Best VS Carbine
I want to buy one for the LA class but I can't decide. I'm looking either Serpent, Pulsar C or VX6-7. I don't mind the price.
Thanks in advance!

What do you want the Carbine to do? CQC or Long Range? Or a Jack of all Trades?

One that is good for both CQC and LR. Not just good for one mode and really bad for the other.

The stick to the standard Solcstice VE3. Very accurate, decent DPS, fast reload, little recoil.

The Default gun is what you are looking for. Its the best gun that can do both CQC and Long Range equally well.

Default is great, many people don't like the serpeant, it's not bad just more difficult to use. While your learning the game the Pulsar is more new player friendly (I am currently 115 kills short of my master Carbine badge for VS).

If it's versatility you're looking for, stick with the default. I used the Pulasr for a while, then tried the default. Been using it ever since.

Foregrip if you ADS (Aim down Sights) a lot. Laser Sight if you want to improve Hipfire. Don't use a Flash Suppressor and only use a regular Suppressor if you are fighting close range.

And whatever sight you are comfortable with. Night Vision Scopes let you see through Smoke.

As an LA you are certanly going to be in a lot of CQC battles so I'd suggest the Serpent. And this is out of personal preferance.

Pulsar C with a Laser Sight, no barrel attachment, no HV ammo and 2x scope is a superb mid-long and CQC hip-fire weapon. The thing has a super tight hip-fire CoFwith a laser sight and a forward grip would render the weapon accuracy worse anyway.
That's the gun I use for my LA setups.

Just remember to go for headshots and to control your burts.

VX6 and Serpent are almost exclusively CQC weapons and you'll struggle when engaging anything past 20m, especially with the Serpent.
