Question about covert ops weapons

There is often lots of people on TS in Covert ops channel. I`m thinking about spending some certs in my infiltrator, so the question is: what weapon i should aim for to fit well in covert ops squad? After reading several guides i`m thinking between HSR-1 (yay, no sway) and TSAR-42. Or you guys are sniping long range? Or maybe going point blank with pistols? Please no flaming, holy wars or smt, just witch weapon would be best for noob like me most of the time in covert ops squad. Or i would be better just supplying ammo/guarding sunderer and should not bother about infiltrator life?

CQ-infil. Most of the time they are using SMGs like th NS-7 PDW or the aimasist

Depends completely on your cloak-type and the range you wish to operate at, as well as your own preference for how loud you will allow your weapons to be.

If you use the Stalker cloak you only get a secondary weapons and knives, but there are a variety of those for your tastes.

Other than that with the standard Hunter cloak you won't have infinite cloaking but you can use main weapons like SMG's, scout rifles, semi-auto snipers and bolt-action snipers.

Personally I like running ambush-tactics with SMG's but that's me. Depending on what weapons you use your tactics change completely, SMG's are CQB weapons, scout rifles are more geared for mid-range and sniper are ofc mid to long range depending on type. Don't take bolt-actiosn into mid range and try to stay at medium ranges if you use a semi-auto, etc.

My general advice to you is to silence your close to mid range weapons, at these ranges the silence'rs negative effects won't impact you much at all. The sound don't get muffled very much but you won't appear on people's radars and this helps you greatly in staying hidden, ESPECIALLY if you run ambush tactics with an SMG.

Its why i ask - depending on weapon differs playstyle a lot. So what weapons you use in covert ops squad? I dont plan to run alone, want to be a usefull squad member.

The covert team consists of:
284 (Jim) - CQC hunter SMG - Armistice
Loffen - CQC hunter SMG and Scout rifle - Armistice and Vandal
Madmexx - Stalker with AMP
Rasmoscar - Stalker with Ripper
OhHellNaw - Hunter with Scout rifle - Vandal

The choice of weapon and cloak truly depends on your play style, either the aggressive soldier, or the passive soldier

To be a useful player for a Covert ops squad, it is kinda mandatory for you to be able to fight close range. So the TSAR is a bit of a dodgy call for our squads but it is possible. Best pistols are amp/comissioner/underboss/repeater - in that order personally. But comissioner is better for aggressive stalker with more versatility with range. Ripper is a nice addition but it is more a replacement for the secondary than an addition; maybe not worth the thousand certs yet.
For hunter, the scout rifles are more versatile than smg because they can be used at close range to, but not quite aswell as the smg. The vandal is awesome but the KSR will do fine aswell, and is cheaper. The armistice is the best smg however the NS PDW is more alround range - get the armistice over the ns pdw because more worth it.
Sniper is not close enough range, however if you are looking for a cheap one, the m77-b is a really good alternative to the rams 50.

Whether you play aggressively or passivly is normally up to you, Hope this helped.

Kind of wrong, the repeater is the best of all pistols;D You just have to get used to it. M77B best sniper ingame, for me it feels, like it have a huge bigger bullet hitbox;D

Bruuhhhh rams 50 best sniper duh. ;D

Crossbow and commissioner are my favorite pistols for the stalker infil!

Crossbow is hard to use. But good if you got da skill

Thanks everyone for advices, i will aim for Madmexx choice - Stalker with AMP. Seems to suit my playstyle of hiding in corners and shooting down unsuspected enemies from behind. Or flanking and shooting from behind
