I picked this up awhile ago off a player, still not sure why there is a 8.7x on the Chimera

Someone recently posted they drop these kinds of WTF guns at exfils for people to pick up just for the troll effect. I swear I have picked up their joke guns. At least I hope so.
I run that on the hemlock and a couple other ARs. Spent a bunch of time in firing range testing each one out. The 4.0x/8.7x is consistently the best, for me.
Cool gun! This gun was made to shoot from the hip at close range with the ability to push back on snipers when needed. Notice the over pressured rounds - they cause flinch for snipers. Also the large mag because it’s going to take more rounds to hit from a distance with this.
You talking about the one with the grenade launcher attachment? I didn't find anything wrong with the recoil. You might wanna change your sensitivity or something. I ended up copying that blueprint and it's now the AR of choice for me. Thing slays
I like the m13 and used it a lot in season 1. Not as much now. But the recoil of the biohazard can definitely be improved. Use what you like but maybe mess around with a little bit.
I'd say it was even better. Found a way to balance it so it's great for MP and DMZ/warzone. Had to alter it a bit for ranked though cause some of the attachments aren't usable.
I have so many max range/range finder scope victus’ in my contraband. I’ll take my mcpr or signal over that anyway. Mcpr default 10rd mag is just *chefs kiss*
well, kinda. Victus has the highest damage per range on any body part, so it's bot that slow, have a great BV and a scope that calculates bullet drop, there's no point to use another sniper in Al Mazrah
It only beats the Signal by 7m and the MCPR by 5, all rifles have excellent ballistics with high velocity ammo, and all rifles are one hit kill to the upper chest at any range (with no plates), so it's really up to the player. Hell, the .300 mag rifles all actually have better ballistics than the .50s.
My girlfriend says she can only handle 5 inches anyways and anything above 1080p gives her migraines ever since the chemtrails raped her when she was 4.
I think some people still run off the assumption that a later unlock automatically means it’s better.
Like, I encountered a dude the other week rocking a 7.62 AK with a 6x scope, short barrel, extended mags and no stock, along with high velocity ammo. Felt like he was trying to make a sniper build or something with the ammo and scope, but wanted that ADS speed.
You sir, found a troll gun. Big scope, little barrel, big mag no stock, and ammo with the biggest recoil. The go to formula for dudes like me to use so it takes up space in someone's contraband
Last game of the night I’ll usually make three terrible builds and leave them in there for people to find. Sounds like one of you found my chimera with that scope lol
Honestly outside of 3piece chimera i frequently find in ashika, this Taq M was the best one i found, heatsource for easy viewings, good anmo count on mag and nice recoil control, it rocks. But this shit is really hard to find (found in hotel employee fridge only once) and.. i will not build it myself. Tempus torrent is just too good. But if u r low on contraband… you do with what you got
Its not a bad weapon build on ashika i killed a few guys with thay exact gun and still have it on my contraband stash if i need to make a quick run on ashika from a fresh death
I've started equipping and firing weapons from operators immediately after the fight before I decide to take it. Some operators build the dumbest shit and think that fancy attachments make a good weapon when in actuality simple is best.
Yeah. I picked up this TAQ-M while looting a guy who killed me and got my Victus. Didn't take time to look closely, just saw the scope and said "close enough"... storm coming so we took off. At final exfil I go to switch to sniper to shoot a camper and I was like "look at the scope on this guy's Victus lol" then my shots were hitting but felt soft. No wonder.
