The CB-ARX Newton is BUSTED | My New Favourite Carbine?

The CB-ARX Newton is the reward for completing the carbine directive as an NS Operative... and it is without question becoming one of my favourite weapons in the game right now. It just provides all the fun in the world. Let's talk about it! If you enjoyed the video backhand that like button! Feedback is always appreciated.

As someone with more time/kills on NSO than most players, Newton is currently the best primary weapon in the game and yes it needs a nerf. But if/when it gets a nerf hopefully other parts of the NSO arsenal get buffed up to compensate.

Why Cami? Why spread the word? You want this thing to get nerfed?🤭This weapon is absolutely nuts. I'm that speed demon LA and this weapon is just insane. If you can even remotely aim for the head, the increased projectile size will make you pop heads in cqb like they are corn under a flame. I've been grinding because I want this thing on my medic too. Honestly, half the time I use this gun I feel like cheating. It's like having day 1 release unstable ammo Canis all over again. It has been my quickest aurax medal in the game. It's that good. Going back to any other weapon after using the Newton is like going back from a Ferrari to your old crumbling station wagon. Its only downside is its tiny magazine and limited ammo pool forcing you to run something like ammo belt or ammo printer not to run out of ammo while you are stomping a tower or a building.

Just a heads up for players doing the NSO carbines directive. Newton is totally worth it (especially with drifter jets), but it is a painful journey to get there. Good luck with CB-100, CB-200 and Tanto. Luckily there's NS-11C and CB-X75. I'd save those two last.

"The Newton's hipfire can't hold a candle to the ADS accuracy of conventional weapons." Not exactly. With a laser sight, the Newton has a 0.67 COF. The Gauss SAW, headhunter extraordinaire, has an ADS COF of 0.55. So I'd definitely say the Newton can hold a candle to conventional ADS accuracy

[@CAMIKAZE78]

Not entirely correctly, the NC7 Gauss Saw has an ADS C.O.F. of 0.4 while moving and standing, and when standing a perfect 0. There's certainly a downgrade in accuracy.

[@costinmicu7721]

I'm wondering why it took you so long to get to this weapon. Were you saving the video for as long as possible, enjoying the weapon until the nerf, or were you simply slow in acquiring it? I'm asking because most self-respecting tryhards on my tryhard server already have it.

[@aquapendulum]

I haven't got this directive reward, but from how it's described, Newton looks like the result of going in the complete opposite direction from the Horizon of VS and somehow still end up at a near proximity, though I don't think that comparison will do this gun a favor. A small starting COF still loses to the zero starting COF of the Horizon even while flying. It's lacking at range while the Horizon (with Capsulate Ammunition) can become a legit mid-to-long range option. Larger projectile size makes the Newton more rookie-friendly as opposed to the high skill floor of the Horizon (you put your aim right at the spot or you miss), which is... kinda bizarre that this trait is in a directive reward weapon.

[@bananaboye3759]

The Horizon has "0" starting COF but it does have spread all the same. It is literally impossible for a Horizon projectile to land on your crosshair, for example. But aside from that, the Newton has other advantages: - ability to equip impulse launcher/suppressor - double the max damage range - superior damage model - higher ADS move speed - when you get a hitmarker, you don't have to guess whether it did full damage or half damage

[@littletweeter1327]

its shocking how little people talk about this gun. i guess because most people dont play nso. the most egregiously busted gun in the game imo.

[@CAMIKAZE78]

Yeah, it's mainly going to come from a degree of exposure to the weapon from more people. And on top of that, how many people intend on looking at it from a critical perspective as opposed to just enjoying it without saying anything. That's not a dig at anyone in particular, just how some choose to approach game balance (which I can't say I blame).

This is the perfect example of directive weapon design. Unique, powerful, fun. To be honest i think built-in "unstable ammo" is a bit to much, especially without headshot debuff. Other than that it is completely fine weapon and i don't understand why it recieves so much hate from victims (again, excluding that unnessesary "easy mode" bullets). One of the best carabines in the game. Top 5 in my personal list, alongside with Tanto, Horizon, AC-X11 and Pulsar C.

[@espanadorada7962]

Well I think the unnecessary grapefruit sized bullets with the full HS multiplier are the entire reason it gets hate, which is justified. You can literally hipfire beam people at like 30+m while flying through the air 4x faster than a ground strafe. That’s busted enough to deserve some criticism

while flying as a LA, the horizon will split the 3 projectiles horizontaly which (depending on the distance or the ammo type you are running) makes you lose 2/3 of your damage output.

[@planetmanside2641]
