You should test what happens when you're contesting a hardpoint. Does it still count as your own objective? Is it different depending on which side captured the hardpoint first?
With the way quick fix works, if you were hit by frangible rounds, it would delay the healing regen as normal (because it doesn’t affect the healing rate, just the delay before you begin to heal. If you got a kill however, the regen would begin immediately (basically rendering frangible useless in that situation) then again frangible is more so for situations where both players need to heal after being hit. But with frangible, one player will be at a disadvantage, since they still haven’t healed yet. Nevemind, just read from other people that frangible explicitly states that it affects quick fix. I probably shouldn’t have assumed this as I’ve only played WZ 2.0 and DMZ.
Interesting to see quick fix as a trade off for ghost and high alert which I use a lot. I think this perk will benefit objective game modes a lot especially hardpoint. I’m thinking the reason why you able to heal right away while on the hardpoint or on a captured flag in domination, is because those objectives are constantly earning points for your team. Wonder if this works with headquarters as well
Honestly this sounds amazing. I just started playing yesterday, and I like to play OBJ on hard point a lot, but it's hard with that long ass heal time. I use a stim, but then that tends to get me killed cuz I'm not aiming which is frustrating. Glad they have something to reward obj players
Love quick fix, it's on most of my classes. I would like to see stims go back to 2 by default, currently you only get one stim. It would also cut down on the flash spam, more people would choose stim. Atm most people use flashes because of how OP they are especially with how weak battle hardened is.
I have this setup as a perk package called "all-rounder" but have a perk package called "rush" that switches battle-hardened for double-time. If enemies are spamming flashbangs I switch from rush to all-rounder. Recently started using battle rage for the unlimited tac-sprint too. It's insanely effective for mobility, the health regen is a plus. combining stim, battle-rage and quick-fix is a pretty good method to make sure you're always going into a fight (or multiple) with the best chance of surviving.
I love how it takes 7 seconds to call a UAV, something that should feel like a reward for you getting 4 kills without dying, but feels like a punishment because it throws off your flow, and Quick Fix, something that should feel like a punishment to have to use for almost dying, takes 1.3 seconds to get you back to normal health.
Ace, fantastic video once again. I’ve recently came over to your channel from Driftor and I have to say, impeccable content… Thank you & let’s all hope Driftor recovers fully & in his own time.
I’ve swapped between this and high alert and I gotta keep high alert tbh. It’s saved me so many times, being able to dodge immediately and respond makes all the difference, and even if I still die, it makes the super short TTK feel less frustrating. I also love knowing an enemy is facing me before they realise they’re facing me, I’ve had high alert trigger and be able to dodge into a corner and wait for them to round the corner and slap into my bullets because they thought I didn’t know they were there.
Yeah it's good if they don't know you've seen them, but I feel like more often it's just an indicator of where I'm going to die from because of the short ttk
I honestly think high alert should be toned down in that regard to where it triggers if you're being aimed at and not just looking in your direction. Especially with the horrendous spawns in this game
@@arkhammike6423 Just run cold blooded. No need to nerf High Alert when you can run that and also useful for a rushing class because you don't have to be pinned inside a building.

This was an extremely helpful video. I've been using QF perk for a while and love it. However I did notice that when I would go to use my Stim right after winning a gunfight, it seemed like I wasted it because I was already healed. Thanks Ace! I will be running another piece of tactical equipment along with QF perk now!
Absolutely love running fast hands + quick fix for the ultimate rushing class. Sadly it takes a couple of minutes in a match before we can actually utilize it and I doubt we will see Infinity Ward make any changes since it feels like MP is getting the short end of the stick already looking at the Season 1 content (Shipment and Shoot House)
I hope next season will provide us with content in MP I use those perks also, they are so freakin good combined. I see no point in using other ones tbh
@@winssports4830 counter UAV is super easy to destroy though, especially compared to the normal UAV. On most maps it's easily visible floating somewhere in the middle of the map and you can shoot it down with an incredibly low amount of bullets.
I stumbeled into this perk by accident because I'm new and I think the first M4 default setup uses it. I realized quite quickly that this thing triggers in all sorts of situations, when I don't even expect it to. Very nice.
