Which one should I take?

[ShazMo09 7]

Ok so I have come across a M4A1 CCO SD, M240 and a M16A4 ACOG as I write this...Im pretty well geared already rollin with a DMR but I always like a spare primary in my backpack for different situations...If you had a DMR what would you choose out of those 3 as a secondary???

An assault rifle, most likely.And more specifically, probably the M4, especially if you fight at close ranges most of the time.

It depends, do you have a lot of SD mags? That M4A1 CCO SD will only take STANAG SD mags so if you don't have a few of them it will be useless to you while the M16A4 ACOG will take both the SD and regular STANAG mags. The only thing is, if you use the SD mags in the M16A4 ACOG other players will be able to hear them but they will be silent to the zombies.

M240 will kill players fastest

Only problem with M240 is how loud it is, it attract alot of zombies and each ammo box take 2 slots. Atleast that's what I've noticed when I shot one Zombie and was surrounded by a few of his fellas. M4A3 CCO is also a very nice rifle, two shots into a Zombie and if you are into killing other players, use full automatic and that player is going down pretty quick. And also that rifle sound is lovely to listen too.

M249 is also a nice weapon, high rate of fire, but loud but promised to cut a player or zombie in half(figurally speaking). Ammo belt also take 2 slots but you have 200 rounds in it, so technically it's better.

I've been in this situation similarly. I actually wanted an M16A4 ACOG for a long while, as a replacement. Got sick of having shortage of backpack space carrying that secondary so dumped the DMR. Never looked back, it works great at decent mid-long ranges and I can quite happily equip it in towns, or for CQC at a pinch.

But if you want both I'd suggest the CCO SD as a decent opposite to the DMR, players will hear it just fine but it will knock em out quick and kill em' soon after, the advantages against Z's are obvious. Just make sure you stock up on that STANAG SD whenever you can.

M4A1 CCO SD running STANAG SD mags will allow you deal with both living and undead problems very quietly if you play as a loner.

Get a camp?

I tend to carry the weapons needed for the job, so I would strongly recommend a camp and a quad to be mobile while having a camp to get what you need.
