You’re SLEEPING on the BEST GUN IN MWIII! (MTZ INTERCEPTOR) is 1 shot head shot anywhere and 2 shot anywhere! Test it out I have the class set up for it and dropped a lot of Nuke with this gun
I love the little details Ace puts into his videos like at 9:31 when he switches to the Bas-B in the gameplay right when he mentions it's his #1 gun. Or when he mentions headshots being good for a gun, then getting a headshot in the gameplay. It doesn't go unnoticed, Ace!
If anyone is still working on certain armory unlocks, the infection (infectious holiday) playlist is great for that. Match time is relatively short and you get a win for every game. Might also be an easy XP experience for some. Much faster games than Ship. You can also work on late attachment unlocks for guns you're still working on. Tip: snowballs have a small blast radius. They don't do full damage but comes in handy occasionally.
Infection was done best by Halo it’s not that good on Call of Duty because of throwing knives which they started in 2011 after Halo fell off. Interesting they steal a playlist from another game and can’t make a 1-1 copy besides map editing is not a thing.
My favorite gun, which I haven't seen a single soul talk about, in the DM56. It doesn't handle like any of the other Marksman Rifles in MWII or III. It's an extremely consistent 2 shot kill, but it has the ADS speed and handling of an AR. It reminds me most of the semi-auto ARs from WWII and Vanguard. It's just a snappy, quick, and extremely consistent weapon in almost all situations.
DM56 made me fall in love with marksmen rifles. I wonder if it would have made Aces list if he was designing the list as an overall and not overall for normal/average/casual players. Making a list with the majority in mind is a nice move. Thanks, Ace
Really? Cor is good yes once you unlocked that faster trigger. But renetti? I absolutely loved that thing in previous games. But here i really hate it, so damn weak. Unless they buffed it or im doing something wrong that thing shoots snowballs at close range
i dont know what it is but the burst renetti has been nothing but terrible for me. i hate that thing. but i get killed so hard by it... in my hands its a pee shooter. i dont know why
@@FlowKomit’s a menace when akimbo’d. In normal mode tho you basically have to hit upper chest/neck/head for a 4 bullet kill. Slap the trigger that increases rate of fire and the laser that increases aim stability along with high grain rounds.
Interesting to see others having a hard time with the Renetti. I absolutely blew a few lobbies away with that thing while I was leveling it up even without any attachments
It's like I always say, "why do the work when Ace does it for you." Lol, in all seriousness, thank you so much for the work you do for us. Even if it is just a game, you still provide so much joy.
The KVD enforcer is always my go to weapon in mw3. It's a monster if you can handle the pacing of the rifle. You basically 1 tap ppl in the head from basically all ranges. Don't sleep on the marksman rifles fellas 🔥
Marksman rifles were my favourite part of the camo grind, i did better with them than any other gun, my kd went from 1.05 to 1.1 while doing the marksman rifles, all of them were great!
WSP Swarm easily top 5 imo. And I would put the SVA 545 up there too. Good ttk and mobility, and the burst ability makes it surprisingly good at range.
After playing around with most of the new weapons and some from MW2, I have landed on the MTZ Interceptor. It requires precision, but I can win almost every gunfight I get in at any range, CQB being the biggest issue. The one shot headshot capabilities at most ranges is amazing. I see no reason to use any other weapon in the game as of right now for MP.
Great video Ace. Unfortunately in my S&D lobbies, people use the following three things -- the new Sniper, the knife, and MCW. Then there's the occasional Rival-9.
Truegamedata has all the mw2 (and 3) weapons with their damage and ranges up on his site. Not sure how well he will keep up with it over the year, but it’s accurate up until the warzone launch. Ace covered the changes made to the mw2 weapons since (like the m4 buff).
The BAS-B needs a slight nerf imo. More fine tuning than a nerf even. You just can’t win a gunfight against it. Maybe more damage profiles or requiring a headshot but it’s just SLIGHTLY to strong atm. But I do agree with the point that the weaker guns could use buffs over the better guns getting nerfed. The P890 needs a ammo buff and I think a lot of the MWII weapons could have their recoil/visual recoil adjusted
@bradenmchenry995 give evidence for your claim. As is, it shoots about the same as the MCW, but kills in 1 less bullet. It outgunned SMGs at close range and handles like a normal AR. This is objectively busted, regardless of your desire to roleplay rhe new army rifle
The BAS-B is fine. The problem is the MTZ762 and the LMGs are too weak. The sect of players who only use SMGs and ARs are too used to getting their way with every game.
