    Compensator? Forward grip? Burn the heretic!

    Yeah, I wanted to reach out with it a bit more, cause in this case I just want to be able to use it in as many scenarios as possible to maximize kills, specializing it by working its strengths and using ALS *inb4icebucketchallenge* might give better K/D where I can use it, but less kills overall since it wont be as usable outside of CQC... Just isn't relevant to me since I don't really like the gun anyway, I'm not trying to "use it" so much as I just want to grind 1160 kills before I have to kill myself I mean use the MKV... plus I'm an ADS heavy player.

    That's fair, I guess. However, when grinding directives myself, I found it interesting trying out different playstyles, and it really made me appreciate our gear more.
    I used to hate shotguns and SMGs, but now that I've spent more time with them, I've really changed my views.
    I'm fond of using pump action with slugs, it really is a high-skill setup, it game me an insight on how OHKs enter the fight before opponent's skill, and it improved my headshot acquisition by a great deal.
    Full auto shotgun - while being a cheap, cheesy weapon - made me feel good about being able to have zero worries about what kind of opponent I'll run into close quarters. BR100 heavy assault? Pfft.
    I used to dislike armistice, and I thought because of its low DPM it would be a living hell to play with it. Turns out it's a very competitive weapon if you adjust your playstyle accordingly. Even NS-7 Cruczi changed my opinion about.

    So I encourage you instead of trying to turn every weapon into a bad carbine you give it a fair chance and try out different things, it very well may make you a better player in the end.

    I've definitely wanted to up my headshot game, but my frames aren't consistent enough. Never know when I'm gonna drop below what I need to maintain on a head, so I usually go for the chest... or sack, when I am fighting crouch heavy players.

    I would make a second specialist SMG build for those times where it will provide a clear benefit, but I am just so lazy about switching loadouts and such lol.

    Bro, ALS, Softpoint and 1x, no barrel for Blitz. Don't ruin a good thing, change it up by being a run and gun hipfire hero :)

    This is coming from someone who ADSes almost full time as well, it's hard to switch it up but flying into a room, mowing down three enemies in about 2 seconds and running away with the Blitz is hilarious.

    Compensator and Forward Grip on a PDW however....I can see that. Prefer ex mags and 2x though, thing's a headshot machine still.
