Attachment Loadouts

Best Attachments for Close to Mid-Range

The DM7 is a versatile marksman rifle that can be used effectively in close to mid-range combat. Using a combination of the Fusion Holo sight and the Rattlesnake Light Grip gives you enough mobility up-close, allowing you to use the DM7 like a semi-auto assault rifle. For mid-range combat, the Shan 2.5x is a great sight that gives you more flexibility.

Best Attachments for Long Range

Using the DM7 at long range is similar to how you would use a sniper rifle. Use a Raven 4x sight to give you the best effective range to hit distant targets. Adding an Extended Barrel and ADR Bipod also help improve your sniping capability. The next step is to find a vantage point that can take advantage of your loadout and snipe away.

Best Specialists for DM7

DM7 is a marksman weapon similar to a single fire Assault Rifle, it but packs more of a punch and has better accuracy for mid to long-range distance shootouts. It is best for Specialists who can quickly go to high ground or set up defenses to take out enemy snipers.

Specialist	Strengths
Mackay	The Grappling Hook allows Mackay to get to high ground quickly and snipe from there.
Irish	The Fortification System gives Irish greater survivability, providing cover while aiming.
Angel	The Loadout Crate can be used as cover for Angel while also recovering armor and ammo.
