To be fair it’s bad when people could laser you from a distance and most closer range maps are filled with 725 or R9 and the origin also a struggle to level up as a noob when I first got on it was extremely bad
I mostly play hardcore, and this is BY FAR my favorite gun. I run the no stock / osw para / stippled grip / sleight of hand. The 1 Shot kill plus the speed from those attachments makes this thing a force to be reckoned with.
Tool of destruction. You can spam those shots so fast and noobs/casuals wont touch it b/c it requires skill and finesse. Effective range and follow up shots are so clean Proctor & Gamble legit thought about replacing Mr.Clean with the FAL
I freaking love this gun due to the fact that it's very challenging yet rewarded when it's done right the forces me to slow down and actually think rather than just running and gunning
Agreed. I'm not really that good at COD especially at running and gunning so definitely get what you're saying, getting way more kills since I switched to this gun.
@@redoltwn5119 theres zero, I mean zero, fun in “quickscoping” or even worse “hip firing”. The same people that talk shit about hardscoping just hipfire smg’s and jump around everywhere It’s way more fun to play in a realistic and challenging way. Checking corners, holding lines of sight, and moving slowly. It’s a way more technical play style
The time between bursts is slower than the FAMAS so its less forgiving, but I find with the right attachments to mitigate the recoil its actually more consistent for single bursting opponents. I use the XRK Marksman barrel, Operator Foregrip, Tac Laser, VLK 3.0 optic and burst fire perk. It seems to work really well, with the laser offsetting the ADS penalties from the recoil attachments.
@@omnipotentpenguin it just suffers when it comes to range + moving Target. That's the worst combo against the burst. It's like the m4 with burst and socom rounds but double the ammo.
I remember playing this gun for 2 days in a row just to unlock burst attachment...when I did its fire rate got nerfed real hard(even burst firerate) next day :(
Don't let the stats fool you, you will get demolished in EVERY gunfight. The gun was WAY better before they nerfed the fire rate and something about this gun feels glitched on hit detection
The stats fool you? Lol The stats are accurate. The thing with this gun is that attachments unlocked in the beginning are worthless. The early optic is the only thing that helps. 😁
Eric Dai pretty sure getting flashed or stunned deals one damage so you could chuck a flash or stun and then run in and get an easier two shot or go for the funny tactical equipment kill if you shoot them and then they run towards cover
@@HiJack3r But its ADS speed is terrible and without the recoil control increasing attachments, the recoil is just uncontrollable for longer ranges. If someone ADS sooner than you, you're already dead.
@@HiJack3r Yeah, I do have MP, but I mainly base my opinions around Warzone as that's basically where guns usually show their disadvantages aswell. For sure, in Warzone, it's actually a great gun, just not without recoil control (unless you do CQC, but even then, your ADS speed will always be slower than most rifles).
@@HiJack3r With the right recoil and aiming stability attachments (I said aiming stability, because there's actually a big aiming sway that must be dealt with first or else your recoil pattern will be different everytime), it has a pretty decent kick that you can easily control. Its DPS though really depends on just how much you can aim at enemies. It can basically down an enemy in like 4 upper torso shots, because it both tears through the armor and the enemy's health. It's especially good for mid-range fights where you can pre-aim and shoot with less worry. Even in close-range, it's great, but only if pre-aiming is not a problem, because the big headshot damage also downs people satisfyingly fast.
Love the FAL, it's one of my main mid range weapons, awesome for picking people off in objective modes. Quite the multi tool with the right attachmenta
I love this in Hardcore game modes. One shot kills. 13" Para barrel, Sleight of Hand, Stippled Grip Tape are on my base to boost aim down sights and speed up reloads. For bigger maps (Aniyah Palace, Superstore etc) i add Monolithic Suppressor and Merc Foregrip to stay off radar and recoil control for the mid to long distance shots. For smaller maps (Rust, Shoot house etc) i add Tac Laser and CQB stock to boost aim down sights time. And my secondary is the 1911 pistol.
I absolutely love this gun. It's my go to for just about any map. I run a hybrid optic on it and don't use the burst. The delay when using burst absolutely kills me but that's just me. Some people shred with the burst.
