📌 Dravec 45: At a Glance
The Dravec 45 unlocks at Sergeant I (Level 10) in the beta. It’s a full-auto submachine gun with a surprising level of stability and range for its class, making it one of the more versatile SMGs in the current meta.
In many early analyses, the Dravec 45 is praised for having low recoil and strong performance even in mid-range fights, setting it apart from more “glass-cannon” SMGs that rely purely on close-quarters power. Some trade-offs: its raw damage in tight CQB might lag behind shotgun or extremely high-rate SMGs, but with the right attachments, it becomes a very consistent killer.
Because the Dravec is relatively “forgiving” with recoil and handling, it’s a good choice for players still learning the maps or movement, while also being strong enough for high-skill play.
🛠️ Best Dravec 45 Loadout & Class Setup
Here’s a recommended build to maximize the Dravec 45’s strengths (stability, range, handling) while minimizing its weaker points. Tweak based on your unlocks and playstyle.
🔫 Weapon Attachments
Slot | Recommended Attachment | Role / Benefit |
---|---|---|
Muzzle | Hawker Hybrid 45 | Helps reduce recoil, especially first-shot kick. |
Barrel | 14″ Verse Barrel | Increases effective range and bullet velocity. |
Magazine / Ammo Mod | Frontgate Fast Loader | Improves reload speed (and sometimes mag size) to keep you in the fight. |
Rear Grip / Handling | Herald-Z1 Grip | Improves ADS speed / handling to make the weapon feel more responsive. |
Stock / Mobility | Serval Q-Step Stock | Helps mobility and strafing while aiming (less penalty) to stay agile. |
Alternative / Optional Mods | Accelerated Recoil System (Fire Mod) | Further tames recoil for more consistent hits, especially at ranges. |
One meta-variant also includes using a 19″ Horizon Fluted Barrel to push the damage range further when maps have longer lanes.
🎯 Perks, Equipment & Field / Wildcard Picks
To support the aggressive, mobile playstyle the Dravec encourages, here's a class build suggestion:
-
Perk 1: Lightweight — to boost movement, sliding, diving, etc.
-
Perk 2: Fast Hands — for faster reloads and weapon swaps.
-
Perk 3: Dexterity — helps in fluid motion, aiming during slides, etc.
-
Additional Perk: Ghost (with Perk Greed wildcard) — to stay off UAV/equipment while moving.
-
Lethal: Semtex — good balance of damage and stick utility.
-
Tactical: Stim Shot — lets you recover quickly & re-engage.
-
Field Upgrade: Drone Pod or Echo Unit — both are decent; Echo helps in deception and map control.
You can also consider swapping in Scavenger for ammo sustain if your playstyle racks up streaks & fights a lot, or Vigilance for detecting UAV or sudden threats, depending on your comfort.
🧭 Playstyle Tips & Tactics
-
Mid-range is your sweet spot: Thanks to the barrel, muzzle, and recoil control, the Dravec can challenge ARs in mid to close-mid fights. Don’t feel forced to only fight in cramped corridors.
-
Keep movement unpredictable: Use slides, dives, jumps, strafing to make yourself harder to hit.
-
Aim for head/upper torso: With recoil under control, you can reliably land high-damage shots.
-
Don’t overcommit long-range: Even with range buffs, SMGs will struggle in extended open lanes. Use cover or reposition.
-
Reload smartly: Take advantage of Fast Loader or magazine mods — avoid reloading in open when possible.
-
Flank and pressure lanes: Use the speed and mobility to get behind enemies or pressure side angles.
✅ Why Dravec 45 Stands Out
-
Stability + ease of use: Among SMGs in the beta, Dravec’s recoil is more forgiving, making it a strong choice even for less precise aim.
-
Range versatility: With proper attachments, it crosses the boundary between SMG and AR in many engagements, allowing you to contest more fights.
-
High pick rate / meta presence: It’s already one of the most used SMGs in the beta meta.
-
Strong upgrade ceiling: As you unlock better attachments and mods later in the full game, Dravec has room to grow rather than hitting early limitations.
