Thanks Ace! As always you deliver. The r3k is my favorite AR right now and I've learned a lot from this video. I usually run the spearhead variant with elo sight, foregrip for that added precision, QuickDraw and that works out great for me.
at 10:36 it says "sprinout"😮 but seriously I don't even want to know hoch much time it took you to make this video with all the handtested stats etc. Great work ace
Loving these videos Ace. The "in depth" part of this really comes through in the extra informational tidbits you provide, such as the comparison of the epic variant with the Volk. Your hard work is much appreciated!
im stoked that you are still covering IW and cod in general. I hate that so many people hate this game. Im really enjoying it. not the best cod ever, but still fun.
Very well done video, thorough yet to the point and without fluff. Also like how you mention how these weapons perform in hard core. That's something a lot of people overlook. Some guns that are great in core are terrible in HC and vice versa nice to see the HC community included in these guides. Really liking this series so far hope you keep it going. Must be pretty time consuming to do all the testing but it is really helpful to CoD junkies like me so big thanks for these vids.
Continuing the quality of gun guide ep 1, insane levels of detail. Awesome work Ace. And now supported by the Infinity Ward developers themselves on Twitter I see. Good news all round then!
I only started using the gun when I completed the wolverine missions. I'll have to try the other variants.. Thanks and keep up the awesome job you do...
Rewatching the gun guides for this game since i watched all the WW2 gun guides so far (Sten guide just came out) and its weird how much i remember. I remembered that 432ms 4-shot kill time for some odd reason, and i never used the R3K in the first place.
Ace, love your vids. Just a quick note, it may statistically not make a difference for headshots to have the faraday slug but for whatever reason it does help immensely with getting those headshots. I tried both and it was waaaaaaay easier with the F-Slug.
You should make it the norm to have your recommended attachment setup at the end of every episode. Also, what is your favorite attachment setup for the NV4 since you didn't cover that last episode, I'd reeeally like to know.
Cris Gale it's different for every weapon, some attachments that are bad on one weapon are good on others, it's pretty much always been like this in cod and many other games =3
Idk if they buffed the vulture but its so good now. Like it literally goes after you for a while if you kill the person who has it and it's hard as shit to kill.
thanks for the video ace. next time could you show us the reload speed of the base gun vs a variant that has readiness? just curious to see the difference. if not whatever.
I got the R3KT in a drop... I actually like it and do well with it. Very accurate with the variable site zoomed in, and I like having the extra ammo. Admittedly, I haven't played much with the Volk, so I can't really compare the two very well, I but I do tend to favor accuracy, and since I tend to aim at center mass, the straight up kick works in my favor. :D
r3kt is my favorite gun at the moment. I have the volk corruption as well and I love that too. So cool to see dollar bills pop out of enemies bodies when i kill them just like modern warfare 3. Wish I knew how much bonus xp I was getting with it tho.
Oddly enough I have every variant but the nuke one. I like the gambit, red dot quick draw and silencer. Any other attachment it adds is bonus. That way I can run 4 perks and a pistol
Hey there Ace ,great vid ,been struggling to get headshots with the base Rek but just used the counterbalance and having more success so thanks , ps how do u change your reticule to blue ,or is it an unlock/quartermaster drop?
R3KT vs Volk sprintout times? If the R3KT has normal AR sprintout, normal AR ads time, and the Volk is worse on both, that gives the R3KT a huge edge in practical ttk in most situations, given its superior accuracy.
The rough hard stats (which do have some inaccuracies) are saying the Volk has a slower sprintout time than the other ARs at 350ms. I thoroughly hand tested this and it has the exact same sprintout time as the other ARs at 150ms. I even double and triple checked since I was skeptical.
I really like the R3k. It feels smooth to me. I use the base variant mainly because I don't have any other variants for it. And the red dot sight and quickdraw is all I need for it. Maybe I should go for the Counterbalance and Spearhead.
Ace, given the significant recoil increase on the spearhead, do you recommend a grip when using that specific variant to counter the recoil increase? Thanks.
