Recommended Attachments
Here are the recommended attachments for the .50 GS:
- Forge TAC Enforcer (Barrel)
- 1mW Laser (Laser)
- Match Grade Trigger (Trigger Action)
- 13 Round Mags (Ammunition)
- Stippled Grip Tape (Rear Grip)
This selection of attachments is the best balance of damage output, fast rate of fire and recoil control. Adding a laser further improves accuracy when firing from the hip, perfect to be accurate when there’s no time to aim down the sights.
Recommended Perks
Perk selection is also essential to extract the most out of the pistol. Selecting double-time to increase the length of tactical sprint will certainly help to navigate the map at speed.
It will also allow you to take an enemy by surprise thanks to your superior speed.
Amped is another useful perk to equip when using the .50 GS as your secondary weapon.
Increasing the speed of a weapon swap will allow you to quickly switch to your secondary when out of ammo for your primary weapon or you are in a situation where the pistol is a more viable weapon of choice.
Top Tips
Speed, Speed, Speed
Use the additional mobility to outplay and outmanoeuvre the opposition. Although you have the speed advantage, it is still important to pre-empt the location of the enemy by aiming down sights (ADS) frequently to snap onto any opponent that could catch you out.
Be Accurate
The time to kill is extremely fast, making this desert eagle replica an incredible weapon to have in the back pocket.
To excel with the .50 GS, accuracy is the key to success, especially when it is a one-shot kill when scoring a headshot onto an opponent.
To ensure more headshots with the pistol, aim slightly higher than you would normally and let the recoil of the gun do the rest!
Don't Stop Shooting
It is very easy to think that you have secured a kill using the .50 GS when in fact you haven’t.
It is important to keep shooting the target until you see the confirmation of the kill appear on screen or you hear that satisfying ping of a successful headshot.
