I'm curious, has anyone used the Rokstedi yet? Is it relatively useful? I can't seem to find gameplay with someone using it.

It... um.... has potential. :shrug:

I can't use it effectively, but it does do some pretty good damage.

It is actually very good. I kick ass with it. At least, I do when I the multiplayer match I am in isn't bugged so everyone is invisible or the enemy NPC bots aren't headshotting me from across the map. It is semi automatic, so you need skill, but it kicks ass for From-The-Hip shooting at close to medium range.

The rockstedi... rocks.

Aside from the Gerund, it's the only assault rifle I consider worth using. You have to be careful with your firing, as the accuracy drops substantially with repeated shots, but the first shot is always dead on and it does similar damage to the heavy pistols or drognov light rifle with better handling.

Yeah I found it to be quite useful, but I would only use it on certain maps. There's no denying than an automatic weapon puts you at a great advantage most of the time.
On defense with a long sight line then the Rockstedi pwns, just as it's supposed to. Bridging the gap between semi-sniper and assault rifle.

So does the FAMAS aka FRKN-3K AR. That things actually QUITE a good gun and HIGHLY underestimated...

I actually like the Rokstedi. Get a COGA scope, supressor, your set. Especially if you're Security guarding from Resistance where they try and free Nacheyev (Security Tower). Just sit up in 1 out of 2 of those top openings and just rain hell. I can get headshots pretty nicely with it.

I just wish it was maybe a weeeeeee lil bit stronger. It just feels too weak compared to the FRKN-3K...

Still overall a nice weapon if you like single-shot guns ( I myself do, I play Reach (DMR) ).

Use the Rokstedi as a medium, backed up by an SMG like the Galactic/Kross with a speed sling.

I (in singleplayer) did quite well using the Rokstedi and Greeneye (COGA) over medium distances.

I like it, but i think it needs slightly better Stability for it to be useful. Not saying it isn't already, though.

I love it. I put a nice scope on it & pace my shots, 3 or 4 bullets later the guys down. Up close its very 50/50 but thats what ur secondary is for. I use it on a medium medic & remain behind lines in support of my team & picking off those annoying sniper players or sneaking engineers that sit up high. Makes a nice break from my full out heavy soldier with his chinzor lol

The gun is awesome at times, but unpredictable during others.

Sometimes it hits its mark and sometimes even if your crosshairs are on the enemy, the bullets fly elsewhere.

My favorite gun so far. I use the extended mags for 30 rounds, and either the RDS or the ACOG. Great gun when the game is running good, when you learn the bloom effect on it, it's easy to down 3-4 people with one clip. Even fires accurately from the hip, which is a plus. Throw the rapid fire on it and you're good to go.

I like the performance of the gun, but I think it could have a better sound.

To me it sounds like someone's kicking a cardboard box :rofl:

I love the gun to pieces, but it's easily the hardest AR to use. I use it with a Muzzle Break and either a C-U-Gone RDS or COGA Scope (will probably use the Greeneye when I get it). I might even try it without a MB to see if the cut on Range is really bad. The stats are deceiving, and nowadays I tend to avoid Drum/Extended mags unless VITAL since the real penalty to accuracy seems worse than the perceived penalty. Unbuffed, it will kill unbuffed Light/Medium in 3 shots and Heavy in 4. I don't dare use a Suppressor, winds up taking 4 shots to kill a Medium... haven't tried it on any others.

The problem with the gun is that it suffers the exact same issues as other Assault Rifles, where rapidly-sustained fire will cause spread to increase drastically. This takes its toll on the Rokstedi more so than others because of it's semi-auto fire, which relies on precision. The gun can fire a LOT quicker than it takes for the accuracy to settle, so spamming shots can leave you with Gotlung-sized spread.

What I always do to try out the performance of a new gun is go to the Escort Duty challenge, stand in the spawn area and fire at the wall beyond the green shield. That room gives you plenty of space to move around freely whilst firing, and even has a caged wall blocking off a REEAALLY long hallway to test out ranged accuracy.

With the Rokstedi, you'll notice that firing rapidly at the wall your bullets will start to fly EVERYWHERE after the second shot, especially whilst strafing... which really isn't ideal considering it's within close range. The correct way to use the gun then, is to either: fire very slowly and steadily, with little expectation for a kill; or as I've found, crouching significantly reduces spread, and allows you to fire around twice as quick with little penalty to accuracy. And you can still strafe slowly!

Hope you all enjoyed today's lesson. :thumbsup:
