Marksman Gloves are, generally, effective enough to reduce flinch. Since gloves aren't the best, it's actually best to just use them in the one instance they make sense. Frees up an attachment slot to get a bit more out of this gun. Not that it needs too much help since it's really good. I use the extra slot to buff sprint to fire time or ADS.
This is my “go to gun” when I’m in need. Every call of duty I have a safe gun I feel most comfortable with if I’m having a bad game I’ll pull it out and hope I can turn things around. This is it. This was the first gun I really used in this game, it’s done me good ever since. Solid piece of equipment! 9/10 for me.
Tip for Marksman Rifles: Don't be shy in equipping zoom optics (even high zoom ones) when playing on medium/large maps. Using reflex/iron sights limits a lot this category of guns potential.
The Chrios Holo is the best magnified optic without scope glint. There doesn't seem to be anything else like it for MW3, and MW2 optics just suck in this game
@Chuckvsfrank1232 I personally don't use high zoom optics but I've seen a lot of other players have success doing it. Highest I usually go on DMRs is a VLK 4x or Schlager 3.4x. Even the Corio Eagle 2.5x gives you a good advantage over people running reflex or irons.
It isn't just the KVD. The whole Marksman class of rifles is good in this game. This is the first COD where I'm not an AR primary. Battle Rifles and Marksman Rifles are the way to go.
You are the reason this game sucks. Noobs like you use the 1-2 shot kill guns because they are easy kills. Nobody wants to use full auto because it takes more accuracy. Everybody spams rifles in this game to the point there’s little to no variety. F this game
@@McNutEVD I still can't even get into a gw match. I mean literally will not find one for me. I have fibre internet, fastest internet I have ever had, and in this game only, the worst connections I have ever had in cod. I can leave the search open on ground war for 20 minutes, still won't find one. Cross play on or off doesn't change it. This shit is ridiculous lol Get rid of this god damned algorithm already
Fun fact, this is the very first time Ace has started a gun guide video where the first kill he gets in the gameplay is NOT with the gun the episode is about
I love the marksman rifle category in this game, especially the MTZ Interceptor in Multiplayer. That gun may not be the best, but is also flying under the radar.
Did yall see the scopes r like really weird on this gun? Like the top of the scope is blacked out and the reticle isn’t at the very middle of the scope?
I've been levelling the KD in Invasion (the game mode) and absolutely love it. In fact, I'm generally impressed with the Marksmen rifles in MW3. If I had better aim I don't know if I'd use much else, especially on maps like Wasteland and Estate. They've done nicely with marksmen and assault rifles. I'll try out your builds soon. Thank you brother Ace!
This was a fun gun to do the camos for. 1 tap to the head is very powerful in the slower TTK cods. All the MR's are quite good except the mcw 6.8, which doesn't have much going for it.
As a PC player I don’t even have to build for idle sway since holding breath on PC is significantly easier than on console. So I can just kit this thing out for speed ignoring recoil, and keeping idle sway neutral relatively (still can’t let it get too bad)
Outclassed by the Interceptor IMO. The slightly faster ttk and firerate isnt worth the worse headshot kill range and the possibility of needing a 3 shot kill
With the 3rd build, I don’t find it worth having a ADS time that’s faster than your sprint out time because coming out of a sprint causes your ADS time to be whichever value is the highest
it depends on how you play. You can adjust to not sprinting as much, especially if you're playing more defensive/focusing on map control and so aren't sprinting around really. You can even have another trustworthy weapon like dual pistols for if you get caught running (at least at close range) Even if you are running around, you can sometimes predict where enemies will be and when they might be rounding corners, so you can stop sprinting early. It's risky, but it can pay off As to "why not just be adsed then and not worry about improving ads speed", being less zoomed out gives you way more awareness and movement, and you'll also be able to adjust more to surprises
I haven't used it in Multiplayer yet, but in Zombies I was loving that it had zero recoil and it was amazing for headshots, been grinding to get that Zombie Operator and Camos so only have played maybe 20 hours of Multiplayer but when I do hop back over to Multiplayer I'm definitely going to use it I don't always use Marksman Rifles because I can't press the trigger very fast but with the rate of fire on this gun it really doesn't matter that much
I'm kinda excited to use this gun... in Warzone. I didn't buy MWIII so I rank up all the guns through Warzone. Too bad it hasn't been in ground loot since Season 1 dropped.
With the right attachments I think I stretched the 1 shot kill range out to like 60 or 70 meters. Can’t wait to see the mtz marksmen rifle I got that up to 108m 1 shot kill and I haven’t found a line of site beyond that yet 😂
Always excellent video, on point. Nice setups. I'll have some fun with them just now. And, what is that beautiful camo you have on KVD Enforcer Stealth V1? 🥰
Real talk: I know that MW2 guns have fallen by the wayside in terms of usefulness in the current sandbox, bit will you be doing some kind of round-up of all the MW2 guns that you still find competitive or fun to use?
Don't know what it is about this gun but it'll give me hitmarkers even to the upper torso. I'll consistently find myself double-hitmarkering which is an issue I never have with MTZ Interceptor
I dont often disagree with your guides, Ace but I have to say, to me there feels like theres a lot of recoil and "weight" to this gun and for me, it kicks like a mule, same thing with the KV inhibitor. I play with Gyro so it could just ne my motion sensor bugging out between shots? 😅
I wish Ace would bring back the actual irl name of the gun rather than the fictional gun company names. You'd be surprised to how few weapons in this game aren't actually fictional.
Could you do a video on how effective barrels are in multiplayer and if they’re worth using at all? How many shots does it take before and after. Idk I feel like there’s no noticeable difference unless you play warzone
@@MrKing-he3eo yeah I get that, I’m just wondering if the 20% damage range and 12% velocity give any major benefit in multiplayer maps or if it doesn’t really help much till you play warzone since the gunfight ranges are a lot longer.
Ace can you look into throwable hit players and causing screen distortion and stun like a effect I was hit by a grenade that hadn't exploded and was basically stunned with massive screen distortion maybe I was stunned from another source but I'm don't think so could you do some testing thanks
I’m not sure if it’s still like this but when I used it to grind the camos on it the sights were always misaligned as is he was looking though the scope slightly lower than he should so the sight lines up with the person but it wasn’t perfectly in the middle of my screen
Hiw do you get the mk3 optic on this gun I have all guns maxed out and un locked and there ate many guns I don't have attachments for they just are not innthe lost at all. I have literally sent through one by one so many times and they just are not there for spacific guns and attachments
Hey Ace, I love your videos, but one thing that’s always driven me nuts is when you say “maximum damage range”. To my ears and with my training that usually means the farthest point, not the closest in marksmanship. An example being; the real life M-16 has a maximum effective range of 550 meters or 500 meters for the M4 on a point target. HOWEVER, I do understand you mean ‘maximum damage is inflicted at said/this range.’ Like I said this is mostly on me but I know others (especially veterans and avid and above shooters) must think the same way.
Nope, just way too slow. It's like trying to rapid fire a sniper rifle. I tried it for a few matches but finally had to get it out of my loadouts because it was driving me insane.

