Thinking of buying this is it just luck from these type of crates
It’s all luck
I got the main reward in first 10
I have more luck with crates than draws
That sucks really like the ak17
Kinder reminds me of that weapon from ghost forgot the name of it but it looks like that
If you have ground forces, you can get 50% off 10 crate pulls
But only 3 times a month
Dam Aight thanks
This crate is super expensive
No prob
Lmao the bot cant even make a normal build
Wtf is this

I can’t read that
The bot gave that😭
i know it uses the 15r fmj mag
i also know it uses the quick response barrel, skeleton stock, and tac laser
i just don't know what the grip tape is
Yeah lmaooo
if that's granulated, then change the 15r mag to the large extended mag B
the one that adds 15 rounds
Is this weapon worth it?
Sure. The kill animation is cute.
@dapper laurel it’s a shotgun right?
No, a sniper rifle.
@dapper laurel Oo
Actually a marksmen rifle.
@dapper laurel I dont like a rifle man
There’s few shotguns so you have to wait a while.
🥹
If you use spr, yes. If you don’t, no
@rich arch Ty for the advice
No way
Light supp, banner heavy, no stock, tac laser, sturdy tape
Swordfish setups?

Nah
ok you guys are gonna hate me but.. from the person that brought to you full range CBR i present..
full bsa recoil control kilo 141

Do full bsa swordfish or u gae
1mw laser ew 
rip ads
@viscid belfry not that bad, have you used the kilo with the drum mag? Its 1/6th ish of that
@uneven anchor 🫂@viscid belfry


the real rip is the strafe speed on that thing 
also the mag tho
can someone tell me if my gunsmith for m13 is good?
Rubberized to granu for the extra bsa. Pull down for recoil control.
alr thanks
Hi
I’m not really liking my current
Tac supp, memorial cowboy, combat, stipple, 9r/soh
but wtv
I hate it
Use it like the outlaw
Quickscope it
Renetti loadout please
Hows this?
Compensator, 5mw, ext mag, handmade tape, free slot
Is this ok???
Thanks m8
Light supp if halberd
Call this my tenderizer u wont regret trying it

Errr ok
Krig?
do you guys have melee stats? like raise and drop times?
rds to firm grip and its fine
mag to fast ext mag b
and barrel to ext/taskforce barrel
Hello
what do you want
Nothing
oh ok
no default krig iron sight is bad
rds is a must
firm grip isnt really needed since base krig ads speed is fine
is that a serioius question?
no its not holy shit
ur opinion
Everything is fine without an optic
what r u on?
I generally see it that if you're using a slot on an optic, you're wasting the slot where you could've spent it on something that actually improves the stats
as if the stats mean anything at all
u know u cant 100% rely on those stats right?
You can git gud to get around an un-optimal sight. You can't outperform the numbers
dont gimme that 'skill issue' bullcrap with it
Which stats do you refer to? If you mean the bars on the right then I get you
But this on the other hand? this is reality
i dont know what kind of delusion ur living in
how can anyone think the base krig optic is fine when it literally isn't
stop lying to urself
Only iron I remember finding infurating among ARs is the LK24, but that gun is the definition of mid so who cares
even if someone is skilled enough to use the krig w/o an optic it doesn't change the fact that base krig iron is a piece of crap
lk irons aint bad wdym
lk24 irons is still better than the krigs
lol
for good reason
Agreed
kn44 as well
kn44 just needs a slight buff to its dmg multiplier & this shit would be formidable in ranked
Yeah that one's just a step below being goated
One of my favorite ARs, along with the AK47 and now the EM2
my fav ar now is icr1
krig irons arent thaat bad
Yes they r
the only real bad irons are LAPA holy please abolish that thing
Even em2’s irons r abt as bad
wtf i like EM2 irons
Lapa & krig irons r equally bad
AIN no way bro
The gilded hammer i mean
ur trippin
wha em2 gilded and default have like the same sight
No lmao the em2 gilded hammer has a more obstrusive iron
mega skill issue 
Default em2 iron is bttr than gilded hammer em2 iron
Yea u have it not me
Skill does not correspond to bad irons
Bcoz its bad

