Why so SIRIUS/ ERIDANI ?

Discussion in 'Public Discussion' started by Venatorstellarum, Apr 6, 2013.

  1. Hi guys,
    in a few days i'll have 1000 certs and i want to spend them for a SMG to infiltrate, tech plants, bio labs and AMP stations etc. ,more effectiv. Well, my questions is, what do you think about the SIRIUS SX12 and what are your favorite attachments for the weapon.
    If you don't like the SIRIUS, why is the ERIDANI SX5 in your oppinion better than the SIRIUS? Thanks for the help guys and have a nice day with the VS,

    Pretty awesome. Had a sweet 8 killstreak in two minutes with the Sirius yesterday. The smaller mag on the Eridani would've gotten me killed. That was with 2x and silencer. Also getting laser and soft point for it.

    2x, 1x or NV doesn't really matter to me, the thing is a hip fire weapon anyway.

    The only reason to go Eridani if you mostly go 1-on-1 in CQC, because of the shorter TTK. If you run up on three people from behind with only 25 bullets you'll have a bad time (probably).

    Pretty good gun. I use sirius. Good thing about it is you can use it with most classes.
    I run with 1x, with laser sight, compensator (if running with infiltrator) and soft point if running with anything else.
    It can be used as a medium range weapon but serves much better in the bio labs or close range because of the high fire rate.

    Don't go for the eridani. No point with the small clip size.

    Why do you only go with compensator as infiltrator? My thinking as infiltrator is to use the silencer, that way it's harder for people to find me when I pop up and shoot someone. When I put it on my engineer however I'll use the compensator for those longer kills.

    im sure he means suppressor for the infil. I run the same equip on all my smg loadouts; Soft-Point, 2x Zoom, Suppresor, Laser sight. Medium range is better served by a pistol than the SMG, since the CoF blooms so much.

    Pistol with a laser can be a really deadly thing for sure. Of topic, but running with Ghost or V10 + pistol = 1 rifle + 2 pistol = dead.

    thats a lot of different fonts in one thing - he wins the award
     
  11. why nobody uses Artemis? i personaly think its great, i get killstreaks of 10+ easly..being an infiltrator most of the kills when you do infiltrate will be on standing people up close towards mid range, as headshots, a couple of bullets will do just fine, that meaning u can take up to 3-4 people/ammo clip if handled well, easily. ( 5-8 if TR, they`re head just blows up after the first bullet, may be a bug idk )

    well, it is pretty much agreed that this gun is as lackluster as it comes in PS2. However skill will always beat raw weapon stats so if you are doing well with the artemis good for you ;-)

    High damage, high accuracy but low magazine weapons are skill based. The phantom, or the ghost, for example. If you get headshots, they'll drop in no time. But if you don't, you can kiss your ass goodbye.

    I'm thinking of buying the artemis next.
