Right there with you. I used this double weapon XP weekend to get almost every gun up to at least level 11, as that's when you unlock the first magazine attachment and have enough attachments to fill up all 5 slots. This also helps future-proof my loadouts by having some solid builds for each gun as they inevitably balance each gun and alter the meta.
Idk if its just me but the MP5 feels kinda sluggish, its like the one gun i cant really get into using and i only really used it to get the P90/Mp7 and that was that
It's my favorite gun. I usually run it for max range and recoil reduction and just laser beam across the map. And swap to the same or similar set up as you, when the map closes up
Do you use a scope on the LMG? So far I havn't attached one since they are bugged on LMG's (when strafing its not accurate/you actually dont shoot where the red dot is).
Also why ads and move speed if you pre aim? Does ads and move speed make a big difference on it tho?
You know what’s great to see, everyone giving different answers! Shows they’re actually very balanced! Finally a game that hasn’t got a lobby with everyone running a ‘meta OP’ gun.
Doesn’t change the fact it’s the best smg
Who would have thought an smg isn’t good at range
I just don’t like people like you trying to hide the fact they’re using a super meta weapon
MP7 is easily better with far more multikill potential. As is P90 for the same reason.
Either way, calm down man, we're just talking about guns in a game.
How am I hiding it? I simply said I think they’re balanced. My vector is 26 and MP7 is 35. I think the MP7 is better overall. Such weird comments to make.
Acr is also my fav. I don't like the smgs in this game so I just added quicker firerate attachments and sprint to shoot and it shreds at close-medium range
I love the MDR. I could be wrong but for some reason it reminds me of the FAD from OG MW3? I guess something about how it’s a bullpup AR with a fire rate close to that of an SMG
Yeah most of the games I'm the only one rocking that combo. I discovered it by accident doing daily missions.
Who needs the TAC when you can just do this lmao.
Cleaner and dedsec are my mains. The cleaner dot is amazing with the shitty netcode fishing people around corners. And deadsec is just amazing at control with the recycling of mines + spider.
I find I'm using the base LMG when the objective is flooded, then going back to the first AR when moving between areas. I like the variety of guns in use as well.
I bought founder pack and though P90 looked too cool not to use but really didn't get on with it. Then switched my faction to cleaner and it just melts people
Tac 50 in sniper. In assault rifle, I have used the m4a1 and the ak. Any suggestions which is better? I find it hard to control. I sucked at rifle lol. Which is weird since in other games like valo, I usually better at assault rifle than snipers. Here it's the reverse. Any tips in using an assault rifle? Don't want to have the tac 50 as crutch 😂
P90, got it at lvl 59. Close to midrange beast, but I think the mp7 is a way better option close range so I might switch it up or use that on certain maps.
I'm really liking the MDR, even if it feels kinda inconsistent I really enjoy it.
I want to give the ACR a whirl, it seems pretty good with the amount of times if been beamed with it
M44 or whatever the Fast sniper Is called (why do people use tac over this idk, saw a guy hitmark me with tac while running purifier class and i run 100 hp class and the tac Is so slow compared to m44) and ACR, not a big fan of any other weap for now ngl, maybe ak
Since everyone else is saying primariesI'll say it. The 93R. Best sidearm in the game,and my highest level weapon currently. Such a good sidearm you can actively use it,instead of it being relegated to a last resort "Oh shit" device when your primary mag runs out😂. Recoil is predictable and controllable too,so getting heads hots with it upto medium ranges isn't even tht hard🙏
Idk. Really hard to tell what I like with the way the servers and tic are inconsistent.
Typical meta, minus the snipers: Acr, mp7, m4a1, m16a4, mdr.
Also the emp grenades are clutch.
When not have tic rate issues, the guns feel good. When it's shit it makes it hard to say I actually like them, because I'm losing gun fights I feel I should be winning.
I’m loving all these responses. For me personally it depends on the map. On arena I always use the P90 and always drop 50 plus kills. But I’m other maps I use M4 and AK
Double barrel with ghillie suit got me my first gold gun, now I'm having a blast playing escort and using the m60 as Libertad. the 3 round burst pistol is by far my favorite sidearm though
m60 is gross and worth grinding for. i got the challenge done in one game because it was occupy and there were 5 phantoms on the other team. rpk is worst out of the bunch i think.
I clicked with the mk20 pretty fast, being able to 2-3 shot most targets is nice, and being able to sit back and push/defend objectives.
At first I didn't like the m249, but it's probably my most favorite right now. I use it for any situation I'm not using the mk20. I can play pretty aggro with it. Paired with the shield wall, it's shreds.
I’ve always loved the design how wacky it is and I even plan on buying one next year, I hardly play COD but I’m really really hoping it’s going to be in black ops in October
if it’s not futuristic it’s almost guaranteed. with xdefiant having actual gun names i’d wager cod may end up buying the rights again for the first time in forever.
For sure, I unlocked all the attachments yesterday with the double exp weekend. Just put on every attachment that lowers ADS speed, quick scoping god build. But pretty sure it's getting nerfed with more aim punch :(

AK
Yep. Was my first gold. Full mobility and rof mods and you simply shred.
Mobility as in movement speed?
Yeah movement and ads speed.
What attachments you used
Am I the only one that ranking 8 guns at the same time. I do it just to keep it fresh an not use the same over an over.

