I'm sure many will be asking since it was just released a few minutes ago. I will be covering the SBMM discussion blog in tomorrow's video as I won't have any time to get to it for today
@@ILostYourSoul im glad SOMEONE finally realized this, a casual player wants to hop on and play the game, not worry about sweating their ass off, which in ranked you have to do as losing comes at a cost at the same time, people want to play the game, so ending up in casual matches where losing doesnt matter where your constantly getting destroyed is not fun, a middle ground always needs to be reached and while currently I dont think cod has reached that middle ground, skill is to strong of a factor rn, removing SBMM entirely isnt a better outcome
@@flamingscar5263I disagree, no one had issues with the lobbies back in the day, although there was some form of sbmm it was basically new players and then everybody else so essentially sbmm barely existed, also it’s not like every lobby u get with no sbmm is going to have sweaty players
I think for players yet to reach 55 rank they should help them with some SBMM but reduce or remove once they get to or over 55. I remember getting stomped on on mw2 2009 but then I would get a lobby where I did the stomping and I would stay there as long as the lobby went on, people DID NOT leave right away most of the time. This one lobby and disbanded crap is annoying. They need to at least get rid of that and let lobbies last until enough people leave or connection becomes unstable
For snipers I would mention how much of a bonus you are getting to your aim idle sway. An example is if an attachment says it gives 3 green markers worth of aim idle sway then the build has +3 aim idle sway.
XRX Stalker is based on Cadex CDX-50 Tremor which most the people said it reminds them of ballista sniper rifle from black ops 2, but it’s a new weapon but it’s almost similar to each other
It probably has a bug with its upper hotbox registration. I'm a good sniper and even I get hit markers, that was the first thing I realized about the gun when it first came out. I'd have some great games on Meat with quickscoping but other times I'd get hit markers within its 1 shot range. So I basically use the same class Ace recommends for quickscoping, I just switch the 7 round and stock attachment Ace used for the high velocity or range/velocity rounds and the rear grip that helps with flinch, that seemed to fix my issues with hit markers when I put the shorter barrel on and give me a clean shot pretty much 24/7. You can also sub the high velocity rounds for a 2x/6x zoom optic as well.
Looking forward to the Inhibitor video. I'm having a lot of fun with that gun. I'm not the best quick scoper so that gun's high fire rate really helps me out.
My Long Range Build: Sonic Suppressor Fission 60 Barrel High Grain Ammunition FT Match Grip Light Bolt If they were available I'd use the 20 Round Mag (only shows on TrueGameData not in the game and the bugged out "No Stock" attachment I can also recommend the "Ural Stock" for better Aiming Idle Sway too. Give me your opinions guys! (Also @Ace as always, amazing video, love you man keep going with the Lords work ❤)
Strange. As a former EMT, a one shot kill would be more likely to the leg than an arm. The femoral artery in the leg, when punctured, can cause massive hemorrhaging and bone fragmentation, whereas a hit to the brachial artery in the arm, although very serious, is less life threatening.
how is it strange? the game isnt realistic at all, if leg shots were fatal that'd just cause major balancing issues and just wouldnt be fun. we dont play call of duty for indepth realistic injuries. nobody is surviving a few bullets to the chest or head
Would it be a situation where they are calculating the ROF based on how fast it is to empty your mag and completely excluding reload down time? I’m just trying to understand the system as I’m not too well informed with the series honestly
For the quickscope build, you can use even a 6x optic (and imo a strictly better one...) and still improve ADS speed by more than using the Helix LV stock.
Thanks for confirming. I figured the no stock was bugged and I think the factory barrel is as well. I'm at top level with the XRK but that barrel is still locked and nothing telling me how to unlock it. Any suggestions Ace?
@@oldie121 Have you noticed how much the developers are pushing the game toward the really young audience? All these added skins and lazers and weird content takes away from the game in my oppinion, which matters not in an open forum. However, I can't stop thinking It's starting to look more like Fortnite than the old COD I so thoroughly enjoyed. It's still fun to play but rubber duck heads, bunny and pussycat faces? Really!? What were they thinking. Anyhow, taker easy, see you in the crosshairs. :)
The factory barrel you used in your long range build is locked for me with no means by which to unlock it. No armory unlock option and no level option for the XRK Stalker (plus I maxed it out, anyway). Does anyone else have this problem?
longbow with no stock, 2,5x intlas cas-14 or kr intlas lsj-3, pro-99 longbarrel, nought-z3 grip and sa-m quickbolt. it's the only gun i use specialy on shipment, quickscooe with this one is fun and very eficient. bamm, there's no fun like this one, try it and get used to it and you'll see. btw, infantry vest, smoke airdrop, marksman gloves, lightweight boots and eod padding. and to add more fun to the setup shock stick and thermite. the secondary i wear TYR with jak beholder rifle kit, ullr's fury trigget action, 12,7x55mm high grain, fjx diod-70 laser and the scope heinrichter hybrid scope 9x. 2 snipers but i always forget the secondary because longbow cleans the map. made interstelar and use them all from mw2 to mw3 and after all the guns i stoped on longbow. if there's much confusion i wear riveter: aok 4x recon, 30 round mag,. 410 gauge incendiary, jak purifier flamethrower and vulture claw breacher as muzzle. longbow runs better than a smg. hope you have fun as i do 👍
Ace, I’ve actually noticed a lot of fire rate inaccuracies! Check out the guard for the Bryson 890 that improves fire rate. It shows the fire rate getting bumped up to ~3 rounds/sec but I’m not sure it affects it at all. Lol and the CDR pistol has the fire rate of an SMG with the Lightning trigger, but the game can’t register 12 fire inputs per second. Although with a macro you can still shoot comically fast.
SP-X is still best for quick scoping, similar body multipliers within 20-30 meters, but I don't have stats to back that up. Just side by side comparison within the same games.
@@youryella But it has a much smaller projectile size. If you're a great player then the SPX might be better but most people could use the more generous hotbox of the Stalker
If you don't mind using a semi automatic. The KV can have 440ms ads speed while also having over 1,000 bullet velocity. It is technically the best sniper but yk. Bolt actions are cooler.
Is anyone else having issues with XRK Stalker Factory Barrel still being locked after hitting max level with the gun? Cannot use it. Any advice on how to fix bug?
Don’t know if i’m being stupid, but on console if you are attempting to quick scope and hold your breath you aim a bit better when attempting a kill without looking down the scope fully(forgot what it's called)
I was incredibly disappointed with the sniper selection at launch. They were all so wimpy or ugly, but this sniper has quickly become one of my favorites in CoD history. Incredibly satisfying to use
Thanks as always for your time and efforts to share this with us all. This sniper is the best for my style of play. I find the aim down sight time most forgiving.
You got to do a performance build that wont crash your hardware or lag ppl out,,, certian conditions like dual lasers and high fire rate tank your systems ram or processing power type of shiet, the more powerful the lazer, though its more an mwz zombs or whatever
why a laser instead of a lower magnification optic, the SZ Bullseye is x6 which is enough for 6v6 even on Wasteland and it has almost the same ads benefit as a laser with no downside, there are times you will hardscope even with a quickscope build, i dont see the point of a laser
Got this notification right before seeing the sbmm discussion dropped lol can already tell they weren’t honest about the matchmaking and it’s laughable 😂
Possibly the best sniper in multiplayer imo, fast ads even with the 10 round mag and reliable hit box. Can't say the same for warzone though, might as well use explosive rounds FJX Imperium
Why would anyone want to fire a .50 BMG sniper rifle without a stock?! Well, one thing's for certain; once it unlocks I know what SamClaymor's next video will be!
I personally felt this sniper a kind of miss. It looks cool, has some unique guard attachments, but we’ve had the FJX imperium as an average sniper, which is very similar. Furthermore, the best all around sniper in my opinion is the MCPR, you can build that to be anything literally.
Mcpr is faster with better bullet velocity and higher damage range for more consistent one shots as ur one shot hit box is a lot bigger within its minimum dmg range, only thing spx has over mcpr is the fire rate and the scope arguably
@@Adderflail and I don’t remember the exact number off the top of my head but in it’s minimum damage range the mcpr is around 68 meters I believe, and saying it’s one shot kill zone is 44 meters is completely false, I get consistent one shots to lower stomach across the high rise spawn snipe