i mean sure its worse than average but its still fine
Being able to use a gun w/o an optic doesnt make the gun better
yes jt does
It just means u r a bttr player
No it doesnt HOLY SH
well at least he admits it
BRO
BRO
an extra attachment?? Hello??
Not even
Infinitely better gun than forcing an optic
Its literally diff attachment
Hell no
Its like saying in chess i can play w/o using queens & bishops & just the pawns, it doesnt mean the pawns r better than queen & bishops
unless aim shake is a problem or using the lapa or you have a free slot you should never use an optic
It just means u play bttr
bro you cant deny that a 5th attachment makes the gun better
U r making it sound like “bcoz i use krig w/o an optic means the krig irons is good”
U dont see the flaw in that?
i mean its kinda true
The krig irons are fine.
Wow…
krig is better when you can invest more attachments in it
optic is a wasted attachment rip bozo
Im done discussing abt this
Keep telling urself that

U can lie to me but u cant lie to urself
They're not "good" like AK/KN good, but they're fine. Not worth using up an attachment slot to replace.

@nimble spear exactly, since when did an optic boost weapon stats?
k
You aint convincing anyone 
Anybody uses m16 for ranked
Bro what is this anology
That is exactly what ur telling me
What happen here
its actually like saying you dont need a queen because youd rather trade the queen for a clearer board 
mf cant see 
not even omfg
ironicccc