Maybe it would be worth doing a Top 10 Worst Guns, for extra visibility and a case/evidence to be made for anyone watching from SHG? Obvious candidates that come immediately to mind are the FR 5.56, Striker 9 and AMR9.
The Swarm should be the golden child for SMG with the 100 round drum while built the right way feels like u can do no wrong and can drop doubles, trips and quads if you know how to use it.. All it needs is better recoil and its game over
Seeing the M13B made me jump for joy. I used it almost religiously since 2019 and have it nailed down to a science. Billeted brake muzzle Phase 3 grip VLK laser Flash tape And then flash stock for speed and factory for longer engagements. Personally I use flash more.
I thought the MTZ was trash in the Beta. but tried it out again and it’s my fav gun in the game now once you get good attachments that can control the recoil for it the gun shreds.
Since the Holger 26 has the 37 damage sweetspot, does that mean that incendiary rounds is capable of bringing it down to 4 shots to kill with 1-2 ticks of tire damage before the last shot?
I'm kinda sad people have found it so good in Warzone. It was completely slept on in multiplayer before Warzone launched and I was one of very few I saw run it in normal lobbies. Now I am seeing it quite a bit more. I'm like the secret is getting out lol.
This is the first COD I've done a proper camo grind for and now I finally got interstellar, I can safely say I've had the full experience of all the guns in the game, and you're right - the difference between the good ones and the terrible ones is extreme, some of them are just unusable and were an absolute slog to level up / complete the camo's for. I'm glad you put the Holger 26 on your list, built correctly it's one of the most satisfying guns for me atm, mobility of an AR (almost) with the punch of an LMG - great fun.
I think the WSP-9 w/ the Broodmother conversion kit is really good if you kit it with recoil mitigation in mind and play a little more like it's an assault rifle than an SMG. The open bolt delay definitely makes the gun feel odd at first, but use it enough and you'll get around it.
Could we see a video about ADS speed? On top of the stocks, barrels, grip, and lasers that deal with ADS, we have scopes and underbarrels that can improve ads. I wonder how fast you can make an smg, ar, or an lmg ads.
it'd be interesting to see how you build other mw2 guns. a lot of people just like to use certain guns like the mp5 or rpk for example, whether they're good or not
The longbow is very easy to use if you build it like a marksman’s rifle. It has a surprisingly good one-shot potential for how fast it fires and how large the base mag is. Even if you’re mostly two-shotting with it it’s still a very good gun. The Polemyot is good if you’re a slower otherwise the limited mobility and handling absolutely kills the gun. The WSP Swarm is a very fast and reliable smg for close range gunfights and if you use the akimbo stock brace it’s pretty fun too. The DM marksman’s rifle may not be a competitive gun but it’s one of my favorites and is pretty balanced at all ranges, if you can hit headshots of course it’s a very good weapon.
2:42 i knew something felt off about that. The other day on reddit i was telling someone that the dg-58 was an AR and the dg-58 lsw was the LMG but they told me the assault rife was the dg-56
Top 5 Guns 1. Snipers (Stalker the Best) 2. MTZ Interceptor 3. MCW 4. TAQ Eradicator 5. SVA Any COD with a high TTK makes Sniping broken. I would like to see them nerf the mobility of snipers more, and add a round timer to them of like 7.5 seconds… the spawn sniping in SnD is super annoying on High Rise, Invasion, and Scrapyard
They really need to overwork the mw2 guns. I get that the new guns are a selling point and all that but I would prefer a healthy mix where every gun is at least viable with certain trade offs to make them feel nice. For example it makes no sense that the kastov 762 kicks me on the other side of the map and has decent damage at most while most mw3 guns do more damage while handling better.
Lachmann762 also got ruined. I just want to use a g3 dude but they made the thing a 4 shot in semi auto without buffing anything about it. The damn cor45 pistol is way better
Thank you for your service! Your vids are so helpful for us MP players who seem to be forgotten about by most content creators, it’s all warzone these days which I’m not a big fan of. I’m an old COD dad with a young fam so don’t get to play too much these days so your vids like this mean I can jump on without wasting too much time trying to figure out what’s good and what’s not and just play, mainly ground war 👌
I would like to see a vid comparing the base COR45 and the COR45 with its conversion kit. Right now I’m using it with the kit on my sniper class and it’s really good. Great video as always!
I need some Marksman Rifle R representation. I feel like I keep going back to them anytime SBMM starts to kick in. Headshots are king with the average slow TTK.
Completely agree with buffing weaker guns to better match the top tier guns because of this slower TTK, instead of nerfing the top tier guns down. Best solution.
