Ac42 has been nerfed into oblivion for some very odd reason that baffles me!
Use another gun as the ac42 is just a wasted gun spot

It was nerfed because every controller player that plays the game was abusing aim assist + AC42 at medium to long ranges and absolutely beaming people.
AC42 went the way of the SVK because controller players abused it too much. Aim Assist + Weapons like that just don't play well and isn't fair.

While I agree that the nerf was a good decision, it think it has been overnerfed. I'm a controller player (ps5) and aiming at moving people from far away is actually quite challenging. Its extreme fire rate isn't an advantage over other guns like the ak24 at longer rangers because because the shots have to be fired at a slow pace to deal with recoil and moving target. The effective range at which the ak24 high power rounds outputs 22 hp of dmg is much higher (by 25 m), which doesn't make much sense to me
Having said that, I still love the ac42 - the "hyperbursts" feel so satisfying
- xXHappy_PuppyXx3 years agoRising Ace@AvocadoPablo There is no aim assit on series x or PS5 if you're dieing to a console player the issue is your skill... the aim assit hasn't worked since release.

There's definitely some aim assist but maybe it doesn't always work. The sticky kind of aim assist is apparent when I use assault rifles

Try play on controller then say how is it.
Mk players have more precise aim and this is fact.
Ps only PC gamers stay in this game, console gamers don't stand a chance against pc gamers.
- ATFGunr3 years agoLegend@sergeyt1980 That’s not true, I get killed by plenty of Xbox and PS players (PC player here). Frankly I get zapped by the AC42 all the time too. Server lag, ping, poor optimization, wired or wifi… there are plenty of issues that affect both consoles & PC. Just being closer to the servers gives an advantage in response. As a solid middle of the pack player, I don’t blame anything else besides my own age, slower twitch skills than when I was younger, and that I only play a few times a week rather than constantly.
- edgecrusherO03 years agoSeasoned Ace@emerson1975 Oblivion? I mean, it's still very strong. If anything it's performing more in-line with what it probably should be, and it's other weapon class imbalances that are the problem. I need to play around with DMR's again, but unless those have been improved considerably it'll still outclass the whole category of DMR's.
I'm still countersniping DMR/sniper users with it all the time and it remains hilariously accurate at distances even when rapid firing in semi-auto mode.