they feel horribly unwieldy but has great on paper stats. the moment you get shot that flinch destroys your aim so its pretty meh at 1 v 1s

Nah, the MCW6.8 sucks.
@@rockmycd1319 i still prefer it over most ARs, SMGs, and LMGs
The recoil on this gun is more nonexistent than my chances of breaking more than a 1.5 KD ratio in a single match in this game.
Tbh, if you use this gun, you'd be able to reach it.
skill issue

Love the Enforcer. I have like a 60% headshot rate with it. Just 1 tapping to the head is so satisfying.
KVD Enforcer is based on SVK a Russian DMR (Marksman Rifle) was made by the Kalashnikov arms manufacturer founded by Mikhail Kalashnikov

Always a great vid! I'd love to see a note/comment on how you would adjust the build for HC, not just for this gun but all gun vids 👍🏻
this is actually a great idea
I need to try out that accuracy build in WZ
A lot of gun that seems heavy in recoil isnt bad if you miss shots. Its the aiming stability that is the hidden stat making you miss shotd.
Hey Exclusive Ace!
Great work as always, I have to say that I do miss the actual gun manufacturers names and models that you used to include tho.
I confidently challenge snipers at 200m ranges with this gun while using the Mk.3 Optic. It's by far my favorite MWIII primary, hands down.
I found this and the interceptor are nice when you build them for strafe speed
Tell me the interceptor build please?👂🏾
I loved this thing since day 1
Thank you for putting this up.
4:00 a good option for the underbarrel is the Agent Grip, it gives a huge amount of accuracy
Thanks bro now iv got amazing guns to use on mw3 nice one 👍👍
I used it for The Boys Camo challenge and I stuck with it until I got it Gilded. It’s actually lethal in the right hands.
Aiming stability for rear grip and stock. Vertical underbarrel and laser for hip fire if u do wanna run around a bit
With the right attachments I think I stretched the 1 shot kill range out to like 60 or 70 meters. Can’t wait to see the mtz marksmen rifle I got that up to 108m 1 shot kill and I haven’t found a line of site beyond that yet 😂
Always excellent video, on point. Nice setups. I'll have some fun with them just now. And, what is that beautiful camo you have on KVD Enforcer Stealth V1? 🥰
My favourite gun in the game combined with the core 45 pistol best combo in this game.

just play MWII bro
Great gun, but totally outclassed by the dm56 and mtz

Don't know what it is about this gun but it'll give me hitmarkers even to the upper torso. I'll consistently find myself double-hitmarkering which is an issue I never have with MTZ Interceptor
This gun is so underrated
Ads build is lowkey meta. This thing can get so snappy
The enforcer is my second favorite gun, right behind the inhibitor
FYI: Named the last build set up wrong, put tac stance. (Chapter thingy on yt).

Beast gun. Marksman rifles are the way to go. Got reported yesterday for using this 🤣
I like this weapon. Also looks cool.
I hope they release a sniper rifle version of this gun! since the iron sight is the same the Ballista used in BO2
The inhibitor is the sniper version of this gun
Bruh there’s the Inhibitor
Xrk stalker is pretty similar to Ballista !! So fucked off can’t use iron sights though
Best marksman rifle
what about aiming while moving? i made a class that has 272 ads speed, same idle sway, but also less sway while moving
Agent is far better than Sharkfin in this case. It only hurts ADS movement speed and provides a decent bit more aim stability.
