Why Kantrael leads the way?

Works perfectly with volley fire and counter fire perk
What is your job? Your Class is Veteran “Sharpshooter”
Your job is to take out all the secondary targets. ( basically everything highlighted in yellow while your squad deals with the bigger targets or horde. Bombers, snipers, range grunts is your job and whats the best gun to do this job? The Kantarel of course!
Your squad will thank you fellow Kantrael Sharpshooter.
Your job at the sharpshooter is to take out 2ndaries highlighted by your special ability. no weapon does this better then the Kantrael MG IV. Being an efficient player is being a team player.
Ideal Kantrael MG IV set up since most the secondary targets you are charged with taking out are either flaked armored or unarmored. Damage roll should be high.
What makes the Kantrael IV superior for your job? Highest rate of fire for Kantrael variants. Maintains a high rate of damage and accuracy during rapid fire. and carries the most ammo. The Kantrael tears apart enemy firing lines with ease
These 2 perks will be the most valuable. Camo expert allows you to stand still and pick your targets without being interrupted by damage since you are not a target while standing still and counter fire highlights all the targets you need to take out.
exactly, my main character is zealot and I play the hammer, the knife, the chainsword according to my desire it depends on my mood even if I find that the bleeding of the knife is the most powerful
not only that but in a target rich environment, the kantaerl really goes hand in hand with the veterans volleyfire ability and will benefit your squad greatly. sadly the bolter, the plasma gun and the useless revolver does not go well with the veterans ONLY special abiblity
Plasma Gun can do the same room clearing and even more quickly in tight corridors or if you position yourself to make each shot kill several enemies. Oh and in a pinch you can make a charge shot blow through cover.
Agripinaa infanty/braced autogun supremacy! Pair it with knife and build for high stamina and sprint efficiency. Can be quite ammo hungry but you can be assured that everything that enters your screen will be DEAD
I agree, this guy posts way too much and has annoying comments all the time on other threads. Every time I see his replies I just ignore them and move past it.
It’s a bit too centralizing, to the point that a zealot with it can do the vet’s job. Likely to get nerfed unless the design team plays favorites again (ex: the elf from the last two games).
While Kantrael is effective, it doesn’t always equate to fun or more fun than something less effective. After so many games playing nothing but Kantrael other weapons start to look more and more appealing just because it isn’t a Kantrael.