XRK Stalker uses 50.BMG, not 450.Bushmaster.
Looks like Ace got PTSD after recording the footages with Sidewinder.
Noticed that immediately
And funny enough, the sidewinder doesn’t even use “.450 Bushmaster”, it uses “.450 Huntsman”.
@@jacobm2625 450 Bushmaster is the name of the actual round
sidewinder sucks ass to get to forged
I hate that gun
That 360 at the end 👀👀👀👀👀
That 360 kill at the end 😊 Ace has improved since his mw19 sniping clips for sure
Clean little 360 quick scope at the end. 👌🏼
For the quick scoping build, the Corio LAZ-44 V3 laser provides even faster ADS speed than the OLE-V laser

By far my favourite sniper. Love it
I did not so that 360 kill coming to end the video. Beautiful!
Thanks for the video
Very nice 360 quickscope there Ace at 10:10 to 10:15 while the other guy was coming off the corner. 👍🏻
Very accurate and valuable information
How do you unlock the XRK Stalker Factory Barrel? I’m all leveled up and it’s still locked.
Same here
Excellent video as always. One thing to note though, video says .450 bushmaster but the gun is .50BMG
This is my new go to sniper since the kv inhibitor got a nerf at longer ranges
quite surprised the xrk stalker's one hit kill zone is that big sinse i get hitmarkers like crazy with it
facts I get upper body hit markers all the time even in closest range
It probably has a bug with its upper hotbox registration. I'm a good sniper and even I get hit markers, that was the first thing I realized about the gun when it first came out. I'd have some great games on Meat with quickscoping but other times I'd get hit markers within its 1 shot range.