Started playing two days ago, instantly ripped everyone a new one, because I used this weapon XD TBH I loved the FAL in every CoD I've played so far, so my triggerfinger is BUFF
the fal, due to it lower fire rate and high recoil making it more difficult to apply a fine coating of lead on the battlefield, suffers from poor netcode more than other guns. since its ttk is very fast its even more apparent when someone is eating rounds / the server is cheating you / helping them.
If they bring the G3 back and it's the same as it was in Cod4 RIP to my enemies. I like the FAL though not sure the G3 would be better sadly because they'd almost assuredly make it a 4 shot kill.
I decided to get the attachments for it on double weapon xp and fell in love with the FAL. I smoke guys before they get a shot off. I play hardcore and it’s a one shot kill. Plus using it makes your aim better and when you switch back to a assault rifle you’ll have a lot better head and torso accuracy.
callum I’ve been running the fr 5.56 as well. Really been doing well with it. I’m a rusher so that’s the closest I get to a sniper rifle. This COD is trailer made for the campers. I wish I could play shipment and the warehouse 24/7. I try to stick to domination hoping to have more ppl running around but lately seems every person on the team is carrying a sniper rifle and posting up. I’m usually the only guy running around capturing and whatnot. It’s so irritating. In domination if you sit in one spot for over 60seconds you should automatically die. Or make a mode for rushers and ppl that want to play others that move around.
kevo300 leveling it up as we speak. Also I’ve been trying the kilo and have been doing pretty well with it. It’s a laser beam. And With fmjs kills fast.
I'd suggest you test attachments without visible changes (eg. ext. mag ADS) in combination with others that affect the same stat. There might be some granularity there.
He made a video about this, and it was actually one of his first MW videos. he says that 2 things that make no difference at 60 fps equals about a 1 frame decrease of ADS
I fully upgraded this gun before anything else and before the accuracy buff. I just really wanted to use a solid semi auto that wasn’t a bulky sniper. Now I’m in love with this rifle!

It would be very hard to get clips that show specifically a situation where the class might have made a kill easier plus most people wouldn’t actually be watching that intently
@SevenKnows _ you should really try the burst attachment again, the recoil in that thing is just straight up stupid. The nerf a while ago made it basically useless
@SevenKnows _ Well yes but when you activate this it's like almost a complete different playstyle... Turning an semi auto into a burst weapon change the gameplay that's why I think it's important to talk about this... Also if you aim for the upper torso it's a 1 burst kill
Pierre C. So is the famas. And it’s 1000 rounds per minute within the burst. I think the burst would just make the fal a famas with less ammo and a slower fire rate
@@isaacheatley7989 True, but the FAL can one burst kill at any range. The Famas becomes a 2 burst kill after about 25-30 meters depending on attachments.
I have about 2,000 kills with this gun and it’s gold and throughout that process I feel like it’s had a stealth nerf or something with the hit detection
Great content as always! Imo the FAL is pretty perfectly balanced as is. It’s a higher skill weapon and rewards players who can master it with a great TTK. Simple as that.
this is my go to gun in warzone... Chuck a sniper scope and a few attachments on it and you can take out snipers really quickly... I dont know what attachments I use exactly but there is no recoil or sway at all and you can shoot really quickly with it
I absolutelylove this gun.. It's my new sniper as it is lethal, quiet with a silencer and one shot kills for days in HC modes.. I out shoot other snipers with this set up properly with a good scope. Loved it in earlier games, and it's still a great addition for fast kills.
Also something I'd like to mention with the recoil pattern: that's assuming you have a trigger finger that's that fast. if you don't, the center speed will most likely get you right back on target which is why the FAL doesn't have as much recoil as it appears to have in The Recoil pattern unless ofcourse your trigger finger is THAT fast. The center speed should get u back in target and the recoil shouldnt feel that drastic.
I was absolutely mopped up by a guy using a FAL on Euphrates, so I decided to give it a go and I failed miserably. The FAL might kill fast, but the low fire rate cap and the amount that people bunny hop, jump shot, drop shot and any manner of ADAD spamming means one missed shot during all of that mess and you'll likely lose the gunfight. I've learned so far that I either land my shots and win, or I miss a single shot and die. Great gun when it works! But I think the Oden in semi-auto outclasses it to a certain degree. The FAL is a hidden beast, but you've really gotta have the skill to use it, and I severely lack that. Oddly enough I can use the M14 just fine, so not sure what's going on there.
