Any advice please?

Is it just crap at low levels or what?

I do not like the VSSM. I just run full auto and iron sights and use it when I need DMR kills for challenges.

Attachments are pretty meaningless off the rip.

Truly it's a flank gun and it just comes down to positioning. Get the jump on people and shoot them in the face.

It's also very much a close range only weapon due to it's unbelievably abysmal velocity.

Just use hardware xp boosters till you unlock full auto. The VVSM shreds in full auto for cqb.

I don't know. I gave up on it like the DB-12. Not worth the headache. I have seen around the full auto unlock is where it becomes semi useful.

To each their own, I enjoy it. It rips using both semi and auto. I actually prefer it semi. But, I can see how some don't enjoy it.

You need to unlock the full auto mod but then the downside to that is the biggest mag you can fit is 20 rounds. You'd only really want to run it on the small maps like Hagental base because trying to shoot at range on the bigger maps is rough.

Once you get it to lvl 50 you'll never want to run it again.

How do you run semi? Any particular attachments??

I usually don’t use the boosters but I definitely had to use them to level this gun up as fast as possible. It’s a shame what they did to this gun in the game. It’s best to use as an SMG when you get it leveled up far enough but to get to that point using it as a DMR is rough.

It’s a niche weapon that… isn’t really that rest. Gotta unlock full auto and treat it like an SMG.

It does have a higher headshot multiplier than normal. But actually landing shots is difficult, because the gun has really slow bullet velocity.

The end goal is to unlock full auto which doesn’t really allow for any other attachments anyway

I used some double XP weapon tokens and stuck with it until I got the full auto attachment. Then it's a bearable gun to use

Hipfire build that MF until 15. Trigger spam like mad… it’s actually pretty effective. I keep using the dual zoom (dropping to to 1-4 when unlocked) in case I need to plink off some shots at 50m… but man the velocity sucks even here.

Then you remove everything to throw on full auto. You can either use long range ammo still which slightly helps with velocity but then you either use irons or no laser or scrap it for the 5 point pen ammo to afford a sight and 10 point laser…. I do the latter, and it’s fantastic on CQB maps

I don't know, I've leveled it to full auto on Bazaar in less than 2 hours. I actually had better kd without it 😆
Attached 20p handle, violet laser and default scope.

yeah this gun already struggled as a DMR but then they went and nerfed its limb damage again this last patch too 😕

It's not a proper DMR, so it's hard to use.

It requires headshots to be effective. Until you unlock full auto, at which point it acts as a very quiet SMG.

But you could use subsonic ammo on many SMG to get a similar effect - and the VSSM actually gives you a suppressor with worse spotting range than others in the game.

If we had class locked weapons, it would be useful as an SMG for all classes.