M13B, and Bas B have been solid for me. Rival 9 is decent but inconsistent at times. I feel like they forgot they were supposed to balance the rest of the SMGs 😅
I think the BAS-B in particular needs a nerf. Is has a faster TTK and further damage range than almost every SMG and AR in the game. There's no way you can buff all the other guns just to compensate for that.
KVD enforcer if you have a good sight on it. 10 rounds (I use a 15 mag) and it’s a consistent 2 tap at all ranges and a 1 shot headshot most of the time
Any news on camo challenges still not tracking? Bas-B, Interceptor, some others. I did borealis first, but now kinda feel like quitting because i cant even finish the MP grind.
1. BAS-B (needs a recoil nerf and its secondary damage range nerfed to all 4 torso shots for a kill ) 2. Holger556 3. MCW (needs a headshot damage nerf imo) 4. DG-58 5. MTZ 556 6. WSP-swarm 7. Rival-9 and just as you said. make buffs not nerfs . the SVA-545 is so incredibly underperfoming if you dont hit the power burst. it desperately needs a headshot damage increase to reduce the shots it takes to kill at all ranges. i feel like i can give 3 headshot and one body shot hitmarker and still needing that 5th to the body to get a kill. while the MCW just needs one to get a 4-shot
At the start you mention there not being a sniper on the list due to reasons. Then add the COR-45 when you need a fast trigger finger to use? Seems like you could have given a nod to the best as this is your personal list only.
@@TheXclusiveAcelist is list, I know what your intention was but I still think a sniper mention would have been good. Not trying to be rude or troll but looking for guidance etc. used to watch all your old content from years back and looked you up when I came back after years so was hoping for a wee push in the right direction!
Ace can you do a video breaking down some attatchents from mw2 to mw3 ,a lot of them cant really compete ( like for example some for of aiming stability is missing on grips and stocks ) and even some attatchmets are missing like 60 rnd mag for m13c or second barrel for minibak , its just really backwards to me why the guns are performing worse than in mw2 , a huge thank you if you can see this ❤️
The effort you put into your videos is insane!! I feel like just watching your channel alone is enough to cover everything I need to know about COD! Thank you for being you and producing high quality content with no gimmicks, I love how you updated the attachment combnatnions for every gun on this video rather than just copy and paste from your gun guide but I noticed that your using a suppressor in your MCW build 8:00 but you're showing the T51R muzzle in the screnshot
The COR-45 is probably one of my favorite pistols in recent memory. I picked one up in zombies on a no weapon drop and immediately loved how little recoil it has. Built one out for Zombies and TDM.
Favourite segment as always ! Really curious what’s better between stalker vs Katt. Akimbo renetti vs Tyr. Is the 680 as good as the old Bryson from mw2.
Ace- I'm struggling with getting some camos to register- at the halfway mark of all guns- the 2 SMG's that you need to ADS, then hipfire, this should be easy- but no matter how long I ADS, the ensuing hipfire or not registering- after an hour or two of trying this, I have zero registers - can you do a tutorial on chrome Camo or whatever platinum is now called, LMG's and SMG's should be done for me but I feel it's a glitch. I have all my assaults and snipers and pistols done but am struggling for others- Activision should either allow practice on camo descriptions or show exactly how to perform. Thanks in advance brother
Just another top level video Ace. I agree with your thought process on buffing the weaker weapons opposed to nerfing the better ones. Sadly, I'm not going to hold out much hope the dev's feel the same. With the quality of vids you pump out Ace, it won't be long before you crack the 1M subs milestone.
Realize how weak Shotguns are when, This maps were made for a game where Shotgun secondaries still had longer ranges than the ones in the game now. They aren't even mentioned in this video, but Snipers are. Very few mentions of Shotguns in the comments of this video, with most of those being people knowing Shotguns are weak. I'm going to say something most people don't want to hear, If parts of the community aren't screeching about Shotguns being OP, then are weak & basically useless. People will literally complain about anything over than the guns they uses kills them. That's the only way you know Shotguns are actually competitive. It isn't just that no one's complaining, no one seems to even realize just how weak they are now. SMGs were underpowered for a minute after the game released, because of how strong they were in the Beta, & look what happened to them.
