“(OPTIONAL) ROSES ARE RED, VIOLETS ARE BLUE - 14,000 CHAPTER XP  
Kill 1 enemy using the Fallschirmjägergewehr 42.”  
Really? That’s just mockery. Kill one enemy with the fan favourite gun that got nerfed into the ground. Oh, and in case anyone forgets…  
20 round mag  
Slow reload  
Poor accuracy  
1.1 second draw time  
4-9btk  
Very bad. I swear, Dice is so insensitive.

uhh…don’t you think a good way to test damage is to make everyone use it?  
That’s how i read a lot of assignment goals, it’s them targeting specific things for testing and gathering numbers, no ones used fg42 since it got nerfed so they have no current figures.

It hasn’t been touched though since 5.2.2. Also it is one kill, that will hardly provide any data. This means guys will use it for one life, mostly. The stats are there and pretty clear concerning it. It is a pretty awful weapon both generally and in the LMG class.

1 kill for maybe 50% of the player base will give a good idea.  
Not sure what the player totals are now but you don’t needs massive numbers, just enough to gauge things like successful vs unsuccessful engagements, distances etc. end of the day it’s all based on averages.  
1 kill would be enough to be a sample while not ‘inflicting’ an unwanted assignment on people.

I had a chuckle at that too.

Us jumping through hoops testing unlocks is more less free beta testing for DICE. I miss the days of games 100% bug free the day you buy them on a cartridge. Might have to buy me another N64 and Golden Eye and throw some parties playing that game. Them were the days. Now days games are broken day 1. Then at the mercy of the dev’s to patch them later when they’re good and ready.

20 bullets is the real problem, fun to use though.

Don’t know about all that really, it’s just 1 kill. Easiest 14k xp ever. But I thought this was about it being rank 16 support weapon. I’m fine with all the objectives being more support class based but not everyone mains this class so those people certainly aren’t rank 16 with it.

They should give it a Valentine’s day gift of a larger magazine specialization instead of a thumbtack bayonet.

If you’re not rank 20 in every class by now, that’s on you.

By now? As if every single person who plays this game bought it at release? What a stupid thing to say. Even if they did, maybe they just don’t enjoy playing all the classes and stick to one or two.

Dedicated players should be able to have some sort of reward for sticking with the game. And it is fairly easy to do if you play a minute or two a day with each class.

I mean, it does take some time to progress with each class. But its just a bonus assignment, its not like you can’t get the reward without skipping it.

It even took several attempts to get that kill with all those 2As going around killing me or stealing my kills

I think it’s still usable, but it is under powered compared to it’s small magazine and high RoF. You may only get 1-2 kills per mag. While that’s kinda the same as the Semi auto rifles you need to understand that the FG-42 is an LMG and should be more like the other assault rifles instead.

I think it needs a slight damage boost and definitely a larger magazine, if not then at least give it an extended mag specialization.
