I've heard from a couple of different sources that the SVDM is really good but I struggle to consistently hit shots with it. I'm not sure how to build it but I feel like you either take the 20 round mag or hollow point ammo. I'm wondering if I should build more into control though since I have a hard time hitting those 3 taps consistently. If anyone has any advice on it or on other DMRs they think are better, I'd really appreciate it 🙂
It doesnt suit my playstyle either, I tried hard. Its not for everyone and its good that way.
Point it at the enemy and press mouse 1?
Seriously I find using a good recoil control grip helps a lot, plus a scope without too much magnification but enough to play at a reasonable range. There's a decent 2.5x or 3x that both work well.
You go back in time and play before the limb modifiers
It’s only good in redsec…it’s pretty bad in MP
I play exclusively in hardcore servers, which is possibly why I love it. With the reduced player health it absolutely shreds.
Okay guys, don’t shoot me for this one, but…
Place a piece of tape on middle of your screen. This is your new reticle. Most of the SVDMs recoil is visual. The piece of tape will let you know where your bullets are REALLY going.
Also, bind ping to the same button you use to fire. This will work because you’re firing semi auto. You are now a pseudo recon on any class.
Why not use OSD? Virtually all monitors have that feature nowadays.
I like the gwr i think its called. Still my top 3 guns. Takes 3 or 4 taps but i got used to it early and made it maxed first.
Hollow points, 20 round mag, get headshots
I think DMRs in general are all about positioning. They’re unforgiving if you place yourself in a vulnerable position, but monsters if you can stay somewhat behind cover and flank from distance
Whatever works best.
Ypu could swap to a 2 tapper the svk 8.6.
Absent that you should try to build it with a low scope intensity and pretend it's a terrible assault rifle.
Once you have the build straight use a scope between 4 to 8x.