The mtz-556 feels weird to me. It should perform well but it feels like even in semi auto my rounds just decide to curve away from point of aim. Same thing with the mtz-762 but the aftermarket kit fixes that strangely
I wish they'd fix the camo tracking for the stormender. I don't feel like doing the snipers, so I did everything else, and the stormender priceless is all I'm missing for interstellar, but it doesn't track affecting operators
My MWII gun pick is weird (and cheesey lol) it's the ......LOCKWOOD 300 + Maelstrom Dual Triggers + 12 Gauge Slug +3.4 Shlager. Pretty "cheese" BUT SO MUCH FUN! Honestly, my favorite "gun" from the MWIII is the Stormender Launcher. I think this is b/c I mainly play SMG/AR and I play objectives/shoot down streaks etc....and yeah the Stormender is just so much more than a simple Launcher. It's just refreshing to have a Launcher that can be used for more than 1-2 things. You could argue that it can't kill anyone which is true but at the same time I've used it as a last ditch effort (Notice a Sniper before he notices me and I dont have the range, need to reload, etc) and it's helped me get melee kills or finish reloading my gun etc....WHICH IS ALL RNG, but it's better than nothing.
I was very sad about the DG nerf, but it was deserved. Even with the nerf though, I still only run the DG with a sniper switch (ground war player here). With a 20 round mag on it, it is so dam fast with ADS speed, sprint to fire, and a movement speed buff; not to mention the reload speed is like less than a second. I am a burst guy in these games, and I'm so happy they finally made a comeback in this game. The DG is where it's at even post nerf. Try it with these attatchments - Shadowstrike suppressor, 20 round mag, LS18 barrel, Harken OP grip, FTAC SP-10 underbarrel
Does anybody know if the X12 kills faster than the Cor 45? From what I can tell, the X12 is a 3 shot to the upper torso, whereas you can only get a 4 shot with the Cor and their fires rates aren't disimilar
Its hard to say what my main weapons are since im still chasing interstellar, but after getting my ARs forged ive been feeling like my top two are the holger AR for mid-long range and the mtz AR for short-mid range. Although I did recently run one of the marksman rifles in a really fun strafing build on ship/meat 24/7 with some really good results so i might be playing with them more for the first time ....also i will absolutely have a dedicated cor-45 class. Seriously, even in my first ten matches I was HOPING someone would challenge me while i reloaded just so i could pull out my secondary 😂
You nailed it. Maybe Taq-Eradicator, but otherwise, nailed it. I'm also glad you chose the M4 from MW2. In that game, it was my go-to assault. Recoil was minimal enough to go head to head as with the Taq-56 if you just pull down a wee bit on that joystick, but with the correct attachments and tuning (which I miss) the ADS was simply astounding on an assault rifle. Rival 9 is great at short distance, but the recoil makes it difficult for the further edge of its range. Rival 9 or Striker? Depends on the map, really.
I love the Bas so much and I've never liked battle rifles. Getting to drop the stupid field upgrade to carry a second primary is amazing too, Bas + Lockwood 680 is such a fun build to run
MCW, MCW 6.8 full auto conversion, DM56, Holger 556, DG56, WSP-9 with conversion kit, WSP Swarm akimbo, Striker 9, XRK Stalker, Renetti Akimbo, Cor45 both the base with the lightning trigger and the version with the conversion kit, and the karambit. Best of the best for me being the MCW for best all around weapon, WSP-9 conversion for midrange, WSP Swarm akimbo for short range. COR45 for best all around secondary, Renetti for best short range secondary, XRK stalker best sniper, MCW 6.8 for best consistent long range, and knife for best weapon in the game (only slightly sarcastic)
any idea why the bullet penetration is so fucked in the game? Even with AP rounds it halves the damage going through many of the walls. Also MGs penetrate walls much worse than ARs do by default, and even with AP rounds on both they're worse.
Hey Ace was just wondering if you were gonna report on how the Last Weekly Reward n Current weekly reward don't work Also Engineer Vest still doesn't work There's also attachments still locked with no explanation on how to get them
My top 10 in no particular order accept the last 3(my favourites) are. Cor 45, Wsp swarm, Rival 9, mtz 556, Holger 26, interceptor, bas b, Dg 56, Dm56 and the, taq eradicator.
With the list having the possibility of becoming non-accurate in the future you could consider making a top 10 list for guns per season (or every other season) to make sure the players will always be up to date.
The MTZ Intercepter marksman rifle is definitely top 2. You can build it as mid to long range rifle or more of a rush build and it's still solid. 2 shots to the body or 1 to the head. Also give the Vel 46 from mw2 a look in this game, been running around wrecking with it in War.
I kind of like the Taq Eradicator for an LMG. It has the interesting firing pattern. With very fast 3-4 bullets and then slowing down. If you catch them with the first bullets they drop super fast. It's downside is the keeping up momentum so best to burst the fast rounds out then pause. But it is situational.