What’s the best mode + and/or map to grind Diamond Camos on? Specifically Snipers
Right now I’m running Frontline on Crossfire
I do. One of my favorite guns right now.
free for all shipment @lusty obsidian
For snipers??
I got the M16 mastered so I had to run it in ranked
if you’re good enough to land 10 kills yeah its good
whoops wrong reply, but you know who it was
i grinded my sniper off of free shipment
is that burst or auto?
ah, nice
I like it in burst because that gives it a cool identity among the guns. In wild fire it feels like a dollar store Krig 6
i think burst is better too, it was buffed i think
Codm is to sweaty
sometimes it can be
i use m16 in auto
actually feels asmr-esque
the firing sound
but the burst fire aint bad either
Can anyone recommend me a fast ads locus loadout?
depends
can you consistently hit upper chest?
because if not then you’ll need higher damage mag and that slows ADS
if thats the case than this all you need
5th attachment can be the 10 round mag because it doesnt reduce ads speed
tac laser
true, but imo it aint worth it.
I tend to like the ability to excel with both. I replace tac laser with the -range suppressor, and then run all the ADS stuff on the other attachments
Although sometimes I'll have an alt build saved with the laser for when I straight up only want to quickscope
id rather be able to aim back as fast as i can to land the next shot in case i miss
no.
sad
but then again i have skill issue with snipers
m4lmg is actually good
Well maybe someone does, but I don't like it.
ul736 is also underrated
ok now THAT I can agree on.
aft the huge ads buff and recoil buff to ul its now one of the better lmgs
only issue is the base mag size of ul
Yeah gotta use the big mag attachment
& the bsa of ul
not really good for beaming cross map sadly
but midrange wise it can be deadly
beamability is good to have
i know m16 auto isnt that good anymore but i just destroyed a lobby that was using cbr4 & krigs
in ranked
and it was in express lel
I actually fucking hate Shotguns in br
idk which bright guy decided to pick express but hey...if it works it works right?
too op?
UL dmg in BR is quite high
i tried echo in br
They're the most annoying users
the dmg is better but teh fire rate is trash af so i changing to jak
They shoot u once then run away
gurantee win :)))
br0ken bel like
Jak still good after nerf 
auto shotgun user are worse
What’s the ideal amount of mobility to try to have if you’re using AR’s?
fr
shotgun gurantee win
decent amt
From experience the 1 shot ones are worst
By and hs0
people be like br0ken skill trashing people
hs0 not so much i deal w krm users a lot...annoying lil' pricks
Shoot a number range
most important handling stat is ADS time
uhh just look at the ar builds here
ar doesnt really need much ads
I like ADS
ok
ok
to me accuracy i prioritize more for ar
ok
I'm still trying to figure out what the hell "mobility" means
acc is better
ads isnt that impt for me for ars
The past 2 days all I've been killed by is shotguns
Bsa is way better for AR
how fast u r lel
Yeah ADS and BSA
I dont think range matters that much
could be me😏
Like
The bar stat
Or the actual mobility stats
Range depends on the gun's base
bar stat
Not the auto ones though
Because that one actually requires you to get into actual fights
Well what AR we talkin every AR is different
speaking of which...i killed a by user just now with a point blank frag lmfao
Let's talk about Val.
oh no VAL 
That mf was running around a large rock
i was supposed to switch to my smg but instead i threw the frag
and he got baited lmao
top 3 aim shakers, val for sure
SO many people were using val when it was fresh
the frag killed the by user
Everytime i see him i shoot him, but he'd do like 100 damage
even with kinetic armor stack?
Ofc
yea theyre the worst
Daddy m16
even the leggy m16 has aimshake
M16 shake buffed
m4 too
Kilo
there goes my whole comment out the window
m4 aimshake i think has it the worst among ars
Try base kilo
base kilo is worse?
starter AR
Has one of the worst aimshakes
oh god
Idk, but it's very very bad
0 aim shake kilo trust
whyy why they do tis
Dingo>>>>>>>Every other gun
I do like that they at least buffed the M4 a bit at one point
Oden
Oden had alot
meh odens kinda manageable, it’s just recoil
use compensator instead of gran for even less recoil and aimshake
it did
rip BSA i guess 
What are your thoughts on running an optic on the krig 6? 🙃
Quite normal on base krig
didnt i say?? case closed?
Kilo has great base bsa
And u have marksman, ranger, steady and Owc tac
Doubt it's gonna be bad
It's a wasted attachment ofc
recoil will kick in tho
esp close to ammo expended
it controls enough recoil for me personally while also maintaining high bsa. Perfect beamer
I don't get the kilo hype
meanwhile m13 be like: step aside kilo i got this
m13 
proceeds to miss every shot by half q inch cuz horizontal recoil
m13 used to be broken but now it got nerfed
rip
meanwhile everyone sleeping on the hvk
M13 sucks, the theoretical 4stk is overhyped that thing is heavy, inaccurate and eats ammo
hvk w stopping power >> kilo imo
ak117 has similar traits
Build it as a flex
Dingo>
HEY dont diss ak117, its perfect the way it is 
no its one step away from perfection
I don't feel m13 and ak117 should be direct rivals tho
it has to be, ak117 why must u hv random recoil
yet so few use it
if ak117 didnt hv the rng recoil id use it more
Nah random recoil is a very small thing, almost no bearing on how good it is
cant control horizonti on ak117, sounds like another skill issue
Just the consistency of its good performance
and that thing eats ammo like a truck
What build u use
wait, is the recoil really random? or is it just bsa?
It's random
But the magnitude of horizontal is very very low
Just pulling down does the trick
Here she is 
yo you're right
Change granulated to ext light
does it help tho
keep reloading the weapon comparison chart and the recoil plot keeps shifting
i think so
why it performs good enough
i love how codm took the time to make the no stock gold but not the mag or that little underbarrel grill thing
Idk the name
better range dmg than CBR while near exact firerate
Atleast it's not ak-47 gold which barely covers anything
RIGHT? Gold should cover the whole gun just like diamond
shloonga bonga
Good to go?
Yea
Alright then
Good M13 range loadout
yeSIrRRrrr
best m13 loadies of all time
RTC heavy long barrel
No stock
Owc tac
.300 RTC double stack
Flash guard
Fixed
Wtf am i watching
I like flash guard better but most people prefer gran
smol boi
That's not good for range either
its build for aggro so
Bro what
the dude mentioned long range
I'd like to see u beat anything at long range with that
Ez
m13 is also ok for aggro
sniper main
And krig pp and switch
Mono supp
Gran
No stock
Owc tac
Ext mag B
Or
Flash guard/gran
Heavy long
No stock
.300 RTC double stack
Owc tac
done
fixed
I would just use smg if its beyond 20m
wait
You'd use SMG for that range?
But idk i dont use smg anymore i only use sniper so dont ask me
"beyond 20m"
i don't get what ur trying to say
I barely use ar and smg
Sure
i should be sniper main but idk if i really hv the aim skill
Use by15 slugs instead
yessir
By15 with slugs requires more skill than snipers though
@lean frost m13 is best for mid range to close range fights
Most people who use that build with mini barrel are aggressive players so that build fits their playstyle
Most of their fights will be in close to mid range

the other dude specified long range
Mini barrel isn't gonna do well for that
gud luck killing anything over 20 metres
Dont bother with her
She aint gonna listen

nice
M13 irons aren’t great for long range to begin with tbh
And most of your fights will be around mid range in mp anyways
Ima make a good close to mid range m13 loadout rq
I thought 20m was mid range but maybe i shouldn't bother
Speaking from experience btw
even better
20 is close
Mid is 20-40
Long is 40+
feel like this build would actually do better then a mini barrel build

