(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); Decided would be smart idea to start off with the Sheiva on my quest for dark matter because self inflicted pain is fun.
Now have the Sheiva gold after playing solo in objective gamemodes for even more self inflicted pain.

Wanted to like this gun but just painful to use. Moments of good aim things die quickly....very quickly was able to get couple triple kills using this gun. Loved this gun at times other times hated the whole thing.

Sheiva summed up in sentence.

High risk high reward rewarded for good aim but punishment for bad aim and with flinch.

From design point of view get what Treyarch wanted to do with this gun. Sounds perfect on paper fixes core issue behind FAL/SMR in black ops 2. Both guns expanded on other weapons niche roles bit to much. Back to the drawing board rebalance the idea behind semi auto weapon given how dominate FAL/SMR could be rather reasonable. Result Sheiva has much slower rate of fire suits fighting over distance more with punishment for taking people over close range. Bunch of handling traits which make the weapon rubbish at closer ranges.

Just to compare...
Sheiva 257 rpm
FAL 515 rpm
SMR 450 rpm

Iron sights are worse compared to both guns from BO2..

Bright side damage is higher on the Sheiva pretty much always 2 hit kill compared to the FAL/SMR could be 2-3.
Throw in movement system with slow rate of fire can dodge the Sheiva. Slower aim down sight time plus poor hip fire spread plus poor other traits at close range.

Flinch is biggest punishment for missed shots...certain death.
Flinch does screw you over time to time when comes to headshots sometimes you flinch people into lucky headshot on you.
Don't understand the gameplay mechanic and makes no sense just hurts weapons like the Sheiva.

In order to do good with the Sheiva position + aim is king. Get into good spot aim down line of sight and hit people over range. Sheiva is nasty if you hit people from lines of sight they don't expect. Punishment for the other team or punishment for you. Unlikely to see me using it often apart from couple maps and camping like bitch. Pistols are useful given how rubbish the weapon is at close range.

Useful stuff...
Optics
Pistols
High caliber

Subjective stuff...which could be useful.
Quickdraw
Stock

ude be better witha youtube video mate i havent really go time put if u download titan 1 software
called console tuner u should find it easy from there

I have it

Shieva is the beast on hardcore

Rapid fire only 6% increase in rate of fire which is not very much and not worth it.

Unless you tuned it to near the rate of fire hate to see what it like