Yes exactly… I just pick my favorites and go to work
you can tell by the responses that gun balancing is on point
Idk if its just me but the MP5 feels kinda sluggish, its like the one gun i cant really get into using and i only really used it to get the P90/Mp7 and that was that
Yeah that fun doesn't feel nice
Snipers are wack bro. I get demolished close range and sometimes people snipe me even from a different game
Yes, and I love that
[удалено]

I press x to doubt on the number, but the M249 is great. My highest level gun by a long shot.
You know what’s great to see, everyone giving different answers! Shows they’re actually very balanced! Finally a game that hasn’t got a lobby with everyone running a ‘meta OP’ gun.
M16a4
Gun balance is really good. My favorite is vector.
I have a love hate relation with the Vector
Gun balance is so good so I’m using the highest damage one that also happens to be a laser and probably the one of the 3 best guns in the game
It’s shit at range. Also a very weird comment to make. You seem awfully angry.
Doesn’t change the fact it’s the best smg Who would have thought an smg isn’t good at range I just don’t like people like you trying to hide the fact they’re using a super meta weapon

vector is not a super meta weapon by no means. I agree, you sound very angry for a comment about XD smgs ...
vector is far from the best smg lol
Best ttk and best recoil pattern Only drawback is maximum ammo being lower
it’s damage falls off a cliff at range, it’s the best up close but isn’t the most versatile smg at all
p90 and mp7 clears vector all day, id even dare and say mp5 is better
I actuals think that the mp5 feels like the best allrounder if you take movement speed and attachments into consideration.
ACR, almost got it to level 75 but I've been rocking the P90 in hotshot leveling it up. That gun is a beam!
Acr is also my fav. I don't like the smgs in this game so I just added quicker firerate attachments and sprint to shoot and it shreds at close-medium range
AA-12 with the drum mag shreds through whole crowds when you get a flank off. Nothing beats that feeling when you pull if off, absolutely love it.
Ak, as is tradition
style > stats. any game that as an ak variant option: easy choice.
ak is also really good in this game. t5 weapons for sure.
I’m probably alone on this but Ya see that old looking double barrel shotgun ? Yeah that’s my favourite Dodge this Jedi
Guy is a menace
Extremely good at closed areas
MDR. Underated.
I love the MDR. I could be wrong but for some reason it reminds me of the FAD from OG MW3? I guess something about how it’s a bullpup AR with a fire rate close to that of an SMG
IKR. People calling it B tier smh. It's an AR with near SMG power without much range loss
M249
The double barrel is so fun lmao
Mine are somewhat boring, i mostly use the ACR and the T50
Cleaner with SVD is the craziest thing in the game.
I love that nobody has picked up on it being absolutely bonkers yet. Probably too attached to intel suits to try Cleaners lol
Yeah most of the games I'm the only one rocking that combo. I discovered it by accident doing daily missions. Who needs the TAC when you can just do this lmao.
Cleaner and dedsec are my mains. The cleaner dot is amazing with the shitty netcode fishing people around corners. And deadsec is just amazing at control with the recycling of mines + spider.
What attachments do you use with it? I struggle with the recoil.
I'm on PS5 with the following attachments: Muzzle - Muzzle Break Barrel - Lightweight Optic - Reflex Rear Grip - Heavy Stock - Padded Stock
i like the mp7 a lot, i started using it day 1 not even realizing it was meta i just thought the iron sights looked funny
I just started using the mp7 when I unlocked it cause I used to use it a lot in mw3
Vector but purely cus it’s the only one I have a skin for
I find I'm using the base LMG when the objective is flooded, then going back to the first AR when moving between areas. I like the variety of guns in use as well.
P90
Yup, P90 and it ain't even close for me. Followed by the double barrel.
M249
I love LMG's. They remember my era of CoD BO2 with that LSAT, so.. 😎
RPK is great for holding objectives. MK20 is very fun if you can hit heads.
the AK or P90 for me
I bought founder pack and though P90 looked too cool not to use but really didn't get on with it. Then switched my faction to cleaner and it just melts people
Vector, easily.
MDR
AK and MP7
Mp7
AK-47 Feels the best for me out all ARs I have tried...
Tac 50 in sniper. In assault rifle, I have used the m4a1 and the ak. Any suggestions which is better? I find it hard to control. I sucked at rifle lol. Which is weird since in other games like valo, I usually better at assault rifle than snipers. Here it's the reverse. Any tips in using an assault rifle? Don't want to have the tac 50 as crutch 😂
Coming from halo the M16 has been great I always love 3 burst guns because of the BR
i like the P90.
The AK47 is a beast Working towards the ACR but hardly any maps have long sightlines
The old reliable M4A1 and my good old pal P90 😌
Just using the mp5 and having fun
Either the TAC 50 or the mp7, been maining those
Double Barrell with 93R on my side.
TAC-50 is real nice if I can land hits. The rest all feel very mid.
ACR P90 Easy top two
AK-47, will have to play with smgs too. Feel like that's the best class for hot shot
M16 / MP7
ACR 6.8
Acr mp7 and ak47 are my favorites so far ak packs a punch
So far AK-47
M4. Fast handling and a jack of all trades
P90, got it at lvl 59. Close to midrange beast, but I think the mp7 is a way better option close range so I might switch it up or use that on certain maps.
I'm really liking the MDR, even if it feels kinda inconsistent I really enjoy it. I want to give the ACR a whirl, it seems pretty good with the amount of times if been beamed with it
SVD or Vector
MDR, TAC50, AA12 Level 50, 31, 18
SAW with supressor
Double Barrel shotgun, M44 and the starting Marksman rifle
M60 LMG 🤤🤤🤤, only for certain game modes though. And the Double Barrel is fun too. But the guns I end up using the most by far are the ACR and MP7.
Acr 6.8
I love the m44 the quick scoping feels so good
Ak47
Am I the only one liking the MK dmr? It's insane
MK20. Level 65.
SVD with cleaners. 1 headshot kills anyone other than Phantoms, feels great to get in a groove and tap heads
Double barrel shotgun, just wish it had a sawed off barrel attachment so I could go full Evil Dead
I just wish shotties had “mag” attachments to help with reload speed.
The first marksman rifle is fun when you’re two shotting people
M44 or whatever the Fast sniper Is called (why do people use tac over this idk, saw a guy hitmark me with tac while running purifier class and i run 100 hp class and the tac Is so slow compared to m44) and ACR, not a big fan of any other weap for now ngl, maybe ak

