Hello 😀
Welcome to my guide on the best mods for weapons guaranteed note that some of the weapons featured in Heroes and Generals will be left out for my lack of use of the gun so I don’t know the exact best way to mod it but I can however give tips on the overall category they may be in like lmg class or smg class, also feel free to leave feedback I am willing to learn if I am infact wrong and would love to improve this guide with your help but until I test these things myself or many others agree on that exact mod set in the comments then I will add them to this guide and I will credit you ofcourse on that weapons section. For starters I will get to the mods I feel most comfortable with on the guns I use most and the feedback I have for the devs and also the tips I have will usually be thrown into the varying descriptions be sure to comment on that topic too and give this more views so maybe some of the devs will give it a read. Much love to the Reto gods now lets get this started.
Mp40
Short bursts, timed sprays, great way to take on 4 people without a worry once you get comfortable with it which should happen quite quickly for some. Don’t go to crazy with it in long games unless you despise having credits. Every other gun I suggest will consistently run you less than 1900 even in long skirmish games even if you go a little mad with them.
Gewehr(with and without scope)
Without Scope – As with all other starter semi rifles it has great hipfire capabilities and great accuracy down sights depending on whether you like the sights and the ammo you pair with it which can make it mostly a 2 or 3 shot on all players depending on heavy set badge use. Mostly I suggest modding this for how you personally like it one part at a time to tell the specific parts differences and see if it really affects your performance over a few games, this is also a tip that can be used on modding all guns not just starter rifles. But I cannot stress enough how helpful the hipfire can be and I know some of you click faster than methheads so go show them how good the starter rifles can be, you will be suprised on how many smgs close range you can take out.
With Scope – Performs like a totally different gun essentially becoming a very accurate autosniper with a 4x scope. One of my favorite weapons for so many reasons but let me say before I get into more of those if you don’t like the reticle given on that scope you may not want to bother but you are really missing out if you pass this up, just aim below the nub you will get what I mean when you see the reticle and pow. Pair this with my setup of mods or your own that you find you do well with but your gonna want to take advantage of being able to precisely pick off head and one its best features considering it is a stock weapon it is less alerting to nearby enemy soldiers in the area around you rather than the loud crack of your sniper rifle alerting every enemy to your shooting position.
>>>Edit and Update – This section on Gewehr can also be used to mod your other semi rifles the Garand and Svt, use the same parts shown above but with their approriate factions labeling.<<<
Mg42
So I was wrong in thinking this gun went to garbage after the mg42 and carbine nerf but I am not sure how to fully describe it since its not as good as it once was but if you are gonna run it this is by far the best way, either use the barrel shown in the picture or us it stock all the other mods seem to hinder it since some of the nerfed attributes show more when you use those other mods.
Mp34
Short bursts and timed sprays will have you taking out many other poorly modded guns.
Dp28
First game in months with dp and here is the results :3
Short bursts for anything at range and spray them down at hugging range this is what the mg42 was like and actually a tad worse but still an amazing gun. RIP mg42.
Thompson
Not at max rpm because the clip size can be used up very quicky, it is also powerful and accurate enough to not have to go wild with it and go through a whole clip for one person like you will see many doing. Another smg with power and range don’t be afraid to take on people at rifle range with a quick spray or two.
Carbine
Garbage now since carbine and mg42 nerf, just use thompson or anything else.
Ppd
This little beauty is a rain of bullets with a drum with 71 bullets to spare and enough rof and accuracy to take on other smgs and rifles with suprising accuracy at 100 or more away, go for it not like you don’t have the bullets to spare and definetly worth the times you get an amazing headshot.
P08
Very versatile and great pistol all around as with all the other pistols has accuracy to spare and different routes to take with modding options either modding for rpm or damage or a little of both. With the mods I use I’d say its somewhere in the middle but feel free to mod it how you like.
1911
With these mods but mostly on the bullets behalf once you watch and learn how to predict the drop of the bullet you can hipfire headshot from 100+ away, fun to whip around bullets at targets you know you shouldn’t be able to hit or won’t hit and end up hitting or even headshotting them for a kill but like I said only works with hipfiring.
M1919
It is an accurate 2 shot kill lmg that was better than the mg42 ever was at any point and yet mg42 still got a nerf… Some people aren’t a fan of the sights but if you can work past that use these mods and give it a beastly or trolly name and your on your way to a better KD. Reto has chosen his master race lol.
More Tips
Definetly get an apc for atleast your most played faction even though you should consider getting it for all of them for one reason alone, it can single-handedly win games for your teams having people consistently spawning on a point can change a game very quickly letting you hold a point or keep moving on to the next one espicially when the other team isn’t fortunate enough to have anyone with an apc on their side and with the latest updates now you even get xp for deploying people out of your apc.
