In this episode: the L115 - the British designation for the Arctic Warfare Magnum bolt-action rifle from Accuracy International.
Damage is very good, with the L115 boasting the largest one hit kill area of all the sniper rifles, alongside the Lynx.
You'll kill at any range with a shot to the head, neck, torso - and even the upper portion of the legs.
This makes the rifle even more deadly than its bolt action peer, the USR - although the L115 pays for this extra damage with a few negative adjustments to its handling traits.
For one, your maximum rate of fire is lower - the bolt-action will slow you down to 40 rounds per minute, slower than any other weapon in the game.
This abysmally slow output will severly hamper your performance in close quarters: and given the colossal hipfire spread, landing an unaimed shot requires a huge dose of luck.
Recoil is present but not a factor in your accuracy, with the rifle settling as you cycle the action.
As with the USR, the L115 has the benefit of a recoil compensator that gains effectiveness with every kill, resetting upon death.
The lower recoil permits retention of your scope's view on target, which can prove helpful when tackling multiple opponents: better tracking movement to line up a second shot.
Aim time is slow, albeit faster than some of the sniper rifles on offer: at 400 millseconds.
This is the same as the USR, with the two bolt-action weapons having marginally faster ADS times when compared to the semi-automatic options.
Your movement speed is a little on the slow side, however - you'll move at 85 percent of the base speed, some 5 percent slower than the USR.
Magazine capacity is the lowest in-class, at 5 rounds: but the lower fire rate of the sniper rifles mean that this isn't a significant issue.
In any case, the L115 reloads faster than any other sniper: at 3.36 seconds.
Building a class for this weapon should focus on the core feature of a bolt-action rifle: reliable one shot kills.
With the slowest rate of fire in the game, anything you can do to enhance the odds of a successful shot will pay dividends.
The logical first attachment choice is the Chrome-lined barrel, then: this will increase your weapon's one-hit kill area to cover additional portions of the limbs.
While ideally you'll aim for centre mass to maximise your odds of a kill, any enhancement to your one-hit-kill area will yield more consistent results.
The attachment does increase recoil and idle sway, but the enhanced kick shouldn't matter - as you won't be able to fire until the bolt has been cycled.
Next, Armor Piercing rounds will enhance your ability to shoot through cover, as well as increasing the damage you deal versus enemy killstreaks.
While you should aim to land a clear shot on a target, sometimes cover may occlude your foe - and in this case, the extra penetration ability can sometimes prove decisive.
For your perks, there are few that will directly affect your lethality - so accuracy is perhaps the best investment.
Focus will reduce both idle sway and view flinch from incoming fire - helping to reign in some of the chrome lined barrel's negative effects by keeping your sights as steady as possible.
Positioning is another key part of effective sniping, as you must anticipate where your enemy will spring from: Wiretap can be a good investment if your enemy makes heavy use of SatComs, as you'll be able to use them as your own for better situational awareness.
Similarly useful is Amplify: when occupying a firing location you may attract some attention from foes who would seek to displace you with a forced close-range engagement.
With this perk, you'll be able to hear them coming more clearly - giving you time to switch to an alternative weapon.
The L115 is a precision weapon with uncompromised one-shot ability, able to quickly extinguish the opposition at any range.
Only the Lynx can compare to this weapon's lethality, and unlike the heavy semi-automatic option, the L115 retains some favourable handling characteristics.
Like the USR, aim time is faster than the semi-auto rifles: and while the USR's mobility is superior, you'll still leave the Lynx in your dust.
However, you must be accurate with this weapon, else the slowest fire rate in the game will punish you: your enemy given generous opportunity to retaliate while you cycle the bolt.
The limited magazine capacity may harm your sustained support, too - with a short period of downtime required every 5 shots.
Nevertheless, the sniper rifle's single-shot ability is their key trait, and the L115 excels in this regard.
With careful positioning, and a precisely placed shot: the Arctic Warfare...
...will leave your enemies in the cold.
The L115 has the record for the longest sniper kill ever. It was by a british soldier with an L115 in Afghanistan in 2009 at over 1 and a half miles
Damn
Jesus 3540 meters. Talk about Fortnite 200 meter snips and them then freaking out.
Not any more. Since 2017 it's the McMillan Tac50
try again.
God Damn
Holy shit, I checked back beacause I forgot about Xbox Ahoy, your videos are not only amazingly professional and perfectly informative, but you have your epic voice down! HOLY SHIT! =DD
As a sharpshooter in the Swedish army, I had the pleasure to wield an Accuracy International Arctic Warfare rifle, aka Prickskyttegevär 90. Ngl, it felt pretty cool to learn how to use a weapon so iconic in many video games (I think the english name for it is L118A1, and the "AWP" has a bit shorter barrel).
