GD-7F worth it?
So I finally got 1000+ certs right now. The question is: what should I buy? I was thinking about buying a new gun that kills very fast and is accurate and I thought the GD-7F is the best choice.
Right now I want a weapon that guarantees a lot of certs and kills in the long run. I've found 2 weapons that fit those needs on the NC: The Warden and the NS-R3 Swarm. IMO those are amazing weapons.

The GD-7F is great for close quarters, but the low damage per mag and long reload times make it difficult to get many kills per magazine, and high horizontal recoil means it isn't very accurate. It's the perfect weapon for engineers in a biolab, or fighting indoors in general. It is easy to use and the damage output gives you the advantage where you shouldn't have it, such as 1v1 against a heavy, or when someone ambushes you. If you want accuracy and liked the Warden, you could try the AC-X11. For general purpose the default is the best.

Edit: I haven't tried the Gauss Compact Burst, it might also be good for longer range and burstfire might feel more similar to your battle rifle.

Thanks for the answer!
What about Anti-vehicle weapons? Which one is the best?

For what? I don't use infantry or MAX AV but I'd guess Decimator and Ravens. C4 LA as well, either with drifter jets or attached to a flash.
It's more fun to fight vehicles with other vehicles if you can afford to spare some certs and time to learn it. I don't play much tank, you should probably go here if you want good information on that.
Harasser can also be very fun but it has mediocre DPS and low armor, its speed allows for chasing down targets (and running over non-rendering mines infantrymans) which is a bit more situational. It's definitely most effective with a gunner.

If you're a very cert farming oriented person, the AV MANA turret might be an unlock to consider. Lets you add in some damage and maybe last hit vehicles while you support MAXes/armor. Also arguably the easiest turret to aurax for the directive if you care about that.

You could always go with an SMG, a major benifit is it can be equiped on all classes.

What class do you play as the most?
ThatCoolBird Feb 7, 2017 @ 5:47pm 
Focus on class certs.

I like playing as Heavy because of the NS-R3 Swarm and the Warden

Well make sure your chosen heavy shield is maxed out and what ever suit slot you use is maxed. The default weapons for all nc classes are great guns, i would highly suggest certing out your abilites/medkits and possibly squad beacon first as well.

Buying a SMG will be one of your most cost effective purchases. If you are good at aiming go cyclone otherwise go blitz for a bit more spray and pray.

IMO personally i hate the swarm, i need that dumbfire xD

The thing is I already bough an SMG (stupid me when I started to level up my character). I bought the NS-7 PDW that is the most horrible gun I've ever used imo. Complete ♥♥♥♥. Accuracy = ♥♥♥♥. Damage = ♥♥♥♥. I have no idea why did I buy this gun. Could've bought the other ones as you said, but noo. Now I'm stuck with it. The thing is, should I buy another SMG or go full cert on a class?

Cert classes first, unless you really really want to play SMG infiltrator.

Uhhhhhhhhhh if you think the NS-7 has ♥♥♥♥♥♥ accuracy then honestly you need to work on your burst control. Its the most accurate SMG out there with bugger all recoil.

Really? I think the Blitz is the most accurate.
