Best Attachments for Close to Mid-Range

The VCAR is a close to mid range marksman rifle. It needs a bit of investment for it to shine, but it's worth it for fans of this weapon.

The best scope for the VCAR is the Fusion Holo for close-range fights and the TV 2X for mid-range.

The Close Combat / Drum is the best ammo type for the VCAR. This attachment will turn it into a full auto marksman rifle, which makes it a deadly close combat weapon due to its high firepower stat.

For the best underbarrel, the BCG Light Grip will be a requirement for the gun. This grip will give the best recoil control when it comes to close-range fights.

Lastly, the Tactical Compensator is the best barrel attachment for the VCAR. This weapon has a lot of horizontal deviation to its recoil pattern, so we will want to keep the spread as tight as possible.

Best Specialist for VCAR

Specialist	Strengths
Mackay	Mackay can use his Grappling Hook specialty to get reach unaccessible vantage points to shoot enemies from. The VCAR can also work as an excellent close-range weapon for more aggressive players.
Casper	Casper's Movement Sensor trait will warn you when any enemies are nearby in a 50m radius. This is the perfect range to maximize the VCAR.
