The wind came down from the plateau, blowing through the battlefield of dust and gunfire. Some people stand on the top of the mountain, while others run in the valley. The world is updating, and even the most familiar tools are changing. In the 2.8 version, the AUG gun is no longer a rare weapon in the sky, but comes to the ground, competing and fighting with thousands of people in the world, like a wild horse that once ran on the snow line, walking down the mountain and mixing into the camel herd on the grassland.
It was originally an elite born from an airdrop box, and now it is in the same world as the old horse M416, which makes people inevitably make some comparisons. This comparison is like two rivers meeting at the foot of the mountain, a confrontation between speed, strength and fate. Starting from the damage value, both stand on the number 41, like two seemingly equal peaks, but upon closer inspection, the terrain, wind direction, and water source are different, making each way up the mountain have its own hardships and scenery.
Control is the essence of all shooting art. The recoil of a gun is the hidden wind, the echo of the earth after every pull of the trigger. In the past, the recoil of AUG was small, because it was born in airdrops and had advantages from the beginning of its design. Now, its recoil has been adjusted again – 20% vertically reduced, and 20% of the horizontal frenzy has been cut, like a tamed horse, which retains its wildness and is willing to obey the master’s gestures when running. In comparison, although the M4 is stable, it is more likely to lose control when firing continuously, like an old craftsman, who has moments of failure in between skilled gestures.
But this is not a simple battle of victory or defeat. The M4 is one second faster in reloading speed. That second may be a breathing space when facing the enemy, or it may be a desperate situation when the opponent is pressing. The AUG bullet is faster, 900 meters per second, more than the 880 meters of the M4, but what does that 20-meter speed mean in the real melee world? Maybe it just makes the wind pass the enemy’s ears a little earlier.
When shooting from the hip, the AUG is also more accurate, because it is stable, just like a carved stone that does not shake easily in the wind and sand. But how many people can survive by shooting from the hip? In the intersection of mountains and cities, in the flames and smoke, what is truly tested is the human heart – trust in weapons, grasp of rhythm, and judgment of fate.
The change of versions is like the arrival of monsoons, and all familiar orders may be disrupted. AUG fell from a high place, no longer rare, but not so easy to find. Some people say it is as rare as M24, which means that luck is still needed. But if you encounter it, you might as well try the feedback of the grip and the more stable trajectory. Maybe you will find that this horse from a high place can still run like the wind in the mud.
Of course, this world is not only about performance, but also about face. Skin is like armor, and if a gun is not decorated with brilliance, it will inevitably be looked down upon. So, the virtual currency called UC became the key to changing the appearance. How can I get it faster? Some roads can be shortcutted, and places like Treabar provide better options than the original ones, just like a narrow path that actually leads directly to the top of the mountain, but you don’t often walk it.
In the end, no matter whether the gun in your hand is AUG or M4, it will eventually obey your will and decide who will survive and who will be silent in countless confrontations. And behind this gun dispute, what is hidden is actually everyone’s attitude towards change – whether to stick to the familiar or embrace the new life.