It's not good i know that, but for range it'd do better then a mini barrel build
that build has double stack, mono and heavy barrel
breh
you also forgot that its mono + doublestack
in short double suppression
I'm not defending the build, it's bad, I'm just saying it'll probably fare better then this at long range
Man you’re not gonna sit on a head glitch like a sniper
Is based wrong this time?
There’s no point for you to use it long range
I use mono + 60r
So far i agree but don't have the context
Mini barrel good for long range passive m13
I don't even use suppressor with my weapons

Mini barrel good for long range?!
I got 0 recoil build
I should switch out the laser on my cbr build

just like mac-10 is best Marksman, ye
Why double stack and mono
Laser is fine
Ah they talking about m13 ranged build
Typical based tbh
Bsa doesnt matter on slugs
Uses gran
and that build is gonna nuke strafe
Cause I got slots for it and scopes are too slow
FMJ on a AR
Oh god
That's what I'm saying
Just use the normal M13 builds
It works tho
i still think ur build is bad
just saying fmj works on ars
unlike most smgs (excluding cbr and agr)
Can't argue with that, With M13 fmj would probably hold up well, But M13 dumps ammo quite quick so you'll have to reload often
but the mono+40r+heavy barrel is my main issue
Just why
Ima probably swap fmj cause it's more of shredder
Why do u need double suppression
and why do u need +85% or whatever amount of ranges those give
im fine with heavy + doublestack
just not mono + doublestack
Mono is problem?
Mono + heavy long
no

no
Mono+40r is the problem
So swap mono
It's nice in br
as stupid as that sounds id unironically use it
You say u main br right
ther
Yes, cuz mp is just hell in vng
akimbo fennec.
Fastest rage quit in the west
Rn I'm thinking fennec
only two range drops that are important
0-35.2-56
did they remove the tossing upward flip reload animation for the dual mag on m13?
yes
WHAT
yes
It's dumb
dude thats it, m13 is pure garbage
Activision decided practically was more important then coolness
For once
I don't like the new pk sounds
I suspect its making ne screw up
casually adds new sounds and animations which nuke optimization with the same update
mythic m13 inspection be like
Did I fix loadout?
why u adding recoil control attachments on m13 
just use the normal M13 builds
It should have a custom quick melee
It's not hard to control m13's recoil
bro casually waits for inspection to finish only to get knifed
Sucky sucky fucky fucky
i can play
Oge
Fuck customs

m13 believers..
No but fr if u build it as a flex its top tier
tell me one AR with quicker rpm then m13

tell me one AR which can be turned into a literal smg and a normal mid-long range AR
wrong

how

and? Just a hundred less
Man didnt read the question
Tell me one gun with 4m strafe and over 40m effective range
just?
bro give it to the oden if u think it's just 100

just 0.1s slower 
AGR 556
totally as rare as i make it out to be
leaves
where are the enemies
Cordite has over 4m/s fr?
Wait i haven't invited yet
m13 non-believer
imagine not being able to control m13 recoil 

Heavy ✅ Innacurate ✅ Mediocre ✅
Witness the power of cordite
What's inaccurate?
low range ✅ eats bullets ✅

skill issue bro
How is m13 slow?
gun issue bro
i didnt say it shoots slow, but that its heavy

Mfw 3.94 is slow
mfw bsa

19 bsa
A tad high
Same as ak117
Yeah but you dont need to exactly shoot the head to 4stk
Your slow ass p90 has 20
Cbr and 117 can 4stk with out needing to head shot so bsa doesnt matter that much
Practical ttk would still be better than most if not all ars

And M13 can't..?
yes it cant
mfw M13 is not a 4 stk
M13 cant, but it's 6sk ttk is better than most 6sk ttk
if you dont head shot rip bozo 5 shots to kill
m13 flex where
You talk as if you have 100% accuracy

Sorry i had to play serious
up there
We let mf hv too much room
true
If both guns have the same ttk, the one with faster rpm would be better

