The primary objective of this loadout is to make the weapon suitable for mid to long-range combat. To start off, we’ve used 6.5″ EXF Vorpal which provides better accuracy and improves bullet velocity at the cost of movement and ADS speed.

The VLK LZR 7mW laser, at the same time, will retrieve the lost movement and ADS speed and significantly improve hip-fire accuracy, which is specifically helpful during close-range combats.

To further increase the ADS and sprint to fire speed, we suggest equipping the Bruen Flash Grip which is a boon for players with aggressive playstyle. However, the grip may slightly reduce aiming stability, making it harder to maintain accuracy over longer bursts or at range.

Another crucial attachment for this Chimera loadout is the Ravage-8 which enhances fire speed, ADS speed, movement speed, and sprint-to-fire time. This stock also gives you great mobility and accuracy, as well as control over your shots. 

Finally, the only drawback of the weapon becomes apparent in the magazine section, offering only a 30-round mag. With the weapon’s decently high fire rate, players need to be careful about burning through ammunition quickly. Therefore, we recommend using the 45-round Magazine to extend the firing time.