I know you already did a video on ammo types but I'd love to see a video on the tuning of ammo types, specifically high velocity, curious to know how much the tuning affects that and what the optimal setting would be
Excellent idea. Actually the idea of going over tuning is an excellent idea. He could create content for days. Not sure how accurate he can be with the data tho.
quick note about running quick fix alongside stims is because I am typically also running EOD. Quickfix will help me regen from bullet damage. But the reason I am running stims alongside is because it will reset your EOD. If you get damaged by an explosion, EOD won't save you from another one with just regen. A stim will regen you to full (for your next encounter) and reset your EOD.
Will probably be a lot of work, but are you going to be making a video breaking down some of the "duplicate" attachments? Theres so many underbarrels, muzzles, etc. That say they do similar things. I'm wondering if the pros/cons are the same. Or if we definitely shouldnt be using some over others
From my assumption, many attachments due the same but there usually is one duplicate that provides more pro/con when compared to the other. Look at the stat bar when you hover over two. Example, maybe the ads is slower than the other.
I saw stims all the time in MW19, I used to joke that if you took a shot everytime stim was in a deathcam you'd die of alcohol poisoning. Barely see them in MWII though.
Is still insane how XA videos are so MUCH informative than IW themselves. Hell forget reading IW blogs and patch notes when I can watch XA videos and be truthfully informed!
I have been using this on shoothouse. Hardpoint is my favorite game mode so it sounded like the right perk to use. Got 60 kills and over 3 minutes in the hard point. I felt unstoppable
I currently use both because there's situations where a stim can determine a gunfight or the enemy is using those delay healing rounds that do delay quick fix, but not a stim
I go with Ghost on every single class. UAV’s in this game are constantly being spammed, and it’s annoying being killed only because your opponent had an unfair advantage he didn’t even earn.
Do you run suppressors too? I find Ghost is only worth it if you have a suppressed gun as you still show up on the minimap when firing unsuppressed weapons even with ghost.
Ghost doesnt work the way you would think, if you shoot when you have Ghost active during an enemy UAV you still get pinged, I've been running quick fix since I found out about that and haven't seen a point to change back until they change the way Ghost works
@@MartyMcfly-mf2bl often times, yeah. But even without one i find it’s nice that they don’t automatically know i’m there unless i’m firing. If they’re close enough to see me on the map, they’re close enough to hear unsuppressed gunfire anyway
Damn they definitely stealth-buffed stims from the beta to the full release. I remember trying them out in the beta and feeling like it took years to heal
I love quick fix but simply cant justify not having ghost, especially since so many people run it, if you're the only one without ghost as soon as a uav goes up you're getting hunted down instantly.
This is so true, players are using the UAV for the 1st half and in turn 2nd half. In the 2nd half players will listen for footsteps to find Ghost players who move. It is a neon sign asking for death.
I've been running QF 90% of the game. Realized how strong it was when running specialist in 2019. How I miss specialist. But most kills I take damage and more often than not there's an enemy close so it's a huge help with double kills and those 3 w/o dying. But being on that hardpoint, QF is actually OP. I took 3 nades and a launcher shot in like 10-12 seconds the other day while on the point. It also allowed me to drop the stim and run that OP flash grenade.
This perk would be my favourite but as long as the UAV spam is as bad as it is i feel like Ghost is a must have. I fare noticeably better with that equipped
Doesn't really work tbh I checked it in a public match and found the enemy used battle rage and still died to me the same way I believe they nerfed tht field upgrade
@@goldenwolf_gamingYT It does stack and it varies on the weapon you are shot by, if it's any S tier weapon of course it wont make a difference but if you miss 1 or 2 shots you're going to have to put in way more bullets, don't know the exact numbers but I usually am at full health around .5 seconds.
quick fix is now my crutch perk being an extremely aggressive obj player and I find that it doesn't cause me to win gunfights i had no right winning but it does give me that extra bump like you said maybe a shot extra to kill. What I find to be the most frequent use is getting a single kill and after that fight you were damaged so heading directly into another fight is asking for death so quick fix gives that bump in regen start speed for the next engagement which is almost always a life saver. Stims are a great tool to have but with quick fix I noticed it wasn't being used nearly as much so it's only on my ghost class from now on.