I definitely agree... When the game first came out I tried it and got slaughtered but I went back to it after I've gotten better but this is definitely the most rewarding gun to get a kill with imo... I like to run tuned up with stopping power
When I pick up a green or white FAL in warzone, I pair it with my load out with a FAL with VLK 3 sight light suppressor XRK barrel Merc forgrip and stippled. Basically negligible recoil for my long range gun and my ground loot one is good for close range fights or if I don’t take the time to reload and an enemy is hurt badly
This has been my main gun since launch, and it was awful to begin with, but I stuck with it and it's my favorite gun. I use it for long range, counter-sniping in Ground War. I run a 3x optic, the marksman barrel, the ranger foregrip, the tac-suppressor (just cause it looks better than the mono,, and at the ranges I'm at, three shots is always the standard), and sleight of hand. I love this thing, it's so satisfying to use.
The buff the FAL needs is to make the max upper torso damage 55 so that an upper and lower shot will still 2-shot kill, like the Oden, to make it more consistent. As it is now I feel like the Oden outguns it as a high damage, low rof weapon for high skill aggressive play, while the EBR is more consistent as a 2-shot marksman weapon. Though I could still see the argument the FAL fills a small niche between the two this way.
I love the FAL in Hardcore after the old patch. If im using it in core modes, i put burst fire on, it feels goooood. 2-3 shot burst kill. feels like the old M16
Hey, just wanted to say I’m really enjoying this series, and I appreciate all the testing you do for this game. It’s really helpful for someone who’s just getting into MW like myself. I’ve been wondering about Stopping Power, and what it actually does for the different weapon classes? Why does it enable one-shot kills on certain weapons but seems to have no effect on others? It would be awesome if you covered that in a future video. Thanks again for these videos, keep up the good work! :)
Hey Xclusive Ace! Luv ur vids! Isnt the Time to kill wrong here? 500 rpm = 8,33 shots pr second, right? So 1 shot would be 120ms. And it takes at least 2 shots to make the kill, so wouldnt it be 240ms TTK ?
Y'all should try my FAL setup. Been destroying with it. Ranger foregrip, stippled, gi reflex, no stock, sleight of hand. Plays well for being aggressive.
i use the first set up with a compesator instead of the bigger mag but i usally take scavenger since you have almost no ammo and most of the players use the m4 / mp5 so u cant pick up anything either
First video I'm seeing of yours but I gotta say I'll be coming back to see other gun videos cause you break it down perfectly covering everything. Thank you, cause there's so many other garbage channels out there
Jeeze im late to the party just started playing this tame watched this video to help me out "the right arm of the free world" is now one of my favorite guns thanks man
i believe the FAL is the sorta gun that somebody who is good with semi auto aka people who actually shoot guns because IRL semi is better and more accessible and because of that we get good with it and then the super crisp and light break we get on a mouse compared to a controller or real gun is better than all the triggers we have felt so naturally we are fast af boi
So far my favorite setup for this gun is, the ultra light barrel, VLK optic, No stock, MERC fire grip, and stippled tape. I personally feel recoil isn’t such a big deal since you can just space your shots for med/long range to maintain accuracy. At close range you can spray just fine and hit your target. :D
I think the question becomes "FAL or ODEN?" The FAL offers better handling characteristics, while the only clear advantage of the ODEN is the hipfire spread, which isn't tremendously relevant. In terms of comparing the TTK however, this is a bit murky. The FAL technically offers a faster TTK, but to accomplish this you do need a fast trigger finger. I think many people over-estimate just how fast they can actually click while also trying to accurately aim and I suspect that while anyone can click at 500 RPM or faster if they are just mashing left mouse, in a real game situation I can't help but feel that most players are managing less than 400 RPM while aiming. If this is the case, then the Oden's full auto TTK is actually faster.
the FAL is hands down the best gun for Hardcore. You can put a silencer on and it still one taps. If you build it right, it has virtually no recoil and it is hella accurate and one taps at range, two taps through walls.
It’s a high risk high reward weapon which combined with the fact it’s semi auto makes it a gun I’m not crazy about. The issue is that if it gets a buff those who really know how t use it can take advantage and it might be too strong. It’s a tough gun to balance but I Feel they should buff the recoil for sure. I think it’s the worst AR in the game but I only have an average trigger finger.