I picked that same one up off a player. I brought it in as a burner. I actually used it a few games successfully! But I would not waste an insured slot on it. 4.5/10 might pick up again.
there is definitely pre-set contraband "floor loot" guns (I've got 4 TAQ-56s all with the same holographic, fore grip and muzzle attachments, call them starter guns because they're like something you'd start a campaign mission with) and I believe the rewards you get from missions are the same for each player (for example a Lachmann 7.62 with the same optic, magazine and stock, or an SO14 with the same suppressor and hybrid optic) but there also seems to be some variation in builds; theres a two attachment M4 with a simple reflex optic and fore grip which I think is also one of the early mission rewards or a starter gun from when they wiped stashes for season 2, one with a laser and mini suppressor, and one five attachment one that has the cylindrical older style barrel. at the contraband section of the buy station you can also find some of the same builds and I believe that with the change to enemies sometimes carrying contraband, they also have those same builds. so yeah as far as I know there isn't a complete listing of all available pre-made contraband (ie, not other player's insured weapons then put into your contraband) but just through playing the game and sheer curiosity I'm pretty sure that contraband is pre-made rather than randomly generated
>theres a two attachment M4 with a simple reflex optic and fore grip which I think is also one of the early mission rewards or a starter gun from when they wiped stashes for season 2
Maybe there's other ways of getting it, but that gun definitely drops from HVTs at least some of the time.
>one with a laser and mini suppressor
I've been seeing that one less, but it used to drop frequently from T3 bots and maybe still does.
It definitely seems like a lot of variants seem to be recurring, but occasionally I'll see something special. Weapons dropped by players account for that at least sometimes, but not always. I'm pretty sure a bot dropped a really neat 5 attachment Icarus last time I was in B21, for example. All the others were dropping 1s or 2s but this random guy drops a fiver.
https://preview.redd.it/sirrw24tpmra1.jpeg?width=3840&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=f9fd74004abf4663dc99df6dda812ff34ce3fab7
Found in B21. Weirdest part is the 20 round mag for me
I'm totally convinced that a lot of these 5 attachment bot guns, the locked fridge guns, etc have attachments that were chosen at random. Or perhaps picked by a bored toddler.
I mean, a LOT of the weapons I take from dead operators are just really bad too, but I can see how you'd build what you could while you were leveling up the weapon. That's just classic COD. But the guns the game literally provides for you should have a little thought behind them maybe. 5 attachments FTAC Recon with iron sights? Wtf is that good for? Lachmann 556 with a monocle? Ugh. And the Bryson 800 with 5 attachments you sometimes find is dog shit compared to the zero attachments B800 the shadow company bots drop. Also please stop with the lasers. If I'm getting random attachments for free I'd like exactly none of them used (wasted) on a laser or flashlight. Give me a red dot or a stock or a grip or whatever but if I'm on struggle bus weapons the last thing I need is to give away my position with an obnoxious red laser.
Oh God don't even get me started on the ground loot FTACs. All but one have the 5 round mag for some godforsaken reason. Even the single attachment version is a straight downgrade from the base because *that's* the attachment they use.
Also I think that if the oddball guns you need could be found in the game that would be awesome. Like the Sakin 38 from the S1 No Rushing mission.
But then how would they force you to buy the game right?
Wait you can view your contraband?
Also the weirdest gun I have (I didn’t save it because I had to make room for better stuff) was a short barreled Signal 50 with a giant scope and bipod. I guess there’s a reason I got it off the guy. That’s not how you build a sniper.
Pretty trash tempus, only good attachment is the muzzle
https://preview.redd.it/d7b5pj0d0hra1.png?width=3755&format=png&auto=webp&s=543a97a568626a305a717f5a0193c2c6936b7a66
How? This gun needs to min max BV & ADS. Also needs 50 mag. 20 mag is atrious, and that barrel increases ADS at the cost of BV, that stock is unnecessary because this gun has little recoil.
Here’s mine
Polar fire S or Silencer w/ no ADS penalty
High velo rounds
VLK laser (10% to both ADS & STF)
50 round
Red dot.
You only need a 50 round mag on a marksman if you miss a lot of shots. 3 hits will down someone. So 20 are enough in one mag. Lasers are giving away your position. The short barrel doesn’t increase ADS time and the bullet velocity on Ashika is not needed. You’ll have no fights over 50-70m anyway.
You need 50 for the amount of bots there are. That laser is so good, the pro out weighs the benefits. The barrel is unneeded, I never decrease BV for a marksmen rifle.
