Gauss attachment

Post » Mon Mar 21, 2011 9:26 am

So... recently, I started to use the Gauss attach and I really like it:
1 - It's a compact M2014 - great for sniping!
2 - It can sound strange, but it can help in CQC too - one shot and one punch and enemy is down.
3 - If you are standing still, the gauss is pin-point accurate.
What do you think?

(Also, 100th post!)

I agree, it's like a portable sniper rifle, and it is pretty nice when you use it with a gun with the Assault Scope. 1 or 2 hits and they'll go down. If you add it to the SCAR or Scarab, you're essentially adding a long range mode to the gun. So I think its cool and use it on the larger open maps.

I don't think its considered a m2014 if its an under barrel attachment. Gauss attachment flies better in my ears.

I have a set up called scars that has both of them in it for the ammo..... Best idea ever. You can own a lot of people with it and it one shots busts too.

Any round I fall into people right away say the guass is OP, pfftt, please, i choose the guass, because it has 2 advantages, the rounds are bigger, and everyone trembles in fear when i fire it.

No, the M2014 is almost one hit kill while the Gauss attachment is more comparable to DSG 1. (2 hit kill / 1 hit headshot.)
If you have the Assault scope, it's essentially an underbarrel DSG 1, just with less ammo.

M2014 Gauss is anything but OHK, that's why no one uses the Gauss...

The big Gauss should make OHKs, get a slight slower firerate and the Mag size is maybe 5 per Magazine. That would be balanced.

Oh gawd I got off Topic: The Gauss Attachement... I personally don't use it, because when I get the oportunity, I can't hit anything xD, but still it's quite usefull.

My loadout is this:
SCARAB > Silencer > Laser > Gauss Attachment
Energy Transfer / Point Fire Enhance / Visor Enhance

Tag > Aim just under the red arrow... BOOM! The Gauss Attachment has great penetration characteristics too.

Speak for yourself, I love the gauss, people think i'm pro when I dominate with it then. 500 kills strong

No its instant bolt of pain that can one shot a cloaked person at any range. Really good with Gauss as secondary because the ammo is the same meaning A LOT.
In my SCARS set up I have the attachment and the Gauss. The Gauss is for counter sniping IF needed but mostly for the ammo. The attachment does the real work and my SCAR is the main workhorse for usual firefights. Oh and the hip fire is lazor accurate if not moving your feet. So you do not need to ADS sometimes ( I shot a cloaked runner just hip firing because you could judge were he was going with no ADS a lot better)