Everybody. Go to the game settings and look for voice chat filter and take off stealth comm. Game chat sounds so much better without that effect, I’m not sure if it’s on automatically or if I turned it on at some point.. also classic hit marker sounds. :)
Personally I feel it needs to have just pure vertical recoil. I tend to go for Max accuracy with my guns and even with plenty of accuracy attachments it kicks a bit too much for farther away targets who even move a little bit. Compound that with hit detection issues it makes it a pain.
When I first got this game, I saw practically no one using the FAL. I was the odd person in HC shredding through people pre-patch. Now I've seen almost an entire team using the FAL. It's pretty common. People even use it as a sniper, which I guess it fulfills that for me as well. I used to use a red dot, but I found on maps like Piccadilly, I needed better vision, so now I use a hybrid acog/red dot and can see very well. For some reason I just found the M4 really weak, even in HC, though pretty much everyone used it in HC as well as core. Nowadays, HC has really good gun variety. I guess people realized any gun is viable in HC or the other guns are actually just as good in the right hands.
What about the burst perk? Did you try it at all? It makes the FAL the only weapon in the game that can potentially kill in one burst at any range. I ranked up the FAL just to give burst a try, and it was totally worth it. You won't always land enough shots on the first burst to kill a player on the other side of a large map. However, the FAL will consistently one burst at much longer ranges than than Famas (FR 5.56) and will melt people at medium to long range with one trigger pull, especially if you include recoil mitigating barrel/attachments.
Bro. Run the compensator, para barrel, vlk, 24rnd mag, merc grip. It sounds dumb but holy cow. It no joke can do nearly anything. Ads is, good range, and ok recoil. You can melt people with this combo. The FAL is under rated AF imo.
I bought this Controller add on to make it so I could jump and aim at the same time and have an easier sprint button. I’ve tried to stay away from the extra programs on it but the Full Auto function makes the FAL straight Cheeze Wiz my guy.
Blazed 3 round burst is really good but it uses your perk slot and sleight of hand is really good for the fal just because of how much you need to reload so I personally go sleight of hand and regular semi auto cause I have a pretty gold trigger finger but I’ve tried the burst and it’s also good but definitely harder to run and gun
He made a video saying it does but he never went into detail on it. He just did like1 or 2 combos. I always assume stacking 2 attachments (no frames) = 1-3 frames
I think it's a huge disservice to this gun that you didn't talk about the burst perk. It makes it even faster to kill with the second fastest ttk AR behind the FR but the FAL doesnt drop off in range like the FR does. With its consistent two shot kill, the burst perk makes it a once burst kill at all times if you can control the recoil enough to hit every shot.
I wish you would show the original ADS times on screen when you talk about how each of the attachments impacts ADS, I tend to forget what the original time was when we finally get to the barrels
This gun excels a lot with a few key attachments. I'm currently working on getting gold on this gun and after the no attachments skins, I can finally use this gun to it's full potential. The default iron sight is quite bad imo, so you definitely need a scope unless you're playing an aggressive playstyle and can get away with it.

It would be very hard to get clips that show specifically a situation where the class might have made a kill easier plus most people wouldn’t actually be watching that intently
What about the burst version ? Sad you forgot this :(
@SevenKnows _ you should really try the burst attachment again, the recoil in that thing is just straight up stupid. The nerf a while ago made it basically useless
@SevenKnows _ Well yes but when you activate this it's like almost a complete different playstyle... Turning an semi auto into a burst weapon change the gameplay that's why I think it's important to talk about this... Also if you aim for the upper torso it's a 1 burst kill
Pierre C. So is the famas. And it’s 1000 rounds per minute within the burst. I think the burst would just make the fal a famas with less ammo and a slower fire rate
@@isaacheatley7989 True, but the FAL can one burst kill at any range. The Famas becomes a 2 burst kill after about 25-30 meters depending on attachments.
@@isaacheatley7989 The Famas is only a one burst kill out to about 25-30meters depending on attachments. The FAL can one burst an any range.
