SMG Howling
The final prize of an extremely frustrating final week of an event, the SMG Howling had better be up to standard. Despite its coveted status as a machine gun with flawless agility, the SMG Howling is overshadowed by another event weapon released earlier, the Stig Rifle.
Though the SMG Howling is faster paced, the Stig Rifle is the better weapon for a significant reason: range. The SMG Howling has a very quick and very noticeable damage dropoff at ranges the Stig Rifle reaches easily. While the extra agility is nice, it isn't a worthy trade-off for the range, which forces the SMG Howling to become a direct competitor with shotgun weapon which kill faster than it does. The Stig Rifle is near identical to this weapon in damage and accuracy, but trumps it once again with clip size. While SMG Howling is rather outclassed and may not be worth your time, that isn't to say that it's a bad weapon. Its damage output is very respectable and gives players little time to react. Its fast pace also makes it very fun to play with. Its numerous shortcomings simply make it less efficient of a weapon than some of the other options available. |