I know this could just be me but why does it feel like it doesn't work sometimes? Also u think they should boost the amount of time it takes to regenerate health without quick fix because it feels like it takes way too long considering the TTK in this game
@@fuzzynuttz5092 he literally explains how it works you immediately start healing with a kill but when you’re on a objective it just boosts the healing speed rate
@@cxmxqx no I already knew that but sometimes it feels like for both kills and objective play it doesn't work, but then again it could just be that people are using that one ammunition where it delays your enemies regenration
Quick Fix is my favorite. That sound cue and icon you get when you get the kill, makes playing aggressively that much more satisfying and rewarding…there’s not a lot of that in this game
I love this and high alert. As a rusher, I swear high alert is better than in other CODs. It saves my life over and over since I'm on PC and can just whip around on em xD.
Been using quick fix ever since I unlocked it. Used to be a high alert fan, but in MWII it felt like it wasn't helping me as much as I used to feel like it was. Tried quick fix and loved it, esp as an objective style player
So, stims let you immediately tactical sprint. I run a sword and shield class (shield and knife). I use stims to heal behind the shield and to run faster with the knife. Quick fix means I can run up to somebody, tank a half dozen bullets, stab them, and immediately heal. I've survived being stuck by thermite with these once by stimming shortly after getting my kill. It's a damn good perk.
You’re giving away my secret man! Lol Honestly though, when I read the description for QF, I had to try it! And yes, it’s saved my ass SO many times! All I play on MW2 is DOM and Hardpoint and I’m pretty true to playing the objective! I run a TAQ-56 with armor piercing, sharkfin and laser; and I use the “battle hardened” perks along with fast hands and quick fix and it’s EASILY the best setup I’ve probably ever used in a CoD game! That TAQ-56 is a destroyer with armor piercing rounds. My setup is about as close to perfect as I think you can get for the modes I play! If I’m ON an objective and on my game, I can take out 3-4 guys before I get blasted from behind and that’s WHILE taking damage!
I think it's balanced because somebody with Ghost can kill you before noticing his presence making Quick Fix pointless... which would not be possible with High Alert, which would make Ghost pointless... which might still be useless vs a Birdseye that already knew you were looking in a convenient direction before turning that corner that would trigger High Alert too late... I love all of them, including Survivor, though that is more nitche. I try to switch them every now and then to play differently.
Quick fix is crazy good. It’s so good I can’t run a class without it. Reminds me of the older cods with stopping power. Where making a class without it puts you at a huge disadvantage.
Read a reddit comment professing his undying love for this perk, scoffed at it (because Tracker is basically an advanced UAV for the whole game sometimes), changed it to this to test though and had one of my best games ever the very first match. Now its on the table, but still hurts leaving off Ghost in big team, and I still like Tracker if I'm playing slower
In mw19 I always used stim + restock. Rarely used quick fix. But this time around I’ve noticed quick fix being a lot more competitive and switching out restock for fast hands!
been running quick fix instead of ghost for the past couple weeks and it's honestly just so much better. with suppressors being bugged anyways, I felt ghost was not as useful. now i'm never going back unless they change the suppressors.
From the description I always assumed that objectives would not affect the delay before health regen starts but would increase the speed of health regen
been maining quick fix ever since it was introduced into the franchise with mw2019, it was already good then and was fairly underrated. now its even better imo. perfect perk for rush playstyle
The bad thing is that in this game any damage will cancel your regeneration for around 5 secs. It means that if you get hit while regenerating you basically lose the regen potential you had. I think they should change it so you keep regenerating for the amount you supposed to regen, let's say you had 30 HP when quick fix kicks in so you have 70 HP to regen, then you get shot while at 60 HP post-quick fix so you used 30 out of the 70 HP you had to regen, which means you should still regenerate 40 HP, leaving you at 60 - shot damage (lets say 30, so 60 - 30 = 30) + 40, resulting in this hipotetical case in 70 HP. The way the game is now you would be left with 30 HP and no regen. As an aggressive player I'm leaning more towards High Alert/Ghost (depending on how often the enemy team is getting their UAVs) and Stims, unless it's hardpoint, then I always go for Quick Fix since it behaves as I think it should.
I personally use Stim + Quick Fix as they fill different rolls in my eyes. Stim helps me get back into the fight way quicker if I lose a peak challenge but survive or I get an assist which doesn't trigger quick fix. For sure have thrown enemies for a loop who have pushed thinking I'd be low hp for those 7s and instead find me full health when they push the corner or I repeek.
the main problem with this is that stims become way less useful when quick fix comes online, and who wants to change the tactical mid match every match
Quick Fix is so great... Scavenger and either Battle Hardened, Bomb Squad, Extra Tactical or Overkill.. 2nd tier usually Fast Hands, but Hardline, Resupply or Cold Blooded are also great.
