While I can work with ADS, I often tend to overthink my shots when I slow down, or end up tromping about a bit too slowly for the class and not really exploiting the LA's maneuverability. I often end up sprinting, jetting and generally hauling *** all around the area before cranking off some shots from the hip at targets. Ideas for excellent hipfire weapons for NC? I would think baron, SMG's of course. But anything in particular come to mind?
To build off Iridar, NC has access to great SMG's. The Blitz can mow down 3 people in one magazine easy in CQC, the Cyclone is like a majestic little baby carbine that's still awesome in CQC. I'd try out both and see which you like better. NS SMG's can be very good if you're a HS machine but if you're not, I can't really recommend them over other options. GD-7F can be a monster but it's usually only good for one kill per mag and has a loooonnnnnnggggg reload.
There's nothing Carbine-like in the Cyclone. It's just a high damage per shot, lowish ROF SMG. Range, damage tiers, velocity, hipfire bloom, ADS accuracy - qualities where SMG's and carbines most differ - are all typical for an SMG.
Yes, it IS an SMG. It just feels like a carbine and an SMG had a baby, probably because of the lower ROF/higher damage model. It's kind of like a carbine in a way that the Lynx reminds some people of a big SMG or the small clip LMG's like they're big assault rifles.
Right. But I think NS-7 PDW is the weapon whose parents were probably a 750 ROF carbine and a 125 damage SMG. It inherited hipfire accuracy, mobility and ADS cone of fires from its SMG parent, and from its carbine daddy (yes, carbines are male, SMG's female ), it acquired the fewer damage tiers. Meanwhile, the genes for velocity are expressed from both parents, resulting in a velocity midway between SMG's and carbines.