"Ace the 1st Auter of UA-cam"! I agree your Editing is always on point!
I was thinking about how he must go through his gameplays and pick out the highlights but it does deeper than I thought
The TAQ Eradicator is the best LMG in my opinion and can be configured (with a 45rd mag) to act like a very compact and lethal Battle Rifle as well.
Like an extra Thicc AN-94
Absolutely! Especially playing with a mouse, the accuracy pays off with those quicker first couple of shots.
@@ChromefallI think it’s meant to be a Scar LMG, bhai
TAQ is junk imo. Try setting up the Bruen like an AR and you wont look back. I will map you while i run around with like its a very fast ADS AR.

I second this, it's my preferred DMR by a mile.
This is the comment I was looking for; Underrated gun.
I did the camo grind for it yesterday, it is most definitely not a two shot, not even to the head.
I think the COR and Renetti are perhaps the best launch pistols I’ve seen. I had gold pistols well before any other guns.
Really? Cor is good yes once you unlocked that faster trigger. But renetti? I absolutely loved that thing in previous games. But here i really hate it, so damn weak. Unless they buffed it or im doing something wrong that thing shoots snowballs at close range

Ace, do you think you'll do gun guides for the mw2 guns in this game? Or are the old guides still accurate, just having to accommodate for 150hp?
No, I won't be doing that but I may at least try to dive deep into some of the better MW2 guns over time
@@TheXclusiveAcethats fair, thanks for the response and for all the guides you have made

This is the first COD I've done a proper camo grind for and now I finally got interstellar, I can safely say I've had the full experience of all the guns in the game, and you're right - the difference between the good ones and the terrible ones is extreme, some of them are just unusable and were an absolute slog to level up / complete the camo's for. I'm glad you put the Holger 26 on your list, built correctly it's one of the most satisfying guns for me atm, mobility of an AR (almost) with the punch of an LMG - great fun.
The wsp swarm is probably my favorite gun. The reload speed gets me killed a lot though
I think the WSP-9 w/ the Broodmother conversion kit is really good if you kit it with recoil mitigation in mind and play a little more like it's an assault rifle than an SMG. The open bolt delay definitely makes the gun feel odd at first, but use it enough and you'll get around it.
I put a 2.5 scope on it and it does just as good as the ram or the mcw
Could we see a video about ADS speed? On top of the stocks, barrels, grip, and lasers that deal with ADS, we have scopes and underbarrels that can improve ads. I wonder how fast you can make an smg, ar, or an lmg ads.
it'd be interesting to see how you build other mw2 guns. a lot of people just like to use certain guns like the mp5 or rpk for example, whether they're good or not
The longbow is very easy to use if you build it like a marksman’s rifle. It has a surprisingly good one-shot potential for how fast it fires and how large the base mag is. Even if you’re mostly two-shotting with it it’s still a very good gun.
The Polemyot is good if you’re a slower otherwise the limited mobility and handling absolutely kills the gun.
The WSP Swarm is a very fast and reliable smg for close range gunfights and if you use the akimbo stock brace it’s pretty fun too.
The DM marksman’s rifle may not be a competitive gun but it’s one of my favorites and is pretty balanced at all ranges, if you can hit headshots of course it’s a very good weapon.
Wsp swarm with 100 round mag muzzle grip and long barrel beats everything
2:42 i knew something felt off about that. The other day on reddit i was telling someone that the dg-58 was an AR and the dg-58 lsw was the LMG but they told me the assault rife was the dg-56
Going back to mw2 guns , I've found that the RPK and kastov 762 are very competitive also , if you set them up right
The m4 and mp7 slap too. Vaznev is still good
@@marcelluscunningham8272I think people are sleeping on the MWII guns a bit too much because of that one video Ace made.
@@brawler5760 some are rough. The taq56 is kinda bad now and the fennec reload will kill you Everytime. But for the most part they're usable
In terms of sniper, the xrk stalker is the best for quick scoping. I find the longbow and inhibitor do a lot of hit markers.
Top 5 Guns
1. Snipers (Stalker the Best)
2. MTZ Interceptor
3. MCW
4. TAQ Eradicator
5. SVA
Any COD with a high TTK makes Sniping broken. I would like to see them nerf the mobility of snipers more, and add a round timer to them of like 7.5 seconds… the spawn sniping in SnD is super annoying on High Rise, Invasion, and Scrapyard
They really need to overwork the mw2 guns. I get that the new guns are a selling point and all that but I would prefer a healthy mix where every gun is at least viable with certain trade offs to make them feel nice. For example it makes no sense that the kastov 762 kicks me on the other side of the map and has decent damage at most while most mw3 guns do more damage while handling better.