Stim Shots have been my clutch in COD for a couple of years now although I feel like in previous games, they recharged without an extra perk rather than MWII where you only get one per life
Red jelly bug isn't specific to custom games. If you take damage and proceed to not move at all the jelly stays until you move. I believe moving around during testing would resolve this issue.
My current go-to setup is restock, quick fix, drill charge and stim. I like the ability to hop behind cover and quickly heal during a gunfight to then immediately hop back in at full health. Once I get to kill quick fix heals me right up. It's a bit of a bummer to have to wait for a quick fix to be unlocked at the start of a match.
I still like running stims on the same class as Quick Fix sometimes because of the terrible perk system where you don't even have Quick Fix active for the first half of the match. Helps keep my class a little bit more consistent
Same. Another reason to run both is those times where you back out of a gun fight you weren't gonna win barely escaping with your life and you know you're about to get pushed. Quick fix works only when you get a kill in the latter half of the match, stims work whenever so long as you have one on hand which is very frequently.
I remember somebody telling me stims are bad. If they can heal you fully before the animation is done, that's not bad at all lmao! Unfortunately, I have to stick with ghost atm, simply because of people like me who spam the hell out of UAVs. IMO Information has much more value and is a greater threat for people who can utilize it. But I do have to say I am very impressed in the perk balance of this game. It's hard choosing a perk setup if you want to play more than one style at a time.
- Can you stack Stim and Quick Fix? - Does Stim or Quick Fix influence how long it takes for 5.56 Frangible bullets, with their wounding effect? - Does Quick Fix work until you reach 100 health or does it give you a round 100 health back? Same with Stim? (for example if you get shot down to 50, then while healing, does your health still go back up, or does it stop at the time of being hit a second time?) - Does Quick Fix double in speed of recovery when you get a collateral? - Does Quick Fix work while AI killstreaks are killing (VTOL, Sentry, ETC)? I know these are questions for DefendtheHouse, but if you have any insight that would be great!
If the shooter is using Frangible rounds it’s seems to slow the healing speed to 7 seconds, the Quick Fix perk doesn’t start healing until around 5 seconds. This correlates with the ammunition guide Ace did stating that Frangible rounds add 5 seconds to healing time.
Quick Fix is the way to go for sure in objective modes. I don't care about K/D at all and usually end up in the top 3 across both teams by defending that hard point. 5-7k points with few kills, depending on how contested it gets.
I've not watched the video yet but my favorite thing about quick fix is that you spend less time with the "injured" sound, which makes it hard if not impossible to hear footsteps
I adore Quick Fix. Me being… ahem… kinda bad ad CoD, I take damage in my gunfights 99% of the time, so when I do manage to coke out on top having my health start regenerating immediately is such a nice perk to have once it’s unlocked.
Quick fix or any similar healing perk has always been feast or famine in my opinion. You're either playing aggressively and it becomes extremely useful for survivability, or you play passively and it ends up taking the place of a more useful perk. It's definitely one of the best to use if it fits your playstyle, but it isn't a must use type of perk that could cause balance problems.
For me high alert is the best because it helps me to counter those campers Dealing with the campers in this game is more torture than the campers in MW2019 because there I could slide cancel to dodge the bullets.
Stims + Resupply + extra tactical for invasion and ground war modes. Plenty of ammo stations around that also refill tacticals. Stims and Drill Charges.
The description makes it wound like objectives dint affect the delay at all, but that constant healing on the hardpoint sold me the perk. No kore birds eye i guess
I found this really helpful when I played a game of HQ on shoothouse and was able to defend the HQ and mow down the enemy team while being shot. They just kept comin and got a quad kill (not a feed), but did survive a good amount of dmg and just healed up. I like it better than Ghost now cuz in those moments its helpful and for the first half of the match I don't have ghost so might as well just deal with no ghost on.
It’s powerful but it has to be to compete with ghost. Honestly all of the third perks should be this good 1) to take people off of ghost 2) because you have to get almost halfway through the game to actually have it
I have been using the high alert perk so far. Pretty handy to know in advance which direction are you going to see yourself from in the killcam.

I realized quite quickly that this thing triggers in all sorts of situations, when I don't even expect it to. Very nice.
