Talk:Autumn G36E Valkyrie/@comment-1846663-20141109163551

Let me clear the air here. Lots of people are asking me about this, so I'll just post it here. First and foremost, the Autumn G36 is, unquestionably, the best variant of this gun. The portability increase is HUGE, and the 35/105 is just icing on the cake. The fact that you can buy it perm for less than $20 right now is just insane. Below that, the Phoenix is actually an improvement over the Valkyrie and standard G36. Anyone who does not have this gun on their top 5 list of best guns in the game has clearly never used it, or simply does not know how to unleash its potential.

As far as the whole noob vs. pro argument, there is a natural progression to weapons. As you play the game, you'll begin to shy away from noob-friendly weapons and move into more advanced tap fire guns. Big advantage here is the increased damage per shot. My recommendations, from easiest to use to requires the most skill looks like this:

M416 CQB (Camo) -or- M4 SOPMOD/Desert Warrior -or- M6A2 SRT >>> F2000 Tactical -or- MK14 MOD 0 >>> L85 MOD Camo -or- G36E (Autumn/Phoenix/Valkyrie) >>> REC7 Rangers -or- M417 SB

I normally use my TAU L85 MOD Camo (Thanks Nexon!) over my Phoenix namely because I don't like the bright orange on Snow Valley. I never play fireteam without my Phoenix set, however. If I buy this gun perm, it will be my go-to weapon unless I get a REC7 Rangers in my loyalty box.