Agreed, because most MW2 are just bad, there aren't even enough MW3 guns to make up for that
Lachmann762 also got ruined. I just want to use a g3 dude but they made the thing a 4 shot in semi auto without buffing anything about it. The damn cor45 pistol is way better
Thank you for your service!
Your vids are so helpful for us MP players who seem to be forgotten about by most content creators, it’s all warzone these days which I’m not a big fan of. I’m an old COD dad with a young fam so don’t get to play too much these days so your vids like this mean I can jump on without wasting too much time trying to figure out what’s good and what’s not and just play, mainly ground war 👌
I would like to see a vid comparing the base COR45 and the COR45 with its conversion kit. Right now I’m using it with the kit on my sniper class and it’s really good. Great video as always!
It's bugged for me it shoots a bullet when I press trigger and another when I let trigger go
Thats how its supposed to work@@Liam-mw3de
@@Liam-mw3dethats what the conversion kit does
I'm sure he'll get to it eventually
@@Liam-mw3de… that’s exactly what it does. It’s a binary trigger mechanism, it’s weird, but it’s working as intended
I need some Marksman Rifle R
representation. I feel like I keep going back to them anytime SBMM starts to kick in. Headshots are king with the average slow TTK.
You are the man Ace! Where would the community be without you!
Completely agree with buffing weaker guns to better match the top tier guns because of this slower TTK, instead of nerfing the top tier guns down. Best solution.
What is the main difference between “Battle Rifles & ARs”? Is it just a different category for the sake of it ..
M13B, and Bas B have been solid for me. Rival 9 is decent but inconsistent at times. I feel like they forgot they were supposed to balance the rest of the SMGs 😅
I think the BAS-B in particular needs a nerf. Is has a faster TTK and further damage range than almost every SMG and AR in the game. There's no way you can buff all the other guns just to compensate for that.
KVD enforcer if you have a good sight on it. 10 rounds (I use a 15 mag) and it’s a consistent 2 tap at all ranges and a 1 shot headshot most of the time
That description is more of the mtz interceptor. Kvd seems more of a 3 shot
Any news on camo challenges still not tracking? Bas-B, Interceptor, some others.
I did borealis first, but now kinda feel like quitting because i cant even finish the MP grind.
I normally hate it when a single gun is so good it feels overpowered, but even after the nerfs the Bas B just looks and sounds and feels good to use
It only got nerfed in Warzone unfortunately
You should make a top 10 WORST guns list just for fun.
The Glock 21 with the binary trigger is absolutely nuts
1. BAS-B (needs a recoil nerf and its secondary damage range nerfed to all 4 torso shots for a kill )
2. Holger556
3. MCW (needs a headshot damage nerf imo)
4. DG-58
5. MTZ 556
6. WSP-swarm
7. Rival-9
and just as you said. make buffs not nerfs . the SVA-545 is so incredibly underperfoming if you dont hit the power burst. it desperately needs a headshot damage increase to reduce the shots it takes to kill at all ranges. i feel like i can give 3 headshot and one body shot hitmarker and still needing that 5th to the body to get a kill. while the MCW just needs one to get a 4-shot
I think the BAS-B and Holger 556 could catch a nerf but the Holger only needs a small one. Less range, especially for the short barrels.
The m16 is also really good in this game. Same damage as the dg56 but much better burst delay, leading to faster ttk
We need this video for attachments as well
The RAM 7 and WSP Sparm are amazing and crazy that they weren’t on here
Ram is the best with the correct attachments imo
At the start you mention there not being a sniper on the list due to reasons. Then add the COR-45 when you need a fast trigger finger to use? Seems like you could have given a nod to the best as this is your personal list only.
The Cor-45 was an honorable mention and not part of the actual top 10 list
@@TheXclusiveAcelist is list, I know what your intention was but I still think a sniper mention would have been good. Not trying to be rude or troll but looking for guidance etc. used to watch all your old content from years back and looked you up when I came back after years so was hoping for a wee push in the right direction!
Ace can you do a video breaking down some attatchents from mw2 to mw3 ,a lot of them cant really compete ( like for example some for of aiming stability is missing on grips and stocks ) and even some attatchmets are missing like 60 rnd mag for m13c or second barrel for minibak , its just really backwards to me why the guns are performing worse than in mw2 , a huge thank you if you can see this ❤️
I love the iso 9mm for up small maps and the sidewinder for big maps
Ace, you're my favorite CodTuber. Merry Xmas bro.
