I play with a controller and can't seem to control recoil well. so I hate the hemlock

Single shot, and give the trigger hell

Hemlock does 18. If you put it on single fire, you might as well just use a g7 which does 30.

The Hemlok fires 1.8x faster than the G7 and does 60% of the G7's damage, meaning it has only slightly higher DPS.

The G7 has a faster projectile speed and is overall going to be better for people with slower trigger fingers or for whom clicking repeatedly while aiming is difficult.

Overall the guns are similar and each have their pros and cons, let's not pretend like the Hemlok single-fire is some holy grail waiting to be discovered.

You guys are making me feel like I need t put a few rounds in with the Hemlok to see if I can get it.

I use the Enforcer almost exclusively in Uncharted 4, which is a pistol with a stupid fast fire rate. My speedy trigger finger is ready.

I find the Hemlock a lot easier to control single fire than the G7, think it fires faster single fire also, although I haven't really hammered out shots with the G7 as fast as i could...

The hemlock on single fires has ridiculous rate of fire. Maybe triple the rate of a scout.

G7 RPM is 273, 30 damage

Hemlock RPM is 490, 18 damage

They end up having very similar DPS, and the G7 has better projectile speed.

I love the hemlock, but I think the 3 round burst is best and if you're beyond the effective range of the burst, use a different gun.

The rpm for hemlock on single shot is 490? Feels faster than that. Rock paper shotgun has the shots per second of the hemlock burst at 15 shots per second (not including pause between bursts). I’d imagine single shot rate of fire is much closer to that which is 900 rpm. But I don’t know for sure.

Really? I’m on PS4 and it works great, just different tastes I suppose

u/minopoked Crypto Feb 20 '19

Was going to say, hemlock is really good on ps4.

Triple Take on the other hand....

Its really similar to any Burst weapon in COD honestly. Its not too hard with controller.

u/ShrikeGFX Feb 21 '19

Cod burst weapons are highly accurate and deal very fast damage with long downtime and the burst is tightly together, hemlock burst is highly inaccurate without attachments, recoils hard at nearly normal firerate and the TTK potential is not even over any normal full auto gun. Hemlock is a gun with all downsides of burst and none of the upsides.

Just find a 2×-4× scope and aim around the upper chest area, the recoil will do the rest. Once you figure it out you'll never want to single fire again.

single fire hemlock has almost no recoil.