I know you already did a video on ammo types but I'd love to see a video on the tuning of ammo types, specifically high velocity, curious to know how much the tuning affects that and what the optimal setting would be
With the ammo types those one you usually want to max out the slider. You don’t do that with the attachments only the ammo types
Excellent idea. Actually the idea of going over tuning is an excellent idea. He could create content for days. Not sure how accurate he can be with the data tho.
quick note about running quick fix alongside stims is because I am typically also running EOD. Quickfix will help me regen from bullet damage. But the reason I am running stims alongside is because it will reset your EOD. If you get damaged by an explosion, EOD won't save you from another one with just regen. A stim will regen you to full (for your next encounter) and reset your EOD.
Will probably be a lot of work, but are you going to be making a video breaking down some of the "duplicate" attachments? Theres so many underbarrels, muzzles, etc. That say they do similar things. I'm wondering if the pros/cons are the same. Or if we definitely shouldnt be using some over others
Without the hard numbers, it'll be difficult just to test them all, and that's not even including tuning.
He replied to a comment asking this on another video. Too much time and work involved, unfortunately.
From my assumption, many attachments due the same but there usually is one duplicate that provides more pro/con when compared to the other. Look at the stat bar when you hover over two. Example, maybe the ads is slower than the other.
I saw stims all the time in MW19, I used to joke that if you took a shot everytime stim was in a deathcam you'd die of alcohol poisoning. Barely see them in MWII though.
Quick fix was my most crutch perk on mw2019 hate the fact i have to wait till midway through the game to get the perk that rewards my playstyle
Is still insane how XA videos are so MUCH informative than IW themselves. Hell forget reading IW blogs and patch notes when I can watch XA videos and be truthfully informed!
Lobely times in the beta with quick fix and Birdseye ❤️
Yea but now we get fast hands + quick fix, I run this combo on every class
@@Vinseenit me too cause it's necessary. This perk system is so flawed
I have been using this on shoothouse. Hardpoint is my favorite game mode so it sounded like the right perk to use. Got 60 kills and over 3 minutes in the hard point. I felt unstoppable
I currently use both because there's situations where a stim can determine a gunfight or the enemy is using those delay healing rounds that do delay quick fix, but not a stim
Same I use both. quick fix is my crutch perk in this game I have both stims and quick fix on every class.
quick fix stim battle rage
A tier list of perks would be highly appreciated mate.
I go with Ghost on every single class.
UAV’s in this game are constantly being spammed, and it’s annoying being killed only because your opponent had an unfair advantage he didn’t even earn.
Idk if it still is but ghost was broken and not working properly, quick fix is a life saver tho
Do you run suppressors too? I find Ghost is only worth it if you have a suppressed gun as you still show up on the minimap when firing unsuppressed weapons even with ghost.
Run a PILA launcher with Fast Hands and Quick Fix and keep shooting down UAVs.
Ghost doesnt work the way you would think, if you shoot when you have Ghost active during an enemy UAV you still get pinged, I've been running quick fix since I found out about that and haven't seen a point to change back until they change the way Ghost works
@@MartyMcfly-mf2bl often times, yeah. But even without one i find it’s nice that they don’t automatically know i’m there unless i’m firing. If they’re close enough to see me on the map, they’re close enough to hear unsuppressed gunfire anyway
quick fix makes being an objective player so rewarding. it's ridiculous how good of a perk it is especially in hard point
How about that frangible or whatever ammo type that delays regen ? Does it negate Quick Fix ?
Frangible rounds just add 5 seconds flat to all healing. So if it takes 2 seconds it’s now 7, and if it’s 7 it’s now 12.
@@Juliocubed thanks, makes sense !
Damn they definitely stealth-buffed stims from the beta to the full release. I remember trying them out in the beta and feeling like it took years to heal
I love quick fix but simply cant justify not having ghost, especially since so many people run it, if you're the only one without ghost as soon as a uav goes up you're getting hunted down instantly.
This is so true, players are using the UAV for the 1st half and in turn 2nd half. In the 2nd half players will listen for footsteps to find Ghost players who move.
It is a neon sign asking for death.
I've been running QF 90% of the game. Realized how strong it was when running specialist in 2019. How I miss specialist. But most kills I take damage and more often than not there's an enemy close so it's a huge help with double kills and those 3 w/o dying. But being on that hardpoint, QF is actually OP. I took 3 nades and a launcher shot in like 10-12 seconds the other day while on the point. It also allowed me to drop the stim and run that OP flash grenade.
