- The gun's kickback is way too high for an assault rifle. It obscures the visibility a bit even with optics. It just jumps every time. Foregrip doesn't even help that much.

- A slow fire (cycle) rate with a huge kickback, this feels like a nerfed Tactical Rifle than an LMG-Assault Rifle hybrid. And it's labeled to fire as fast as the AN-94 and ICR. Faster than the Grav (Galil), KN-57 and Rampart...

- Accuracy is weird. Even if you aim center, the bullet lands either a bit to the left or right. Likely because it's a horizontal double barrel but it's just so bad.

- Damage is the same as AN-94 as indicated, but doesn't feel like it.

Overall you're better off using the KN-57 or the ICR than the Echohawk.

What's worse is that it applies the same in Zombies. The gun sounds so heavy when fired but it's way worse than the Maddox.

We're addressing the Echohawk's recoil pattern, burst fire speed, and maximum damage in our next update on Nov. 5th, as well as increasing the max damage on the AN-94. Watch for patch notes next week!
