SMG-32 Reprimand

[JohnPasSmith]

Hi, I'm curious about your thought on this weapon.
I personally love it, the recoil is a bit surprising but after 5min you get use to it and the gun hit like a truck.
I'd still recommend to use it while crouching if full auto.
I don't have any problem using it, my only issue could be the reaload time (4s) but with the siege ready passive it goes very well.

But I've barely see people using it (maybe 2 times a hundred hours), on forums it seems people dislike it.
Some dislike the 25 rounds magazine, some the recoil, some the spread...

What do you think of it ?

i use it with my ballistic shield vs cyborgs

It was garbage, but after changes and with attachements decreasing recoil its S-tier.

I think you mistake it with teh defender, the reprimand is not one handed :/

Its a good pick for liminate, but other weapons have far more utility.

For instance, I like the tenderizer. Good range plenty of damage, very little recoil and spread. Sure it's light AP, but when you can aim and get head shots, it takes out most things before you have to worry, on the bot front it can take anything other than tanks, hulks(unless you can get behind them), gunships and Factory Striders. Everything else takes a double tap to the head to take down.

SMG's are only really useful when they are one handed, so on missions where tounhave to carry something you are not stuck with a pistol.

Having the Reprimand go from 40 to 5 spread is a massive change. Even more so once you get some stuff on it to handle the vertical recoil

It's really nice that they changed all the SMG's to have less spread because before they were just bullet sprayers while now they're a lot more accurate

I tend to prefer medium pen primaries since they will be more polyvalent. Especially in high difficulty mission where most enemy have medium armour.

Tbh, I did not "feel" any change, but it was probably because it did not shoot at longer range. However with the customization the gun feels way more accurate, even when standing and using full auto the recoil is easy to handle.

oh, then that's probably why i consider it useless. a rifle or shotgun is better if using two hands.

so yes, i am one of the ones who do not use it.

I use SMG's a lot so I noticed it for sure. Even at 25m the Reprimand could barely hit what you were aimming at

Yeah, but average complainer here will not try it untill influencers won't make a 1000 videos on YT about how awesome Reprimand is right now. This weapon is a monster at close to medium range. I paired it today with Flak Auto-Cannon on Squid missions and it was a mayhem. Its a headshot machine, even hipfire is amazing. This gun just feels good. Last time I had so much fun with a gun it was AEK in BF3.

You should try the knight smg if you're into SMG's.

It's not super strong but the insane firerate + low speead/recoil finally makes it fun.

Kinda true, most people use the liberator penetrator, it's the easiest medium ar to play, and also free.
But i like when my gun deal damage and i'm not very good to aim weakspot, especially in the chaos..

I do use the knight at times, it was actually one of the first weapons I worked on leveling up

[ah, salmonn]

kinda wish for drum mags, disappointed.

It is a very good weapon against bots in very close environments (like jungles and fungus jungle) and pairs supremely well with the Stalwart against bugs. Having higher ergonomics than the Adjudicator makes it great for when switching to from a support weapon, while at the same time it deals a lot of damage both per shot, DPS, and per magazine.

I haven't gotten any attachments for it or played with it since the patch, but I was really rocking with it in its default state.