I was hoping you’d test wounding rounds in this context, I wonder if they counter quick fix at all
I really wish I knew how to test this. I have no idea how to set up a precise timer, I guess I would need to record?
@@Scroolewse CODCaster private match and two friends or a friend and second console, not hard
@@xzeuii so upload the video then
Quick fix is the shit. This perk saved me to many times especially for those double/triple kills. Keep the great vids coming Ace. 💯
I'm all about high alert. Quick TTK and slow ADS/Sprint Out speeds.... Feels like I get twice as much time to react
Until someone is pre-aiming cause they heard your footsteps, or when a sniper ADS's just as fast as an smg lmao
@@Yayswan Or Cold Blooded
This perk would be my favourite but as long as the UAV spam is as bad as it is i feel like Ghost is a must have. I fare noticeably better with that equipped
I wonder if the health regeneration from Battle Rage stacks with quick fix.
🤔
Doesn't really work tbh I checked it in a public match and found the enemy used battle rage and still died to me the same way I believe they nerfed tht field upgrade
How do I change my @
@@goldenwolf_gamingYT It does stack and it varies on the weapon you are shot by, if it's any S tier weapon of course it wont make a difference but if you miss 1 or 2 shots you're going to have to put in way more bullets, don't know the exact numbers but I usually am at full health around .5 seconds.
It does
quick fix is now my crutch perk being an extremely aggressive obj player and I find that it doesn't cause me to win gunfights i had no right winning but it does give me that extra bump like you said maybe a shot extra to kill. What I find to be the most frequent use is getting a single kill and after that fight you were damaged so heading directly into another fight is asking for death so quick fix gives that bump in regen start speed for the next engagement which is almost always a life saver. Stims are a great tool to have but with quick fix I noticed it wasn't being used nearly as much so it's only on my ghost class from now on.
I know this could just be me but why does it feel like it doesn't work sometimes? Also u think they should boost the amount of time it takes to regenerate health without quick fix because it feels like it takes way too long considering the TTK in this game
just use quick fix
@@cxmxqx yea I do I use it on every class it's just sometimes it feels like it doesn't work at times but yea overall it's my favorite ultimate perk
@@fuzzynuttz5092 he literally explains how it works
you immediately start healing with a kill but when you’re on a objective it just boosts the healing speed rate
@@cxmxqx no I already knew that but sometimes it feels like for both kills and objective play it doesn't work, but then again it could just be that people are using that one ammunition where it delays your enemies regenration
Quick Fix is my favorite. That sound cue and icon you get when you get the kill, makes playing aggressively that much more satisfying and rewarding…there’s not a lot of that in this game
Ace the type of guy to enlist in the military and ask the colonel how he can equip his perks
"The patch notes for the XM5 claim increased damage and penetration, but in my testing the number of shots to kill is unchanged"
I love this and high alert. As a rusher, I swear high alert is better than in other CODs. It saves my life over and over since I'm on PC and can just whip around on em xD.
Been using quick fix ever since I unlocked it. Used to be a high alert fan, but in MWII it felt like it wasn't helping me as much as I used to feel like it was. Tried quick fix and loved it, esp as an objective style player
So, stims let you immediately tactical sprint. I run a sword and shield class (shield and knife). I use stims to heal behind the shield and to run faster with the knife. Quick fix means I can run up to somebody, tank a half dozen bullets, stab them, and immediately heal. I've survived being stuck by thermite with these once by stimming shortly after getting my kill. It's a damn good perk.
You’re giving away my secret man! Lol
Honestly though, when I read the description for QF, I had to try it! And yes, it’s saved my ass SO many times! All I play on MW2 is DOM and Hardpoint and I’m pretty true to playing the objective!
I run a TAQ-56 with armor piercing, sharkfin and laser; and I use the “battle hardened” perks along with fast hands and quick fix and it’s EASILY the best setup I’ve probably ever used in a CoD game! That TAQ-56 is a destroyer with armor piercing rounds. My setup is about as close to perfect as I think you can get for the modes I play! If I’m ON an objective and on my game, I can take out 3-4 guys before I get blasted from behind and that’s WHILE taking damage!
I think it's balanced because somebody with Ghost can kill you before noticing his presence making Quick Fix pointless... which would not be possible with High Alert, which would make Ghost pointless... which might still be useless vs a Birdseye that already knew you were looking in a convenient direction before turning that corner that would trigger High Alert too late... I love all of them, including Survivor, though that is more nitche. I try to switch them every now and then to play differently.
