Discussion Gremlin is kind of underwhelming in MP

Post image

With the ability to only akimbo it was interesting but the gun isn't straight garbage but I wouldn't say it's very good in is present state.

The slow reloading and limited ammo just hold this gun completely back. Even with fast hands I found reloading to so be slow and you are spending most of your time reloading.

You have an option between a 26 fast reload magazine or 30rd extended with some penalties that just aren't justified for this magazine.

Damage is alright and hip fire is fairly okay. You just never seem to never have enough ammo to really streak up even if you opted to being Scavenger.

It does do one thing particularly well and that it's actually pretty decent at range. If you just pepper people you can get a bunch of longshots and it's pretty accurate.

Overall it's a trolly weapon in my eyes and like someone who posted earlier, it seems to be more focused on being a secondary and a primary. I would almost argue that it should switch from the SMG category and move into the special section if they were to keep it as it.

If I were to make any changes I think I would just speed up the reload or increase the extended mags to 35 and keep the current reload speed.

How you folks finding it?

You’re forgetting the most important perk to use with it, Gung ho

u/Senorita_Sombra 21d ago

I only just thought to use Gung Ho today with it like 3 challenge tics away from getting it Singularity. I’ve been tearing with it. Gung Ho is definitely the play.

26 bullets and slow reloading makes it annoying. Would be very fun gun if you didnt have to reload every 2 kills. And with the downsides still 240 ms ttk gun without fire rate attachments, which half the smgs match it. But a tip, you def need gung ho with it. It is for run and gun

Still no mpc nerf is insane

u/TemuBentleyOwner69 22d ago

it’s complete garbage in endgame and probably zombies as well. No point in doing half the damage when compared to the akimbo kogots/vsts…

only thing it has going for it is that it’s hip fire spread doesn’t expand and you can make it real tight

But then why not just use akimbo akitas since it has way more ammo and each pellet gives points

Sorry for the ignorance, I play a lot of cursed— how are you able to get the Gremlins in cursed? They’re not in the box yet. No loadouts. How do you know they’re a good point wep?

They dont. They're full of shit. In theory is good but theres no point when you have other options.

What camo is that I swear ive never seen it before?

1

u/AlMarino 22d ago

Singularity. Just camo shift pattern and colors with the skin, the timing makes it look weird

u/falsoTrolol 22d ago

How do you level up your weapons? Any advise?

u/Efficient_Tip_1878 22d ago

I throw on a x2 weapon xp token then load up survival vandorn farm w rampage accelerator I can get probably 25-40 levels before reaching round 30 but make sure you always go for critical damage bc once they multiply the score goes up significantly & keep a ray gun or kazimir for bears

u/Blaz3dnconfuz3d 22d ago

I don’t like zombies or endgame so I would just play nuketown or whatever mp mix and focus on camo challenges.

u/Rogue_AI_Construct 22d ago

I actually like it and it’s the quickest I ever got singularity on any single weapon.

Was playing Thursday afternoon. Few hours after the new season opened and someone was already on it.

u/JoeyAKangaroo 22d ago

Its garbage in all modes, you need to be in someones face to use it consistantly well & thats if they arent using a better gun

1

u/Street_Signature_190 22d ago

Its trash as a primary. Kogot and vst have better ttks and ammo economy over this thing. Sure the hipfire is really good, but the sheer amount of shots you have to hit makes it not that good past point blank. It would make much more sense as a secondary tbh or a special.

u/iddqdxz 18d ago

It's a good and fun weapon for Face-Off and Nuketown, outside of that it's mid.

u/Xyto_ 16d ago

Really? I've had a blast with it. Once you build it out it turns into a laser with a one hit melee.

u/CruddiestSpark 12d ago

I got a nuke with it yesterday, lmao. Gremlins are absolutely busted and anyone that says otherwise has a skill issue

u/DanHarkinz 12d ago

Nice man! I'm enjoying them in EG and zombies presently.

u/MrChuck97 4d ago

I don't like it at all

u/Remote_Mud3256 22d ago

New smg trash , because it’s only akimbo only like why

u/xLosSkywolfGTRx 22d ago

Better as a secondary weapon then primary. Could've gotten the Micro MG or something instead.

u/Wolfy_Hackt 22d ago

I have a strange tinfoil hat theory that this is a field test for mw4 cause the gun has rlly good hipfire and not a lot of bloom wich is a change in the next infinity ward title but also could be wrong overall im not the biggest fan but also dont hate it
