Obviously there are many things to consider here:1) DPS2) Recoil pattern3) Availability4) How many attachments it takes to level the gun up.5) Versatility (is it good up close and or at range)Am I missing something?Anyway— I believe the Havoc secures the top spot in so many these categories that it’s actually OP in the current state of the game. And I think it’s an issue because the gun is so common. Thoughts?

@Axs5626Sxa5001 The issue with the havoc is the spool up. You have to carry a 99. Prowler or something else with it. If you get surprised in CQC and don’t have a fast firing gun you’ll be dead.. i can unload one clip of a 99 into a havoc player before they get 9 shots off.Even if you get it going I’m going to duck behind something and do peak a shoot. Which will make you unload your coip or stop firing the gun.

@Axs5626Sxa5001 Mine would be the prowler. I’m deadly without hoppup, I’m Death with it.It does need at least an extended mag tho... and preferably a sight

@Axs5626Sxa5001Dont forget the very important point of ammo economy. Some guns like the Peacekeeper, Wingman, P2020 etc. usually only need one stack to keep going for quite a while. Some like the G7 only 2.Its important as that dictates how many grenades, ult. accelerants, heals etc. you can carry.

@BigBlackCaustic yup,100% agreed. I carry a wingman with one stack as a secondary since the inventory rework, gives me room for ult acceralants as crypto or arc stars as revenant.Plus lets face it, its a damn good gun that's so easy to build.

@Axs5626Sxa5001 R301. Needs a mag but is reliable, has low recoil, Anvil hop up and has a decent dps.Everyone else...... R99

@Koochi-Q For a second I thought you were going to say you were dead without the prowler.

@Koochi-Q I don’t run sights anymore on anything but a snipe/mid range. I’ll toss on a digi threat on KC at night but that’s about it. If you get used to having them, you then start to require them. Then when you don’t have one you’re dead..

@Sir_Named Lolz that’s also applicable... XD

@DarthValtrex, you’re a man of many talents. I am not. Screw no sight XD. I need my optics... especially on the prowler

Thats a really on point facts. Havoc is good on open fights where people can't take a cover. This gun is OP only against low tier guns such a p2020,mozambique, re45. But against other guns it is fine. So issue are in bad guns not in this gun.
