So yeah, the HK416, the weapon that came with the 1.1.3 update for r2da

it's alright i guess,

no really,

it isn't.

STATS

All stats on this gun are the same as the thompson with a few things changed around. The thing I like best about the HK is its RPM, it being 600. It feels suprisingly satisfying to shoot at zombies. Like I said, all stats are equal to the thompson, and I favor that gun. However, we get to the downsides.

DOWNSIDES

There's no reason to have this weapon, other than if you collect weapons. The thompson is equal to the HK, even better in some places. Another reason not to get this is the rank. Say you started out new and got around 18k, enough for the thompson, but then you see the new weapon, it looks awesome, you should get it right? Wrong. Again (i know i've repeated the same thing) thompson has the same stats and better compared to the HK. It's also a lower rank, making it easier to get once you ranked up. After you get the thompson, there's no point in getting the HK because it has worse stats than the thompson. Another downside with this weapon is the ammo. 16/1, seriously? You're going to chew through ammo way to fast, and the only way to get extra clips is through vests.

MY OPINIONS ON BUFFS FOR HK416 

Buffing the ammo to around 30/25 and one clip would actually make it usable, so it isn't worse than lower rank guns or better than higher rank guns

PERSONAL OPINIONS

At this point, you really shouldn't get this gun. Get the thompson instead. Yes, while the thompson has a lower RPM than the HK, its downsides are overshadowed by its positives. Cheaper price so you can afford it, lower rank so it's easier to get, the same stats as the HK, and higher ammo capacity than it.

PERSONAL OPINIONS, COMMENTS, QUESTIONS?

You can put them all in the reply section. Any mistakes? Put them below, i'll try to fix it as much as possible so that it looks presentable.

TL:DR

HK416 is trash and should be buffed with either 25/1 or 30/1. At this point Thompson is better, use that for now.
