What gun are you going to use in this Call of Duty?
	The good one that everyone else uses
	Another, different gun

Hey thanks for the pro-tip on the Gorgon. As a career 0.7 k/d guy I just went 42-15 on Nuketown and have been positive six games in a row.

Fine, you fuckers, you made me go do some spreadsheet work. I'm not going to publish it fully because I need to test some poo poo and I'm almost 100% certain a few of the numbers are wrong.

I didn't include shotguns because I'm pretty sure my rof number on the Brecci is wrong, but if I did, the Haymaker is near top tier at optimal (2sk) range, falls off rapidly from there, the KRM and Argus are bottom middle if they fail to 1sk, and the Brecci is near the bottom (but I believe that's wrong, I think it's actually between the Haymaker and KRM/Argus for its 2sk, and it has a more consistent 2sk range than the Haymaker).

There are also caveats out the rear end here, optimal range for some guns is like a hair outside melee range, and good luck consistently hitting full bursts, and it doesn't factor head shots, and it doesn't consider high caliber, rapid fire, suppressors, long barrels, blah blah. And lol if you think you can achieve ideal Vesper kill times at range.

ie, use these as tier lists to declare anything at the bottom poo poo tier and justify why you died.

Fastest to slowest, ARs/SMGs/LMGs/Pistols only, optimal range.
code:
1	XR-2		Assault Rifle
2	RK5		Pistol
3	48 Dredge	LMG
4	Vesper		SMG
5	Kuda		SMG
6	L-CAR 9		Pistol
7	M8A7		Assault Rifle
8	KN-44		Assault Rifle
9	Pharo		SMG
10	VMP		SMG
11	Gorgon		LMG
12	MR6		Pistol
13	Man-O-War	Assault Rifle
14	BRM		LMG
15	Sheiva		Assault Rifle
16	HVK-30		Assault Rifle
17	Dingo		LMG
18	Weevil		SMG
19	Razorback	SMG
20	ICR-1		Assault Rifle
Fastest to slowest, ARs/SMGs/LMGs/Pistols only, worst range.
code:
1	XR-2		Assault Rifle
2	48 Dredge	LMG
3	M8A7		Assault Rifle
4	Vesper		SMG
5	Pharo		SMG

18	Weevil		SMG
19	L-CAR 9		Pistol
20	Sheiva		Assault Rifle
This isn't the ideal way to show this, preferably I'd show it graded by range so you can see how different guns are better/worse at a given distance, but that'd take actual effort, and you aren't paying me enough for that

Guns in BO3 have a very pronounced damage stepping system, so at X range you'll take 3 shots/Y time to kill, but an asshair past that and it takes 4 shots/Y++ time to kill. This hits guns like the RK5 and Kuda particularly hard, and the KN44 to some extent.

(But yes, the XR2 owns, my first gold gun for entirely unrelated reasons I swear I believe it also reloads and moves faster than other ARs for no good reason, need to double check that though)

Please like, subscribe, and follow, it really helps me out.

So the 48 Dredge is better than the Gorgon??? :crossarms:

Nuketown is still there, it was just moved to the Chaos Moshpit playlist. So it's still there, for better or for worse.

Also, I'm terrible at this game. Like really bad.
I think part of that is playing solo.

I'm in the goon community group (PS4), does that mean I can just join people's parties or whatever?
I feel like such a dick just joining someone's party.

I don't know if playing in a group is necessarily any better. I play grouped with some friends all the time and we routinely get rolled. We just aren't very good.

PS: If there's a CoD training regimen please let me know what it is. Let's start with the basics like how do I shoot somebody.

I hosed up the stats on the burst guns, forgot to include burst delay for worst burst and fix the timing. Makes them a lot less terrifyingly dominant (duh), but still strong.

XR2 is pretty great though. I had a rougher time with the M8, lot of failed two bursts.

I had to take Grip off to (un)intentionally get more headshots

I die a lot and even I can run out of ammo for the Vesper. I've only been unable to grab another gun immediately like twice ever. So I kinda agree.

Meta Ridley posted:

Do hitmarkers even mean anything? I thought it was an ack from the server that a shot was hit and registered. I just had a time where it took 6 hitmarkers with a P-06 to kill, and many other times where I get too many hitmarkers for the weapon/range/damage but no kill. Seems like a new bug with BLOPS3 netcode since I never had this in BLOPS2 (where my bullets were sometimes made of air, but if I got a hitmarker it was a real hitmarker). BLOPS1 had the bug with instakill hitmarkers not killing like sniper/tomahawk/knife but I think they fixed that.

As I understand it, the hit markers are calculated client-side but actual hits are obviously done server-side. So when there's a mismatch you'll get false positives -- e.g., hit markers when you didn't really land hits.

I've never leveled an smg this far but I really have a lot of trouble using them in this game. They don't hip fire well and they take too many bullets to kill at medium ranges. Maybe I just need to keep on keeping on.

I like Redwood in theory.

In practice it's always been a piece of poo poo because playing with pubs means that half a minute into the round you're either on the winning team farming easy feeds, or you're on the team who is constantly spawning on the walkway and your only options are to go towards the point you don't control or the point you're currently losing - whichever you choose will lead directly to someone farming easy feeds for air scorestreaks that are impossible to shoot down without engineer.

This is why all my classes have engineer and a launcher. At least I can shoot down the scorestreaks I give away by being terrible. :gbsmith:

Is it? I did the 'get 50 kills without any attachments'-camo challenge for the KN44 last night, and I noticed that it's a good gun anyway. Doesn't really need quickdraw or grip. High caliber does make it better, but other than that I didn't really notice much difference. I even thought about throwing rapid fire on there, but I have no idea if that'd make any difference. Where did you find that data anyway?

It was in this thread a few pages ago. I use stock, suppressor, and grip. Grip is a little superfluous but I would still rather use it.

Suppressed KN44 is a 4hk. Unsuppressed HVK30 is a 4hk. So why not.

KN is 3 shots up close, and the suppressor hits it slightly less than other ARs. The important point is it keeps the 3sk up close where you're likely to run into subs. And it remains 4sk out to a longer-than-this-would-probably-be-lovely-for-its-recoil distance anyway.

High cal lets you get bullshit 2 shot kills occasionally, ymmv.

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

Good changes.

I'm very weirded out seeing Treyarch make consistently good weapon tuning decisions. They've done quite the turnaround from their previous weapon balancing.

Need to test the XR-2, see if the tweak helped with its consistency at all.

I don't think idle sway reductions will help the BRM/Dingo for me, but hey, free Gorgon/Dredge buff.

Reduced idle sway on Sheiva and Locus is just gravy, on the ICR, it could be cool with High Cal. You really really really really really need to hit the (high cal) headshots with the ICR or it is a Bad Gun with awful ttk. On the other hand someone killed me with it from grammas to the back window of the barn yesterday while I was using a Locus, so what do I know.

KRM needed the buff, no idea why the Argus got one but ok? Maybe a hipfire thing.

SMG sprintout reduction is... odd. Not sure what the motivation is there. Maybe help protect them against burst deaths or high cal hipfires?

Also they said 'collision tuning'. Maybe slightly less mangrinding at the start of rounds?

But why would they nerf my ripper? It's the funnest thing.