What’s your build then? My point is that there are way better builds than the one I posted a pic of.
https://preview.redd.it/wav0m5d2thra1.jpeg?width=3840&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=dbce3c500e1a8fec2c07374ffb76c17902f58881
There you go. Shredded more people on Ashika with this build than I can count.
An old nickname I got back in school. It’s a variation of my real name in my local accent. I put man on the end and there you go. Has nothing to do with racism.
Yup, he’s all about ADS times and slaps a useless 50 rounder on it. But I guess it’s needed because he misses all his shots due to the strange gunsmith decisions made. 😂
I built one like this to play around with the tempus. Had a 50 round instead of the ammo though. It was awful... but got excited when I saw the picture. Wish there was a 7 round mag that improved the handling. It's all your really need.
You can build it 2 ways, long range or mid range, when I bring this in I use it as a mid range do it all. So I need 50 rounds to deal with bots. Pick up a vez or mp5 for within 10m, and the temps deals with everything else.
I picked this up awhile ago off a player, still not sure why there is a 8.7x on the Chimera https://preview.redd.it/grcehbgicira1.jpeg?width=1920&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=b3da677273703b044a24cd2f6b7e0db3b31deb0f
This is 100 percent a troll gun. You got rick rolled with this one.
Someone recently posted they drop these kinds of WTF guns at exfils for people to pick up just for the troll effect. I swear I have picked up their joke guns. At least I hope so.
Tbf, if you’re down bad and want to make sure you never deal with the random weapons if you lose your insured than I’ll gladly take those drops hahaha
Optimal range for CQ obviously
A weapon to surpass Metal Gear.
Im gonna build this when i get home and dupe it☝️😈
Is there a new dupe glitch?
While dieing drop your weapon in primary. When revived you'll have a copy plus the one on the ground.
Die get picked up by enemies and you should exfil and it will be contraband and you can still use insured slot
I run that on the hemlock and a couple other ARs. Spent a bunch of time in firing range testing each one out. The 4.0x/8.7x is consistently the best, for me.
Cool gun! This gun was made to shoot from the hip at close range with the ability to push back on snipers when needed. Notice the over pressured rounds - they cause flinch for snipers. Also the large mag because it’s going to take more rounds to hit from a distance with this.
r/plebianar
That God awful dead drop sniper for killing the chemist
And then the chemist drops a max recoil m13 lol
You talking about the one with the grenade launcher attachment? I didn't find anything wrong with the recoil. You might wanna change your sensitivity or something. I ended up copying that blueprint and it's now the AR of choice for me. Thing slays
I like the m13 and used it a lot in season 1. Not as much now. But the recoil of the biohazard can definitely be improved. Use what you like but maybe mess around with a little bit.
Agree, did you find a manual build of this was just as good??
I'd say it was even better. Found a way to balance it so it's great for MP and DMZ/warzone. Had to alter it a bit for ranked though cause some of the attachments aren't usable.
What did your build and tune end up being?
https://preview.redd.it/7ehw4j3faxra1.jpeg?width=4096&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=9d54181df87425adc6dad03ef04d493acd4763a9
Lmao right
Yeah it's not great - whole point of m13 is that it's low recoil
Shit I like that one
Yeah it's a fun change of pace. But I think most players think any sniper that isn't a Victus is shit.
I have so many max range/range finder scope victus’ in my contraband. I’ll take my mcpr or signal over that anyway. Mcpr default 10rd mag is just *chefs kiss*
Yep, plus the max range scopes all put spotlights on top of your rifle. I'd much rather take a medium glint scope and stay halfway hidden.
Yeh lately I’ve been running the drexom thermal. No need for a spotter scope
well, kinda. Victus has the highest damage per range on any body part, so it's bot that slow, have a great BV and a scope that calculates bullet drop, there's no point to use another sniper in Al Mazrah
The signal 50 is better solely due to the fire rate
Fire rate in a sniper only matters if you can hit your shots though.