Haven’t played much MP lately, but this became my go to after Interstellar was done. No attachments, bare bones.
I recommend using the aok recon sight for the 4x zoom without sniper glint.

Sonic Suppressor
Fission 60 Barrel
High Grain Ammunition
FT Match Grip
Light Bolt
If they were available I'd use the 20 Round Mag (only shows on TrueGameData not in the game and the bugged out "No Stock" attachment

Give me your opinions guys!
(Also @Ace as always, amazing video, love you man keep going with the Lords work ❤)
I wonder how it compares to the spx80 or mcpr
I do like the stalker. And have used it in warzone a little bit. But haven't played for ages
Finally we're getting to the snipers! :D

I gotta say, the XRK Stalker is my favorite sniper in MW3 and I agree with Ace based on how it performs compared to the other three in the category.
Why u didnt mentioned the intergrated silencer one? Isnt that actually good for balanced as well as increasing its mvm speed?
The last kill...Ok Ace, I see you.
Would it be a situation where they are calculating the ROF based on how fast it is to empty your mag and completely excluding reload down time?
I’m just trying to understand the system as I’m not too well informed with the series honestly
Can we get one in the intervention in mw3
For the quickscope build, you can use even a 6x optic (and imo a strictly better one...) and still improve ADS speed by more than using the Helix LV stock.
Hi Ace would you say the FJX Imperium is better than this?
Isn’t the mcpr better overall? Comparing both the mcpr stats are better but idk. Plus it’s way quicker with the 5 round attachment.
How do you unlock the xrk factory barrel it's locked for me even tho I have it maxed out
I still can't even unlock no stock, the last barrel, since attachments for the ram, etc. Is there any way to fix this?
Anyone know how to take the stock off of the sniper? Or is that just locked by Activision with no way to unlock it?
Thanks for confirming. I figured the no stock was bugged and I think the factory barrel is as well. I'm at top level with the XRK but that barrel is still locked and nothing telling me how to unlock it. Any suggestions Ace?

Hey is there a chance you can do the longbow next I’ve been looking for the best attachments for it since the game came out

it's the only gun i use specialy on shipment, quickscooe with this one is fun and very eficient.
bamm, there's no fun like this one, try it and get used to it and you'll see.
btw, infantry vest, smoke airdrop, marksman gloves, lightweight boots and eod padding.
and to add more fun to the setup shock stick and thermite.
the secondary i wear TYR with jak beholder rifle kit, ullr's fury trigget action, 12,7x55mm high grain, fjx diod-70 laser and the scope heinrichter hybrid scope 9x.
2 snipers but i always forget the secondary because longbow cleans the map.
made interstelar and use them all from mw2 to mw3 and after all the guns i stoped on longbow.
if there's much confusion i wear riveter:
aok 4x recon, 30 round mag,. 410 gauge incendiary, jak purifier flamethrower and vulture claw breacher as muzzle.

There is a silencer that supposed to unlock at level 16 for the KATT-AMR that is doing the same thing
It certainly is a mighty fine rifle
Anyone able to access XRK Stalker Factory Barrel tho? Mines locked with no challenges posted or anything.
Can we add the Ace hud in the next patch pls?
How does this compare to mw2 snipers like the Spx? Not sure if one has a faster potential ads or more idle sway/flinch etc…
SP-X is still best for quick scoping, similar body multipliers within 20-30 meters, but I don't have stats to back that up. Just side by side comparison within the same games.
@@youryella Ik they adjusted all the stats in mw3 and increased its ads time from mw2, but it still may be the best. Idk…

Slightly related but is the FJX Imperium good? I keep going between that and this
wayyy better in my opinion cause it rarely hitmarkers at range and has a beautiful scope
I switched to this after getting shit on. Then I went on a small ks & got a point blank noscope headshot hitmarker. Can anyone explain this?
Think I still prefer the Katt-amr, but the xrk stalker build Advance Lethality off the battle pass is pretty damn effective.

Yeah I can’t use it either. Wanna try out this long range build.
Personally i like the m24. Its more run and gun style. Does good damage too
Explosive ammo on the Signal 50 is fun 😅
Sad it's being removed from ranked. Mw2 had so much more sniper options in ranked.
ranked is pretty ass this year because of the lack of versatility. Who in the world wants to just CHOOSE ONE SNIPER AND ONE AR