Coming from Den Kirson, the Chrome Line will actually reduce the OHK area of the L115 -- the default sniper already has a larger kill area than a USR with Chrome Lined. It also doesn't help that this placebo is accompanied by higher sway and recoil, so one might as well ditch the attachment entirely. The AP rounds are a sensible choice, however.
It is likely that Den Kirson have screwed up both the L115 and the LYNX. Drift0r get his information from Den Kirson's forums, and he TOTALLY screwed up those two "in depth" episodes...
one of my favorite loadouts with the L115 is as follows:
L115 w/ Variable Lens & Extended mags
P226 muzzle break
IED
perks: Slight of Hand: Incog, Focus, Fully loaded.
this class itself has gotten me places and has allowed me to get nearly 1700 kills with the 115
ModFilms (Hecate II) that the same loadout I have 😃
That's a bold claim you're making.
Variable Zoom sight is a really good attachment, I find the decreased zoom (first zoom setting) to really help when in close quarters (just in case you scope in too far away from the target it's much easier and quicker to move your crosshair toward them with less zoom).
Whenever I see the thermal on a sniper I think babies first sniper with how it basically turned the sniper into the bo2 ksg on steroids.
dang you put some work in with the m9. very accurate
Your content makes me want to play ghosts again. You can make anything sound interesting and exciting
I remember this gun from Rainbow Six Vegas 2. Good times.
This gun is a L96 variant I'm guessing, definitely looks just like the L96.
Yep, I know the comment is old but the L96 can be seen as the father from which the L115 and L118 and others are born in a weird metaphorical way at least that's what I think
L96 was the British designation for the "Precision Marksman" which was the gun that Accuracy International made previously and based the Arctic Warfare rifles off of.
no it’s the L115A3, firing the .338 Lapua round; the L96 fires .308 (the same as the Remington USR)
@@khakipeach2128 you replied to a comment I made 7 years ago aka I was like 17
@@TheMajorLeagueGinger so how have you been?
The L115 reminds me of my days with the L118 in MW3
Gee, I wonder why?
I love the ending, like a 5 second wait and then an epic statement
I've been playing Ghosts since it came out. Ever since the Heavy Duty play list went live, it's all I've been playing. Playing only on this playlist means that I don't ever snipe. Now that I watch this video, it makes me want to play the other playlists just to snipe.
I like chrome lined, the penetration rounds, and dead eye. Combined with an oracle it can be a really fun time
Watches American Sniper. Go's pro at Cod with L115.
But the L115 is British, not American...
NurusTheSquid Not talking about the gun. Just the feeling.
Uranium Wolf Productions Ah, after using it just now in COD Ghosts I understand what you mean, it feels so good ^_^
I like that you give real life info on the guns, but i like that driftor has better classes.
My golden class:
L115 with variable zoom lens and armour piercing.
The pistol ahoy used with extended mags
IED
PERKS
Focus, incog, scavenger, any other perks of your choice.
This is my faviroute class. Golden L115 with insane accuracy that increases as you get kills. In a ghillie suit you are known as a king. I got this at prestige 1... thats how awsome it is. And if you are in close range, just switch and spam that shoot button. This is real sniper class!
This guy sounds like one of those In Game Voices that tell you "Enemy UAV is online" and what not.
you must be new here.
everyone was new at some point.
Chrome lined also doesn't increase idle sway, it increases the speed of it!
you sound like captain price.
+Vincent Vu I was watching one of his videos earlier and I thought the same thing lol
Bryce Lacy gud
@@vincentvu3796 nice
XBoxAhoy is so good at sniping wtf.
I could only do that good with the USR.
L115 goals af.
Anyone can quickscope.
That first clip. Damn.
Your voice is perfect for commentaries
That ad though seems like good movie. nice video perfect voice as well
Well put Stew,
Can't wait for the rest of the guns.
I love this guy. Sounds like a British General giving tips on the battlefield. Makes me want to play more COD after watching your videos! lol. I'm subin.
My favorite weapon, every time it has appeared in the series.
My most favorite sniper out of all COD games.
Why didn't you mention the ability to kill Ballistic Vest users in one shot with the Armor-Piercing attachment on? Honestly, that's the main reason I'll use the attachment on a sniper, shooting through walls is just sort of a secondary benefit for me. Either way, nice video. :)
ending should have been something like:
the arctic warfare will give you the awper hand in battle
I love your reviews, they are so professional
That first clip was pretty nice by the way, lol.
Yep
I miss this game and this channel. Can I please be 15 again.
This was like a mini montage!
