Type-56D needler/Gameplay


 * Smart scoping with the Needler is not as effective as it might seem; while it does increase the range at which the needles track their target, it does nothing to increase their flight speed. If engaging a target who is aware of you, fire from the hip for best results.
 * If you end up on the wrong end of a Needler, a quick thrust around a piece of cover can save your life. Follow up with a grenade to deter the Needler user from following you for a clean getaway.
 * The two Warzone variants of the Needler (Hailstorm and Talon of the Lost) are situation but efficient upgrades. Hailstorm is basically a straight upgrade to the standard Needler with a larger magazine, faster needles and slightly stronger tracking, and Talon of the Lost is an anti-vehicle Needler. While not as efficient against something heavy like a tank, it works well enough against Ghosts and Mongooses.
 * No matter the version of Needler you use, dont spare the ammo; if you think you have enough rounds in the target to kill them with a supercombine, hit them with a few more.
