COD COLD WAR: GUIDE TO USING THE FARA 83

 

With the arrival of the second season of Call of Duty Black Ops Cold War, the players of this very popular shooter found themselves able to use a new and fearsome weapon: the FARA 83 assault rifle. This rifle, unlockable from level 14 of the Battle Pass is reliable in any situation and for all styles of play . The high rate of fire, good damage rate, and predictable, easy-to-handle recoil already make it one of the most popular around in Cold War.

In this guide, however, we will go to see why it is so strong, in addition to the ideal setup to make the most of its potential and be able to defeat even the enemies who use it in turn.

COLD WAR, THE STRONG POINTS OF FARA 83

First of all, let's check out some interesting statistics about this new assault rifle. The FARA 83, dealing an average of 28-31 damage per hit, requires 5-6 hits to kill an enemy . It does not multiply the damage to the body in any way, and with headshots we have a multiplier of only 1.25%. This leads to headshot damage of 35-38, forcing us to hit enemies 2 to 4 times before being able to kill them. This, of course, makes headshots rather useless for this weapon , being difficult to land, and makes body fire much more useful and manageable. 

The rate of fire is excellent, the second best in the category in Cold War, with 800 shots per minute, behind only the AFFAR. This leads it to give you the fastest kills in the segment of assault rifles, on par with the AK-74u, when you hit the body. In fact, it only takes 300 milliseconds to put an end to the suffering of those who stand in front of it , practically a blink of an eye! Precisely for this reason, given the scarce advantage of hitting the head with this weapon, it is superfluous to complicate your life: hit the body and the rate of fire will do the rest.

The speed of the bullets you will fire is also incredible, the best of all rifles, since those started by the FARA 83 are able to cover a good 675 meters per second . As well as the range within which our bullets will be lethal: 63.5 meters, a huge amount when compared to other weapons of the same type, especially if we consider that this figure is obtained without objects that further increase their capacity. Basically, in all the fights you end up in, you will be in ideal conditions, despite the distance, to land the 5-6 hits needed to earn a kill.

THE SORE POINT, THE (FEW) FLAWS OF THE WEAPON

For all these positives, however, the FARA 83 also has, of course, some weaknesses. The ADS (Aim Down Sight) time, which is the time required to switch to a “hip shot” position, is the slowest of all assault rifles : 325 milliseconds. Even the lifting time of the weapon while running is not the best, with a given base of 400 milliseconds which is also confirmed in this case as the worst in the category. As well as the recharge time , more concretely problematic than the two previous data, which takes us away well 2.225 seconds, an eternity, for example in close fights inside buildings . The problem can, however, be easily solved by equipping magazines that reduce their duration.

IDEAL SETUP WITHOUT WILDCARD

Let's now go to see the most valid grafts to further improve the extraordinary performance of this weapon, without however selecting any Wildcard . With the FARA 83, even if it varies according to your style, it is good to equip a silencer to avoid being easily detected by your opponents. It will slightly reduce the range in which you will be lethal and the speed of the bullets, but being the best in the category as we have seen before, it does not matter. At the muzzle it is good to install the Spetsnaz, which further reduces the recoil and greatly increases our control of the weapon. With this addition, the FARA 83 becomes practically immobile and even easier to use .

Instead, we will prefer the GRU to the handle, which increases the charging speed by 33%, which is fundamental given the slowness of the base, in addition to always increasing the maximum capacity of the charger by 33%. Finally we have the GRU elastic coating on the adjustable stock, which improves a lot (30%) the other Achilles heel of FARA, the ADS.

With this setup, our assault rifle will have slightly worse stats where it is already dominant, and considerably better where it was in deficit. The range will be 54 meters, the bullet speed of 573.75 meters per second and the reload time will even drop to 1.35. The running weapon lifting time will drop to 297 milliseconds and the ADS to 247.

IDEAL SETUP WITH THE PISTOLERO WILDCARD

Alternatively we can choose a different setting, but equally performing and fun. To do this we will have, this time, to choose a specific Wildcard, in this case "Gunslinger", which allows us to equip even 8 additions to our primary weapon . This, of course, greatly increases the ability to customize and improve our beloved FARA 83. By having more slots available, we will be able to insert items that we had reluctantly given up previously.

An example of these is the optical viewfinder, where it is good to take a Microflex Led. The GRU Silencer, which also slightly increases our control over vertical oscillation and the 19.5 ”Liberator barrel. The latter dramatically increases the speed of our bullets by 100% . At the body of the weapon we select the Constant Aim Laser, which increases our accuracy by 20%. At the sprint we find the Spetsnaz which, combined with these other objects, to ndo almost completely the weapon recoil .

At the handle in this case we will choose the VDV, which will make us walking war machines. In fact, this graft will increase the magazine capacity, the ammunition storage capacity and also the number of bullets with which you will start the game by 67%. It will also increase the reload speed by 37%! At the adjustable stock we will still choose the GRU elastic coating, which reduces ADS. Finally, the KGB Skeletal as Stock which increases our movement speed.

With these new settings our FARA 83 will have considerable numbers. The range will be 42, 56 meters, lower than the basic statistic but still very respectable. The speed of the bullets will reach the astronomical figure of 1147, 5 meters per second! The reload speed will be good, 1.47 seconds and the weapon lifting time in the run of 297 milliseconds. Finally, the ADS will be 308.75 milliseconds. With this setup you can adopt a more hybrid combat system, aiming as in the first case to hit from medium-long distance, but also being able to unleash the John Rambo that is in you by attacking enemies face to face.

In short, the FARA 83 is currently one of the most solid weapons you can rely on in Cold War . This assault rifle is simple to use, stable and will bring you a lot of satisfaction, especially if structured as we have explained to you.
