Alright so I’ve heard from some members on here that the Carbine is sub-par constituent of the multiplayer arsenal because it is a 7sk. I beg to differ because of it’s rapid fire and precision. It is my second-most used weapon in the game (after the ghost :P) and would be my most used weapon but I JUST started using it yesterday (yet to play today) and I’ve used the ghost since I’ve started playing. The carbine entails my highest k/d spread for a weapon (+53 spread versus +44 spread with the ghost or +41 spread with the plasma grenade).
My k/d spread overall is 1.44 (around 1.6 for slayer) so I think my opinion somewhat reputable.
I honestly haven’t used it much yet in the multiplayer and that’s only because having picked it up a few times during the campaign it felt like I was shooting ping pong balls. So, it’s a 7sk? No way that it can compete with the other weapons then, that’s a bit dissapointing to hear.
If I was to write a list of things 343 should include in the next TU, a 7sk Carbine would be at the top of it (next to a tweaked JiP system).
Because it is 8sk, it’s high RoF is still not fast enough to outpace the DMR. You can only defeat a DMR if you get the first 2 shots off before your opponent starts firing or he misses at least 2 of his shots.
