PlanetSide 2's Artemis VX26: Outclassed & Outdated

I mean, it's not a really bad weapon, but the other scouts just do it better.

I personally love this weapon because with the silencer you cannot hear this weapon being fired if anything else is going on around you. Yes you need to get headshots with most shots to stay alive if the Enemy has seen you but if they haven’t they are dead as long as you don’t miss. I just like this adrenaline rush I get behind enemy lines assassinating people and the only indicator being their Bodies on the ground. I only miss out on range and switch to the Ghost when there is a sniper somewhere in midrange, but I find the Artemis just fun to use and unexpected by other Players.

Still a great Video to watch.

These full auto scout rifles - Artemis, Stalker, SOAS-20 - used to have a niche back when the weapon category was exclusive to infiltrators. They are discount assault rifles to fill the mid range gap for infiltrators. Opening up the scout rifle category to other classes means these guns add no value to them. Adding more scout rifles to the game means these ones can be skipped on the path to directive rewards. They should be reworked to behave like the Tomoe, as in their DPS are bad on body shots, but great on headshots.

Though there is one gun in this niche that made me go hmm: the BAR-A50 for NSO.