If you're using Survivor then you deserve to be relentlessly T-Bagged every single time you die.
The only reason I didn't have quick fix on all the time in MW19 was because EOD was mandatory for surviving the first seven second of a match.
Quick fix is crazy good. It’s so good I can’t run a class without it. Reminds me of the older cods with stopping power. Where making a class without it puts you at a huge disadvantage.
Read a reddit comment professing his undying love for this perk, scoffed at it (because Tracker is basically an advanced UAV for the whole game sometimes), changed it to this to test though and had one of my best games ever the very first match. Now its on the table, but still hurts leaving off Ghost in big team, and I still like Tracker if I'm playing slower
In mw19 I always used stim + restock. Rarely used quick fix. But this time around I’ve noticed quick fix being a lot more competitive and switching out restock for fast hands!
been running quick fix instead of ghost for the past couple weeks and it's honestly just so much better. with suppressors being bugged anyways, I felt ghost was not as useful. now i'm never going back unless they change the suppressors.
From the description I always assumed that objectives would not affect the delay before health regen starts but would increase the speed of health regen
been maining quick fix ever since it was introduced into the franchise with mw2019, it was already good then and was fairly underrated. now its even better imo. perfect perk for rush playstyle
The bad thing is that in this game any damage will cancel your regeneration for around 5 secs. It means that if you get hit while regenerating you basically lose the regen potential you had. I think they should change it so you keep regenerating for the amount you supposed to regen, let's say you had 30 HP when quick fix kicks in so you have 70 HP to regen, then you get shot while at 60 HP post-quick fix so you used 30 out of the 70 HP you had to regen, which means you should still regenerate 40 HP, leaving you at 60 - shot damage (lets say 30, so 60 - 30 = 30) + 40, resulting in this hipotetical case in 70 HP. The way the game is now you would be left with 30 HP and no regen. As an aggressive player I'm leaning more towards High Alert/Ghost (depending on how often the enemy team is getting their UAVs) and Stims, unless it's hardpoint, then I always go for Quick Fix since it behaves as I think it should.
Best perk in the game hands down. I don't even have ghost setup on any of my perk classes.
quickfix has been op since mw2019 im glad to see it finally getting recognition
I personally use Stim + Quick Fix as they fill different rolls in my eyes. Stim helps me get back into the fight way quicker if I lose a peak challenge but survive or I get an assist which doesn't trigger quick fix. For sure have thrown enemies for a loop who have pushed thinking I'd be low hp for those 7s and instead find me full health when they push the corner or I repeek.
Double tactical(for 2 stims) and Battle hardened->Fast hands->Quick fix, best perk package for aggressive play no contest
Does battle hardened work that well? Ive been eunning extra tac & double time
Fsst hands, ghost
@@woody5581 cuts down the effects from tacticals but doesn't just nullify them,its far better than nothing,the flash in this game is ridiculous
Stuns and quick fix are just right right where they are.
Quick fix is so good that I don't want to try the others and I know things like birds eye are good
the main problem with this is that stims become way less useful when quick fix comes online, and who wants to change the tactical mid match every match
What’s the interaction between quickfix and getting shot with frangible bullets? Is the regen delayed or is it istantaneous after a kill?
Quick Fix is so great...
Scavenger and either Battle Hardened, Bomb Squad, Extra Tactical or Overkill..
2nd tier usually Fast Hands, but Hardline, Resupply or Cold Blooded are also great.
Stims have a limited use. Quick fix has been my go-to perk, and has saved me lots of times. I haven't even bother to try ghost.
the ultimate perks have to be kind of op to deter people from ghost
Price in the campaign to Shepherd: "And who fixes you, Eh?"
Shepherd...Probably: "Quick Fix."
Stim is the only thing that saves me from the hordes of bots in DMZ, definitely a must have
Stim Shots have been my clutch in COD for a couple of years now although I feel like in previous games, they recharged without an extra perk rather than MWII where you only get one per life
Red jelly bug isn't specific to custom games. If you take damage and proceed to not move at all the jelly stays until you move. I believe moving around during testing would resolve this issue.
My current go-to setup is restock, quick fix, drill charge and stim. I like the ability to hop behind cover and quickly heal during a gunfight to then immediately hop back in at full health. Once I get to kill quick fix heals me right up. It's a bit of a bummer to have to wait for a quick fix to be unlocked at the start of a match.
