Didn't say I wanted all of them. My typical grindr uses feedback so not that much of a change to grab silencer skills instead.

What's the selling point on the buzzsaw?

It has the fastest firing rate out of the LMGs, but I prefer the KSP over it. The buzzsaw is also more inaccurate, although with a bi-pod, that issue is generally fixed.

Reminder that bipods bump LMG accuracy to 75 with zero recoil and factor silencer bonuses on top of that, so enjoy your laser beam

I love sticking my KSP bipod on the right upstairs bedroom window in the Rats/Cook Off house. Nobody's coming up the driveway for the next 20ish minutes.

I have a grinder inspire/suppressor build which is superior in my opinion because you get Inspire+farts (medbag deployable), but if you want ICTV, Inspire, and silencer skills you should look into Pirate Perfection :v:

With the LMGs being incredibly good these days it's both fun and effective. Take a Buzzsaw.

Gonna second this. A silenced Buzzsaw is pretty much what I use for such a build, along with the RPG (because why the gently caress not?) when I'm not dicking around with silenced light ARs.

Tulip posted:

It has the highest firerate and ammo pickup, countered by having rather harsh recoil outside of bipods and a long reload without any option of a tactical reload (6.5 seconds IIRC, which puts it closer to the Minigun than any other LMG). It also looks cool as hell and you get the irony of mowing down fascist cops with a Nazi weapon.

Are people still fartforcing? What's the preferred use of points above and beyond farting and fatsuit? I don't think there's enough for inspire.

I use this sometimes. It's hard to invest too much in silencer skills if you also want Inspire ace and Iron Man basic, but here's a fun fact: a suppressed Thanatos can kill a Deathwish Bulldozer in two shots if you've got Silent Killer basic, Spotter basic, Underdog basic, and Cleaner basic all active.

The Buzzsaw may not be the optimal fartgun build but it is the most Fun by the Standards and Measures Fun Index of 2015.

If I could suppress the minigun, I'd bring that. Probably every heist.

The entire second act of the heist, Locke's helicopter will be vulnerable and targeted by enemies. If it's shot down, the heist becomes unwinnable. Don't forget the two swat turrets!

Same deal with act 3 of Beneath the Mountain- one long escort quest for Locke and his chopper.

Odd thing is, the escape chopper on Mountain does have HP and can be damaged...

C4 escape is fine if you have one person with a vaguely accurate weapon. It's better than the default one, though this isn't saying much.

C4 is fine if you got one badass player who is taking out the snipers while you run bags. With goons that's easy.

The AMR-16 has higher default zoom than other rifles, so scopes will be more zoomed in when placed on it. The FoV of scopes has not changed.

Beneath the Mountain seems small potatoes compared to Birth of Sky - That small town turns into a fuckin bloodbath, and somehow the sewers beneath have nastier ambushes than the murkies manage to assemble on the top of their own fortress. That said, what are the extra loot options for mountain? My crew cleared out all the vaults but didn't get the achievement, so I assume there's something on the mountain top area that we couldn't find.

Also I love that the baby deagle comes with a Spike Kit and Spike Grip. :allears:

There are ten bags of loot total. 6 of them are in the final area after the zip-line upwards. Look for green murkie crates.

Birth of Sky lower map is strongly reminiscent of BurgerTown from COD:Modern Warfare 2.

^ For a few DLCs they just came with the guns, but with the point break one (and maybe the pack before it? I can't recall), you're back to relying on paydays, side jobs, or goonmod.

Don't I know it. I have a friend that just hated having to take time out of their busy crime schedule to do a single silly achievement run to get a mod for a gun. Then they just started giving us all the mods, which I was fine with. Now we're back to square one and neither of us is happy!

Didn't they suddenly remember to give everyone 1 of every Ninja pack mod a few patches ago? At this point I'm convinced any time they don't give you freebie mods it's because they forgot. Again. Because Overkill.

Playing sniper wack-a-mole with how frequent the spawns are on C4 escape is less fun. Also it wasn't that hard to counter-snipe with the old LMGs; it's easier now that bipods exist. I wonder if I can get pubs to do C4 escape to test that... :v:

Seriously though, thank you so much, Overkill, for locking this poo poo behind autistically-specific achievements! I agree it's super easy to get a group of people together to do a mission on Deathwish, with everybody wearing sombreros and carrying identical melee microphones, just so I can get the "Mariachi Madness" achievement and unlock the "Noticeably Superior Upper Receiver" for my favorite gun. :fuckoff:
