Why can't I kill anyone with the 3 Burst and Semi-Automatic : Othor Games

» Thu May 03, 2012 10:07 pm

Thanx for all the postings. This has helped me out A LOT. I enjoy using the Rockstedi especially when I'm a engineer. Buffing your damage and adding rapid fire makes the gun bearable. I just wish they would fix the FRKN-3K. The gun is trash. I usually pick 3-burst guns over automatic any day. I wish the FRKN-3K was like other 3burst guns in other games (BC2 - An-94, Homefront - Scar-L, MW2 - M16).

I find that most of the ARs need to have a muzzle and Scope along with burst firing to be successful.

HOLY JESUS-[censored]-CHRIST. :woot:

Looks like all the testing & practise with the Rokstedi paid off. http://oi55.tinypic.com/35jh6i9.jpg Muzzle Brake, Speed Sling (has no visible penalty to stability w/ Brake), High-cap mags & Greeneye Scope. Used Carb-9 w/ Muzzle Brake, Foregrip & High-cap mags as secondary, but I only used it when I ran out of ammo with the Stedi or fighting in close-quarters. Played as Engineer with basic damage buff.

I take back everything I said about the Rokstedi. It isn't great, and it's definitely still one of the harder weapons to use... but it certainly isn't garbage. It's completely possible to beast it up using one. :celebration:

This next patch should really bring some new life to the Rockstedi and the FRNK3k :celebration:

To maintain full accuracy and minimal spread with the Rokstedi, you have to wait about a second between shots. You'll find that if you don't go spammity-spamming, your shots will be true to their mark, and you can put people down in a few shots. I personally don't bother with the Muzzle Brake, since the gun's recoil already settles faster than its spread, and I use the standard mag to maintain full accuracy. Throw on a COGA/Greeneye, and it pretty much bridges the gap between ARs and LRs.

FRKN is just a terrible gun, and out-classed by the Gerund which can fire 3-shot bursts with the same if not better accuracy, and with a smaller pause between them.

Rapid fire?? As it stands the gun already has so much spread, that the recoil settles before the spread has time to. In that case, making it fire even quicker... seems pretty pointless to me. Unless you were going to use it for hip-fire... but even then, it grows to shotgun-sized after a few shots.

I find that the Rockstedi with Rapid Fire, silencer, and acog is useful. I don't think the silencer does affect how many bullets it takes on light / medium body types, although heavy's may take in one or 2 more rounds.

Either way, I do agree with you that the FRKN is not a very good gun. It's accurate but you can't hit anyone sprinting.

I agree on that. And also it is rather effective when you lean around corners to shoot snipers. It is pretty effective as a counter sniper weapon with Acog, as you can quickly get up, shoot, and get back down again. The snipers take a little bit longer to focus on their target, so you will win almost every time.

The title explains all of it. I see a lot of people using the Kross, Euston, and Carb-9 and decided to try out the Frkn-3k and Rokstedi. After one match i gave up on both of them because 1: the 3 burster didnt kill my enemy when all three bullets hit my target and 2: the intervals between pull of the trigger is horrible. As for the semi-automatic....its a piece of crap that cant kill anything. I have always been a fan of 3 burst and semi-automatic guns but this making me hate it.

Does anyone have any tips? Have you guys got a ton of kills using these weapons? should they tweak the guns to make it a bit stronger.

well the 3 burst is more of a long range weapon so u should try long range, and yes i use the carb and i can kill a lot (i personally like the carb with the acog dual mag the bottom muzzle attachment and grip) and for long range with the carb use the acog but if ur close the grip will keep the crosshairs small so its pretty dead on

I only use shotguns on my engineer character, they are customised but i just didn't find them more useful than the pistols available at close range without the damage buff

» Thu May 03, 2012 12:33 pm

I always kill a ton with Rokstedi... You never mentioned what range you use it at. I use it at med-long range as was intended. Rapid Fire is helpful too.

In my mind 3 round burst are designed to 1. Use less ammo and 2. Keep you on target and reduce the up creep of the muzzle. So by squeezing off 3 and then taking a very brief pause until your muzzle comes back down on target and squeezing off the next 3 you have a more efficient than full auto shot group.

Both the Rhett and Gerund are good examples of this.

i dont know why people keep [censored]ing about FRKN i love that gun

mostly because its famas. People say its trash that they cant kill anyone with it, well i sure as hell can because i often get Most kills after a match and i never use any red dots because they dont serve any practical purpose if i find the ironsights confortable and easy to use, because all tehy do to me they simply lower the equip speed

, and i only use coga scopes on sniper rifles,

I really enjoy the rokstedi. With the bayonet, COGA/Greeneye, Extended Mags and muzzle break. It's nearly a LR. And the bayonet helps it if you do happen to be in Close.
