How are people Modding FRC Saws?

[theryanbecker]

I just got a decent Saw and have a couple of good mods. Are people using the 3 rd burst on these and are they using faster reloads or larger mags for the mag mod? What about Falloff dmg vs increased damage? I'm highly confused and have little to work with. Thanks

Barrel - Falloff (for looks) +.07 damage is shtako IMO
Mag - You can go either with 127rounds or 3.5reload
Stock - Recoil Stock hand down...it maybe a purple rag duct taped to the stock but it makes a hell of a difference
Scope - dont...just dont...

My Honest Opinion...

Avoid scopes though, they don't seem to make a difference. I don't even think they work probably as they should aka they are bugged.

ALSO! the stats I mentioned above are for tier 3 mods, you can use Tier 1s to get a feel for it, but u wont notice much of a difference until Tier 2

also getting your weapon skill up helps A LOT too. they may seem like little improvements but i got my AR skill maxed and with all the bonuses stacked with my tier 3 mods it is amazing!

I personally don't mind a scope since I use Overcharge with my LMG'S and that reduces recoil and I mainly use them for Arkfalls which had a plentiful serving of enemies who need to be cut down. The scope is weird sure but it's not all bad.

when it could possibly make a gun less accurate...that is a very bad thing...would you really want a gun that doesn't shoot where you put it? (Borderlands ref!)

I'm not a fan of a scope on many of the full auto weapons, you loose the visible bloom effect, and a SAW has significant bloom you almost need to pulse the trigger like a burst gun.
Plus with overload anything near turns into distorted pink fire through the scope.

I don't notice the difference. I don't use the SAW for long range firing unless its at certain enemies at Arkfalls. All my shots hit. It is personal preference.

personal preference for sure, but with a 33.3% chance that it makes the gun less accurate, 33.3% chance it does nothing at all...and the hopeful, but doubtful 33.3% chance it actually improves accuracy.

I will stick to my irons...

I only add scopes to sniper rifles. Not that they are any better than stock but they make the weapon look better. Everything else I stick with iron sights. In my opinion scopes for other weapons zoom in too far to be useful. If they halved the zoom for other guns I may start to use them, but as they are it makes it more of a pain to deal with.
