Hello, I am David Andersson, and welcome to the weapon guide for the Type 25 assault rifle
which is unlocked as soon as you unlock create-a-class. Remember to leave a comment on this video
with your favorite class setup for the Type 25, more details at the end of the video.
When using the Type 25 you can be aggressive. You can match most sub machine guns in terms
of firepower but have to be a bit more careful due to the slow movement characteristics.
This means that you shouldn't sprint around corners and rather wait for enemies behind
some cover to come around a corner than to charge ahead. Firing from the hip can be effective
if you do run into an enemy at very close range, but it is usually better to aim down
the sights.
The perks I found most useful were ghost, flak jacket, toughness, dexterity and tactical
mask. Ghost will ensure that you can't be easily spotted by a UAV when you are near
the enemies and stop enemies from getting ready for you when they notice you on the
radar. Flak jacket will be important for objectives but also when you run into bouncing Bettys
or an enemy is throwing a lot of explosives around. Toughness is important so that you
don't lose gunfights to flinching. Dexterity will help you get ready for enemies which
will allow you to worry a bit less about sprinting. Tactical mask will stop enemies from disabling
you with tactical equipment.
The fore grip will make it easier to aim as it increases the accuracy of the Type 25.
I found that up to medium range the fore grip wasn't necessary, but you will struggle with
anything beyond that without the fore grip.
The stock increases your movement speed whilst aiming. This can be handy since the Type 25
does take a few bullets to kill and thus strafing will be a good option. Especially at medium
range strafing will help you win a lot of engagements. When you use the stock you don't
have to use cover as much as strafing is often as effective as cover.
The laser sight reduces the hip fire spread of the Type 25. Since it has a high fire rate
the laser sight is actually fairly effective on the Type 25. Even at medium range you can
fire from the hip and often win the engagement.
The select fire attachment enables you to switch to burst fire. This reduces the recoil
and makes it slightly easier to take on enemies at long range. I didn't like the select fire
a lot. The extra long range capabilities are nice, but at close to medium range you will
not be able to put out as much firepower and one burst usually doesn't kill with the Type
25.
The suppressor is very good on the type 25 since it already has low damage the slightly
reduced range won't affect you too badly. That said with the suppressor it becomes near
impossible to compete with snipers and light machine guns at long range since they can
kill you much faster than you can.
FMJ increases the damage against scorestreaks, which can be helpful, and the penetration
of the Type 25. The extra penetration is rarely noticeable and the higher damage against scorestreaks
is rarely even necessary.
Extended clip grants some extra bullets per magazine. The increase is only slight and
not very noticeable due to the high fire rate of the Type 25. But it does let you clean
up objectives easier, even if there are three or more enemies on them.
The type 25 has a range of optical attachments. All of them make it easier to aim. I personally
prefer the reflex sight out of all the optical attachments since it doesn't take up large
portions of the screen. If you have a smaller screen or sit far away from it the target
finder or ACOG scope might help you identify enemies. But overall the Type 25 has very
good iron sights that are easy to use at close to medium range and aren't a great hindrance
at long range.
The Type 25 is an aggressive weapon so I decided to enhance that even further. With quickdraw
your aim time will be equal to if not better than most sub machine guns letting you be
much more aggressive. With it you can sprint around corners since, combined with dexterity,
you cam aim down the sights milliseconds after you stop sprinting. Fast mag reduces the risk
of getting caught reloading which is a key problem I had with the Type 25 due to its
high fire rate. However, even with it you will have to stop being as aggressive whilst
reloading.
So there you go. That is my preferred class setup with the Type 25. Leave a comment on
this video with your favorite class setup with the Type 25 for a chance to be featured
on next Wednesday's feedback video where I take a look at the classes you like and give
you some opinions on them. Thank you very much for watching and until next time.
