With Account Wide Unlocks in mind, it's very good deal to buy it with DC, since it will be available for all 5 classes, across all factions. Its stats are very similar to the NS-7 PDW; a slightly longer reload time compensates for the 4% higher rate of fire. Due to the integrated suppressor, it is less versatile than the NS-7 PDW. Players who prefer a flash suppressor to a sound suppressor do not have that option, and using a compensator for minimizing its already-low recoil is also not an option. This is a good choice for Infiltrators who find themselves in recon CQC.