I have about 2,000 kills with this gun and it’s gold and throughout that process I feel like it’s had a stealth nerf or something with the hit detection
Great content as always! Imo the FAL is pretty perfectly balanced as is. It’s a higher skill weapon and rewards players who can master it with a great TTK. Simple as that.
this is my go to gun in warzone... Chuck a sniper scope and a few attachments on it and you can take out snipers really quickly... I dont know what attachments I use exactly but there is no recoil or sway at all and you can shoot really quickly with it
Firing with an unsilenced weapon doesn't make you show up on the radar, only the compass.
It does make you visible on the map with uav, even with ghost on
I absolutelylove this gun.. It's my new sniper as it is lethal, quiet with a silencer and one shot kills for days in HC modes.. I out shoot other snipers with this set up properly with a good scope. Loved it in earlier games, and it's still a great addition for fast kills.
This is one of my favorite semi auto ar's ever. For some reason, with my playstyle, it just works.
Same here.
Also something I'd like to mention with the recoil pattern: that's assuming you have a trigger finger that's that fast. if you don't, the center speed will most likely get you right back on target which is why the FAL doesn't have as much recoil as it appears to have in The Recoil pattern unless ofcourse your trigger finger is THAT fast. The center speed should get u back in target and the recoil shouldnt feel that drastic.
I just started using the FAL a few days ago, and I *instantly* fell in love with it; it's absolutely one of the most fun guns in MW. :D
I love that gun as for me I think it’s very accurate and I’m not the greatest person playing but I’m very accurate with that gun
I was absolutely mopped up by a guy using a FAL on Euphrates, so I decided to give it a go and I failed miserably. The FAL might kill fast, but the low fire rate cap and the amount that people bunny hop, jump shot, drop shot and any manner of ADAD spamming means one missed shot during all of that mess and you'll likely lose the gunfight. I've learned so far that I either land my shots and win, or I miss a single shot and die. Great gun when it works! But I think the Oden in semi-auto outclasses it to a certain degree. The FAL is a hidden beast, but you've really gotta have the skill to use it, and I severely lack that. Oddly enough I can use the M14 just fine, so not sure what's going on there.
I definitely agree... When the game first came out I tried it and got slaughtered but I went back to it after I've gotten better but this is definitely the most rewarding gun to get a kill with imo... I like to run tuned up with stopping power
When I pick up a green or white FAL in warzone, I pair it with my load out with a FAL with VLK 3 sight light suppressor XRK barrel Merc forgrip and stippled. Basically negligible recoil for my long range gun and my ground loot one is good for close range fights or if I don’t take the time to reload and an enemy is hurt badly
This has been my main gun since launch, and it was awful to begin with, but I stuck with it and it's my favorite gun. I use it for long range, counter-sniping in Ground War. I run a 3x optic, the marksman barrel, the ranger foregrip, the tac-suppressor (just cause it looks better than the mono,, and at the ranges I'm at, three shots is always the standard), and sleight of hand. I love this thing, it's so satisfying to use.
Just started using this gun yesterday and it's absolutely amazing.
Ace's content is so frickin good man....SECOND TO NONE...thanks for the content my guy
When I use the FAL, I have it made with the OSW Para barrel, a G.I Mini reflex sight, 18" Aluminum stock, a flash guard and the Sleight of Hand perk.
And our stock attachment is the FSS Close Quarters Stock, which will improve our Aim Down Sight time, which will improve our Aim Down Sight time.
It's hilarious how the buff turned this gun into the best AR lol
So many attachment choices, just to chose one good one and use the rest to counter all the negatives of that attachment awesome
The buff the FAL needs is to make the max upper torso damage 55 so that an upper and lower shot will still 2-shot kill, like the Oden, to make it more consistent.
As it is now I feel like the Oden outguns it as a high damage, low rof weapon for high skill aggressive play, while the EBR is more consistent as a 2-shot marksman weapon. Though I could still see the argument the FAL fills a small niche between the two this way.
Love the FAL
I love the FAL in Hardcore after the old patch. If im using it in core modes, i put burst fire on, it feels goooood. 2-3 shot burst kill. feels like the old M16
Hey, just wanted to say I’m really enjoying this series, and I appreciate all the testing you do for this game. It’s really helpful for someone who’s just getting into MW like myself.
I’ve been wondering about Stopping Power, and what it actually does for the different weapon classes? Why does it enable one-shot kills on certain weapons but seems to have no effect on others? It would be awesome if you covered that in a future video. Thanks again for these videos, keep up the good work! :)
Hey Xclusive Ace! Luv ur vids!
