Kaid's choice in weapons is more diverse than Nomad's. The AUG A3 & the TCSG12 are completely different; which further supports the idea of Kaid being able to do basically whatever he wants. However, you'll see soon how only one of those guns is really Kaid's trick up the sleeve.
AUG A3
People (& by people I mean Siege Youtubers) have been talking a lot of smack on the AUG A3. Calling it literally the weakest SMG in the game. I disagree. I don't think its the best, but its very far from being bad. Kaid's AUG feels extremely similar, and I mean it, to Vigil's K1A. In recoil, damage, fire rate. They are almost the same gun in terms of stats. The difference of course is that Vigil is a 3 speed and Kaid is a 3 armor.
Sure, it doesn't have a fast fire-rate, but with its low recoil you can consistenly hit headshots at extreme distances and actually keep your cursor on the enemy without letting go off the trigger. It lets you mag-dump accurately, which is not a common feature for a gun.
I've found that either Muzzle Brake or Flash Hider work well enough on it to keep it 100% controllable at whatever range, Compensator less so; but honestly it is controllable enough for you to use whatever you want on it; even an Angled Grip if you feel like it. Treat it like the K1A honestly; you can straight up copy your K1A attachments on it and it'll work just fine. If you want to go all in on recoil reduction go for the Vertical Grip.
A rather important detail to mention regarding the AUG A3 on Kaid is that it doesn't have the option for an ACOG sight. Now, this is kind of a big deal since you're a 3 armor, however at the same time it isn't because you're always carrying the .44 Mag Semi-Auto. So don't discard it outright for not having an ACOG.
