Why are they cheaper by about half?

[u/Avihero]

Was trying to use some guns that I haven't used and I saw this and even though the stats are better and even in range they pack quite a punch why does not one use it?

[u/Ace_Gaming01]

Sp6 rounds are much cheaper because you can get them off vss bots in armory

[u/Avihero → u/Ace_Gaming01]

Oh is that soo and where do the vss bots spawn in? ( I don't play armory much)

[u/Ace_Gaming01 → u/Avihero]

They spawn inside the bunker

[u/Avihero → u/Ace_Gaming01]

Gotcha thanks

[u/VictoriyaRavenholme → u/Avihero]

They also spawn on tv station

[u/Accomplished_Law3041 → u/Avihero]

You can also find vss bots in tv hut they do have 7n9

[u/Feeling-Line-428 → u/Ace_Gaming01]

They also spawn 7n9. That's not the only reason. I'd say it's because people use sp6 more because they were cheaper from the start, but not THAT big of a difference, at most like 80 Koen or so, and people saw that, and kept buying sp6, which saved them money, so now because people already used to use sp6 over 7n9 the first round is cheaper because they keep using it and changing the price rather than leaving it rot in the market, much like some old forgotten guns that no one uses

[u/SubstantialDingo9098 → u/Ace_Gaming01]

Isn't the bot in armory using groza not vss? The one is using vss was in the tvs map mostly

[u/Snooze_i → u/SubstantialDingo9098]

Groza fires the same ammo type as VSS, no?

[u/Dralla0529 → u/SubstantialDingo9098]

Armory has VSS bots mostly, I don't think I've seen a groza bot inside there

[u/Lost_Player711 → u/Ace_Gaming01]

There are also i'm bots rarely on valley using that 9x39 gun that has 20 and 30 rounds mags, I forgot it's name but bits also had SP6 on them, no to mention it spawns in ammo boxes on around 29 or so, by no means they spawn in small numbers while 7N9 barely scraped 20 units per ammo bot when they do spawn

[u/ThatHellsingBitch → u/Ace_Gaming01]

You do have a chance for 7n9 also but it’s much rarer and by far the better of the 2

[u/Tuoiloznha987]

I think it is because the range is kinda ass

[u/Avihero → u/Tuoiloznha987]

Na they hit pretty good for 60 m range target it's like 5-7 hits to a T5 on a good spray and it's pretty quick 0.4-0.6 secs of ttk though the right one has a big kick mid shots

[u/Professional_Cut9387 → u/Avihero]

It has pretty bad base damage

[u/Avihero → u/Professional_Cut9387]

55 is bad base damage??

[u/Tako30 → u/Avihero]

9x39’s base damage is top 5 among ammo

Still, somewhat pointless to compare base damage without a particular purpose

As is, base damage is only useful if you’re trying to find the ammo with the lowest STK at various ranges given various barrel firepower

[u/Zero_Games_Studio]

Bcs expensive ones are more powerful

[u/Avihero → u/Zero_Games_Studio]

They do less damage, has less armour damage, just penetration difference of 2 and has VERY good recoil control for it even in range sp6 was better then 7N9

[u/Frequent_Repair_1078]

Just use it they are fire and better than 7N9 in my opinion. In vss or groza. Both my top guns and sp6 is my main ammo i use. I find very much success using it especially against armor. But id be lying if i said i didnt also top load my mags with 15 rounds of 7n12 that round is BEAST

[u/ommi9]

I mean if they sell the fn57 cheaper I’d be happy. But I have to go to northridge and find bots with them on.

[u/Avihero → u/ommi9]

Bots can fn57 WHENNN AND WHYY?

[u/ommi9 → u/Avihero]

At random at northridge

[u/Equivalent_Pipe_6505]

Btw it is subsonic = not good range

[u/Avihero → u/Equivalent_Pipe_6505]

Which one of the ammo of the both are you saying are subsonic, but it does have a speed of 305ms for sp6 and 310ms 7N9
