Maximum Shooting Rate: 300 rounds per minute
Effective Range: 250m
Level Requirement: 45
Overall Evaluation: Excellent
On a slope covered in vegetation that was seven to eight meters high, Big Pineapple was half-crouched as he observed a thicket more than a dozen meters below the hill with a pair of military binoculars.
Beside him, Feng Luo was adjusting the gray submachine gun that he had obtained from the elite rebel army Reconnoiter. It looked similar to an MP5.
Death Messenger!
Feng Luo was no stranger to that name. During the mission at the Town of Exile where they had to surround and kill the rebel army commander at the Dark Moon Valley, Dan Hen from the Veterans Tribe used this type of submachine gun.
However, his was a modified type with Perfect Evaluation. Its shooting rate had been increased to a shocking 350 per minute
The submachine gun and a.s.sault rifle were both main mid-range weapons that Scouts could use, but there was a clear distinction between the two. In general, an a.s.sault rifle would have a greater attack range and could reach over 300 meters. At the same time, its attack would also be higher. The maximum attack range of the submachine gun would be less impressive, normally reaching about 200 meters. Its attack would also be lower. However, compared to an a.s.sault rifle, a submachine gun had a much faster shooting rate, and it could even be double its rate.
This Death Messenger was a cla.s.sic example of a weapon with a high shooting rate. 300 rounds per minute meant that a 50 round magazine would be emptied in just ten seconds in extreme circ.u.mstances.
Of course, players wouldn’t normally do that since the recoil from continuous shooting would definitely make the latter part of the shooting s.h.i.+ft from its mark. That would be the case unless the player was incredibly familiar with the changes the gun would make and could adjust it accordingly while shooting.
However, to Feng Luo, the biggest problem of the third hot weapon in his hand wasn’t this. It was the ammunition. The bullets in War of the same caliber of the same type of guns were interchangeable. The bullets of handguns, machine guns, and sniper rifles, all used the same production standard, so as long as the caliber was the same, they could be used. However, the bullets of different gun types could not be used interchangeably. For example, although they were both 12.7mm, the Barrett could not use the bullets of the Tyrant. As such, Feng Luo was faced with a huge problem, and it was that there were only 19 bullets in the magazine of the submachine gun, which was less than half its magazine.
This amount of bullets won’t even last a little bit in a battle.
Feng Luo shook his head and put the Death Messenger back into his backpack. Due to the limitation of the ammunition, he could only temporarily use it when it was necessary. Or perhaps it was better to say that he would have to think up ways to get his hands on more submachine gun bullets.
But it is actually possible to get my hands on a large number of bullets!
Feng Luo thought about the supply point and the airdrop supply that the black-s.h.i.+rt military officer had mentioned.
Generally speaking, it should not only drop food. It was possible ammunition and energy core crystals, and other consumables were also dropped. After all, normal NPCs would not have backpacks that could pack food like players.
In fact, even if it were a player, they would still have to fight for the supplies since Feng Luo discovered earlier that the extra food that exceeded 10% of the backpack’s capacity could not be unlocked.
Supply point… Airdrop. By then, a lot of people would probably have been killed. Clearly, this is also the organizer’s objective…”
Feng Luo thought carefully, but his eyes s.h.i.+fted to the eye-catching black tactical gloves in his hands.
Black Eagle (Tactical Glove)
Grade: Rare
Defense +53
Defense Coefficient: C+
Agility + 8
Strength +7
Unique Attributes: Reduce endurance consumption by 30% when climbing, decreases body weight by 25% when climbing
Level Requirement: 40
Overall Evaluation: Excellent
The pair of tactical gloves had been dropped by a Scout player who was killed earlier. One had to admit that the attributes of the gloves were really good. It increased agility and strength, two basic stats that were very useful for Scouts. The pair of gloves also had the rare attribute of reducing endurance consumption and bodyweight when climbing. It could help save a lot of energy when climbing, which was particularly good for Scouts.
There was another reason why the gloves were very valuable. It was the most important reason. The Defense Coefficient of the glove reached the C+ grade. This was a level that even many Heavy Armor Warrior s.h.i.+elds couldn’t even reach. With such a high defense coefficient, theoretically speaking, this glove could hold the blade of a dagger in melee combat. If the attack coefficient of the military knife itself was insufficient, it could not pierce through this pair of gloves. With this glove, Feng Luo even wanted to try catching a blade with his bare hands. However, he didn’t know if he would have the chance to do so.
“Old Feng, you sure that guy will hide here? Don’t make a mistake and waste our time! After all, we still have other choices right now!” Big Pineapple said to Feng Luo while scanning the surroundings with the military binoculars in his hands.
“Relax! It will be half a minute more. Before the next announcement is made, he’ll definitely s.h.i.+ft position!”
Feng Luo extended his hands and pulled a large pair of heavy black gla.s.ses from the top of his head down to cover his eyes. After that, along with Big Pineapple, he also started to check a few suspicious locations.
After meeting up with Big Pineapple, the two of them planned to continue “killing people” without any fear so that they would have enough kill points to play this game to the end. After all, although they didn’t really lack gears, when it came to kill points, the more, the merrier! After all, Haruko seemed to have secretly hinted that the kill points were connected to the special agent examination mission. Feng Luo also needed to collect 1,500 kill points to unlock his true killer weapon, the 24K.
The rare gear that he was now wearing in front of his eyes also came from the unlucky players and NPCs whom he had killed earlier.
Night Eagle – Type Three (Tactical Gla.s.ses)
Grade: Rare
Defense +41
Defense Coefficient: D-
Agility + 10
Level Requirement: 38
Rare Unique Attributes: Increases effective range of Detection by 20%!
Overall Evaluation: Normal
Tactical Gla.s.ses and helmets were both headgears. Unlike helmets, tactical gla.s.ses weren’t completely defensive equipment. They were more like pieces of equipment with a detection function. Their scanning and a.n.a.lysis functions, as well as other embedded abilities, made it possible for them to identify monsters and observe enemy information.
This function was very similar to the sniping scope of the Sniper; however, in comparison, there was a slight difference. In most circ.u.mstances, Snipers used headgears to increase their defense, and Scouts would generally use tactical gla.s.ses to enhance observations.
However, Feng Luo still hadn’t unlocked his headgear, so the tactical gla.s.ses that one of the “preys,” a gunner, dropped became the replacement for his defensive headgear.
In truth, among the over 50 spoils of war they had collected earlier, these two weren’t the only Rare Grade pieces of equipment. The only issue was that the rest of the items were for other professions, and the only things that suited him, a gunner, were these two.
As for equipment below Excellent Grade, there was no need to mention them.
After Feng Luo put on the tactical gla.s.ses, he quickly locked his gaze onto a particular spot. Then, he said to Big Pineapple, who was beside him, “11 o’clock. Beside that swamp. The guy has already appeared. You’re not thorough enough in your observations!”
Big Pineapple moved his binoculars towards the direction Feng Luo mentioned and exclaimed, “Eh? You’re right!”
As a warrior, although he could also use the binoculars among the spoils of war, he was still a lot weaker than Feng Luo when it came to searching out targets
However, as a fragile gunner, even if Feng Luo’s HP was no longer that much less than a Light Armor Warrior after the enhancement from his Evolution Talent and the Enhancement Potion, his defense was still a lot weaker than Big Pineapple’s.
The two of them actually worked very well together. In this game, if they coordinated well, they would definitely be able to produce a multiplication effect, especially because the clumsy-looking Big Pineapple also possessed an S-grade talent.
