[@thesaviordj2004]

Very nice videos, I can see you took some inspiration from XboxAhoy’s earlier Call of Duty weapon guides, a worthy successor

[@finnleykenneth7808]

dunno if anyone gives a shit but if you're stoned like me atm you can watch all of the new series on instaflixxer. Been streaming with my gf during the lockdown xD

[@kyrieshiloh9518]

@Finnley Kenneth yup, I've been using InstaFlixxer for since november myself :D

[@andyw5962]

I know this is a 2 year old video, I’ve only just gotten back into BFV….but I have to ask why do you say Zee and not Zed?

[@elopez1882]

Reminds me of the 1917 RSC in BF1. I loved two-tapping with that gun.

[@livered7813]

And now the rsc is weaker than the 1906

[@livered7813]

@Doubt It BfV, RSC is weaker than the Selbstlader 1906; opposite from bf1

[@livered7813]

@Doubt It sorry about the confusion

[@amandajas6287]

Wow. I'm very impressed. Between the historical breakdown and the sheer breadth of information given, I love this type of review!

[@livered7813]

I love how you play with different scopes so it makes it more of a personnel choice than trying to copy you

[@AK-tu7ng]

My fav gun since the beta, I was heartbroken when they changed the ttk and made this a 3 shot kill for a bit. Thank you for the video!!!! Keep them coming g !!!

[@carterhajek8208]

It used to be a one shot head shot in the beta kinda makes bolt action rifles pointless

[@AK-tu7ng]

carter hajek yeah they had to change that ASAP for balancing, it would of been a huge hit to snipers

[@Elbalisco]

@@carterhajek8208 bolt action are already pointless they got nerfed way too hard.

[@carterhajek8208]

How are they supposed to balance them without making them exactly like cod?

[@therealw04]

I hate this thing.

[@butteredmap9064]

I have played non-recon classes mainly up until recently but after being only able to use the Model 8 I think I'll enjoy the 2-shot kills at all ranges

[@arkhamwarrior8885]

Nice, I didn't actually realise the detachable mags empty reloads are slower than the clips reloads

[@hjom8733]

but that one extra round is so crucial with the detachable mag

[@JohnSmith-jy4qj]

Not when using a 3x or 6x scope

[@nicklab1927]

It's a good gun. Reminds me a lot of the RSC in BF1: powerful, 2 shots kill, high vertical recoil. In BF5, I think the RSC is underwhelming. Maybe due to the fact I got used to its BF1 version =)

[@EmmaTheShark]

The BF1 RSC is pretty much identical to the BFV one. It's the ZH-29 and Selbstlader 1906 doing more damage that makes it seem worse in V than 1.

[@LawrenceLatrellJacksonMcknight]

@@EmmaTheShark the bf1 rsc used to shoot slower before a patch and would 2 shot up to 50 m. After the ttk patch in bf1 , the 2 shot kill range got extended to 70 meters and the rsc shot faster I think 160-170 rof upgrade after the patch.

[@genjistrikes5386]

One of the best guns in the game, the muzzle velocity is insane on this thing

[@josephmccafferty4172]

After hearing that there was a 10 to 25 round mag for this thing, now I want them in BF5. The self-loading rifles compared to how fast the semiautomatic rifles in assault class shoot, along with some being able to kill at long range with only 3-4 hits makes them a bit useless.

[@ferittuzer4629]

the added recoil of those 3-4 shots make it hard to kill with semi-autos at long ranges though. This gun is perfect.

[@metalcore9886]

Thank God you're still making BF5 videos and haven't jumped on the Apex legends bandwagon

[@aryanharkawat1331]

So a lot of the gaming community and youtubers made Apex Legends videos for a few weeks because they burned out of their current games and needed something different. It's a very good game and that's why a lot of streamers and youtubers played it and made videos on it.

[@metalcore9886]

@@aryanharkawat1331 I've played it, not a fan, although it's better than fortnight I find BR games to be too slow, spend 10 minutes gathering loot only to get sniped by someone miles away, it seems most of the battlefield YTers are all over it atm

[@blueismyfavoritecolor9735]

Deadly af, nice throwing knife kills btw

[@skubaRu7]

I knew this gun was good soon as I unlocked it. I was wondering why I don’t see a lot of people running it

[@bananaskinz6693]

Wow that recoil is nuts 5:22

[@nelsonhuang3033]

VERY VERY VERY DETAILED VIDEO, I sensed strong enthusiasm in this, HIGHLY RECOMMEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEND

[@kitchenjail3546]

Battlefield 1: super acurate reload animations Battlefield 5: incorrect animations, ZH 29 bolt does not lock open when empty, unlike the real rifle which does.

[@chadchristman2198]

Dammnit Kris now I have to level recon

[@Sharkivitis]

If they implement the 25 RND box mag... Boooooyyyyyy... I want to see it just so it breaks the game 😂

[@thesovietdrugdealer.7166]

I hope that happens just to see how much it breaks the game lol

[@aceradical7517]

[@yogibearthebear6774]

CAPTAIN AZRALE amen to that, I was looking for this comment lol

[@sofaslapper8715]

ZH-29 is such a bullshit gun. Fucking NoSkill-29

[@riichobamin7612]

Why on Earth does a semi-automatic rifle have a higher muzzle velocity than a bolt action rifle ? AWESOME VIDEO though man ! Appreciate it.

[@niktomapache]

Great video, love these reviews!