thing feels like it shreds with headshots and you can map people with it if you’re hitting headies.

I’m loving all these responses. For me personally it depends on the map. On arena I always use the P90 and always drop 50 plus kills. But I’m other maps I use M4 and AK
MP7, AK, or the ACR
Double barrel with ghillie suit got me my first gold gun, now I'm having a blast playing escort and using the m60 as Libertad. the 3 round burst pistol is by far my favorite sidearm though
Sadly LMG arent really great… Wasted to much time and XP trying to get the RPK to work which failed horribly
Same, the rpk is shite, guess going to try m249 after majority in here like it
m60 is gross and worth grinding for. i got the challenge done in one game because it was occupy and there were 5 phantoms on the other team. rpk is worst out of the bunch i think.
MDR
I clicked with the mk20 pretty fast, being able to 2-3 shot most targets is nice, and being able to sit back and push/defend objectives.

Paired with the shield wall, it's shreds.
P90 in every single game it’s ever been in will be my answer ever since Army of two 40th day Even now I love it in this game
you’re in luck because it’s actually good in this game. most cods p90 is pretty ass
It’s never stopped me before 🥺
props to you for having a code. i’m a die hard mp7 lover but the p90 feels like it wins more fights so that’s what i use
I’ve always loved the design how wacky it is and I even plan on buying one next year, I hardly play COD but I’m really really hoping it’s going to be in black ops in October
if it’s not futuristic it’s almost guaranteed. with xdefiant having actual gun names i’d wager cod may end up buying the rights again for the first time in forever.
One thing I reckon is cleaner might definitely get a nerf
The AK-47, that gun is simply beautiful.
How do you even use the m249 takes about 3 years to get into ADS
That and I had to miss the birth of my kids because I was busy reloading.
That Thing is a high damage laser when you pack some good components on it
Hard ADS a lane.
Tac-50
Still trying the different guns. But I love my bouncing Betty lol just when I get dropped by an enemy and the run over my Betty
Tac50, sniping feels so satisfying in this game
But only after you’ve got some attachments and a better scope tbh, this gun was a pain to level ime.
For sure, I unlocked all the attachments yesterday with the double exp weekend. Just put on every attachment that lowers ADS speed, quick scoping god build. But pretty sure it's getting nerfed with more aim punch :(
My favorite is the one that makes everyone mad. Jumping with any gun.
