Optic: Microflex LED (Optional)

  • Benefit: Provides a clear, unobstructed sight picture for precise aiming, improving your accuracy in both close- and mid-range engagements. The compact design allows you to stay mobile without sacrificing vision.

Muzzle: Ported Compensator

  • Benefit: Reduces recoil, making it easier to maintain accuracy during sustained fire. The Ported Compensator is great for controlling both vertical and horizontal recoil, especially in close-quarters combat.

Barrel: Long Barrel

  • Benefit: Increases damage range and bullet velocity, helping the Jackal PDW perform better at medium-range engagements. It also maintains its effectiveness at close range, making it a versatile option for various combat scenarios.

Underbarrel: Ranged Foregrip

  • Benefit: It reduces vertical recoil, allowing for greater accuracy at mid-range distances. It also helps maintain control when firing at longer ranges, which is ideal for players who want a more stable shooting experience.

Magazine: Fast Mag II (Optional)

  • Benefit: Decreases reload time, enabling you to get back into the fight faster. The increased reload speed is essential for aggressive players who need to stay in action without being caught in a vulnerable state during reloading.

Rear Grip: Ergonomic Grip

  • Benefit: Improves recoil control and enhances aiming stability. This rear grip is especially helpful for keeping your shots on target during sustained fire and making the weapon feel more comfortable in your hands.

Stock: Balanced Stock

  • Benefit: Increases mobility and stability when moving and aiming. This stock allows you to maintain a balance between sprint-to-fire speed and aiming stability, making it ideal for aggressive playstyles where you need to stay quick and precise.

Laser: N/A (Optional)

  • Benefit: This configuration does not include a laser attachment, keeping things simple for a more balanced playstyle focused on recoil control, mobility, and accuracy.

Fire Mod: Recoil Springs (Optional)

  • Benefit: Further reduces recoil, making the Jackal PDW even more stable during sustained fire. This modification complements other attachments like the Ported Compensator and Ergonomic Grip, ensuring your shots remain on target even in intense combat situations.

These attachments allow you to fully capitalize on the Jackal’s strengths, enhancing both its damage output and handling. This ensures you remain effective in close- to mid-range combat while maintaining mobility and stealth. Additionally, the other attachments help mitigate some of its drawbacks, improving recoil control, ADS time, and overall accuracy, giving you a distinct edge in gunfights.
