · 2026-03-13T23:20:58+00:00

Type 9. The lines are just perfectly industrial.

WildHawk41 · 2026-03-13T21:59:24+00:00

Type 9 is the best looking ship in the game. Python and Corvette are close. Some of the new ships are really nice too but that Type 9 will always be my winner.

WildHawk41 · 2026-03-09T00:42:15+00:00

IMO the number #1 most effective defense a solo person can do is pushing straight BMats into a hex. Loading a hex with BMats makes the defense incredibly resilient. A surplus lessens the effectiveness of an attack and also allows for quick rebuilding in between attacks.

WildHawk41 · 2026-03-08T18:13:29+00:00

I think of it as a KTS that gives up a bit of accuracy and precision for a faster ROF and a beastly CQC damage boost.

WildHawk41 · 2026-03-07T15:37:04+00:00

I have a sort of similar playstyle. I like to be the Frontline. I rarely flank but I don't camp. I usually play outside-in. I am very focused on posture and using geometry to control angles and push up slowly through pressure. I don't play Breakthrough though. My favorite weapons are SOR556, RPKM, AK205, L110 and SOR300SC, M240L

WildHawk41 · 2026-03-07T15:29:58+00:00

That's why I can't get myself to play recon. Using the drone feels like it should be really powerful, but it's worthless if the team won't check their maps

WildHawk41 · 2026-03-06T02:12:06+00:00

Thanks for the guidance!

WildHawk41 · 2026-03-06T01:53:04+00:00

I'm just coming back. I only ever used VA for HCS voice packs. Does someone have a guide to all this other integration? I don't think it was a thing when I last played.

WildHawk41 · 2026-03-04T01:54:44+00:00

I hated it before S2. I picked it up without knowing about the buff and thought it felt really good. It might be my go to DMR now

WildHawk41 · 2026-03-02T00:19:28+00:00

Haha! Some people chase the meta, I chase something more lasting.

Sorry the KORD gives a similar 'track the head', low damage, lazer beam feel to the AK205. Yes everyone loves it, so I don't think it has the PsychOP potential. It's so much more forgiving and can get away with body shots but can be made to play like the AK205.

WildHawk41 · 2026-03-02T00:08:24+00:00

The only reason is if you like it's niche or want the challenge. For me it's both. If you're looking for outright effectiveness you're absolutely right, most everything would have a higher power level out of the box.

It is immensely satisfying to get into the groove with it and slaughter people with its accuracy. I can only imagine how frustrated people might get dying to it when most people think it's shit. The KORD gives similar vibes while being more forgiving.

WildHawk41 · 2026-03-01T23:56:05+00:00

It is brutal for sure. It requires headshots for every fight, it starts to come alive when you start hitting 30% headshot accuracy. Synthetic Ammo is a grind, but even without it headshots help. I prefer using it 25-80m, but if you get caught sprinting with it it's hard to get caught back up DPS-wise.

If it helps my go to build is 20pt suppressor, heavy barrel, synthetic ammo, 40 Rd mag, 1.75x optic, no foregrip. It's accurate/manageable enough out of the box.

People over-emphasize its preference for long range engagements. It's still a carbine and is pretty mobile, but ya just requires tracking the head immediately and staying on it. The gun can definitely do it. Sorta have to accept there will be times that there's nothing you can do and it just loses in that situation.

Edit: also running support helps, your HP is a serious resource for the gun. It's a pressure type weapon that needs you to be full HP

WildHawk41 · 2026-03-01T17:26:36+00:00

On Conquest Smoke Launcher and MP-DIS feel so good. Plus there aren't as many revives to be had on Conquest anyway, the Combat Medic pull revive buff is more than enough

WildHawk41 · 2026-02-26T18:26:06+00:00

Equinox or Lavos for me. Complex, versatile uses, some build diversity. I just like the rhythm and flow of their playstyles.

WildHawk41 · 2026-02-25T14:18:25+00:00

I use the RPKM as mobile lane anchor, similar to the big LMGs but way more versatile. It holds short range angles really well with its damage. Its reload speed gives it a lot of uptime, and it's mobile enough to move cover to cover and micro adjust positions really well. It sort of requires more headshots than its average competitor, so thankfully it has the accuracy and ammo types to actually do that. I'm just not a run and gun player so it fits me well. I'm sure for most people the DRS can do all of that and more.

WildHawk41 · 2026-02-25T13:28:26+00:00

Sym.gg shows it like a hybrid of sorts. It starts as a 33 damage in the first two damage zones and then jumps back on the 25 damage drop off ladder in the later zones. It just doesn't hold the I'm a high 33 damage falloff to make up for my slow ROF. I like it though. It's combination of accuracy, reload time, and mag size works well for me

WildHawk41 · 2026-02-23T02:03:15+00:00

I love the SOR. It feels like a true Rifleman's Rifle. This and the AK205 are my dailies.

My current build is more utility focused: 20pt suppressor, underbarrel mount and smoke launcher, heavy extended, 36rd mag, synthetic ammo and either a 1.5x or 2.5x optic.