Yeah I use cold blooded and ghost because people spam UAV and high alert so much
I still like running stims on the same class as Quick Fix sometimes because of the terrible perk system where you don't even have Quick Fix active for the first half of the match. Helps keep my class a little bit more consistent
Same. Another reason to run both is those times where you back out of a gun fight you weren't gonna win barely escaping with your life and you know you're about to get pushed. Quick fix works only when you get a kill in the latter half of the match, stims work whenever so long as you have one on hand which is very frequently.
I remember somebody telling me stims are bad. If they can heal you fully before the animation is done, that's not bad at all lmao! Unfortunately, I have to stick with ghost atm, simply because of people like me who spam the hell out of UAVs. IMO Information has much more value and is a greater threat for people who can utilize it.
But I do have to say I am very impressed in the perk balance of this game. It's hard choosing a perk setup if you want to play more than one style at a time.
Hey Ace some weird black screens in the control section FYI
- Can you stack Stim and Quick Fix?
- Does Stim or Quick Fix influence how long it takes for 5.56 Frangible bullets, with their wounding effect?
- Does Quick Fix work until you reach 100 health or does it give you a round 100 health back? Same with Stim? (for example if you get shot down to 50, then while healing, does your health still go back up, or does it stop at the time of being hit a second time?)
- Does Quick Fix double in speed of recovery when you get a collateral?
- Does Quick Fix work while AI killstreaks are killing (VTOL, Sentry, ETC)?
I know these are questions for DefendtheHouse, but if you have any insight that would be great!
If the shooter is using Frangible rounds it’s seems to slow the healing speed to 7 seconds, the Quick Fix perk doesn’t start healing until around 5 seconds. This correlates with the ammunition guide Ace did stating that Frangible rounds add 5 seconds to healing time.
Quick Fix is the way to go for sure in objective modes. I don't care about K/D at all and usually end up in the top 3 across both teams by defending that hard point. 5-7k points with few kills, depending on how contested it gets.
I've not watched the video yet but my favorite thing about quick fix is that you spend less time with the "injured" sound, which makes it hard if not impossible to hear footsteps
Just wanted to say thanks for all the videos. I didn't think you could out do all your mw2019 coverage and try somehow you have. Appreciate you
I adore Quick Fix. Me being… ahem… kinda bad ad CoD, I take damage in my gunfights 99% of the time, so when I do manage to coke out on top having my health start regenerating immediately is such a nice perk to have once it’s unlocked.
Quick fix or any similar healing perk has always been feast or famine in my opinion. You're either playing aggressively and it becomes extremely useful for survivability, or you play passively and it ends up taking the place of a more useful perk. It's definitely one of the best to use if it fits your playstyle, but it isn't a must use type of perk that could cause balance problems.
I've been running quick fix non stop, only time I switched was for high alert on my riot shield class
ace deserves an honorary doctorate in gaming science , call of duty focus
I've been running this constantly. Its the best as it allows you to survive better right after a fire fight.
It's the only ultimate perk I use, and I didn't even know objectives could trigger regen as well
It’s like windshield wipers for the raspberry jam accumulating in my eyeballs!
For me high alert is the best because it helps me to counter those campers
Dealing with the campers in this game is more torture than the campers in MW2019 because there I could slide cancel to dodge the bullets.
Stims + Resupply + extra tactical for invasion and ground war modes. Plenty of ammo stations around that also refill tacticals. Stims and Drill Charges.
I use QF and stim. Stim is useful when you're losing a fight and want to repeek. QF just keeps you up and makes streaking more consistent for me.
The description makes it wound like objectives dint affect the delay at all, but that constant healing on the hardpoint sold me the perk. No kore birds eye i guess
I found this really helpful when I played a game of HQ on shoothouse and was able to defend the HQ and mow down the enemy team while being shot. They just kept comin and got a quad kill (not a feed), but did survive a good amount of dmg and just healed up.
I like it better than Ghost now cuz in those moments its helpful and for the first half of the match I don't have ghost so might as well just deal with no ghost on.
I am an objective based player and use quick fix and stims. Thanks for the vid.
Been using quick fix for a while and it makes the game play so much better
It’s powerful but it has to be to compete with ghost. Honestly all of the third perks should be this good 1) to take people off of ghost 2) because you have to get almost halfway through the game to actually have it
