Arguably, the Sidewinder’s biggest problem now is its very slow rate of fire. Nevertheless, you can get it to almost work in your favor with the right class and attachments.<\/p>
I went all-out on improving the weapon’s recoil, with the Holger Vertical Grip<\/strong> and the RB Borealis Grip<\/strong> doing the hard work in controlling the weapon. To really succeed with the Sidewinder, however, you’ve got to fundamentally change the gun with the JAK Thunder LMG Kit.<\/strong><\/p>
This Conversion Kit turns the battle rifle into an LMG with a 50-round magazine that fires faster the longer you hold down the trigger. It’s great for supporting teammates on an objective and just ripping holes through walls, but that’s about it.<\/p>
In general, once you’ve leveled this weapon up and unlocked all of its camos, it’s just not worth using in its current state. There are just many more, better options for all kinds of archetypes in the game and not just battle rifles. <\/p>
Its recent buffs are great, and with its raw power, don’t be surprised to see it become a viable option as season two progresses. However, the low rate of fire might still deter most players.<\/p>
