The best HK416 Build: 2 Variants for everyone

Before we start, I should perhaps mention that you should have reached Level 3 at the dealer Peacekeeper as well as Mechanic and Skier on level 2. Not only do you need the build described above, but also to get good ammunition for the weapon. Before we can start, of course, you will need the weapon itself. This costs around 60,000 rubles on the Flea Market. In the standard version, the HK 416 has the following values:

Weight: 2,58 Kg
Max. Distance: 500 m
Recoil: 94
Ergo: 75
