AR-15 or SOPMOD

I have an echelon squad with ;
M16A1 : L 71
M4A1 : L 77
AR-15 : L 75
UMP45 : L 76
UMP9 : L 64

should i replace ar-15 with lv 23 SOPMOD? i realize my team doesn't have a grenade skills to clear the heavy amount of enemies, which i thought is needed for higher map level like Chapter 0. I have 416 but i'm running out of cores (i still didn't beat chapter 6 yet)

Thanks anyway (◠‿◠✿)

For general use by the time 8 seconds have passed the majority of enemies will be dead already which limits the usefulness of grenadiers. AR-15 will be ahead of SOPMOD on damage in most circumstances.

The exception is corpse dragging. If you're running 0-2 over and over having a grenadier as your damage carry means you can get away with running only one carry which means you can fit more tourists on that bus.

Honestly if you want to replace anyone in that squad with SOPMOD though it's going to be M16. You already have two tanks with the UMP sisters, you don't really need a third.

Thanks for the advice. so M16 is able to tank despite being an AR? does that mean her damage is below average compared to other 3 AR?

and if by any chance, does my team still having a good DPS if i keep M16?

M16 is unique in her equipment slot setup. She has Ammo/T-Doll/T-Doll equipment slots at 20/50/80 and she can equip Armour Plates that are normally restricted to shotguns in her T-Doll slots. This has the effect of cutting her upper damage output since she can't equip crit scopes at all but it also makes her an extremely good tank for lower damage enemies since she can both cut their damage to 1 and actually evade things unlike a shotgun.

Secondly her active skill does nothing to help her damage output since its CC based (again boosting her tanking ability).

Overall if you're determined to keep M16 in the group swap UMP9 out with her since they have the same active skill and you don't really need two Flashbangs in one group. Just give her an armour plate and stick her in the front line next to UMP45 and laugh as she takes 1's for damage.

you know what? i just swap UMP9 with SOPMOD. just noticed she's not really a good tank compared to her sister. and having a three tank means i'll be sacrificing the damage output, (I did have 3 SMG 2 AR squad first time playing it blind till i read this article)

Wait, she can equip exoskeleton? that's sick

Anyway, thanks for the advice and have a good day (◠‿◠✿)