And m13 doesnt lack much behind in terms of ttk
ideally you want no bv
Fennec kinda broken ngl
I still gonna use the m13 cause it's good

And I also grinded the gold camo
You would usually use it within 30m, and it hitscans to like 20m
It's an smg with ar range
Yeah
As opposed to val
People hated my sniper m13 loadout
Ar with smg properties
sniper m13?…
I just made it crazy long ranged
Range stack
ohhh
Double suppressed
Based

Full range m13 ok i have been converted
I had Heavy barrel, mono, double stack
How you gonna use that range when bv is a thing?
Long live the m13 🙏
Skill issue
Heavy barrel+ranger nukes strafe
Mono+40r double stack= double suppression (useless)
The fennec is pretty good ngl

More like 25 or so metres
ez hvk
so original
It's the same as ur other loadout
but better in some ways

man doesn't know the range drop still exists
Sorry if i bother you, Is m16 Worth it?
wildfire? sure
dont destroy my m13 full range dream
Full range my ass
Is there is any Weapon( Assault Rifle, SMG) That are Easy to use or OP(Except M13)?
“has zero mobility” 🤓
bc it is
bullets doing more damage is more important then mobility personally

um yeah dmg > mobility
Dont needa strafe if you rip bozod
gonna watch the shotgunner try and outrun my bullets

ok and
They are agile
They could find cover at any moment
Shotguns can one hit kill you if you're just standing still using a 0 mobility gun
🪖and they could get to you in no time
Yep

You prob use the long range shotgun build so you don’t understand how fast it is
What do you guys think about this skin 🥹
not the appropriate channel but uh its ok. I wont be able to see it on the battle field since ill never download it
The crate below though, the big boy skin that ones sick
So in other word, you're just a noob camper


Almost 2 times slower than my build
M13 is way more like smg rather than ar but
It works as ar also
If I need weapon with good dmg at long ranges then I'll pretty much use Krig
M13 is more of close to mid range weapon
Yall hate on this
Ye
No troll builds here
It's not a troll build
Goofy ahh m13
It gets the job done
The build I made is more my style
Better use this
💀damn you got the morning star
And Krig is infinite 5 tap AR and easy to use as well
Bro why would you try to defend that long ass m13💀
worse ttk lol
Yal hated me when i dunked on the m13 and when i go full range i still catch some flak
Yeah cool, would be shame if you get one tapped outta existence even before you fully ads against snipers

thanks man I gotta try that one
Twily can you buy me new AirPods
😔
no bypass

They could reposition in no time💀
and then everybody clapped
Yeah that's what the campers says all the time before they get destroyed
seems like I need to get mythic upgrade
I want the skin if yk what I mean
Also lmg could outplay you even in long range🪖
ill take my full ranged weapons somewhere else then
Any replacement for mag and laser?
Noice 
U can use stack mag and short barrel
If you don't want laser swap to gran
👀
oke
who uses hg40?
Finally
now get plati for it
2 out of 8 so far
Im getting close with the other shotguns, but headshots are holding me back
shorty is pain in the ass to grind so i wont grind gold for that
i cant be bothered w that shitty ass "pistol"
Ill play ground war and use a motorcycle to get to the enemy point. Then i can cap 2-3 snipers in the back of the head every match
Dead silence and a suppressor so they dont hear me coming
Someone give me a good kilo build
AR or marksman rifle
@ruby iris you got my back right? Kilo build
Mono, no stock, mag b, tac laser, gran or ext light
trust
Supreme
guys the new spectre bones skin is soo good
My eyes they burning
Who the hell thought that it's good idea to put 4.4x optic on this Buitiful skin
Gran on a burst is supreme
okay
Is this still the meta build or is there a new on
( Strike foregrip to tac laser)
yeah my eyes are burning to the insanely small foreign laguage
no the new meta is krig 6
I'm talking about the build 
this never was a meta build 
no stock, rtc silencer/long, gran grip, large ext mag b, owc laser
Show me pwes
what yall think about tectonic's kilo build
ah yes
RTC silencer on kilo
i feel like he should have used an lmg since the killo is so slow
mono
extended barrel (because of the damage range and bsa and recoil nerf)
no stock
50rnd
Gran/owc laser
That's the same build i have but without laser
oh wait i realised its kilo
^
i tot it was m13
Tank u 
same thing anyway
@lean frost what is the best gun you prefer
Qbz
Aug
Pwes cause I want something good better than my builds 
and the Dingus once that's out
wait
U were expecting me to prefer using meta guns?

