PDSW 528 weapon build

The PDSW 528 is a member of the Tactique Defense weapons platform that can shred enemy operators at close range. It features a massive magazine with 50 bullets and a fire-rate of 909 Rounds Per Minute (RPM). It is also quite handy to run around with as it is agile, and players can clock up to 7.62 m/s speed in tactical sprints.

WhosImmortal suggests that players utilize his build to make the most out of PDSW 528. Here is the complete build alongside the pros and cons of every attachment.

Recommended build:

• Muzzle: Lockshot KT85
• Laser: VLK LZR 7mW
• Optic: Cronen Mini Pro
• Rear Grip: Bruen Q900 Grip
• Comb: TV Tac Comb

Recommended tuning:

• Lockshot KT85: 0.52 vertical, 0.26 horizontal
• VLK LZR 7mW: -0.27 vertical, -26.32 horizontal
• Cronen Mini Pro: -1.55 vertical, -2.25 horizontal
• Bruen Q900 Grip: -0.68 vertical, -0.29 horizontal
• TV Tac Comb: -0.21 vertical, -0.14 horizontal

The Lockshot KT85 increases vertical and horizontal recoil control. However, it takes a small toll on the overall Aim Down Sight (ADS) speed and aiming stability.

The VLK LZR 7mW boosts ADS speed, sprint-to-fire speed, and aiming stability. The only downside of the laser is that it becomes visible when used in ADS mode.

The Cronen Mini Pro is a great optic attachment but can be swapped out for ammunition attachments, depending on the player's preference. The Bruen Q900 rear grip further increases ADS and sprint-to-fire speeds but reduces recoil control.

The TV Tac comb attachment increases ADS speed and sprint-to-fire speed. This attachment slightly affects the weapon's aiming stability and aim walking speed.