***Please devs add more camos for this apc if not all apcs <3***
The Ba-6 and Ba-64b well let me get to the one you might unlock first down the recon vehicle path the Ba-64b.
I highly recommend this vehicle for all the fun you can have by yourself or with a friend on your gunner seat of its lmg and the fact this will give you access to a medical crate if you choose to equip it, I’m sure you can think of the different ways to work with your friends in this vehicle so I’ll get to my suggestion on how to use it effectively alone. One way to use it effectively alone is when you spawn swing that gun to look straight behind you then get to a location where you will find enemies and pull up facing the back of your vehicle and your positioned gun to the enemy and wait for some enemies to come into view or go try and make your presence known to the enemies on that point by driving up and beeping your horn like a dumby if its like most of the games I have been in a some enemies will see the vehicle and want to shoot you out and chase you down for access to that vehicle so let them give you a little chase and when you have enough distance and they are far from cover because they were trying to chase you down switch to the gunner seat with that gun you already positioned facing behind you and mow down your chasers. Another tip on how to perform well alone with the ba-64b is by using its small size and low profile to help you sneak into positions like the rocks at b on forest map and mow down all the people pulling up to the back of their point just think of yourself as a fat guy with an lmg and where you would go and sit your butt there. Well enough about the ba-64b time to get to the ba-6.
The ba-6 is a funny thing, it can be alot of fun or totally useless all in one game with that said it can penetrate heavy tanks lmao I know…. that is absurd and hilarious and please keep this feature Reto gods. Alone this thing can be alot more of a hassle at using the same strategy as the ba-64b but it is still best to keep the gun facing behind you if your alone or even with a gunner for both the fact it has a slow turret speed and its recoil of the gun actually moves the whole car if you try to shoot the cannon facing towards one side so its best to have the driver poke his butt at enemies for the gunner to always stay focused at one direction facing backwards rather than never reacting to anything fast enough with the slow moving turret. Even though it can penetrate heavy tanks it has trouble penetrating most medium tanks strangely and even some lights, and to successfully hunt tanks espicially heavies you need to have the drop on them and plenty and I mean plenty of luck because your a 2 shot death from medium tanks and 1 shot from heavies whilst it takes you 4 to 6 shots to kill them not including the ones that will bounce. Also if I have some people’s attention about this vehicle please if you hop in as a gunner use the lmg on people and cannon vs tanks so many people try to shoot the cannon at people and will miss all day. I highly recommend this vehicle if your bored with nothing else to do which you most likely are if you have a russian recon.
***Devs please buff the armor values for the ba-6 even slightly would be nice to not get ripped apart by the starter lmgs tanks in .5 seconds or maybe even bouncing a shot from anything every now and then would be so very nice and please add more skins for both ba-6’s I love these things***
Ahhh out of all my gold badges still my favorite will always be the one that I combine with one of my favorite weapons. Dynamite Lover Gold and RPG-43s anyone that has played with me espicially tankers knows I’m notorious for keeping tankers on their tip toes and getting some revenge for my fellow fallen soldiers and there is no faster way to take out a tank that knows something is up or a pack of 3 holding down an area and make sure to name your rpg nades for added revenge effectiveness just nothing to offensive you don’t want to get banned for something minor like that.
Guns I Only Suggest If You Don’t Like Having Credits
PPSH
A very fun gun but like any high rpm gun with mods its gonna rip through credits and the sad thing is the only way you can enjoy it is when it has those two things but if you have the credits to waste she can be a bunch of fun. Each part I show here is neccesary for the best end result with this gun which can still be outgunned by other guns of its class from the varying other factions with half as less ammo used by w.e gun just killed you just seems the ppsh and the ppd can be a little to weak when your comfronted by the power of carbines or thompsons in that close range kind of fights you can expect I honestly think both need a slight power boost. Most of you will also notice this gun is not at the highest rpm I have tried it and you can go ahead and try it to but you will find the parts used here are so much more stable and reliable with about the same killing speed since your not missing all the bullets that would be flying around your target with the full rpm variant.
STG(as requested)
Yes as requested because apparently some of you still want to use the weapon and annihilate your credits so I thought I’d atleast show you how I use it when I bring it out every now and then. Refer back to the stg section if you happen to skip it for my reasons why I don’t suggest it but on to its good traits and my thoughts. Its a powerful gun not a gun you need high rpm on but a rpm your comfortable with and this is as good as its gonna ge,t if you hit what you aim at even slightly 2 or more bullets should be landing even on wild sprays and you will be putting them down quick but as I said it will cost you anyway you mod this gun. With these mods equipped and when hipfiring and mid range spraying isn’t enough I find it nice to switch over to 1 shot and pick off targets if you have had your training with gewehr with scope it uses the same scope that you can even take off your gewehr and put on to your stg and the bullet will perform practically the same way.
