The headshot efficiency on M5A3 is pretty good, which means headshots reduce the TTK by a lot.
The recoil pattern goes up and to the right in overall, but it bounces side to side a lot, and it makes the gun quite inaccurate.
Is it confusing? Let me make it simple!
Range Change
20m ~ 50m -> 30.1m ~ 40m ~ 50m
Damage Change
22 ~ 18 ~ 15 -> 22 ~ 18 ~ 15 ~ 13
- An optic of your choice
- Close Combat Ammunition
- Shortened Barrel
- Any attachment that increases the accuracy wether while moving or static / Grenade Launcher
There are some weapons that is at somewhere between one weapon category and another. M5A3 is an AR that kinda feels like an SMG. If you’re an aggressive, assulting player, M5A3 might be it for you. The grenade launcher, especially the smoke launcher can help with that playstyle a lot. Also, the armor piercing grenade punches through the Dozer’s shield. You can kill him with 2 shots. If you aren’t a fan of it, you can simply go for an attachment that increases the accuracy.
