Season 11 has the feel of a patch made for players who actually enjoy testing odd loadouts between raids. There's plenty to unpack, from the Thompson's close-range pressure to the M700's strange new firing option. If you're sorting weapons before the update lands, keeping a few Delta Force Items aside for ammo and attachments makes sense. The new guns aren't simple plug-and-play picks. A good setup will matter more than usual.
M700 Builds Need a Steady Hand
The M700 is the one everyone will probably talk about first. Its Half Cyclone Barrel System keeps the big headshot potential: 152.5 damage, a 2.5x multiplier, roughly 231 metres of reach, and 1,000 m/s velocity. That's proper sniper territory. The catch is obvious once you hit arms or legs. Limb damage sits near 18, so rushed shots can feel awful. You'll want clean upper-body angles, not panic firing through every doorway.
Fit the Cyclone Enhanced Guide Tube and the rifle changes character completely. It can fire automatically, which sounds wild for an M700, but the recoil tax is real. Handling drops, recoil control gets worse, and sustained bursts can wander fast. Still, swapping between semi-auto and automatic fire gives it a useful rhythm. Tap at range. Push short bursts indoors. With the integrated suppressor helping sustained fire, it may approach 500 RPM.
Three Quick Loadout Priorities
1. Practise M700 bursts before risking premium ammunition.
2. Build the Thompson around hipfire spread and movement.
3. Carry extra MDR magazines for longer indoor fights.
Let's be real here: the flashy builds look brilliant until recoil, reload timing, and expensive ammunition catch up with you.
Numbers Worth Remembering
These figures give a rough idea of where each weapon may fit. They don't tell the whole story, though. Feel, sight picture, and your usual map routes still count for a lot.
| Weapon | Damage | Armour Penetration | Fire Rate | | M700 Half Cyclone | 152.5 headshot | 58 | Automatic option | | Thompson | 34 | 36 | 880 RPM | | MDR | 41 | 43 | 650 RPM | The Thompson looks far less complicated. It brings 34 damage, 36 armour penetration, and 880 RPM, then asks you to get close. With the right muzzle and hipfire parts, spread can drop to around 0.68. That's the attraction. You can keep moving, clear tight rooms, and avoid spending every second looking through sights. It won't replace a rifle outside, but in corridors it could be nasty.
The Ammo Question Players Keep Asking
Someone recently asked me whether mixed magazines are worth the effort, especially when the QJB drum already takes time to reach its faster firing pace.
They can be. Put armour-focused rounds first, then use flesh-damage rounds once protection is likely broken.
Make Each Raid Serve a Purpose
The QJB is another weapon that rewards patience. Its drum starts slower, then climbs while you keep the trigger down, possibly reaching about 1,214 RPM. Don't judge it from the first second alone. Season 11 also brings useful ammo choices:.45 ACP gold rounds return with stronger penetration, while 4.6x30mm rip rounds favour limb damage. There are also 4.6x30mm options built around headshots, plus purple Dart shells for shotguns. Start with cheap test raids, learn what each round does, then spend on Delta Force Items for sale when you know which loadout genuinely suits your pace.
