Unga Dunga Attachments

[Fritigern]

Spoilers: instead of putting a rail light on your active weapon, put it on your backup in your armour slot with the light turned on. Provides the same light bonus but your more upgraded weapon will still be in your hand.

This also negates the need for shotgun scabbards (and thus losing your backpack item to accommodate one), and in turn frees up your belt for a pistol holster while you put a whopping 14 magazines in your bag, or some other combination of items.

Sure, you have to carry a weapon in your hand the whole mission but let's be honest if you're running as a standard there isn't any need to have two hands free lest you want to take a break and pull your pud behind the bushes with no one is looking.

As for attachments themselves, with my light needs filled by my stowed weapon, I can usually run a RDS and a extended barrel on my rifle. Nothing is more frustrating than having some smug, salt-infused crusher staring at you menacingly while bullets plink off his armour uselessly. With the major accuracy bonus you basically can't miss anything in your sight radius, and you'll even find your rounds landing on targets off screen with greater regularity as well.

Quickfire + Burst fire sounds so ridiculous but I am tempted to try it out some time just for a laugh.

Mini-flamer is very effective if you missed out on a flame unit during the start of the mission. Most people who run over to their SL to score a flamer never use them properly and are usually the first ones to vanish without a trace, only to be found in a bush with no legs. If you're planning on living a long time, having a mini-flamer can be a massive boon for your whole squad. Every crusher will eventually reach a point where they can dive into a squad and fuck shit up without a care, but a single blast of fire will make a lot of them think twice about trying the same trick twice. A good defensive tool, and let's face it the marines are almost always on the defensive. It's also effective early on as well, if you can catch a runner with a blast it's usually the end of them, especially if they get caught on fire and take another shot or two as they try to run away.

Masterkey shotgun is definitely more of a lone wolf self-defense weapon. With enough confidence and robustness it gives you great dueling power against hunters and runners early on. Lots of hunters/runners won't blink at jumping a marine with an M4 because they know they won't get knocked down and can easily escape, opening them up to a surprise shotgun knockback. And where they might normally escape before a regular pump shotgun can fire again, the masterkey lets you immediately finish them while they're still down.

When I'm playing medic I like to run with a magnetic harness and an extended barrel on my SMG. I'm usually packed to the gills with medical supplies which means if I lose my primary weapon in a crisis I've got nothing left, so having the harness keeps me armed even if a runner pounces me while I'm evacing a patient.

Gets arrested by MP's for holding a gun out. One flaw in the plan.

[Molly Mirrions]

I just use mag harness and gyro on the shotty, with a rail light on the m41a.

[Crab_Spider]

Quickfire + burstfire isn't going to get you anywhere, it's suppressive fire but both attachments make the gun too inaccurate to use.

[Winter]

Magnetic harnesses are the new hotness, and yeah, I feel awkward when someone asks for QF+BFA at the same time.

[Szunti]

Did you know that mini-flamer fits on the pump shotgun?

I take red dot and extended barrel on M41A, mostly because I stay around teammates and don't want to accidentally FF them with the burstfire. UGL is too good to miss so grip is not an option. I wonder what's the difference between extended barrel and suppressor in damage and accuracy. Initially I took the suppressor to be quiet, but actually louder firing is better because teammates hear it and come to help.

I don't take side arms. They are mostly useless imo. If I can't pick up my lost gun or take one of the fallen marines I'm dead anyway.

As SL, I don't care about attachments, I won't really use my gun. Raillight is free, so I take one and that's it.

I used to grab it all the time, when I tried shooting a Spitter standing 6 files from me, most of my bullets missed... I felt very awkward.

Yeah but you looked cool

[Crab_Spider]

Yeah but you looked cool

All my shots missed and I got neurotoxed and dragged off.

Two gyro rifles (that's better with red dots, won't miss), if you can handle swapping hands between each shots (which is the point of dual wielding) and hold a good accuracy against the recoil, that has the highest amount of damage in the game (closely followed by smartgun)

[Robotonic]

As a standard I take a rifle and a shotgun. Rifle gets an extended barrel and rail light, the shotgun a mini flamethrower and bayonet. Nothing beats setting a red dog who was mocking you on fire through LZ1 girders.

As an engineer or medic I take an SMG with an extended barrel and RDS so I can burstfire it and not FF everyone in a 5 mile radius.

Squad leader, I take a flamer and put a rail light on it, a revolver with extended barrel and RDS. I occasionally vary with my attachments such as messing around with unusual load-outs.

[Heckenshutze]

Before the rail light and the bayonet update I used to go no attachments.

But if I had to pick one, quickfire and grip. And a buckshot shotty in your armor with a rail light

[Mobius_None]

I wonder if there are any advantages to no attachments

[spartanbobby]

Machete and webbing with a rail Light and bayonet on my shotgun.

[Dolth]

Quickfire and extended all the way.
