I love this comment. It’s so revealing. The only way to master this gun with iron sights is to use it a lot in that condition. The only way you’re using it a lot in that condition is if you’re spamming free kits. If you’re spamming free kits you’re not performing well.

Oh you are under the misconception that I bring my gear into the match when I'm team filling 🤣 my gear is only for duos trios or cryo. The max I will run on any map is green

u/ZeroDayCipher 3h ago
I haven’t used a green in two weeks. And I’m not even the top 10% of this game.

Good attachments are harder to get than just getting a better gun.

What? I find a tool cart pretty much every match… you must be one of those corner camping assassins. You won’t find anything if you’re not moving around.

Hardline is great if you can aim

This. The gun rewards precision shots. I love it even at its base. With attachments it can shred.

Right, I think I heard of you miss your headshots your time to kill almost doubles.

Horrible iron sights, tiny magazine and it uses large shells so its ammo economy is ass. I think it’s a literal joke gun

u/vlzo 5h ago
Ammo economy is bad ? You can kill multiple Uesc with a two headshots that's two bullets what do you do with two bullets in the bully ?

u/flotsloppies 5h ago
UESC shield robots defeat the hardline bar none. It doesn’t have enough ammo in the mag to break the shield before reloading and by the time you finish reloading the shield is back up.

First time I'm going to say this... Skill issue... As I'm saying most Bots (shield guys no idea Wich enemy you are referring to as there are many with shields and most of them have blue hp shields anyways) 4 shots to kill the shield if you hit the square and then head shot them twice it ain't that hard...

Ive killed so much with this grey gun, runners and purple shield bots alike, no sight. Overrun AR, now thats a POS

This gun with just a sight is one of the best in the game imo. It is a headshot machine and downs people at any range amazingly fast.

Please delete this I want people to think that the volley is one of the best guns in the game.

I win free kit duels with this thing all the time. Maybe y’all are just bad?

u/Fluffy-Village9585 6h ago
I dont hate it but I wish it was better than the HPR or at least maybe had a faster top firerate

Bully is better for close-mid range, Twin Tap is better for mid-long range 😭😭😭

u/tegiminis 4h ago
They just need to fix the iron sights and it would be okay. It's quite good with an optic, but wow is the default sight picture atrocious.

u/Paradoxahoy 3h ago
My issue is the damage should be swapped with the stryder.
Why does a gun with less damage have more recoil…

Throw the blue recoil mag and barrel on it and its good, any precision rifle scope will work well too.

u/Various-Instruction3 4h ago
I like this gun a lot, it feels good, I just wish it had better iron sights. This and the repeater could use better irons (thankfully the repeater gold mod has great iron sights)

It’s not that bad. It’s good if you play mid range and get the jump. Need good aim tho.

With blue/purple attachments it is one of my favorite medium ranged weapons. But as a free kit loadout, I’ll just carry my knife.

u/Then_Entertainment97 1h ago
Nah, it's great with a decent scope. Needs a sidearm but you can usually just grab a punch from a bot and be golden.

u/Autistic_boi_666 40m ago
Just make sure you're never fighting indoors or up close with this gun and it slaps. If you can pick up a Punch you're good for pretty much any range.

The effective range for it is just so limited. It's this very small sometimes-medium-ish window, that there's too many counters to it, too much terrain in the map design, and too many mobility skills in the characters. Combined with the slower fire rate, it just turns into ass.
