Her damage buff is respectable for a 3* handgun, her tile layout… not so much. The X layout will typically make her excel in a 2SG2MG1HG setup. That setup is very niche and won't come up often. Outside of that, her buff tiles force her into a forward position as main or off tank. She's absolutely not suited for this with her poor HP and evade, and her buffs aren't good enough to really justify it mostly. If youre running and RF HG, you want Calico there usually.

Aka StG 77, the ARMEEUNIVERSALGEWEHR.

…another testament to Austrians being fucking crazy:

• Her tiles give slightly weaker buffs than Ribey's or M4A1's, but since she buffs all types, she'll also boost your SMGs, helping both Shrimp and molotovs.
• Her stats are excellent, and she's a damage dealer very close to G11's level.
• Her skill sets her RoF to 150 and basically turns her into an MG (sounds included. Yes, it changes her firing sound to match an MG.), with goofy targeting that you CANNOT CONTROL BY ANY MEANS (Including Contender). At level 10, it will have no accuracy penalty either!

10/10, would suffer awful trigger pull again

Aka M110A1. The military variant of the HK MR308, which is the civilian variant of the HK417, and not parts compatible with either, and needs special 7.62 NATO ammunition, because regular is too mainstream. Thanks a lot, HK.

…ingame, she's a DMG-buffing rifle like Lee-Enfield and M14, with stats somewhere between the two. Harder to get than M14, easier to get than Lee, that's perfectly reasonable and you can put her in a hydra bullying echelon with either.

However, with the multitude of rifles available now, she's definitely outclassed by a lot of them, most notably FN-49 mod and M14 mod. Raise her if you want, since she's not bad but it's a questionable investment with so many other options.

A big bamboo with stats even worse than PTRD, and a pathetic damage multiplier that will keep her useless in the future.

Aka M1887. She's a shotgun, so she will do shotgun things shotgun-y (read: facetank with her armour), but is not particularly impressive at it. Her stats are okay (but worse than Elphelt's), her tile buffs are the weakest of all 5* shotties (and most 4*!)… and her skill is downright useless, because it has a ridiculously long 15 second cooldown, yet its strength depends on the amount of links still alive at that point (which won't be many).

As far as free SGs are concerned, a minor upgrade over 97S if you need armour over buff tiles.

Unfortunately for her, M14 exists and fills the same niche, but better and cheaper.

Does not go ping. Not to be confused with the M1 Garand.

She's a RoF rifle, but her stats are even worse than the only borderline useful G43's. Don't bother.

A product of old design from before the devs really understood what they had going. Mostly notable for her odd aura which gives colossal accuracy boost, but her stats are kinda eh and you end up with an overall DPS loss still. A fairly meh grenade and basically the sort of sort of thing that would be useful for an early player, except at 21 days in at least, you probably have better already (Hint; You do, you should have AR team by then).

A Christmas tree! Will be her primary job at your base probably. Suffers from the curse of an MG that lacks a passive, a first burst-active like hunting impulse, or usefulness during the day. She has a unique that makes her better than MG4, which is... not saying much. Unfortunately that unique is also no longer available.

She's... not great. Basically a worse Suomi with slightly better base evade, a rather worse multiplier, and considerably worse HP. Her tiles aren't great either. Actually worse than MP5 once MP5's milk tin is taken into account. Buffs aren't anything to write home about either. Given you should be trying to get the UMP sisters early on anyway, you're better off with cheaper tanks until you get those.

Known on other servers as 5 cores .

She has marginally stronger performance to 9A-91 despite her significantly higher bases due to her considerably lower FP buff. You're honestly better off using daylight ARs at night rather than working on her due to cost.

Crit buff generally doesn't help much at night for ARs not named STAR15 or SOPMOD (unless you're doing something weird), and her FP boost isn't enough improvement over a day AR to make it worth your trouble. Even worse, Crit is calculated AFTER armor, so that makes her double sad.

Her skill consists of two parts:

• Make her use rifle targeting (backline priority): Not all that useful – if the backline really is dangerous, you want it killed now, not after six seconds, and better bring actual rifles or fairies to deal with it.
• Buff herself: Her stats are good to begin with, and the buff is beefy – this makes her an excellent AR for all purposes.

She's stronger than most 5* ARs (including G41), but doesn't quite make the cut to AUG/AR-15/G11 levels of damage output; at night she's one of the more useful daylight ARs due to her high firepower and accuracy self-buff. (But, again, outclassed by the night royalty.)

Overall solid, but not amazing, with a mostly useless gimmick. Her biggest problem is AR power creep, she'll be outclassed further down the line, which makes her not much of a priority now.

Like SVD but with +Acc and lower +RoF. Really wants to be used in the 7 position. You might find a use if you still lack either SVD or WA2000 or if you really hate high EVA targets.

This goes in particular for gundams, who have armour and evasion, at night. Grape, M200 or even Kar98k are vastly preferred, but T5000 is much easier to get, so YMMV.

She has good stats. Like... seriously, some of the best raw stats on an SG. Since most SGs get by on stats alone instead of their skill, this gives her a nice leg up.

On top of that she has a nuke skill that... honestly doesnt usually come up, but when it does, it's pretty much the biggest nuke on a shotgun you get (2 hits for 8x vs primary, 12x area around primary). As a bonus, if the first shot kills the primary, the secondary BOOM changes targets (uses standard grenade targeting). Note that due to her ammo and reload speeds, if you want to fire the first nuke immediately, you will likely need to reload cancel her.

Imagine how bad Noel was at her lowest point in her own series. ...Now imagine its worse.

Somehow arguably less useful than P7 who has similar tiles, and her skill is kind of awful. She's a perfect storm of not being particularly good at any 1 thing while also not being really acceptable at any of them. Also she jumps forward during her skill.

This can have unexpectedly bad effects on enemy positioning sometimes, including units... uh.. simply walking past her, to the map edge, which makes you lose. There are arguably some scenarios where she's useful, but those are... niche to the extreme and honestly if you're one of the people who CAN pull those off, you dont need me to explain anything to you.
