K30 Update #3.1 Patch Notes |
---|
•
Adjusted dispersion values for most weapons, which results in a faster dispersion decrease when tap firing or doing short bursts • Adjusted dispersion increases for most weapons. It now takes slightly longer for weapons to become overly inaccurate in sustained fire • Additional improvements to recoil control for all weapons, more specifically automatic weapons. • Improved hip fire accuracy for all SMGs to make them better stand-out from other automatic weapon archetypes • Fixed a bug that caused bullets to be fired below the player’s aims |

The TTK was computed by using the following formula: (60/Rate of Fire)*(BTK-1).
The Standard Magazine has the best TTK for close to mid-range fights by a few fractions of a second. Not only that, but the Standard ammo is the only drum mag type for the K30, which it will need because of its very high rate of fire.

The last unlockable weapon for SMGs, the K30 boasts the highest firepower and rate of fire in its category. Its attachments are very linear, so it's a simple gun to customize.
For the scope, the best attachment would be the Fusion Holo with its minimal screen clutter. You also have the option of going with the 8R Holo if you want the extra magnification, but using anything higher than 1.5X isn't a good option due to the increased recoil.
The Standard Issue / Drum Mag will be the best ammo type for the K30. It has the highest magazine capacity and the best TTK for close to mid range.
You can take advantage of the K30's high mobility by using a BCG Light Grip. This is the best attachment for the K30 since it increases your accuracy while moving.
Lastly, you have two options of either the 6KU Suppressor or the Warhawk Compensator for the barrel slot. The suppressor will be useful for taking contested objectives, but the Warhawk Compensator is an important attachment for weapons with a high rate of fire.