Isnt the Time to kill wrong here? 500 rpm = 8,33 shots pr second, right? So 1 shot would be 120ms. And it takes at least 2 shots to make the kill, so wouldnt it be 240ms TTK ?
The first shot starts the timer
@@TheXclusiveAce thx for the response, I am honored!
Yesssss I’ve been waiting for the Fal video👌👌
If you’re using the marksman barrel, I would use a variable zoom scope as the optic since you’re turning it into a dmr.
Y'all should try my FAL setup. Been destroying with it. Ranger foregrip, stippled, gi reflex, no stock, sleight of hand. Plays well for being aggressive.
I'm going to try this out!!!!!! 🤯🤯🤯🤯
i use the first set up with a compesator instead of the bigger mag but i usally take scavenger since you have almost no ammo and most of the players use the m4 / mp5 so u cant pick up anything either
First video I'm seeing of yours but I gotta say I'll be coming back to see other gun videos cause you break it down perfectly covering everything. Thank you, cause there's so many other garbage channels out there
Burst????
Jeeze im late to the party just started playing this tame watched this video to help me out "the right arm of the free world" is now one of my favorite guns thanks man
I ve never clicked so fast in my life
_Laughs in PC_
@@justinfs I'm on my phone 😁😁
I typically play hardcore, and the setup i like on this is a lightweight barrel, Ranger grip, Stippled grip, burst perk, and thermal hybrid optic
“If you have a good trigger finger”
*laughs in macro*
pretty sure you'll get banned for that though
i believe the FAL is the sorta gun that somebody who is good with semi auto aka people who actually shoot guns because IRL semi is better and more accessible and because of that we get good with it and then the super crisp and light break we get on a mouse compared to a controller or real gun is better than all the triggers we have felt so naturally we are fast af boi
So far my favorite setup for this gun is, the ultra light barrel, VLK optic, No stock, MERC fire grip, and stippled tape. I personally feel recoil isn’t such a big deal since you can just space your shots for med/long range to maintain accuracy. At close range you can spray just fine and hit your target. :D
I think the question becomes "FAL or ODEN?" The FAL offers better handling characteristics, while the only clear advantage of the ODEN is the hipfire spread, which isn't tremendously relevant. In terms of comparing the TTK however, this is a bit murky. The FAL technically offers a faster TTK, but to accomplish this you do need a fast trigger finger. I think many people over-estimate just how fast they can actually click while also trying to accurately aim and I suspect that while anyone can click at 500 RPM or faster if they are just mashing left mouse, in a real game situation I can't help but feel that most players are managing less than 400 RPM while aiming. If this is the case, then the Oden's full auto TTK is actually faster.
The attachment that made this gun OP in my hands was the Burst perk. It is absolutely insane with the correct Burst setup.
the FAL is hands down the best gun for Hardcore. You can put a silencer on and it still one taps. If you build it right, it has virtually no recoil and it is hella accurate and one taps at range, two taps through walls.
It’s a high risk high reward weapon which combined with the fact it’s semi auto makes it a gun I’m not crazy about. The issue is that if it gets a buff those who really know how t use it can take advantage and it might be too strong. It’s a tough gun to balance but I Feel they should buff the recoil for sure. I think it’s the worst AR in the game but I only have an average trigger finger.
I really enjoyed it while I was playing with it to unlock gold!🔥
I enjoyed this gun when I started it recently. But by then end of the camos I wasn't sure if it was a bad rifle or bad Marksman.
The recent buff made this God tier 🤤
Hard core. All the attachment for ads time. My first nuke and my love.
Everybody. Go to the game settings and look for voice chat filter and take off stealth comm. Game chat sounds so much better without that effect, I’m not sure if it’s on automatically or if I turned it on at some point.. also classic hit marker sounds. :)
Personally I feel it needs to have just pure vertical recoil. I tend to go for Max accuracy with my guns and even with plenty of accuracy attachments it kicks a bit too much for farther away targets who even move a little bit. Compound that with hit detection issues it makes it a pain.
