In today’s Black Ops 2 tip we’ll be covering the Select Fire attachment. The Select Fire attachment is a brand new gun attachment to Call of Duty debuting in this year’s Black Ops 2. In lay man’s terms the Select Fire attachment enables Burst and Single Fire guns to be shot Fully Auto while Full Auto guns can be shot in bursts. The attachment can be very useful with some guns while completely ruining others. This article will outline the advantages and disadvantages of using the Select Fire attachment on your guns.
To start off the Select Fire attachment is only available with SMGs and Assault Rifles so we’ll obviously be focusing on those.
The MP7, PDW, MSMC and Vector are general low recoil guns, so using Select Fire won’t be of use. The Chicom on the other hand was made for the attachment, the gun’s fire rate doesn’t decrease by a lot and the recoil pattern stays pretty good, so I certainly recommend you use it with it. The Skorpion can also benefit from a Burst Fire mode as the gun has a lot of recoil while Aiming Down Sight (ADS).
In the Assault Rifle category I didn’t feel any use of the attachment on the MTAR, Type 25 and M27. The FAL OSW and SMR benefit greatly from the attachment as its easier to get kills if your aim or trigger finger is not that good. The recoil on the SMR will increase a bit along with the Fire Rate on both these guns being slowed down a notch. With the AN94 I would recommend you learn to control the bursts as the gun fires the first two bullets of each Burst faster. So if you can learn to fire it in Bursts of two , which is very easy by the way, then you don’t need to waste a point on the attachment.
For the M8AI I would recommend using it in Burst Fire as its easier to fire fast on the gun by getting your timing rite to oversample the fire pattern, there is also a lot less recoil in Burst compared to Full Auto with the gun. The SCAR-H can be used effectively with Burst Fire as it greatly reduces the recoil and back to center speed on the gun. Lastly the SWAT should never be used with Select Fire as it greatly reduces the range of the weapon as seen in this video here.