They should make everything OP - perks included!!
COMPLETELY agree about them buffing the weaker weapons vs nerfing the stronger weapons. On point.
This is probably the only channel I'll take seriously when I see titles like "BEST GUNS"
The effort you put into your videos is insane!! I feel like just watching your channel alone is enough to cover everything I need to know about COD! Thank you for being you and producing high quality content with no gimmicks, I love how you updated the attachment combnatnions for every gun on this video rather than just copy and paste from your gun guide but I noticed that your using a suppressor in your MCW build 8:00 but you're showing the T51R muzzle in the screnshot
The COR-45 is probably one of my favorite pistols in recent memory. I picked one up in zombies on a no weapon drop and immediately loved how little recoil it has. Built one out for Zombies and TDM.
Is the m13c bugged? It only has a 45 mag but warzone it has a 60 in the ground loot
Hey ace can you make a video about matchmaking. One of the biggest drawbacks for me is matchmaking and i wanna know your thoughts on it.
I've been bopping the mtz762 just to not use the basb since using the best guns is boring.
2:56 they changed it to the dg-56 is because the gun is now chambered in 5.56mm instead of 5.8mm cause dg-58
Anyone else done the week 3 challenges but can’t equip the aftermarket part for the Tyr Pistol?
Already looking forward to the BO2 guides next year.
Holger 556 accuracy build with 20 round mag is my top gun from your builds, DM56 is my best DMR, and Striker is my best SMG. Thanks for your builds!
Favourite segment as always ! Really curious what’s better between stalker vs Katt. Akimbo renetti vs Tyr.
Is the 680 as good as the old Bryson from mw2.
Ace- I'm struggling with getting some camos to register- at the halfway mark of all guns- the 2 SMG's that you need to ADS, then hipfire, this should be easy- but no matter how long I ADS, the ensuing hipfire or not registering- after an hour or two of trying this, I have zero registers - can you do a tutorial on chrome Camo or whatever platinum is now called, LMG's and SMG's should be done for me but I feel it's a glitch. I have all my assaults and snipers and pistols done but am struggling for others- Activision should either allow practice on camo descriptions or show exactly how to perform. Thanks in advance brother
not sure what kind of testing was done but i have been single bursted by the DG-56 and they were all leg shots..
Just another top level video Ace. I agree with your thought process on buffing the weaker weapons opposed to nerfing the better ones. Sadly, I'm not going to hold out much hope the dev's feel the same. With the quality of vids you pump out Ace, it won't be long before you crack the 1M subs milestone.
Realize how weak Shotguns are when,
This maps were made for a game where Shotgun secondaries still had longer ranges than the ones in the game now.
They aren't even mentioned in this video, but Snipers are.
Very few mentions of Shotguns in the comments of this video, with most of those being people knowing Shotguns are weak.
I'm going to say something most people don't want to hear, If parts of the community aren't screeching about Shotguns being OP, then are weak & basically useless. People will literally complain about anything over than the guns they uses kills them. That's the only way you know Shotguns are actually competitive. It isn't just that no one's complaining, no one seems to even realize just how weak they are now. SMGs were underpowered for a minute after the game released, because of how strong they were in the Beta, & look what happened to them.
The mtz-556 feels weird to me. It should perform well but it feels like even in semi auto my rounds just decide to curve away from point of aim. Same thing with the mtz-762 but the aftermarket kit fixes that strangely
I wish they'd fix the camo tracking for the stormender. I don't feel like doing the snipers, so I did everything else, and the stormender priceless is all I'm missing for interstellar, but it doesn't track affecting operators
Do you have a discord or something similar with your gun builds? Your setups are always on point
My MWII gun pick is weird (and cheesey lol) it's the ......LOCKWOOD 300 + Maelstrom Dual Triggers + 12 Gauge Slug +3.4 Shlager. Pretty "cheese" BUT SO MUCH FUN! Honestly, my favorite "gun" from the MWIII is the Stormender Launcher. I think this is b/c I mainly play SMG/AR and I play objectives/shoot down streaks etc....and yeah the Stormender is just so much more than a simple Launcher. It's just refreshing to have a Launcher that can be used for more than 1-2 things. You could argue that it can't kill anyone which is true but at the same time I've used it as a last ditch effort (Notice a Sniper before he notices me and I dont have the range, need to reload, etc) and it's helped me get melee kills or finish reloading my gun etc....WHICH IS ALL RNG, but it's better than nothing.
