Calico MP60: yay or nay?

cratesrgay

TL;DR:
Probably one of the ugly looking gun in the game (not as bad as knuckles, M4-predator NG though, BURN!). After accepting that, it is a really fun and easy gun to use.


Picked up this weapon shortly after patch here is what I think:

- a nerfed version of the TMP, but can shoot from medium to long range.

- At close range, it feels like an M4 without recoil. I just aimed for the head, hold LMB, worked pretty well.

- In HMX, I could definitely feel the tagging effect, but nowhere near as strong as TMP(probably due to the slower rate of fire).
Still better than any MG or rifle in HMX, I would say it is on par with KSV-ss (that is saying a lot).



I think Z8 introduced this gun to buff soldiers in HMX:
If you didn't know, in other versions of CF HMX, mutants start with 2000 HP. And soldiers have a lot more ammo to start with.
From my experience, it is really hard for soldiers to hold off the mutants. This could change with the Calico MP60, but only if we ban hackers first.


My concern:
Obviously, people are worried that the tagging effect will let newbies run around TDM and get kills with no skill.
However, I have yet to get overwhelmed by the tagging effect, it really is nowhere near as bad as TMP.
But time would tell.

Btw, I spun 600 crates of Calico MP60 and still didn't win. So glad I dodged a bullet, as I didn't spam ZP crates.

How do you guys find it?

Didnt tried it yet, but i did open 1500 crates and didnt won it.

cratesrgay

Haha, just won it in 1100.
Is the win chance for GP crate different these days? Perhaps because we can get 1 day versions quite easily?

I personally love the Calico. It looks very WW2-ish. Got a great aesthetic compared to most other weapons.

It has quick reload speed, respectable accuracy and damage as well as a great mag size. It's decent in ZM as well.

For a GP gun, its more than acceptable. I'm glad to see a gun that you don't need to pay real life money for a JHP weapon.

I like the gun a lot. But I was wondering why I was slow when someone hit me with it so now I feel a bit dirty by using it and feel the need to go back to my AK now. I just don't respect guns that do any of that TMP stuff its broken and shouldn't have any place in modes like S&D. I do like how the gun feels since I feel like it fits my style of play and I've had fun destroying matches with it but now knowing why I had so much power over people makes me feel sick.

Having it as temporary gun in my storage gave me a chance to try this new gp weap.
In my opinion, calico isn’t too good like other weaps, and it’s look like a water gun in real life LOL!
Atm, I bought 800 crates and nothing. I won’t waste more gp nor time to spin with it.
People are crazy to buy 1k+ crates just for “not worth it weap”, just saying..

CamelSoldier

I think I used 230 crates to win. It's not as strong as people claim but has decent recoil. No challenge vs AK47. Any way it's a Yay if you have the GP to waste and Nay if you don't. Those that spent 1k that could of been used on 1 year and half of another CFS package.

If you don't have the Millions of GP then best to use GP on CFS that GP gun isn't going any where any time soon.

Mastermann

I bought 500 crates and won it in ~80, nothing in the other ~420 crates.

It's pretty good up close, but medium+ range it kind of sucks due to the recoil.

That's great - because it's not going to be another TMP where you can just hold left click and run at your opponent.

MaedaAtsuko2

brought 200 won it. its the best Smg weapon you could ever have

BrandyIncubo

In 180 crates i won it twice..Anyway I tried it in SnD/TD and as @cratesrgay said "a nerfed version of TMP"..personally I didn't find anything special..

Golden173

Its a troll gun, you die easy against players that can aim at head. There are guns that deserve to be in gp bm way more than this..

Michaelxv205

Spray n Pray gun without the need for actual spray control skill. Nerfed version of the tmp however it works better than the tmp at long range. Shouldn't be in the GP market or in the item Shop put it in coupons for days or ZP market so we never see it again

m12_sprayer

I haven't tried it yet, and I wouldn't be too worried about the tagging effect, its not as bad as TMP

Dextreme

Got it temporary for a few days and it's definitely fun to go try it out on Bots. But since I am a "Dual TMP noob!", I don't see myself spinning any more crates for it.

olpers

I just bought my first 10 crates of this gun and won it in the 4th crate. Are you guys lying or what?
