I recently bought the OBIR burst rifle (perm off Armas). I love it, and noticed it has three weapon mod slots. I thought about getting Cooling Jacket 2.

What are some thoughts on this? Thanks!

All three of the red mods are viable, IR gives a nice range boost, CJ is great for obvious reasons and HB is a good choice for the Obir also. To accompany I would suggest Mag Pull 3 and HS2.

It'd be interesting to see what the Mobility Sling performs like in an Obir....

CJ3 HS3 Tagger.

Cooling Jacket does not change the time between the bursts of 3, but in between the actual 3 shots WITHIN the burst.

As such your TTK with the OBIR changes from 1.02 seconds to 1.00 seconds.
.02 seconds with Cooling Jacket is outweighed by a Faster Reload, or a Tagger.

As such I would recommend *in order of importance* :

Hunting Sight 3
Tagger
Magazine Pull 3

OBIR does have high damage falloff, but most of the time 3 bursts will kill regardless because you only need 1 bullet of the third burst for a kill, meaning you can get away with shooting outside of your effective range.

Magazine Pull puts your ammo count at 18 *6 bursts and still a nice multiple of 3*

Hunting sight and tagger are good for obvious reasons.

Cool, I greatly appreciate everyone's feedback!

The only sensemaking red mod is IR. CJs effect is nonexistant as it does not make you shoot the three bursts out faster. It only makes the 3 rounds in one burst come out faster. Also the weapon blooms out so little, that it's at max accuracy before you can shoot the next burst, meaning HB is useless as well. However the OBIR has pretty steep damage drop off, so IR3 actually does fairly much to help.

Apart from that, HS3 and third mod is sorta up to you. Could be TPS, Mobility Sling, Tagger (not sure what that stacks with?), ammo mod..

What is IR3 again? I'll look for that. Yeah it does seem like Cooling Jackets won't make a difference, thanks for the reply!

Looks like I can unlock this. How many kills with my OBIR do I need to get to the proper level?

I tried it, doesn't make much difference since you're still moving slower than vanilla AR in MM.

Marksman 13, perhaps? I didn't quite remember.
But it takes a lot of kill to get there if you don't have high level of Marksman role already.

I go with HS3, Mag Pull 3 and Tagger. It's quickly becoming my go to gun when times get tough.

I'm not sure where my Marksman level is. I've only just started using semi-automatics. Thanks!

Nice, thanks for the reply!

HS3, IR3/Mag pull, Tagger. I prefer IR3 since the damage drop can be crucial at times, and i also don't suggest CJ because the effects from it are extremely minimal compared to other mods

Marksman 14, 5000 kills with semi-automatic rifles.

Yeah I'll probably pass on the CJ. Thanks!

I noticed it being for sale on the player market, can I use it if I get it there? (I'll prolly never have 5000 kills lol)

The IR3? Yes, i'm not that high on Rifles and can use the mods easily.

Right on. I'll prolly get it there. Maybe IR2 tho. I only have around $80k ATM.
