I'm "building" an AR-50 for stealth pew-pew so applying the relevant mods for that. However, would you go stability and higher accuracy? Or some other two modifications?
Thanks!
Thanks!
AR-50 mod question
- Thread starter Tyres O'Flaherty
- Start date
Needs headshot damage for sure, stability might help it a little, although the rifles already have the least recoil of all weapons.
AR-50 is a good weapon, but i wouldn't use it for anything stealth related, for reasons
You need to fire it alot to kill someone so there goes the stealth, it's a heavy weapon and will slow you down unless you have Combat movement speed on your Suit
Anyway, Higher Accuracy is needed when you fire it from the hip, which you'll not really want to do.
So, stability all the way
(everything stealth for me is happening around the Audio Masked Executioner and Silenced Tormentor, while fer-the-lulz i also have an Audio Masked L-6)
I still use the Executioner for outdoor stealth kills and the Tormentor for indoor ones. One hit = dead.
Mine is G5, audio masked, scope long range, stability.
Same range profile as the executioner, higher shot speed and useable up close.
It's a lot of Tungsten Carbide and Weapon Components but we'll worth it.

Stability is a must since you usually need multiple to shorts to kill and it lowers recoil a lot. Higher (hip fire) accuracy isn't really necessary when you have stability and there's better uses for that mod slot.
Thanks all!
I do have a couple of weapons designed for stealth - executioner and intimidator. I also have a pre-upgraded P-15 with noise suppressor. Hmm. I'll rethink the purpose of the AR-50 then - I hven't applied anything to it yet.

Oops, no I won't - don't have the engi unlocked for headshot...

I strongly suggest to unlock headshot dmg, its one of best mods to put into kinetic weapons, as its only one that boosts dmg itself. G5 is already plently strong without it, but that mod takes it into another level.Nice. I may try that as I have all the mats needed!

Try find AR-50 with headshot dmg mod installed, but given the time required to find it, a litte luck might be needed. Still, given that colonia can be reached within few hours, that might be viable option after giving up on search.
You can also leave last slot free for that mod as well, once you got 3 others, and put Headdmg mod once you unlock uma laszlo. Again, at G5, a burst into head, still should make it good stealth weapon, provided 3 other mod would be already present.
i think I'll save the mod slots until I can unlock the engi then. I have enough G5'd stuff to be going on with.
Thanks!
(Only 4 SDP's to get and 7 CZ's to complete /faints )

rub it in!
I left it where it was.
I'm to the point where I only buy G3 stuff with two mods (except Opressors, which I usually buy then sell back)...all this testing means my CMDR really gets around and anything less isn't very useful.
well, which means the OP can send you a PM and you may tell him the location and that would make their day?
If asked, I'll answer.
Thanks a lot but I'll be OK. It seems I've done more CZs than I thought and I just need 4 more SDPs to unlock the engi tree.
Personally, I find the Karma C-44 to be the better kinetic weapon (higher damage per shot, faster fire rate, bigger magazine but slightly shorter range) than the AR-50, but both are good.
If you are looking for a stealth kill weapon to kill somebody before they can alert others/sound the alarm, I would recommend engineering a Tormentor as your side arm (noise suppression and audio masking).
I've only engineered my AR-50s, C-44, and TK Apehelion with audio masking. This can still be very effective, even in CZs. The enemy seems to have a hard time figuring out where they're being shot from and will take longer to find you and return fire. It also cuts down on the amount of their friends that realize you've opened fire and return fire on you. Yes, silenced weapons are still very useful even in a non-stealth combat situation.
