So I should trade out Grip for High Caliber is what you're telling me

pretty much always. if recoil is enough of an issue that you need to be putting grip on the gun you probably shouldn't be firing for heads in the first place

Also, yes you should swap grip for high caliber. It's probably the worst attachment since it has such a small effect.

I don't understand how people like high caliber so much. I shoot people in the dick.

You can see over cover clearer than your character model and hitbox are actually exposed. It's not 1:1.

the way COD works is that your pov comes from your player's head. unfortunately this is also where your "gun" is located. you can poke your head out from behind cover and shoot at enemies while almost completely protected from incoming fire. treyarch seems to not only acknowledge this "play style" but actively promotes it with cover all over their maps that allow the players to peek their head out. examples would be the crates on the transformer side of combine, almost every piece of cover in the middle of fringe, etc.

Use of "head glitch" is inversely correlated with "gunskill"

Rapid fire is approximately a 6% ROF boost. It is one of the few ways to increase ttk, but the increase is so small that I don't think it's worth it.

On any AR it would be much better to use high caliber and long barrel (non-94 division).

The gently caress do you mean by non-94 division? Just guns that aren't in a certain subset or something?

Long Barrel doesn't straight up double the damage falloff ranges with the KN-44. It only adds like, 13% or something.

When it comes to the KN-44 just put High Caliber and a Silencer on and you're good to go. Don't mess with long barrel or rapid fire or grip. Maybe quick draw with fast hands I guess?

To be fair, it is only useful against bullets. It confers no benefit against explosives, tacticals, or Specialist weapons.

Probably its best use is assaulting points under smoke cover with a Flak Jacket and shotgun.

It was nerfed hard from the beta when it was over powered. Now it's a poo poo tier skill and you should never use it.

The Overkill/VMP bug where you don't appear on radar when firing your primary still exists (or at least in private match on Xbone), so abuse it til it is gone.

tempest is better but difficult to adjust to because of the lag time on firing but if you can hit someone in a group you can get a good chain going. glitch can be really good situationally but those situations don't come up often enough
