Is the MP-98 Knight any good?

[Valenthor]

Anyone try it out and have any thoughts?

Which one is that? Sorry names blend together and Ive unlocked quite a bit.

I find the Defender to be way better than both the Knight and the Liberator AR. The Knight's recoil is obscene nevermind the fact the mag is gone in less than 2 seconds.

Huge damage in a very very short time. It eats up a lot of ammo.
The recoil is very strong, especially the initial toss of the barrel.
The good thing is that it is a one-handed weapon. I use it in delivery missions.
It’s not worth buying an upgrade just for this weapon. SMG-37 Defender, which is in the free battle pass, is no worse and in some ways even superior.

Love it, Used it almost exclusively right out of the gate.
You sure gotta be prepared to reload and your aim has got to be precise.
But the weapon shreds anything that doesn't have thick armor, Grunts will just fall over left and right.

I do use like the Machine Gun on the side and I am sure I will try some of the other heavy automatic Support weapons as they are kind of a necessity if you are running the MP98.
All comes down to playstyle but if you like fast submachines then it's certainly no sleeper.

[Paulie]

its decent, but it eats ammo too fast if you leave it on autofire, use burst instead.

[zmanbuilder]

its alright, not my preferred playstyle, btw remember to crouch when firing as it greatly helps with recoil.

Behold, the laziest answer I have ever seen

Didn't like it, couldn't deal with the massive recoil

You can't judge when you necro.

Hope we can upgrade weapon soon in an next update like in HD 1, this one would be a blast

[Dootslayer]

To answer your question, yeah it's top tier against bots paired with the engineering armor.

Huge DPS potential, and if you crouch down its pinpoint accurate even in smaller bursts over distances.

It's one of the "must pick" weapons for bots, and it is good against bugs too. (The shotgun is better there, because of the run and gun nature of the maps though)

Speaking from Impossible-Helldive experience, so not an opinion gathered from the easier difficulties

[Qua2ar]

Ammo hungry but good dps, very good to fend off stalkers(tanky enemy)

[Spectacular_Insanity]

Defender is straight-up better. Knight has too much recoil due to its fire rate to accurately hit targets' weak spots, generally speaking.

It's okay at point blank range, but you really don't want to be that close to enemies if you can help it. Kiting at medium range is the best way to stay alive, especially against Bugs.

For bugs, you can actually go face first into the fight meters away, its preferrable quite often.
And i wouldn't say better, its different. The defender is easier to handle, but if you can control the knight it has a bigger dps potential.

Both are fun stuff.
