"You won't fire all 100 rounds anyway" - Me, who does not let go off of the trigger to chain those multikills or suppress fire in choke points... Fast hands is my friend
I usually die before I can even unleash that many rounds. Fast hands does nothing for me if I spawn with a new belt... TBH I guess I just suck at positioning.
He’s not being as thorough as he was with MW 2019 though which is kind of disappointing. I didn’t watch any gun guides for vanguard and only a few for Cold War so I don’t know when he stopped covering every single stat affected by a gun’s unique attachments but it would be nice if he started doing that again. I’d like to know how much each barrel and magazine will affect my movement speed, and he’s not even covering stock attachments at all
It still provides a lot of useful info, if you notice he's not using stocks or grips in this game nearly as much, whereas like stippled grip in mw2019 was a must. So he's focusing on the important attachments. And I'm disappointed in infinity ward for not having detailed stats, it's not Ace's fault they fuck up so much.
Against the grain I’ve always had an thing for lmgs in call of duty , not that I don’t appreciate the ability to move swiftly but the ability to kill hella ppl without having to reload is always slept on . Default mag size typcially frees up an attachment slot
Yeah the Aug lmg has crazy ads speed with its magazine attachments even having 2 or 3 attachments for recoil control the best one of the lazer attachments and an optic and it has a assault rifles ads even the 100 round mag doesn't make it that much slower.
I ranked this up with the canted laser which turns it into the chainsaw. Super accurate, on shipment you'll constantly be mowing people down from anywhere on the map
@@grrinc I believe they nerfed armor piercing rounds so now they dont do anything anymore against armor.. kinda sucks cause armor piercing rounds would be a life saver in the already difficult DMZ mode with so many level 3 bots
I like to run this with the canted laser, armor piercing rounds, 150 belt mag. The remainder is up your preference whether you want ads or recoil control. Lots of fun to just spray everything down. Even takes kill streaks out pretty easily. Definitely recommend trying it
One thing I love the Sakin was mostly its own personal Grip. Admit it, those who mainly use LMGs would love to have those grip designs when doing a gun and run plus it looks badass. First LMG I saw with this kind of grip was from R6 Siege Operator Gridlock that uses the M249 SAW with 60 mag and grip. If there was gonna be a new LMG in the future seasons. I can only hope it has a side grip regardless of its downsides.
Considering the practical real world TTK involves reaction, sprint to fire and ADS time I have always loved using an LMG on fast TTK cods. It removes so much of these factors that you can drop most players even as close as 10m if you play right. You still get dropped by SMG's and Shotguns at close range but every guns needs a counter otherwise they would just nerd the LMG's into the ground.
Ace- the technical term for that "open bolt delay" is "lock time". Open bolt delay might be better for communication with your viewers, but lock time is the technically correct term. t. Pedantic competition shooter
For real, he’s only covering half the information he used to cover in MW 2019. No stats for stocks, only telling us ads speeds for barrels and mags but ignoring the rest of their stat effects. Nothing about the grip attachments either. Idk how these videos are almost as long with half the information
@williamlittle2016 to be fair, I'm sure that hand testing all these values must take an annoyingly long time. He can't spend 24 hours a day in game after all
@@williamlittle2016 Because then it would take more than a week per video and they would be way too long, nobody would watch whole way through. also truegamedata is working on and will eventually have all stats for everything in game. It makes no sense at all for Ace to cover everything.
Seeing you start the LMG guides reminds me that I wish we had the M240B in this game. I really thought they would put it in here, I hope it becomes a dlc gun
dude I NEVER saw this thing and never used it once myself (yet somehow had it at lvl7). eventually picked a stock one up on WZ and it felt great. definitely want to make a WZ/DMZ build for it now to try it against my RAAL (which I love)
@@ESKATEUK the.... Worst LMG? What are you smoking? I got 3 AC130s on the same shipment game with it. I recommended it to a friend i was playing with. He proceeded to also get 3 AC130s on the same game. The RAPP H is a fucking BEEEEAST.
Sakin is a pretty fun weapon to use. I would always start hip firing while aiming down sight and it's close range damage is so good that the enemy I was shooting at was dead by the time I fully ADS'd with impressive frequency
This gun slaps in Invasion. I have been in the top 5 of all my matches since I started using it. 150 belt on with incendiary rounds is a chopper killer. I even took a juggernaut out by myself yesterday.
I love running the MG83, RAAL, and Icarus on DMZ. I've been waiting for the LMG gun guides. Running this with the canted laser and 150 round mag is really fun.
The MG38 is definitely a very chonky boi to use, but it can be fun and gets the job done! I'd use it more often if the ADS and reload speed wasn't as slow as it is, but it's a decent choice for a change of pace.
Yea I was just refreshing my memory with the sakin and I heard it I don't think I heard that the first time I watched this. But it's definitely a rare oopsie by Ace I thought something was wrong with my phone or internet.
did this one first just to get the magma digital camo, best non mastery camo in the game by far, no scratches (also chrysolite and 8 bit, but I don't like those as much)
Found out how good this gun is by complete accident picked it up off an enemy body and did fantastic with it, even getting a juggernaut! Then the juggernaut marker fell through the earth
I love how in all the background gameplay u shown, all ur enemy are deaf and only half the brain working. but in my lobbys they can hear into the future and jump around like crackheads and never miss a shot. i have a less than 1 kd btw
I've always had a soft spot for the Negev, and so it's my AA gun of choice in this game. That said, let's be honest - we all know which LMG guide we're waiting for.
Great video Ace, thank you for doing this! There is a little editing glitch at ~2:05 (voice line). I don't know if that could be still edited. If not, don't worry, the video is great anyway. If yes, please feel free to delete my comment after fixing it. Keep up the great work!!
For such a slow firing and handling weapon with an open bolt delay, it needs a headshot buff to at least 50 damage so it can 2 shot if you hit both in a row
@@then64shooter to be fair it doesn’t really depend on the ammo, at least not entirely. The LAMG (Finn LMG) also has very, very low recoil in .308, and it’s because the bolt doesn’t even hit the back, creating felt recoil
@TheXclusiveAce, couple of months ago you posted a video regarding shadowbans, now I’m stuck in a loop. My accounts Under Review for a while now and since it’s Christmas I can’t play game normally until they (Activision Employees) get back from the holidays. Why is it still a thing now?
Since gaming monitors come with built in crosshairs you can turn on.. is there really any point to adding a red dot type optic since you've already got a red dot built into the monitor and optics reduce ADS time?
It might have gotten a buff between the beta and release, but it's been fairly solid since launch. I still feel that the mag fed lmgs and the raal are better options, but the sakin's not bad.
Hey ace I realize it might not be in the analysis side of things, but can you do a video on tracers and dismemberment effects in mw2 I feel like I’m missing something cause I can’t use a different ammo type with the “nice” blueprint of the victus xmr if I want to keep the effects on the ammo
Yeah I miss when he'd tell us how much the barrels would reduce/increase movement speed by, that's a huge factor for me in my class setups that just doesn't get mentioned anymore
Unfortunately not. There are far too many attachments this time around and I want to be able to finish the series in a reasonable amount of time. I’m already putting a ton of time into each of these episodes so adding even more on top of it isn’t viable
1) it’s ok to be a lil realistic 2) jt can be good for balance, such as to make the otherwise insane ttk of the raal a lil more reasonable, and makes you play more like an lmg where you’re spraying instead of firing in bursts like with assault rifles, since you wanna avoid that delay
Ace! Please put your opinions/thoughts on the gun up first please. It gives us a chance to watch the game play and notice the things of what u like and dislike about it.
"You won't fire all 100 rounds anyway" - Me, who does not let go off of the trigger to chain those multikills or suppress fire in choke points... Fast hands is my friend

