Why does krag even exist?

[Anatolius]

Less ammo than normal, damage that would make sense for medium ammo, and its price is only 20$ than a lebel?
And most importantly - why i keep getting a challenge to use this overpriced excuse of a rifle?

[Ciri Facial Elen Riannon]

Cheap, fast, 2tap up to 116m.
"less ammo than normal" like,... 1 bullet less?

It exists so I don't feel as bad for using long ammo to complete a challenge.

show us on the doll where krag hurt you

Very fast cycle time. Being able to two tap with long ammo so quickly is very very strong.

It's arguably one of the strongest rifles in the game because of it. Depending on the kind of fight you are in, it outclasses the lebel and mosin even for this reason; however yes in some situations those are better choices.

The three big things in hunt has always been cycle time, ammo type (tied in with velocity), and how hard they hit. The krag has a great cycle time, the best type of ammo, and hits not as hard as many other long ammo types but it hits quite hard enough and you'll still get a lot of one tap kills with it in fights.

I say this exact thing every time I am selecting a long ammo gun to bring and looking at the weapon stats. Then when I do bring a Krag for whatever reason, I clean house. It is damn good just because of the distance and speed you can two tap at.

fast shooting long ammo.

fr, and I get plenty of one tap downs anyways, and if you headshot (and you get like 3 times the chances compared to other long ammo rifles to try) then it doesn't really matter.

The thing is vicious. Fire rate is very strong that is why the officer carbine is so powerful but the krag is long ammo and has less recoil.

best long ammo repeater:

fastest firing
fast reload, no bullet grubber
smallest hip fire crosshair
good magazine size
same good sight as mosin

damage breakpoint is overrated, especially since 75% of this game now takes place during events which have bonus methods to replace chunks. if chunks and breakpoints were so important, people would use fire ammo, but hardly anyone does unless they have a quest.

[苏立Sully]

long ammo with fast cycle
good reload
no bullet grubber

[Collect - FDR's Wheelchair]

its the fastest shooting long ammo gun

[Dagungus]

124dmg means it won't 1 tap a -1 bar player. Which makes it vastly inferior to almost all other long ammo options.