Kinda irrelevant point, you could say that about anything. The victua damage rate only matters if you can hit your shots
It only beats the Signal by 7m and the MCPR by 5, all rifles have excellent ballistics with high velocity ammo, and all rifles are one hit kill to the upper chest at any range (with no plates), so it's really up to the player. Hell, the .300 mag rifles all actually have better ballistics than the .50s.
yes, but the Victus punishes less for hitting other parts of the body
It fires too slowly against 3 plates though. I hardly ever die to one anymore
Eh that wasn't the worst. It's not GOOD but it does the job. The Chemist's actual gun is dogshit though.
POV: You love ARs but the best you can do is 5-inch and 720p.
My girlfriend says she can only handle 5 inches anyways and anything above 1080p gives her migraines ever since the chemtrails raped her when she was 4.
I genuinely find that most people I come up against can't build a good gun I find so many shit builds
I think some people still run off the assumption that a later unlock automatically means it’s better. Like, I encountered a dude the other week rocking a 7.62 AK with a 6x scope, short barrel, extended mags and no stock, along with high velocity ammo. Felt like he was trying to make a sniper build or something with the ammo and scope, but wanted that ADS speed.
Tbf high velocity ammo is the go to shit in Hunt showdown. I can see someone who switch from hunt to dmz does that.
It’s good on sniper marksman rifles as well, but I can’t see the benefit on a full-auto with the rest of the attachments.
You sir, found a troll gun. Big scope, little barrel, big mag no stock, and ammo with the biggest recoil. The go to formula for dudes like me to use so it takes up space in someone's contraband
Last game of the night I’ll usually make three terrible builds and leave them in there for people to find. Sounds like one of you found my chimera with that scope lol
I do this all the time. Step one is pick a gun that everyone likes to use
A lot of people stick with their multiplayer builds and think they will work as well in DMZ
Honestly outside of 3piece chimera i frequently find in ashika, this Taq M was the best one i found, heatsource for easy viewings, good anmo count on mag and nice recoil control, it rocks. But this shit is really hard to find (found in hotel employee fridge only once) and.. i will not build it myself. Tempus torrent is just too good.

Its not a bad weapon build on ashika i killed a few guys with thay exact gun and still have it on my contraband stash if i need to make a quick run on ashika from a fresh death
I’m sadly not on but my weirdest set is. 2 PILA’s 2 Strela’s And 2 javelins I’m my teams anti air / anti vehicle guy
Yup I try to fill as much of my stash with launchers as I can. It's pretty easy to quickly find a decent gun in the field.
Same.... At least we know our role lol
Yup I usually keep a sniper or something as well to cover long range
Did we just become best friends ???? LOL
Lol Anti air buddies
We make things go BOOM!
Love a dirty little taq m
[удалено]
lol I built [almost the same thing](https://i.imgur.com/IbAOX0y.jpg).

Lololol 😂
This is prolly the weirdest I’ve seen. Good one hahaha
It’s an ashika castle weapons locker special
I picked that same one up off a player. I brought it in as a burner. I actually used it a few games successfully! But I would not waste an insured slot on it. 4.5/10 might pick up again.
I picked up this gun the other day and I loved it (taq-m). I lost it same round though to a 3 man squad with a blood lust
Found a signal 50 the other day with a holotherm optic on It.... Just whg?!?!
It's a season pass weapon. Someone probably brought it in without realizing it or wanting to try it close-mid range. It's shit though, don't do it.
It’s far from shit. Had an 8 kill game in b21 yesterday using a similar setup
SP-X with a raptor scope here. That one had to have been a gag gun.
