If I were to get 2 / 3 mods for a Ntec, which ones would you guys recommend?

[Hyburnate]

It depends on your play style.
Faster Reload would be good

I roll with hunting sight 3 and heavy barrel 2.

[crede]

either huntingsight3 and coolingjacket3, or coolingjacket 3 and magpull3, my third mod would prolly be 3pointsling

Crede knows what he is talking about, although it is pretty hard to use the CJ3/MP3 setup if you are not very familiar with the N-TEC

Cj3 on Ntec? Good luck mate.

3ps3, HB2 & HS3.

[Starman]

Cooling Jacket 3, Magazine Pull 3, 3 Point Sling 3. Is great in everyday combat situations.

Double fun!

I just put a Heavy Barrel 2 on my N-TEC 5 Nol and it rocks. Suddenly the gun lost it's recoil and became like a mix between Obeya CR762 and STAR 556. Haven't tried it with Hunting Sights though.

I've already tried the N-tec with HS2, and it already works wonders. I'll probably try it with CJ / HB and decide on which is better.

Is there a major difference between HS2 and HS3, or between tier 2 and tier 3 mods in general?

And then i'll check out if I'll put MP or 3PS on when I unlock the 3 slot N-tec.

Thanks for all the replies so far!

Difference for Heavy Barrel is that with Heavy Barrel 2 it still takes 6 shots to kill. With Heavy Barrel 3 it takes 7.

I'll try it out, but won't CJ cause more bloom?

Whatever you guys do just dont spray that N-TEC, unless in CQC. Whit HS3/CJ3 you can burst 3 shots at a time with great accuracy or just tap, whilst with MP3/CJ3 you are more focusing on versatility and you are a bit better going in close quarters.
N-TEC only has a 50m effective range and without modding any range mod you still have a great marksman-mode. Due to the relative low effective range there is no actual reason to use HS3 because then you might aswell use an Obeya, OBIR, HVR etc. Putting Reflex Sight on N-TEC is a straight drawback since it barely helps in close quarters and at the same time it makes you worthless in marksman-mode.

[Starman]

Like viffer said. HS3 doesn't really help you except you may hit a few more shots at 70m+~. But you'll still be out-gunned by anyone with obir, obeya, sniper, at that range, and not only that, the downsides of HS3 is the increased crosshair in cqc. It grows to almost a ridiculous size in comparison to the small benefit of a smaller crosshair in marksmanship mode. The beneficial gain is much smaller than the downsides imo, since without the HS it's still very good crosshair size within it's optimal range of use.

Since the damage drop starts at 50m, putting HB2 on an ntec works well up to 50m since you can add 1-2 more bullets to each burst. But after that, because you've lowered the damage of each shot, the amount of bullets it takes to kill after 50m increases rapidly. Making it even more useless vs pretty much any other gun.

CJ3 does increase the bloom, but on the n-tec, the crosshair resets very fast so you can still tap-shoot as if it was a normal n-tec at the longer ranges. But since you have the ability to shoot much faster than a normal n-tec, the cj3 will help you a great deal in the close quarter fights where movement is key and you notice that you survive a lot more often vs the smgs and shotguns.

MP3 makes the reload speed a vital part for almost any combat situation. The magsize is still big enough to kill a few players and spray like a madman if need be. The really great thing about this mod is that very often you'll suppress someone behind an object or car, but when you're in need of a reload the enemy will take his chance because most likely he'll get to you (or safety) before you've reloaded and is ready to shoot again. With MP3 you'll more or less always catch them off-guard in the open where they have no cover. It's also very beginner friendly since there's a lot of room for missing shots because of the amount of bullets it has even with the magpull.

3PS3, well there's no downsides about it. And no other mod would be worth using as the third one, at the current state of game, in my opinion.

IR3 on n-tec.. Well 57m before the damage starts to drop ain't necessarily bad. However, since it's another red mod. I'd still prefer using CJ3. There's no real noticeable downsides to using this mod though. So if HB2 or CJ3 doesn't work for you, try IR3.

Obviously these aren't every benefit and downside of the different "valid" mods for the n-tec. But it's enough for me to choose what I need

Great work Starman. I was always using HS3, HB2 and MP3 but now I'm trying CJ3, MP3 and 3PS3. I must say it feels slightly different but I like the new combo. I'm a lot more dangerous in cqc and I'm not feeling any downsides up to 50m. I can just recommend to try it out. It's not a major difference, don't expect a full automatic joker with a higher range...

Is it a 7% increase out of a 100% MAX? or is it 7% of its current rate of fire?
