The Noveske N4 Afghan is a joke

[Nova]

Let's start out with the fact that it costs 5000, which is double the price of almost all other comparable rifles, including the AR-15 which the model is an exact clone of minus the little cross on the side. In addition, the rifle has rather mediocre stats, slightly higher rate of fire than said AR-15, but with half the accuracy, and 2 points less of damage? Only kinda quieter? Why is it so expensive? Could you explain what it does that makes it worth 5k, or maybe buff it a bit? Taking 200 stars to unlock is ridiculous for such a useless gun.

EDIT: Realized I mixed up the damage, the Noveske is overall objectively worse than the AR

Or paint the Noveske gold, I'd totally buy it then.

I'll start by saying I have no opinion on its price. As for its usefulness, well, that depends on your strategy. I believe the Noveske is meant for "ghosting": if you add the longer suppressor to it its noise goes down to almost 1, meaning enemies won't hear you shooting it until you're standing next to them, which should allow you to stealth up behind someone. It has the same dps as the CTAR (supposedly the "best" gun in the game) so, if an enemy turns toward you or runs into you around a corner unseen, you should be able to blast them away no problem. The fact that you can get so close to an enemy means its base accuracy of 5 is of no concern, but the Noveske also has *every* upgrade slot available to it, meaning you can add all four categories of Accuracy boosting attachments to it and make it a viable weapon at long range.

There's actually an important reason why you should buy the Noveske N4 Afghan, It's quite complicated and I'll try and explain it the best i can....

You buy it because it looks cool.

but it is borderline identical to the AR-15 ;-;