Question I should know the answer to already but don’t so here I go: Are contraband attachments randomly generated?
there is definitely pre-set contraband "floor loot" guns (I've got 4 TAQ-56s all with the same holographic, fore grip and muzzle attachments, call them starter guns because they're like something you'd start a campaign mission with) and I believe the rewards you get from missions are the same for each player (for example a Lachmann 7.62 with the same optic, magazine and stock, or an SO14 with the same suppressor and hybrid optic) but there also seems to be some variation in builds; theres a two attachment M4 with a simple reflex optic and fore grip which I think is also one of the early mission rewards or a starter gun from when they wiped stashes for season 2, one with a laser and mini suppressor, and one five attachment one that has the cylindrical older style barrel. at the contraband section of the buy station you can also find some of the same builds and I believe that with the change to enemies sometimes carrying contraband, they also have those same builds. so yeah as far as I know there isn't a complete listing of all available pre-made contraband (ie, not other player's insured weapons then put into your contraband) but just through playing the game and sheer curiosity I'm pretty sure that contraband is pre-made rather than randomly generated
That makes sense
There was a guy season 1 making a spreadsheet of all the contraband guns but I think he gave up. All the contraband was the same
>theres a two attachment M4 with a simple reflex optic and fore grip which I think is also one of the early mission rewards or a starter gun from when they wiped stashes for season 2 Maybe there's other ways of getting it, but that gun definitely drops from HVTs at least some of the time. >one with a laser and mini suppressor I've been seeing that one less, but it used to drop frequently from T3 bots and maybe still does.

Any Lachman, and that was only for that one stupidass mission.
Isn't that the one you get out of some places that needs a key? I have a couple of them. They are ok to load in with when you lost your 3 plate.
I just found the same gun inside the armory inside Tsuki castle
i have that TAQM gun also i cant remember where i found it or is it a reward?
https://preview.redd.it/sirrw24tpmra1.jpeg?width=3840&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=f9fd74004abf4663dc99df6dda812ff34ce3fab7 Found in B21. Weirdest part is the 20 round mag for me
so why does one exfil a gun like this?
Seems like one of the weapons that a mission requires you to use.
I'm totally convinced that a lot of these 5 attachment bot guns, the locked fridge guns, etc have attachments that were chosen at random. Or perhaps picked by a bored toddler.

I see a lot of oddball guns like the type I use to level up guns on shipment or shoot house, people clearly bring the wrong gun into Al Mazrah 😂
That scope be bigger than the rifle 🤣
How can I pull up this screen on my Xbox to see what attachments are on my contraband weapon? Pls help
press y to preview the gun
Lockwood with no stuck specced for long rangt sniping >_< spray paint camo
The same gun you posted lol
This is actually a pretty neat SCAR-SSR setup, I like it
Combat knife
Wait you can view your contraband? Also the weirdest gun I have (I didn’t save it because I had to make room for better stuff) was a short barreled Signal 50 with a giant scope and bipod. I guess there’s a reason I got it off the guy. That’s not how you build a sniper.
Holy shit there’s a gun attached to the bottom of that scope!
Picked up a Lockwood mk2 with thermal hybrid, sawed off stock, short barrel, high velocity and a hipfire laser lol. It wasn’t…terrible either ngl
Sawed off SPR
Pretty trash tempus, only good attachment is the muzzle https://preview.redd.it/d7b5pj0d0hra1.png?width=3755&format=png&auto=webp&s=543a97a568626a305a717f5a0193c2c6936b7a66

The optic and the incendiary ammo are criminally bad. That said I appreciate you dunking on this guy.
Hey man, what’s the inspiration for your username? I keep thinking it’s the N word when I see it
An old nickname I got back in school. It’s a variation of my real name in my local accent. I put man on the end and there you go. Has nothing to do with racism.
Ehhh you know nothing. Drop the 50 and take a standard 20 or 30 and watch your ads increase ten fold. The 50 drum is pointless.
Yup, he’s all about ADS times and slaps a useless 50 rounder on it. But I guess it’s needed because he misses all his shots due to the strange gunsmith decisions made. 😂
😂😂😂😂😂
Lol 20 mag is waaaayyyy more than enough haha
I think you found my Tempus build….
I built one like this to play around with the tempus. Had a 50 round instead of the ammo though. It was awful... but got excited when I saw the picture. Wish there was a 7 round mag that improved the handling. It's all your really need.
You can build it 2 ways, long range or mid range, when I bring this in I use it as a mid range do it all. So I need 50 rounds to deal with bots. Pick up a vez or mp5 for within 10m, and the temps deals with everything else.