For anyone who says that the Snipers aren't OP, fucking watch this video
Your opinion is stupid and nobody agrees with you.
IT'S A FUCKING SNIPER!!!!!!!
WTF...... Sniper are supostet to be 1 Shot kills machines which are nearly useles in CQB.
And Quickscoping isnt that powerfull how it was in the past CoDs......
117NateDog Your*
dude i watch every ghosts Faze Montage most of them where going negative
A game doesn't go by where I shoot a sniper first and he just goes *bloop* and shoots me in the knee and kills me. Yeah, not OP at all.
i just love these rifles truly my favs in black ops and ghosts
I have an Accuracy International emblem I made myself.
My sniper loadout:
L115: Variable Zoom and Chrome-Lined Barrel
P226
IED
Focus
Incog
Dead Silence
Takedown
Just came here to like. I don't even play COD anymore but Stuart deserves it.
with this weapon i never get hitmarkers, it doesn´t need steady aim perk to do a trickshot. it´s perfect and always deadly
Call of Duty Ghost is the only console game I know that have a Dual render scope can't wait for other console FPS games to utilize this mechanic
The L115 is actualy a upgraded version called the Arctic Warfare Super Magnum using a .338 Lapua Magnum round not the .308 win mag from the old AWM or L96
.308 isn't a Magnum round. It is often referred to as .308 Winchester, though.
And the AWM can fit either .338 Lupua Magnum or the .300 Winchester Magnum, depending on which one you buy.
OpticAhoy?
Great work keep it going!
Thoughts on the player limit on Titanfall?
Also you may have answered this before but will you be playing it on the XB1 or the PC?
He's answered both, the first on Reddit, and the second in a bonus. TL;DR, he said something along the lines of to be expected and the second I recall most likely on the xbone.
In your video, people seem much easier to see. Do you do that by turning up the brightness?
X1.
MrGenius465 What do you mean?
The Xbox One is brighter on Ghosts, so he didn't change anything. Look up comparision videos.
MrGenius465 Alright, thanks man :) On the PC it's just really hard to see anything because the quality of Ghosts isn't too great and there aren't many different colours. (In my opinion)
Kbabknight In my opinion, Infinity Ward's games are always color washed-out. I thought MW3 was and MW2 also.
those were some excellent clips nice job :D
Awesome videos, I've been a fan for a while! Just wondering Stu, if there was another game you would do for these weapon guides, which game(s) would it/they be? (This question may have been asked, sorry for being redundant)
Enjoying your weapon guides Stu, but will you be covering the sidearms in Ghosts?
Also, what, if any, is your preferred sidearm?
Sadly, he said we wasn't covering any of the Secondary weapons. I wish he would at least cover the handguns. And from the videos, his preferred sidearm seems to be the M9A1.
For my loadout I like to use chrome lined and thermal scope (cheeky shots are cheeky).
suggested IED's. ffs
What is wrong with that (I have not played ghosts)
@@operleutnant7235 IED's were on of, if not the, most annoying and borderline overpowered part of Ghosts
Best sniper in the game hands down
This was the only call of duty where I actually dominated lobbies, L115 & PDW is what I ran almost the entire life-span of the game. I have never been able to do this again in any call of duty before or after Ghost and I can't figure out why
I love these reviews a lot more than Drift0r's just because of the theme and the narrator! But Drift0r is more consistent with his videos and puts out more content.I still prefer AHOY though! Please do a Weapon Guide on the VKS Sniper Rifle, my personal Favorite! And the ever so popular Honey Badger!
back then sniping feels satisfying now pretty much all sniper shoot marshmallows
I have no idea how a chrome-lined barrel is supposed to increase lethality... that doesn't make sense lol O_O
probably reduces friction between the bullet and barrel, increasing muzzle velocity and kinetic energy (knockdown power)
John Bilbao A chrome-lined barrel is actually intended to decrease barrel wear and prolong its service life. You will actually see a lot of rifle manufacturers offer their precision rifles without a chome-lined barrel because it can be detrimental to accuracy (so they say, take it for what you will).
This just sounds like Infinity Ward not doing their homework again. If they wanted an attachment that produced better accuracy, they could have used a "Swagged Barrel" attachment (swagging being when the bore of the barrel tapers slightly thinner towards the muzzle. The HK MR762A1 is an example of a firearm with a swagged barrel, and it has a cousin in this game, being the MR-28).
As for more firepower, that's only really something that can be solved with the cartridge itself. Maybe they could have used a "Hollowpoint Rounds" attachment instead? Hollowpoints do usually have pretty mediocre accuracy from a precision rifle, however... Dunno how to fix this one XD
Barrels correlate to accuracy, projectiles correlate to punch.
Besides, it's a video game, so I guess it doesn't really mater at all...
