At a Glance
The FAMAS 2010 is the burst-fire bullpup of The Division 2 — a French-pattern AR that fires three-round bursts at a deceptively fast 750 RPM cadence. With 55,000 base damage per shot, a 30-round magazine, a 2.0-second reload, and the standard 1.55x headshot multiplier, the FAMAS does not look extraordinary on paper. In practice, the burst behavior changes everything. Every trigger pull lands three rounds in roughly a quarter of a second, and the FAMAS's tight burst recoil means all three rounds usually hit close to where you aimed.
This is a rifle for players who want the controlled-fire feel of a marksman gun with the magazine size and uptime of an AR. The burst mechanic takes some adjustment, but once the rhythm clicks, the FAMAS is one of the most precise rifles in the game.
Stats
| Stat | Value | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Base damage | 55,000 | Per shot, baseline (per round in burst) |
| Rate of fire | 750 RPM | Within burst; effective RPM lower |
| Magazine | 30 rounds | 32 with Extended Mag (10 bursts) |
| Reload time | 2.0 s | Among the fastest in the AR class |
| Headshot multiplier | x1.55 | Standard AR weakpoint |
| Optimal range | 30 m | Falloff begins ~40 m |
| Theoretical DPS | 687,500 | Within burst; effective lower |
| Headshot DPS | 1,065,625 | All headshots within burst |
The headline stat is hidden in how the burst works. The 750 RPM applies to rounds within a single burst, but there is a small delay between bursts that brings the effective sustained DPS down to roughly two-thirds of the theoretical figure. The trade-off is that all three rounds in a burst land in a tight pattern, so headshot tagging is much more reliable than on a comparable full-auto AR.
Mod Slots
- Optic — 4x scope; the FAMAS is happy at mid range
- Underbarrel — Vertical Grip is best in class for burst-recoil control
- Magazine — Extended Mag (more bursts per reload)
- Muzzle — Compensator (vertical) to keep all three rounds on target
Talent
The FAMAS 2010's named-roll talent is Measured, a unique talent that splits the magazine in half: the top half fires faster and the bottom half hits harder, or vice versa depending on the variant. Measured rewards players who manage their magazine carefully and switch between halves intentionally. On a burst rifle, the talent's value is amplified because each burst is treated as a discrete event rather than a sustained spray.
Measured is a polarizing talent. Players who like the management mini-game rate it among the best in the AR class; players who want a fire-and-forget rifle find it fiddly. The interaction with the burst mechanic means you naturally feel the talent's transition between halves, which makes it more intuitive on the FAMAS than on a full-auto chassis.
For builds that don't want to manage Measured, the FAMAS chassis also rolls Spotter, Optimist, and Sadist as alternative talents. The burst behavior pairs particularly well with Spotter, since each burst lands cleanly on a marked target and the bonus applies to all three rounds.
Top Builds
Measured FAMAS (technical PvE)
Sokolov chest with Vigilance, Walker holster, four red cores, named FAMAS 2010 with Measured. Use the top half of the magazine for handling-priority bursts at range, drop into the bottom half for damage-priority bursts on yellow bars. Reward-per-effort is among the highest in the AR class.
Spotter Burst FAMAS (PvP and pulse PvE)
FAMAS with the Spotter roll, paired with a Pulse skill or a teammate's marker. Each burst against a marked target lands the talent bonus on three rounds simultaneously, producing one of the highest single-trigger-pull damage outputs in the game.
Hunter's Fury FAMAS
Four-piece Hunter's Fury, FAMAS in primary, SMG secondary. The burst mechanic is excellent for the Fury close-to-mid range engagement style, and the rifle's mid-RPM keeps you accurate while the set bonus does the heavy lifting.
PvE vs PvP
In PvE, the FAMAS 2010 is a strong precision pick. The burst behavior produces clean headshot landings against the AI's predictable movement patterns, and the high per-burst damage clears yellow bars quickly when all three rounds connect. The rifle is less efficient than full-auto ARs against red bars and trash mobs, but for marked-target priority play, the FAMAS is excellent.
In PvP, the FAMAS is a sleeper pick. The burst TTK on a head-tag is among the fastest in the AR class — three rounds at 55k damage with 1.55x headshot lands somewhere around 256k per burst, which deletes most builds in two bursts. The downside is that missed bursts are punishing, and the burst delay means you cannot panic-spray. PvP duelists who can land their bursts rate the FAMAS very highly.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Burst mechanic produces excellent headshot landings
- 55k base damage per round in burst — strong per-trigger output
- 2.0 s reload is class-leading
- Measured is rewarding for players who like talent management
- Spotter and Sadist alternative rolls scale beautifully
Cons
- Burst delay reduces effective sustained DPS
- Burst mechanic is less efficient against trash mobs
- Measured punishes inattentive players
- Iron sights are functional but optic-preferred
- Less forgiving than full-auto ARs for new players
FAQ
Is the FAMAS 2010 still strong in TU22.1? Yes, particularly for marked-target PvE and headshot-focused PvP. The burst behavior was untouched in the last balance pass, and Measured remains one of the most rewarding management talents in the game.
FAMAS or the AUG (the AR, not the SMG)? Both rifles have similar damage profiles and burst-adjacent characters. The FAMAS edges out for raw burst damage; the AUG variants are stronger in sustained fire. Personal preference territory.
Does Measured stack with set bonuses? Yes — Measured's bonuses are multiplicative with set bonuses, Memento, and most named-piece talents. The bottom-half damage bonus produces the highest landed-shot numbers in the rifle's repertoire.
How do I learn the burst rhythm? Spend an hour in the Camp Clinton firing range. The burst delay is consistent, and once your trigger finger learns the cadence, you stop noticing it.
Closing
The FAMAS 2010 is the AR for players who want a rifle that thinks before it shoots. The burst mechanic is not for everyone, and the fact that effective DPS sits below theoretical means casual players will find more value in a full-auto chassis. But for agents who appreciate precision rifles and the satisfaction of three-round bursts landing exactly where they aimed, the FAMAS earns a permanent slot in the loadout. Roll one with Measured or Spotter, pair it with a clean optic, and treat every burst like it counts — because on this rifle, it does.