Honestly it's kinda broken on objective reapwan mode because you can force chokes by just holding down the 150 round trigger

Oh man, chainsaw was one of my favorite guns in CoD, I hadn't even thought about slapping canted on an LMG to try to replicate it.
Bro I absolutely agree. Things so op with canted laser. I also used it with a monitor crosshair that I can turn on 🤣
A Sakin with a 150 belt is great in DMZ, specially when you are surrounded by 10 bots with full armor
Use incendiary 🔥

Great video, Ace!! The LMGs really shine in DMZ, especially against hordes of Tier 3 AI, or "DMZ hunters". I will give your build a spin!
Yeah plus the rpd and aug can be given smaller mags from their assault rifle versions.

I would love to see a wall bang guide! I can’t tell what armor piercing actually goes through, I think cod is moving away from wallbang in general
Yeah, either they made walls in general harder to wallbang, or they don't use wood panels nearly as often as they should
Well, Vanguard had a shit ton of wallbanging, so it's good that they are dialing it back a bit from that.
@@cipherpac it adds to the gameplay, when everything is not made of cardboard boxes and every gun has a 100 round mag at least

For a longer range build I really like the kazan holo optic. Nice and clean without the iron sights getting in the way.
Ads tuning is a must with this gun it’s a huge difference
Given that we're covering the LMGs could you take a look at the various bipod attachments on offer?

Not a glitch
I think he left in a failed take hehe
Happens tbh
I noticed that the rear grip descriptions are swapped for the two of the grips. The Stip-40 grip and the Bruen G305 grip wrap.
I was really hoping they'd use the Sakin as the platform for the Galil since they're related... oh well! Still the coolest LMG in the game!

I was pleasantly surprised by this LMG, for being such a high caliber rifle it still was very lasery at least how i build it

Shoutout to the low firerate LMG doing less damage than the 7.62 AK. At least this gun does kinda kick it at range, I guess.
Excellent video as per normal. There is an audio fault at 2:05 when I watched it on both iPhone and iPad.

Amazing for DMZ
I only use lmgs after religiously saying no Russian and I do not stop until that box is empty...
Ace has found a way to improve handling and recoil using attachments. IW will nerf something now no doubt.
This gun got the AI in DMZ Sakin deez nuts
Negev go brr
No section for the unique grips?
Question: Could you compare the bipod grip between regular grips and bipods
I just go all in in on ads with lmgs in general. Most of them don't feel much worse in the recoil department.
Ace I think killstreak damage would be a good stat to evaluate for the LMGs. That might take too much work though idk
Cant decide if i want to use this or the raal
fun fact this is actually the Negev lol
Can we get a slight of hand video?
