Just like the UMP, this gun-the SR-2M-cannot be used without a suppressor and scope. The type of sights you install could even affect how much the whole rifle will cost. It is not as economical like UMP considering its high rate of fire plus very expensive ammunition.
That translates to a lot of punch at the endgame, making the SR-2M and 7N42 Zubilo ammunition a "meta"-status weapon for those that master it, capable to stand shoulder to shoulder in combat with other top-of-the-line expensive assault weaponry.
Assault Submachine Gun MP9-N 9Ë19
The addition of the MP9-N, another submachine gun, is not a surprise. Submachine weapons are on the list due to their constant availability and low price. The MP9-N only works well during the early to mid-wipe stage because it uses 9×19, which is a long way off until you acquire 9×19 PBP.
The accuracy is pretty great, and it of course has a high rate of fire. It also got very minimal recoil so you can handle it with ease even spraying from a distance. Irregardless, you're gonna be upgrading to an AP 6.3 and some 9×19 Pst ammunition early on in this wipe if it's available. You only need to attach a sight, so it's as cheap as any other submachine gun.
Velociraptor.300 Aklys Defense Assault Rifle
The Velociraptor.300 AR is one of the more "decent" weapons that have been added into patch 0.16. Compared to some other weapons, this comes with a suppressor on it. However, the base gun itself is significantly more costly compared to the SMGs. To mount a sight you like on any other SMG.
You can get this weapon at a decent price, between 90,000 and 110,000 Roubles. This weapon's.300 ammunition is your big selling point. Blackout CBJ or M62 Tracers both penetrate class five armor, purchased at the same level as M956A1s, M80s, 7N42s, and other "meta" ammunition.
If you compare the price of guns like 5.56 MDRs, non-meta M4A1s, and AKs, then the ammo the Velociraptor.300 AR uses is significantly better.
Fully Automatic Shotgun MP-153
MP-153 semi-automatic shotgun is the most powerful and the slowest among all guns. This gun costs 50,000 to 60,000 Roubles to craft, and attaching a suppressor will cost another 30,000 to 40,000 Roubles. The use of 12/70 cartridges allows not being afraid of running out of ammo in the very beginning, and the Flechette is in the mid-wipe, which is pretty nice for CQB.
- You will have to use a shotgun for many missions, including Setup, Punisher Part 4, and Silent Caliber.
- The two available variations of the weapon
- When you expect long engagements in Scav hunting, you will prefer to load with slugs: FTX or .50 BMG. Otherwise, try Flechette or even RIP. When using RIP, aim at the legs.
7.62×51 Assault Rifle MODR 7.62
At the tail is the MDR 7.62×51 AR. These take an extra addition of a suppressor with sights to drive the cost from $180,000 and upwards of $240,000. The starting $180,000 will just about afford a basic sight to you. These go all the way to the VUDU, Razor or even the Burris amongst others for $240 000.
Its purpose really defines the gun. You can use it for sniping with a decent scope on it. It's most suited to close-range usage due to the ammunition when set to full auto. This MDR uses M80s, M62s and M61s. BCP FMJ isn't that bad either if you use it early wipe.
Since MDR is the most powerful weapon among all in terms of ammo type, it is the easiest to craft. Foregrip is not necessary to attach because of the heavy recoil, but for more comfort and control, invest in some cheap foregrips.
