Mag: Tactics and Strategies

[mi_ramfan]

SVER is different from the other PMCs in one crucial way: SVER really only has one good assault rifle in their arsenal: The Tamsen Mk 2. That is not to say the other ARs are unusable: they're useable, but only the Tamsen can compete with Raven's Gotha and ATAC and Valor's SFCR twins. SVER's ARs have above average DPB

Let's start out with the guns, as usual:

Ak-74 (T1)

Loadout Cost-5c   Damage: medium   RoF: slow   Stability: medium-low   Clip Size: 30

The Ak-74, like most T1 ARs, is really only good if you have nothing else to use or you want to use more equipment than usual. However, it has good SMG-like qualities that you can abuse up close.

AG-94 (T2)

Loadout Cost-7c   Damage: medium-high   RoF: medium-slow   stability: medium-low  clip size: 30

The AG-94 is a decent weapon that is largely outclassed by the Tamsen Mk 2, but it is useable for those who have not yet bought Escalation. AG-94s are great for close range firefights, just like their predecessors.

AK-103 (T3)

Loadout Cost-8c   Damage: high   RoF: medium-slow   stability: low   clip size: 25

The AK-103 is a decent support weapon, but everything it does well is done better by another gun. The Tamsen has a larger magazine, less c cost, and better RoF and stability, making it better for close range. The R-553 has much more stability and accuracy, making it better for counter-sniping. Unless you want power at the expense of everything else, leave this gun on the rack.

Tamsen Mk-2 (T2 DLC)

Loadout Cost-6c   Damage: medium-high   Rof: medium  stability: medium   clip size: 45

The Tamsen is the best AR in SVER's possession. It has the power and RoF of the AG-94, and the c cost of the Ak-74 molded together. The combination is a SFCR-LW that costs less c than the SFCR, negating some key weaknesses. The Tamsen is a must buy all around weapon for all SVER AR users. It may even be worth buying Escalation just to use this gun.

Builds

Generally, a SVER AR user should focus on CQC more than other factions, to maximize their weapon's strengths. However, all assault rifle builds are balanced by nature, so build however you desire.

Classes

Demolition Specialist

Ak-74: GL, reflex

pistol

medkit

frags

RPG

med armor

The infamous explosive spammer that is this class makes a return on SVER. The AK-74 allows you to fit medium armor into the class, at the obvious cost of protection.

Silenced Attacker

Tamsen Mk-2: silencer, reflex, foregrip

pistol

medkit

frag

RPG

light+ armor

Another derivative of common Valor and Raven classes, this class is in its best form because of the Tamsen's extra punch.

Tank Tamsen

Tamsen Mk-2: foregrip, silencer, 4x

pistol

medkit

tank armor (12c)

This class is simply an excuse to run around in heavy armor with a tamsen. You can sacrifice the extra 2c and downgrade to standard heavy armor, allowing you to carry acoustic locator or smoke grenade.

Fraggas

Tamsen Mk-2: foregrip, silencer

pistol

medkit

frag

gas

light+

This class allows you to blind a room's population with gas, then kill the occupants with frags before they can escape. Especially useful in rooms with only one or two exits.

Counter-Snipe

Ak-103: 4x, foregrip

pistol

medkit

acoustic locator

sensor jammer

medium armor

Pretty much a standard counter sniping class.

That's all for the SVER AR guide, and for the AR series. If you want more for different classes or playstyles, post on one of the threads!

I miss my old n00b-ninja loadouts with an AK 74u silenced, red dot, motion tracker and medium armor. Can't do it without advanced stealth anymore

I had to leave SVER. The only part of their maps I ever saw was the attackers red line :/
