Mechanic | Best weaponry Battlefield Hardline Guide

Last update: 11 May 2016

The Mechanic class can use two machine pistols. These are immensely effective weapons, over short distances. Their features are a high rate of fire and good hip accuracy. Some of the PDWs deal even higher damage than some of assault rifles and carbines. The best ones are K10 - the master of close quarters combat and UMP-45 - a weapon that works a bit better over medium distances.

K10

Available for	The police
Rate of fire	1200 rounds per minute
Maximum damage (up to 10 meters)	34
Minimum damage (from 30 meters)	12
Bullet's nozzle velocity	310 m/s
Ammo capacity	25 + 1
Reload time, when the clip is empty	2,23 s
Reload time, when chambered	1,5 s

Number of shots to kill

At the distance of up to 10 meters, you only require 3 bullets into the chest to kill, 40 are required for 4 the distance of 18 meters, whereas the number of necessary bullets rises abruptly, at the distance of 30 meters, where you need as many as 9 bullets.

Recoil

Recoil of the K10 is not too difficult to control. Recoil to the left and to the right compensate for each other and the vertical climb is not too high. To counter it, you simply need to pull the mouse back.

Spread

K10 is a weapon designed for short distances only. Its spread is not too wide and this does not cause problems, while shooting at the distance of up to 10 meters - at such distance, you can fire in continuous fire. At the distance of 20 meters, you need to take short breaks between the individual bursts. The K10 is useless at a distance longer than 25 meters. This is due to the high rate of fire, which empties the clip in no time at all. Also, due to the pattern of damage, it is better to use a revolver, at such distance.

Hip shooting

A great advantage of the K10 is a very good hip accuracy. If you combine this with a laser sight, you can rely on the weapon even at the distance of 5 meters.

Attachments

Definitely, it is best to mount an RDS on the K10. It may be a collimator, or even an iron sight. Over the distance, for which you most frequently use this weapon, this makes not much difference.

Definitely, the best accessory for this weapon is the iron sight. This greatly improves hip accuracy of the weapon.

The K10 does not require any attachments that would increase its accuracy. Over short distances, bullets fly wherever you aim the weapon. This is why, it is best to attach the suppressor, which does not affect the accuracy, and thanks to which you remain unspotted on the minimap.

Upsides

Definitely, the greatest advantages of the K10 are the rate of fire and damage dealt. Thanks to them, the weapon kills enemies, over short distances, very quickly. Also, relatively good hip accuracy, and accuracy in movement, should be remembered.

Downsides

Unfortunately, there also are downsides to the K10. Due to the high rate of fire and ammo capacity of 25 bullets, you run out of ammo in the blink on an eye. This PDW deals very low damage, at the distance of 30 meters. You then require as many as 9 bullets to kill the enemy.

UMP-45

Available for	Criminals
Rate of fire	600 rounds per minute
Maximum damage (up to 15 meters)	34
Minimum damage (from 30 meters)	20
Bullet's nozzle velocity	320 m/s
Ammo capacity	25 + 1
Reload time, when the clip is empty	2,73 s
Reload time, when chambered	2,25 s

Number of shots to kill

With the UMP-45, you need to hit the opponent 3 times into the chest, to kill at the distance of up to 15 meters. Between 16 and 24 meters, you require 4 bullets and, at the distance of 25 meters and higher, you need 5 bullets.

Recoil

Recoil of the UMP is very easy to counter. You do not need to move the mouse sideways, because recoil to the left compensates for recoil to the right.

Spread

The spread of the UMP-45 is not as narrow as in the case of attack rifles, but the rate of fire of the PDW is quite low, thanks to which spread is not too much of a problem. At the distance of 15 meters, you can conduct continuous fire, but at the distance of 20 meters, it is better to take short breaks, because you need to 4 hits at such a distance and the, ammo capacity is barely 25 bullets. While using the UMP, it is also a good idea to aim, the first shot, to the head.

Hip shooting

UMP-45 has a decent hip accuracy. However, this is a small consolation, because at the rate of fire, of 600 rounds per minute, it is still easy to lose the fight over a short distance. In such a situation, it is a good idea to aim to the opponent's head.

Attachments

You do not need any sight with zoom increase, for the UMP. As an optic device, one of collimators will be best for the weapon.

The UMP-45 is not a weapon designed for close combat so, none of the accessories are required. The laser sight may prove useful sometimes, but it gives away your position.

The composition of attachments, best for the accuracy of fire, is the Heavy Barrel and the stubby grip. They, predominantly, decrease the spread, which makes the weapon more accurate.

Upsides

In comparison with all the weapons in the game, UMP definitely does not hold one of the head positions. However, this is the best machine pistol for medium distances. It is very important because the mechanic needs such a weapon in many situations, e.g. after he leaves the attack helicopter.

Downsides

The greatest disadvantage of the UMP-45 is its low rate of fire. In spite of high damage dealt, it is going to cost you lots of time to kill an opponent at each distance. The UMP also has a small clip, due which you always should have a revolver on you.
