Veteran is worse than the VS Vintar

[The Hague Awaits]

Stats are all the same but the Veteran weighs more than the default VS Vintar. It is actually worse to use it? that really sucks.

They usually have rare/unique mods on them. check that

I also see no point. 0.5kg heavier and it has actually 1 Mod slot less (laser sight for CQC). Have you figured it out?

Any updates?
This is just assumption, but perhaps the stats are better on the Veteran when fully upgraded, or perhaps the gun is quieter.

[Mostly Objective Gaming]

that .5 is to account for the device in the stock i assume.

Also, the guns have the same stats when fully upgraded.

Does this device function?

Can you put a non sniper scope on the vs vintar?

Go to a tech and get it upgraded OP one of the upgrade options on armor and weapons is reduced weight, You have to be at the correct tech too each tech only has a specific group of weapons they can upgrade, all techs can only do repair

Normal Vintar also has this update. The both reduce the same % of weight, so while it makes the difference not 0.5 kg, but 0.4, it is still the same gun that is heavier.

yep, I sold the veteran and I use regular Vintar, in the zone every 0.1 kg counts, sometimes I just walk with the Rhino scoped and the PTM

[OleksMultiverse]

Yeah, I'm also confused... isn't unique version supposed to be better, not worse? As far as I could tell, the only difference is that it's heavier and has one less upgrade option. So, basically, it's much worse... I wanna play with a unique weapon but it's so frustrating.

[Coolverine]

There's a custom Integral-A called Riemann that is really good, but from what I heard it's only in the deluxe and ultimate editions.

[sgt_magor]

Trophy rifle should make up for those disappointed with Journalist stashes. just wish i found it earlier in the game.

[Othobrithol]

Some of the unique weapons have much higher or lower durability than a default weapon. Trophy, for instance, is much tougher than a vanilla Lavina whereas Lummox's scoped AK is lower than default.

I just got the Veteran and it replaced the Combatant that I used for awhile, and I think it's great so far.

I'd say the key word is unique. I get why people jump to "better" but that just depends on when you get it. It's a free weapon with attachments. That's better in some ways.
Like the scoped AK you get right at the start, durability is through the floor to make it an early game weapon, otherwise I would never need another gun for the entire 90 hours of play. That would not be fun at all, and make every other 5.45 pointless. A games gotta game.
