FFAR assault rifle review and tips: perhaps the worst supply drop weapon so far.

[TheKingmario2]

I got this awesome gun when the weapon bribe came out (of course, only with bribe you can get something), then i managed to get the gold camo for it.

During this frustrating operation i noticed something: is pretty underpowered!!!

This gun is plagued by many weakpoints that don't let this gun be useful at all:
1: A flimsy damage for bullet, that don't let you kill under 4-7 shoots.
2: A slow and morbid recharge that makes you fall asleep every reload!
3: Awful range. This gun can used only for CQC situations, after 3 meters the gun require 5-7 bullets to kill something!
4: This gun is somewhat heavy, this means: if you exo jump and then you land, your aim will be fudged up! with this already bad accuracy that jump is sometimes a death sentence for you.
5: Hipfire is a metropolitan legend with this gun. Fast firerate + bad accuracy = basicly no accuracy during hipfire. with this gun you are always forced to aim in order to land some hits.

CAMOS WEAKPOINT: ARDENT CAMOUFLAGE: this camo require longshots........longshots with this thing...........WHAT?! Fast firerate + bad accuracy + low damage for bullet + basicly no range = Cancer at ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥!!! This challange was a true hell to survive!

LOADOUTS TIPS:
1: STANDARD: Elo sight + fast mags + extended mags. Recoil isn't that bad if you already know how to tame that. There is no way to increase range and damage for this rifle, so the only thing you can do is fix the bad reload weakpoint (and a little bit of accuracy).

2: LONGRANGE CHALLANGE: Varix + high caliber + FMJ. As i already stated: there is no way to increase range for this thing, so the best you can do is improve the damage output, stopping power and piercing effect. This helped me alot to get longrange kills with this pellet gun.


GOOD ATTACHMENTS:
1: ELO sights
2: Fast mags
3: Extended mags
4: Silencer: For some strange reason the silencer will slightly increase hipfire accuracy, i don't know why but it works! Anyway, the range will be fudged up completely.

BAD ATTACHMENTS:
1: Default iron sights: exo lands and normal lands will make this gun giggle like hell, for this reason jumping is dangerous for ffar iron sights users. Accuracy will be completely screwed.
2: Fast grip: the gun have an already good ADS time, this will also increase the idle sway when you are landing with exo.
3: Tactical laser: you can't hipfire this thing! don't even try spray and pray with this rifle!



CONCLUSION: i love and hate this rifle.....i love that for the feels from black ops 1, but i hate it cause of so bad range and damage for bullets. Is probably the worst supply drop gun so far, but also a good gun for more experienced players. just remember: this gun will never be an smg, so don't rush with that, cause is very dangerous choice!



P.S: sorry for my bad english.

Silencer on assault rifles is terrible in this game. And also, where are quickdraw and stock? If you only use the gun with bad attachments then it's no surprise that you think it's underperforming because it's not.

Quickdraw is a poor choice cause the ADS time is already good, and accuracy bonus is somewhat poor compared to grip and others. Stock was good idea, but still a bad choice for an already heavy and with a bad idle sway gun. Simply i haven't wrote them cause they act as neutral attachments in my opinion, they never changed my gameplay at all, due the already aggravating FFAR handling stats.

I put quickdraw and stock on all assault rifles and I don't understand how anyone could play without them. If you combine those two attachments with the Varix sight for that nice recoil reduction then the FFAR is really good. The only downside at that point is the long reload.

the only best supply drop weapon is peacemaker in my opinion good for long and close range,didn't get galil yet

The only real weakpoint of this gun is the poor handling proprieties. Recoil can be easily controlled, the slow reload can be fixed with extended and fast mags, with a really good reload performances. Since this game have different EXOs compared to Advanced warfare EXOs, the idle sway caused by a landing can make this gun bounce in a frustrating and uncontrollable way, and this isn't an accuracy problem, but a an ingame mechanic issue with the weight of the guns.

Increasing range is impossible, increasing damage output too (since damage is related to range), and accuracy isn't that bad.

yes is great! is my main weapon, but is victim of this nasty game EXOs mechanic, and his low damage for bullet contribute to the pain.

But thats my secret build of the weapon

Have they nerfed the FFAR since I last played?
Because I sware on my mothers life that it had no idle sway.
And had little recoil.

The only attachments you'll need are, Quickdraw, Stock, Maybe long barrel if you're feeilin' it.
The iron sights are nice and clear. Hardly any effect when boost jumping / landing.

It's the slowest ADSing AR out there. It needs Quickdraw to be viable.
And Quickdraw offers no "Accuracy boost", it only makes you ADS faster.

And all guns need stock, maybe not Snipers, but everything else requires stock.
