which one is better, Meusser or Algstudsare hunting rifle?

[yai200439]

stats show they have a equal damage output, but the writing say Algstudsare is more powerful, however Meusser(word twist of mausser perhaps?) has more handling and the ammo is easier to come by.

I've got 4 crown and 3 crown Algstudsare rifle and have really hard time deciding which one to throw away

Difference is, the hunting rifles can have a silencer on.

Anyways, id suggest using hunting rifles if your trying to stealth and use the Pansar if you know your gonna have robots running at you during the attack.

Hunting rifle is better in damage, but suffers from small mag and slow reload. i didn't really like any of them. The 50 cal sounds a LOT, but the 4 star one is free .. in a place. It's faster that any of the other, and using it really far away at least give them quite some damage before getting too close.

I haven't really understood at what range the bullets not only drop.. but actually don't even reach it's target.
We did a test at ~400 meters, shooting close to each other, so the bullets go that far at least with great precision even. but it seems one have to get up closer for the 300+ shots to even register as entering combat on an enemy?

I have to say, I don't think I've found a Meuser >1 star, so I haven't tried it. I generally switch between Algstudsare and Pansar to conserve ammo. Alg is sufficient for dogs/scouts without closing in and is decent for a good chunk of engagements.

After using the Pansar though its like going back to a slingshot!

u cant steal all the game
tank and harvest need 100 and more shots to kills
slots r limited use p90 is better choice

ammo for 270 can be found in any place
243 is rare, and 50 very rare

also, p90 have very bad percision
and unusable without sniper perks
i have engeneer spec
so i use 270

The p90 should actually do more damage but my AI 76 (AK) is more lethal against Hunters and Tanks. And both are 5 star weapons.
The p90 also has quite a drop at long distance compared to the AI 76 or even a 5 star 5,56 AR.
I think that they need to readjust the ballistics and bullet trajectory of all the weapons.
I used a 4 star .243 and a 3 star .270 but the 3 star .270 does more damage, even with a silencer.
A 5 star p90 should do the most damage but unfortunately that's not the case.

Of the two hunting rifles the Algstudsare is actually the better rifle. The more crowns a weapon has the better condition it's in. Get rid of the 3 crown one, it's just taking up inventory space.

Why even waste ammo on these things. Literately 1 any emp weapon + 1 landmine does the job.

You get a resounding 20 xp for using explosives against enemies. Conversely, if you fight them with bullets you get a lot more. (I can't remember the exact number but it's triple digits)

@OP: Algstudsare (sp?) is the better rifle and the ammo becomes more available as you journey up north. I originally had the same worries as you (can I sustain this rifle?!) and the answer is yes, yes you can. You can ditch the Meusser if you want, but it's always nice to have options I guess :P

[Vash]

I carry the .270 and .50.As you work your way north, .270 ammo is easier to come by.
I use the suppressed .270 for mid range work to avoid alarming enemies and .50 for long range work where the noise doesn't matter.

Hard question, mostly comes down to preference.
I never had a hard time finding bullets with engineer skill, using some ammo boxes for the metal jacket ones which are indeed rare is sufficient.
It seems that the game promotes the use of algstudsare, 50cal, smgs, ag5 and magnum after when you go at the mid-upper section of the mainland, since i rarely encounter meusser rounds and other pistol ones.

Hi, Algstudsare is a bit more power full as the ammonition has more power compared to the Meusser. But Meusser is a bit faster in reloading and has one bullet more in the magazine which in my eyes makes the Meusser almost eaqual to the Algstudsare. The Pansarvärnsgevär 90 is powerfull but in my eyes not well balanced as a cal .50 round will penetrate easily 2 to 3 cm thick
hardned steel. Also the range of it is a bit weired as in rl cal .50 has an range of about 2000 to 3000m depending on ammonition. But the cal .50 is an semi automatic sniperrifle which makes reloading much faster so if you don't need to be quiet use it.