I use everything that's bullpup
with exceptions being the ZRG since it resembles the chinese AMRs abit
and the fennec
I'm probably gonna use dingo the Dingus alot too
even if it's shit
I like the name
Dingussy

What to use and what are the good builds
I'm being annoying ik but i don't know what to do so pwes

diamond on sniper be hard the next 2 weeks il have gold i gues
i actually used an ads build now
instead of like the basic stuff
ima show
dingo lingo
Ohh god again
dingo gringo
Back to the suspicious name

No it sounds bad af
And so damn suspicious
Yea
Qbz-95: Mono, Steady stock, Owc tac, SP, Gran
Chicom: Mono, Light stock, Owc tac, Ext mag, Rubberized
UL736: Tac supp, Short barrel, Gran/light stock, 60r mag, Owc tac
Em-2: Agency supp, Taskforce barrel, Agile stock/striker
Swordfish: Tac supp, Light stock, Rubberized, Owc tac, Ext mag/light barrel
foregrip, 30r mag, Sturdy tape
Koshka: Light supp, short barrel, mobility stock, stippled, 6x scope/AP mag
Zrg(posted below)
gringo is just spanish word for foreigner

chicom......
what
Aug: Mono, Ext light, Light stock, Owc tac, 40r ext/60r 5.56
It's a bullpup so it counts
wut.....
Oh i forgot about s36
couldve at least said cbr4 or siwtch
Those are not bullpups
Thx but which is the best for me as a rusher
idc if its not a bullpip
Kreuger loves bullpups
[like none are]
fennec is best aggro smg but overall cbr4 is the better smg
I use Mac 10
Fennec build:
Mono
Light stock
RTC laser -Merc/5mw
Rubberized
Ext mag
fennec is better than mac right neow
are u serious right neow bruh
if someone want add build go for this
I'd prefer dingo the Dingus
but anything is better then this
Ok so Mac 10 with all my hard work and everything is bad
and this is normal build
dingo bingo duolingo
anything is better then that
powercrept
yes that how it is cfor codm
The first build is fine full mobility but why did you add fmj for this one
wall penetration
wall bang bang
yk
I would like another word than penetration
wall bang?
but no stippled 
Bro you are just so suspicious
Wait then my builds and bad for locus
nooooo
"We didn't penetrate their Armor, we barely scratched them"
-WoT commander voice every 0.2s when using MT-25

bro its literally the word for shooting poeple thru walls its called wallbang
I use stippled for speed especially that i go fast so i need speed i go for mobility more than anything
me when seasonal camo doesn't cover mag
It’s a fine build I’d just swap out the mag or fmj for stippled for the ads time and sprint to fire.
.....
If seasonal skin covered the whole gun tourny stonks instantly rise 📈
Compensator
Lamb soooosss
I use stopping power rounds to prevent hitmarker LS
also mfw strike foregrip 
Literally the worst attachment in the game
Strike foregrip is cringe
But since Holger already has great strafe for a lmg I think it'll just nuke it's strafe back to being a LMG
mhm
P. foregrip on Val:
I made that as a troll thing i used another build still close to this one but yea wanna see the other one 
i actually like the fact that holger is almost gud in everything except ads
good strafing, good dmg range, good dmg, decent bullet velo, large mag size and good control
I hate the fact that Holger is good in everything a lmg should be good in
I want dingo to be meta
i was 1v1 imng someone on shipmeny and the tac adds 3 perceny ads
no wonder kith codm said it was #2 gun in
well it’s an lmg it better not have fast ads and 100 bullets
@storm lance
why did codm even add so many unless attachments
Which is 1 frame worth of ads
"variety"
mw2:
.....
i clapped him 20 9 bro
and he was using zrg
I clapped u 20/3 and 2/3 of ur kill were with a knife
and dlq

coz u pro bruhh
why u bullin😂
Dlq isn't even meta tho
zrg tho
I'd use outlaw before I use that piece of overrated garbage
zrg hit flinch 😳
Less then dlq
zrg is closer alike to dlq