I was very sad about the DG nerf, but it was deserved. Even with the nerf though, I still only run the DG with a sniper switch (ground war player here). With a 20 round mag on it, it is so dam fast with ADS speed, sprint to fire, and a movement speed buff; not to mention the reload speed is like less than a second. I am a burst guy in these games, and I'm so happy they finally made a comeback in this game. The DG is where it's at even post nerf.
Try it with these attatchments - Shadowstrike suppressor, 20 round mag, LS18 barrel, Harken OP grip, FTAC SP-10 underbarrel
Does anybody know if the X12 kills faster than the Cor 45? From what I can tell, the X12 is a 3 shot to the upper torso, whereas you can only get a 4 shot with the Cor and their fires rates aren't disimilar
Hey why does it say 'Weapon Tuning unlocked' at max level?
Theres on tuning on MWIII....
Its hard to say what my main weapons are since im still chasing interstellar, but after getting my ARs forged ive been feeling like my top two are the holger AR for mid-long range and the mtz AR for short-mid range. Although I did recently run one of the marksman rifles in a really fun strafing build on ship/meat 24/7 with some really good results so i might be playing with them more for the first time
....also i will absolutely have a dedicated cor-45 class. Seriously, even in my first ten matches I was HOPING someone would challenge me while i reloaded just so i could pull out my secondary 😂
the Bas B reminds me of the Scar H in the OG MW 2 (2009)
You nailed it. Maybe Taq-Eradicator, but otherwise, nailed it.
I'm also glad you chose the M4 from MW2. In that game, it was my go-to assault. Recoil was minimal enough to go head to head as with the Taq-56 if you just pull down a wee bit on that joystick, but with the correct attachments and tuning (which I miss) the ADS was simply astounding on an assault rifle.
Rival 9 is great at short distance, but the recoil makes it difficult for the further edge of its range. Rival 9 or Striker? Depends on the map, really.
I've been messing around with the RPK again setting it up like an assault rifle with the 30 round mags and I've been surprised
I love the Bas so much and I've never liked battle rifles. Getting to drop the stupid field upgrade to carry a second primary is amazing too, Bas + Lockwood 680 is such a fun build to run
MCW, MCW 6.8 full auto conversion, DM56, Holger 556, DG56, WSP-9 with conversion kit, WSP Swarm akimbo, Striker 9, XRK Stalker, Renetti Akimbo, Cor45 both the base with the lightning trigger and the version with the conversion kit, and the karambit.
Best of the best for me being the MCW for best all around weapon, WSP-9 conversion for midrange, WSP Swarm akimbo for short range. COR45 for best all around secondary, Renetti for best short range secondary, XRK stalker best sniper, MCW 6.8 for best consistent long range, and knife for best weapon in the game (only slightly sarcastic)
My favs right now outside of the snipers are the Lockwood 680 shotgun and the SVA 545 AR.
MTZ interceptor is one of my favorites. Slight learning curve to it being a semi auto marksman rifle but it’s a two shot kill from any range
any idea why the bullet penetration is so fucked in the game? Even with AP rounds it halves the damage going through many of the walls. Also MGs penetrate walls much worse than ARs do by default, and even with AP rounds on both they're worse.
When leveling up weapons it unlocks weapon tuning. Am I missing something?
The cor 45 is insane
Hey Ace was just wondering if you were gonna report on how the Last Weekly Reward n Current weekly reward don't work
Also Engineer Vest still doesn't work
There's also attachments still locked with no explanation on how to get them
My top 10 in no particular order accept the last 3(my favourites) are.
Cor 45, Wsp swarm, Rival 9, mtz 556, Holger 26, interceptor, bas b, Dg 56, Dm56 and the, taq eradicator.
The instagib headshots of the interceptor are nasty af too
With the list having the possibility of becoming non-accurate in the future you could consider making a top 10 list for guns per season (or every other season) to make sure the players will always be up to date.
The MTZ Intercepter marksman rifle is definitely top 2. You can build it as mid to long range rifle or more of a rush build and it's still solid. 2 shots to the body or 1 to the head. Also give the Vel 46 from mw2 a look in this game, been running around wrecking with it in War.
I kind of like the Taq Eradicator for an LMG. It has the interesting firing pattern. With very fast 3-4 bullets and then slowing down. If you catch them with the first bullets they drop super fast. It's downside is the keeping up momentum so best to burst the fast rounds out then pause. But it is situational.