When I first got this game, I saw practically no one using the FAL. I was the odd person in HC shredding through people pre-patch. Now I've seen almost an entire team using the FAL. It's pretty common. People even use it as a sniper, which I guess it fulfills that for me as well. I used to use a red dot, but I found on maps like Piccadilly, I needed better vision, so now I use a hybrid acog/red dot and can see very well. For some reason I just found the M4 really weak, even in HC, though pretty much everyone used it in HC as well as core. Nowadays, HC has really good gun variety. I guess people realized any gun is viable in HC or the other guns are actually just as good in the right hands.
I enjoy this gun in HC on those longer maps as you can still get people close but also 1 shot the pesky snipers and wall bang people super quick
On pc you can bind the fire button to the mouse wheel, forwards and back. Shoots at max fire rate cap
What about the burst perk? Did you try it at all?
It makes the FAL the only weapon in the game that can potentially kill in one burst at any range. I ranked up the FAL just to give burst a try, and it was totally worth it. You won't always land enough shots on the first burst to kill a player on the other side of a large map. However, the FAL will consistently one burst at much longer ranges than than Famas (FR 5.56) and will melt people at medium to long range with one trigger pull, especially if you include recoil mitigating barrel/attachments.
Bro. Run the compensator, para barrel, vlk, 24rnd mag, merc grip.
It sounds dumb but holy cow. It no joke can do nearly anything. Ads is, good range, and ok recoil.
You can melt people with this combo.
The FAL is under rated AF imo.
I ran the FAL with vari sniper scope, bipod, no stock, slight of hand, and the ads laser and it was dominate
I bought this Controller add on to make it so I could jump and aim at the same time and have an easier sprint button. I’ve tried to stay away from the extra programs on it but the Full Auto function makes the FAL straight Cheeze Wiz my guy.
What the best setup for warzone, in mid-long ranges?
I’ve heard that 3 round burst is really good on the FAL
Blazed 3 round burst is really good but it uses your perk slot and sleight of hand is really good for the fal just because of how much you need to reload so I personally go sleight of hand and regular semi auto cause I have a pretty gold trigger finger but I’ve tried the burst and it’s also good but definitely harder to run and gun
It’s basically just the Famas. If you’re gonna run burst just go with that gun instead
The burst fal is just the famas but it shoots slower
When going up against full autos you'll notice its actually a lot slower than a trigger finger...unless you have stone fingers lol
Aryen Zamora Your girlfriend is lucky
If u like stack the 24 round mag and a red dot together...then does it matter?
Does it matter to ADS time? Or what
@@JOMFSE yea thats what im wondering
He made a video saying it does but he never went into detail on it. He just did like1 or 2 combos. I always assume stacking 2 attachments (no frames) = 1-3 frames
How do you customize the barrel and grip on the FAL? is that something console only? on PC those slots don't seem to be available.
In the old Call of Duty you used to be able to make the FAL automatic after a certain level...deadly!
This gun is so underrated. It performs like the G3 used to back in the day for MW.
I think it's a huge disservice to this gun that you didn't talk about the burst perk. It makes it even faster to kill with the second fastest ttk AR behind the FR but the FAL doesnt drop off in range like the FR does. With its consistent two shot kill, the burst perk makes it a once burst kill at all times if you can control the recoil enough to hit every shot.
I use it in Hardcore and it's a beast..also I put that burst fire on it also and love it too
10:18 Somebody recognized you there Ace :)
I wish you would show the original ADS times on screen when you talk about how each of the attachments impacts ADS, I tend to forget what the original time was when we finally get to the barrels
Will it reduce our aim down sight time though?
Would you consider the same setups for HC as well? Since you kill with one shot on any range you could replace the barrel in the first setup, right?
8:10 why do you have 20 bullets in the clip instead of 25? what attachment did you put on instead of the ammunition?
the fal always has 20 rounds if you don't use extended mags
oh wait actually it looks like he wasn't using the 24 rounds in that clip
I'm bad at bolt actions, so is it viable to use this as a sniper rifle instead? What should be my attachments?
Is there any point in using the XRK marksman barrel in Hardcore?
This gun excels a lot with a few key attachments. I'm currently working on getting gold on this gun and after the no attachments skins, I can finally use this gun to it's full potential. The default iron sight is quite bad imo, so you definitely need a scope unless you're playing an aggressive playstyle and can get away with it.
Would you recommend using the burst attachment for this gun?
