This setup is best suited for Multiplayer, where better control and faster ADS speed are crucial, as you might encounter enemies suddenly. Your reaction time and weapon responsiveness matter, which is why a faster ADS is necessary.

This build slightly increases firepower and improves accuracy by reducing gun kick by 15%, horizontal recoil by 30%, and vertical recoil by 13%. You also get a 27% boost to ADS speed and a 28% increase in jump ADS speed.

The Extended Mag I is used as it has a smaller impact on handling stats while increasing the magazine size by 10 rounds, bringing the total to 40 bullets.

In a Warzone, you need to enhance the weapon’s long-range effectiveness, so this build focuses on extending damage range and increasing bullet velocity, so you to confidently take on long-range fights.

When shooting at further distances, weapon stability is a must, where reducing horizontal recoil is especially important, as vertical recoil is much easier to control.

Since this weapon will mainly be used for medium to long-range encounters, responsiveness won’t significantly affect your performance. Therefore, this setup sacrifices some handling stats such as reload speed, ADS speed, sprint-to-fire speed, jump ADS speed, and hip sprint-to-fire speed.

In return, the setup improves bullet velocity by 44%, bringing it up to 1209.6 m/s, and also improves accuracy by reducing gun kick by 16%, horizontal recoil by 48%, and vertical recoil by 13%.

Lastly, this setup also keeps you off the enemy radar and increases your magazine size to 50.
