Kilo is trash, m13 supremacy.

I've been meta whoring lately and running mac10 on basically all loadouts since it beats everything (you can even beat melee which no other gun can do). Been paring it with snipers (tundra/HDR/kar), but my daytime packetloss takes issue with that so I'll probably switch to mac10/m13 again.

Speaking from the perspective of Domination in MW, the Grau is pretty outclassed?

I kept playing matches where I started with the Grau and was getting beat on TTK pretty constantly. Then I switched to the Fennec and was getting long shot kills constantly while melting in TTK races. The Grau, in my dumb rear end old hands, also seemed pretty bad at hip fire. But that could just be me.

For Domination, which AR wins - X13 or the M4A1? Those are the two I've spent the most time with and cannot figure which one is better.

I’m about that FFAR life now baby.

Did they buff the FFAR recently or something? It was really good at Cold War's launch but then got nerfed pretty quick, and it's been fairly terrible every time I've used it (admittedly only as a last resort after dropping into the map). The most solid Cold War AR is the Krig in my book. As far as the MW ARs go, I have recently rediscovered the joys of the CR-56 AMAX, and the FR 5.56 is always solid.

Guns have completely different damage/range profiles in warzone and cold war.

Whichever AR requires me to "club five people to death with an AR fifteen times" might as well not exist. No way in hell I'm going to spend all my time trying to club people with a two hit melee when TTK on guns is a fraction of a second.

Avoid extended mags like the plague. Just kit it out for mobility and range. Amped is an essential perk and makes it so switching only takes about a second. Snatch grip, VLK, Long barrel, mono suppresser, then probably tac laser, stippled, or fast reload. I think the last attachment is players choice. That'll make it only marginally less mobile than an AR unless you have to reload. Just carry a good SMG as a secondary for tight spaces and any running you have to do. base mag is 100 rounds which is still almost twice as many shots as most people have. It's enough to wipe a squad and have bullets to spare in the right circumstances. The loss of mobility with extended mags is just not worth it at all imo.

Bloody does the 200 round, super slow, no amped PKM thing and it stresses me out just watching him play lol. It's takes like 6 seconds for him to switch to the gun and ADS.

If not the Grau, what’s the best mid/long range AR currently?

Short-to-Mid: AMAX w/ Mono, Zodiac, TacLzr, Ranger Grip, 45rd (teams) or Stippled Tape (solos).
Mid-to-Long: PKM w/ Tac Suppr, TacLzr, VLK/Scout, Snatch Grip, Stippled Tape.

Forced to choose, I'd take the AMAX, but PKM has always been a winner.

PKM isn't an AR though... If you're adding in LMGs, just go bruen, so much better than the PKM.

Are we talking warzone? AMAX is probably what I see the most, I'm partial to the M13, grau is still decently popular/not bad.

FFAR is a great close-mid AR but so is the AMAX.

Honestly haven't been running ARs much lately, mostly HDR/KAR/AWP + Mac10

"nerfed to hell" PKM and bruen are essentially the same gun (slightly different ADS times and reload times, I think the damage profiles are the same but I can't find any trustworthy stats right now. The 60rnd conversion is still just fine, the recoil nerf was not that bad.

Guy in our group regularly runs the bruen 60rnd and drops around 10 or more kills a game, has an overall K/D of 1.88, which is probably brought down by being bad starting; his last 10 games he has 7 with 8+ kills.

Have you bothered to use the Bruen since the nerf? Probably not, I probably should just ignore you going forward.

veni veni veni
Jun 5, 2005


I have. Quite a bit actually. I do not think the Bruen is bad at all even after the nerf, but it clearly not as good as the PKM especially at range.

And yes "nerfed to hell" is accurate because it was easily the best gun in WZ and now it's just a perfectly fine gun. They literally nerfed like 5 attributes on it on multiple occasions. It was downgraded in more depts. than any other gun in WZ afaik.

Having used both BRUEN / PKM. I think it comes down to personal preference. Honestly the gun you use really depends on who you play with and their style. If your squad is more aggressive, AMAX / MAC10 is probably the way to go since it lets you keep up with aggressive movement and pushing.

If they're more laidback and prefer long range fights, take an SPR or HDR instead?

The Bruen was nerfed, but then the the kilo was also nerfed, then a bunch of guns (including the Bruen) were buffed again. When they nerfed the Bruen it still had 3 damage tiers, but now it only has 2. It's minimum damage is 28 @ 750 rpm which makes it extremely good at range again. It's not great at close but with guns like the Bullfrog and Mac10 it doesn't need to be. The current meta is sniper/Mac10 but among the full-autos the Bruen is once again a top-tier pick.

Yeah that’s it. Fortnite started it forever ago and “most” passes do the same thing. It also means you’re not spending money on cosmetics (which is what they want you to do)

This battle pass is almost up though, I think only 8 days left on it or something. Wait until the next one because you don't get your points returned unless you finish/get very close to finishing all the tiers.

Yeah that’s why I’m asking, I got like 300 free points now but it’s either buy 500 or 1100 or 2400, which all doesn’t work out. Or do the free points reset?

I’m waiting anyway.

Ok that one is on me then. I did use it a lot after the big nerf, but missed that it was buffed again. I've really only used them if I picked one up off the ground since and thought it was perfectly fine, but was not compelled to go back and make another Bruen loadout.

And yeah the 60 round mag doesn't have the novelty it's used to, because I only care about mobility to the point that it isn't overly cumbersome, since like you said, I'm going to be carrying a MAC 10 with amped anyways. I don't really need it to be that mobile.

i greatly prefer the way battlefield 4 handled weapon damage stats - damage/range is dependent on the caliber of the round (so all 5.56mms do the same damage, 7.62s do more damage etc) and the rest of the stats are what the weapon itself control.

that said i went back to play that recently on xbox and it has not aged well. the controls and feel are so clunky compared to MW2019

Boy howdy, should I press record for you.

I received Cold War as an extremely generous gift from a friend who heard I was thinking about it. I only played it for a few hours, so my thoughts are very preliminary -

- The single player campaign is actually interesting enough that I'm not forced to turbo skip bog standard Seal Team Six edgy drama.

- The multiplayer feels really different, but I literally only got in a hour or two. I'd say MW had better graphics/feel, but the Cold War maps had a lot more visual variety that I liked. The guns seem pretty loving cool, too. I can finally use all those blueprints I unlocked! I managed to come in first for two domination rounds, then land next to or dead last. Gotta learn these maps.

This is kinda funny, because I recently had an impulse to fire up Battlefield 3 again. I havent played it since 2015, but man, I took to it like a fish to water. For me, movement and shooting in BF3 feels way more fluid and intuitive than MW.

Where in MW i struggle to not end up in last place, and consistently seem to have a negative KD ratio, in BF3 i easily get top three, almost without trying and avg kd ratio of 2.

I guess there is something about MW that just dont jive with me for some reason. I usually quickly figure out the ins and outs of FPS games, but MW has me stumped, and I dont know why. Anybody else having this problem?
