To be honest I think this weapon is extremely underused, not a lot of people are using it at all and I am scratching my head as to why.

I put together a video showing what the Jackal can do so kindly check it out to continue my thoughts on this topic.

I like ma Jackal, i used it alot during SP campaign, works well on MP for quick face to face meetings, i'd guess the underuse is the range, people love to schnipe, even with AR's

ops, 2 posts sorry

The range is the point, you can not use it from far away, just on close encounters to be efective like covan said.

I think thas why, it doen't use to shoot an enemy runing far away from you, you will not be able to kill him if he has a feline you r a deadman xD

The single shot Jackal causes more damage by the way.

Its gotta be my favorite weapon in the game. I use it 80% of the time lately.
That combined with mobility enhance is killer.

3 or 4 bar, you are set. Anything else? Garbage. I've seen vids where people take other people down w/ one effing shot. ONE EFFING SHOT! It takes me at least 4 or 5 to down someone on 1-bar. It's absolutely ridiculous. If that weren't the case, I'd be all over the shotties!

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPP

I don't have this problem with the jackal but the marshal I do, I went on a rampage with it lots of 1 shots next game even 4 shots wouldn't drop anyone.

Jackal is my 2nd fav gun though

Jackal use single shot

Left arrow to use it

1 shot for cloaked 2-3 for normal and armor..