[@genjistrikes5386]

Best recon weapon by far

[@ceenote74]

New sub loved the upload nice tech minded review the British BFV Drift0r lol 👍👍👍

[@lukasbrucas3027]

Nice video as always, Kris!

[@bald_egg_5944]

I swear, the thing feels like the Dragonov rifle to me

[@ptr257]

instantly subbed, keep up the good work

[@loganvanzomeren5985]

Please do a guide on the rsc

[@delta8614]

My recon rank is 10 but i cant take it. It says "avaible next round"

[@thestørmcrier2024]

Are you doing polls on social media for what guns to do or is it just random/personal order preference? Also good guide as per always

[@KriticalKris]

Just random at the moment, might start doing that again though (maybe on twitter)

[@jamesgordon3274]

If you are considering requests, I would love an MMG review, lol

[@theheadshotking2578]

Nice vid, love these

[@joshtonkin7684]

What’s the intro song called?

[@joeiacobacci6978]

This is why I unfortunately use this op fucking weapon,, it's actually quite scary how deadly this is. In terms of pvp and all round purposes, it can do it all, sure you got 6 rounds but you can take out 3 Targets maybe even 4, aside from that it's my main weapon other from the shelb, bren and Enfield, as much as I enjoy assault class this gun just beats everything

[@yamyeeter1185]

wait, kris I thought you were British. Why don't you call it the "Zed H - 29"

[@alexfusneica2624]

It's easier to say "zee" than "zed"

[@Womtek1]

For the assigment, I hate this gun and all the other SLR beacuse you need them headshots.....

[@Jauchezipfel]

Hey Kris,im still using your settings and i was wondering if you changed anything since they added new options/settings.

[@KriticalKris]

Yeah, I've tweaked deadzone settings (turned centre and axial to 0%, and input threshold to 85%) also got soldier aim sensitivity to 100%, though that's about it really. (very sensitive settings, so it might be a bit too much for most players)

[@Jauchezipfel]

@@KriticalKris Alright thx for the quick response :)

[@rohanvyas1766]

but hitting your shots is so NICE...

[@RedZeee]

These guides are really good for one specific weapon but not really if you want to compare multiple weapons really fast. I see you just list Symthic as your source but I can't actually find any stats for BF5 on that site...?

[@mdc_dashie]

Ze insane Medic the Symthic website stopped being updated right after the beta of BFV, but instead a new forum has been setup (they still go by symthic iirc). Here’s their new tool for comparing Weapons now bfdata.juhala.io/pages/comparison.html

[@Gyushinoo]

All you can really say about it is that it’s overpowered

[@montecarlo8325]

Nah

[@stazz423]

Its way to op (all semi snipers) i hate it, it doesn't require any skill compared to the bolties.

[@genjistrikes5386]

Not really, it's powerful sure, but it kicks like a mule and fires a lot slower than the other slrs

[@GuitarHeroHardyMaste]

i think all slrs in bfv are really underpowered currently (on pc at least) and semiautos are too strong on the assault, mainly because you can get similar ttk between gewehr 43 and zh-29/1906, with the exception of the gewehr 43 being more forgiving and usable at more ranges (no headshots) i don't see any merit in them aside from the RSC just cause that thing has decent reload speeds and can 2-shot up close, but at range it performs worse than a g43 (no headshots, however both are 3 shot body shot kills at minimum however the g43 has almost double the rpm and mag cap) imo semiautos need to be reworked a bit to be made harder to use at range and slrs need to be given something to make them more skilled weapons given their reduced rpm and capacity (e.g one shot headshots at close to medium range), as unironically atm the best slr is the fucking mkvi revolver

[@MushroomCloudGaming]

ZH-29 = 500 or 400ms all range (heaviest recoil) (Depends on ROF) 1906 = 400ms all range (lower recoil, single bullet reloads w scopes) RSC = 337ms 0 -50m, 670ms 51m+ (lower recoil, ability to mount scopes whilst using mags) Model 8 200RPM = 300ms 0 -50m, 620ms 51m+ (Fastest

[@pazmastert46]

I love this gun, but they nerfed it to 3 shots kill. How the hell are we supposed to get the final mastery now? 20 Headshot kills on the objective in one round? As soon as you hit your target once, they're gonna make a run for it! It will be almost impossible to get!

[@blueismyfavoritecolor9735]

It's still 2 shot, went to 3 shot in the ttk patch which got reverted back

[@pazmastert46]

My friend said they nerfed it... And in combined arms I had to make 3 shots to get a kill. I hope this is only for combined arms. Still 20 Headshot kills on the objective in one round is too hard for this gun.

[@Sodapopper100]

Play combined arms on solo. Easy

[@pazmastert46]

But there are no objectives area's in combined arms

[@WOMPITUS]

I’m at level 10 and the damn thing didn’t unlock. Fucking typical

[@jkeegs1963]

Try it at close range its crap which makes no sense every time I'll come up close to a soldier enemy 2 ft away and the bloody thing misses

[@lil_vault_boy]

I suggest using the revolver instead of the gun as it is the gun has limited ammo so I just restrict it for medium to long range but in getting better at snapping to targets with the medium scope so try that

[@jkeegs1963]

@@lil_vault_boy I do use the pistol I was just surprised at how bad ar close range it was

[@Sebby_04]

This gun doesn’t need a guide.

[@jamisoncock5970]

This is the gun used by people who are trash at sniping

[@jahkoozi9860]

If you use this gun you cant snipe

[@WorkInProgressX]

Arguably one of the ugliest guns in game. Excellent guide nonetheless

[@FrederickHohenzollern]

Together with the VGO