Bimmer Bomber
A chrome barrel increases bullet tension and muzzle velocity. Also acts like a rifle designed choke.
Bimmer Bomber you do realize that chrome barrel increased sway and recoil to reflect this in game. They did portray the attachment accurately, it offers higher power but you pay for it with less precise shots, which is how a chrome lined barrel works in real life.
beast sniper rifel in ghosts
Quickscoper kids need to pay attention to Stuarts play style, that's what you should be doing. You quickscope when you have no choice at point blank range, that was the whole idea behind the technique not to run around holding the entire team back.
actually the chrome lined barrel isnt good on the L115, go to the call of duty wiki and see how it changes the OHK area
Nice guide. Love your series
Like a BOSS with the pistol. 5 kills including a headshot at the end (4.02-4.21). Calm down!!!
57/5 de L115
That trigger finger...
I perfer extended clips on the L115 and the USR they're already powerful enough for one hit kills.
Hey Stu have you ever thought that call of duty is wearing itself out with the modern-day setting and it should just go back to the WW2 games?
Sorry to say this but you got the one kill zones wrong for the legs and arms. You see the damage is weird as in if you shoot the left bicep it would kill him but on the right bicep it would not. Same for the triceps,thighs,and calves.
Also chrome lined increases idle sway or the sway of the sights when you aim.
FaZeAhoy
Fav sniper from cod ever idk why I just really like the sound of it and tape on the scope
Variable zoom instead of armor piercing
Excellent review, you did this weapon justice. It is by far a precision weapon & I use it as such. It is a very rewarding sniper that gets the job done very well!
This is why I chose that sniper for my montage :)
As you are clearly as sniper by nature, do you have a favourite? Personally I like the VKS because not a huge fan of the more powerful guns, I feel they draw a undesirable image to you when you use them. Also they tend to feel a bit clunky to me.
Antony Dale Yes, my favorite is by far the L115. The VKS is nice but I only find myself using it in Extinction rather than MP. I do agree with how clunky the snipers can be!
i love that sniper
Do you guys think that bullet fall should be put into COD sniping?
Cod sniping is focused on fun, bullet drop makes it very difficult espicially for people that never played with bullet drop
True that brotha
Seraph Blitz Besides, most call of duty maps aren't even big enough for bullet drop and balistic to make an appearance anyways :P
nehabje true also most of snipers users arent camping on a long line of sit
Well the L115 says : Fuck off the hitmarkers!
Chrome line only enables kills on the shins
This video help choose sniper I will use thanks
Hey Stu. I know you said you don't often answer videos relating to beer but i thought this was interesting so here goes. What do you think about the American Craft Beer industry at the moment? I'm a big fan i have to be honest. My favourite would be Boston Lager by Sam Adams followed by Brooklyn Lager. There's so much out there and its so much more interesting than most beer scenes at the moment.
The AWM 😮
Stu, I know that you wrote your scripts for Ghosts ahead of time. Did you write the scripts with specific class setups in mind, or do you play with the weapon for a time and then fill in that part of the script before recording?
What is your favorite area of the sciences, Stu?
No final killcam this week?
How is it possible to claim that you've "effectively killed quickscoping" when this thing is in the game!?
No final kill cam? D:
***** Nope. Sometimes I don't get a single killcam in a session - luck of the draw I suppose.
Your voice is Amazing!
how much swag could yolo swag if yolo had some swag
it'll be good if there is a guide for battlefield
One more thing.... L115 > all SRs right??
FaZe Ahoyy
*40 RPM the slowest firing WEAPON in the game* Have you used the knife or the kaset and paunzerfaust
when doesn't XboxAhoy say to put armor piercing i rather put thermal
It's your opinion
The black ops l96 sounded so much better...
I have 2 questions:
1. I am an excellent sniper in COD Ghosts and I prefer the stable position, so me and my friend Brandon devised a buddy system- Brandon has an automatic assault rifle while I use the L115 Sniper. Brandon guards an entryway while I kill as many enemies as I can from a supported position. Will this tactic work?
2. Because I'm a noob, can a full-360 headshot no scope be possible with the L115?
Ahoy, please reply.
is it just me or is captain price making a video about the l115 gun
What I don't get is why they would make a barrel that will make the snipers
Have a better one shot kill. They are already strong and annoying.
L115A3
optic ahoy
Stu, out of the guns you have used for Ghosts which, in your opinion, has the most satisfying noise when firing? If none impress, how about all the previous game?
in my subbox for once!
I did reduce the recoil to the l115 but sometimes it takes two shots
ty this helped
Are you still doing cod weapon commentaries? The new CoD MW would be interesting 🤔
