Learn how to use the FMG9 and Scorpion in Battlefield Hardline, including their stats, performance, and unlock requirements. Part 27 of our comprehensive guide.
Repair Tool & Sabotage Gadget:
- The repair tool can be used from inside transport helicopters or by hanging out the window of a vehicle. Aim until you find the "sweet spot" for repairs.
- Sabotage costs $30,000 and can be planted on vehicles, Battle Pickup weapons, ammo/health/defib pickups, vaults, and other interactive objects.
- To use Sabotage on vehicles, aim until the dynamite icon appears, then hold the trigger until armed. This will cause the vehicle to explode if an enemy attempts to drive it.
- Using Sabotage on objective vehicles in Hotwire mode is recommended for higher chances of enemy use. Staying on the enemy's side of the map increases this likelihood.
- Anti-Vehicle Coins can also be earned using the Mechanic's M320/M79 grenade launcher, frag and incendiary grenades, small arms fire (on unarmoured vehicles), RPG/SMAW/Stinger pickups, and vehicle guns.
- Repairing your vehicle while playing Hotwire as Mechanic can earn extra points.
FMG9 Weapon Details:
- Performance: Similar to the P90 but with a faster rate of fire (950 RPM) and a longer drop-off, maintaining a four-hit kill out to 25 meters for excellent DPS.
- Drawbacks: Smaller magazine capacity and slow reload times.
- Post-Patch Changes (September 2015 Robbery update): Significantly less accurate with doubled ADS and hipfire spread, increased maximum ADS spread, and higher crouch/prone spread per shot (SIPS). Horizontal right recoil when standing was raised by 25%.
- Buffs: Reductions to maximum hipfire spread and horizontal right recoil when prone.
- Default Attachments: Micro T1 sight and a green laser.
- Trivia: Developed by Magpul, it's built around a full-auto Glock G18 machine-pistol and borrows from earlier designs to create a foldable automatic weapon. The airsoft replica is known as the FPG (Folding Pocket-Gun). It previously appeared in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 and the movie Ghost Rider: Spirit of Vengeance.
Scorpion Weapon Details:
- Stats: Ammo: 9x19mm, Capacity: 30+1, Fire-rate: 1,150 RPM, Reload: 2.20 secs.
- Unlock: $36,000 for both factions. Added with the Robbery DLC but not required to access.
- Performance: Increased fire-rate from BF4's CZ3A1 (1,000 RPM) to 1,150 RPM.
- Damage Profile: Reduced damage similar to G18C and 93R machine-pistols, with a max damage of 24 (five-hit kill) out to 13 meters, dropping to a nine-hit kill at 24 meters.
- Recoil: High vertical recoil, but manageable by steering against it.
- Default Attachments: Comes without any attachments.