Would the R3KT benefit from having Faraday slug on it since the range is reduced to 30m for the 3 shot kills? You said after the 3 shot kill range is where it is beneficial, so wouldn't this be the exception when it comes to this attachment?
TheXclusiveAce OK, I feel stupid now lol. I'll leave the comparisons to you :D... Would love a video on snipers or a snipers guide or something. Keep up the good shit!
Hey Ace, will scrambler also hide you from the radar after a kill? If so, scrambler seems like it would be good to help hide you from the radar without having to use a sniper.
anyone know what to spend my salvage on i have 4000 i already have nv4 epic and raw epic i dont like shorguns or snipers or the volk epic so what should i buy
james lopex Don't listen to them, spend it on the best variant for the gun you use the 3rd most. It also doesn't have to be the epic variant either. You're welcome.
hey ace . i play competatief Cod but it looks like my reaction time is really low is there a way to improve my reaction time on IW ( ur BO3 guide was verry useful) thanks and keep going
He live streams almost daily for 3 hours and plays with viewers frequently. Thats your chance! (XB1 and PS4) Check his Twitch Channel www.twitch.tv/thexclusiveace
Thats ok, he mainly plays PS4 for IW most days. Expect a varied schedule over christmas as he takes a break, but other than that, follow him on Twitter for when he goes live and get in a lobby or 2. Its great fun!
Hey Ace, I got the R3Kt in a drop. Been playing with it and like you said its like a more accurate version of the VOLK. I threw on the long barrel and have been beating a lot of assault rifles at long range. Do you know the stats?
Awesome, I didn't know if it had its own bonus because it was epic. Also I appreciate the fast response, I'll have to prime sub to your twitch and add to that beer fund! Do you have a schedule for the stream?
C. Storm I'd appreciate it! I normally stream daily starting around 5PM est but its been a bit more sporadic lately with the holidays. Normal time for the stream today though
+TheXclusiveAce What's your take on using Faraday Slug with the R3K Spearhead in TTDM? I'm using stock, QD and Rifled Barrel (Particle Amp?) atm. In your video you said the Foregrip could be used with some advantages with the Spearhead, but my own testing shows it's a total waste of attachment. Comments on this?
Anyone know why R3K still hitmarkers on occassion in Hardcore? Was running the Counterbalance with a silencer, and noticed if I sprayed at a target who was jumping through the air(perpendicular to me) I got a hitmarker and had to fire a second burst. I even have a 9-streak clip with 2 instances of this, really confusing on a gun that does 30 damage minimum in a gamemode that has 30 hitpoints maximum.
I like the wasteland i get another 6 bullets in there and by the time i reach those my fusion mag made me another 5-8 bursts so honestly it just allows me to keep rushing for feeds and stuff the r3kt is mediocre in my opinion the normal r3k is so much better and you can also get nukes with it so thats always a +
I disagree Ace you need the Faraday slug with this weapon. Seems stronger with it than without. I also disagree and think the Eclipse variant is the best version of this weapon. Maybe its just me because Im on Xb1
Statistically, it's going to take you the exact same number of shots to kill a full health enemy with or without Faraday Slug. What you're experiencing is pure placebo and it's causing you to waste an attachment unnecessarily. It may seem stronger but other attachments/perks ARE stronger.
Congrats on 200k! Well deserved 😃
DanBeforeTime i keep thinking he has more subs. but he will get there.
The R3K is probably my favourite AR since the buff
now that's called indepth.
harryplayscod124 taking his market share
Thanks Ace! As always you deliver. The r3k is my favorite AR right now and I've learned a lot from this video. I usually run the spearhead variant with elo sight, foregrip for that added precision, QuickDraw and that works out great for me.
Very happy you picked up this series. You have a great way of presenting hard core stats with visual representation.
at 10:36 it says "sprinout"😮
but seriously I don't even want to know hoch much time it took you to make this video with all the handtested stats etc. Great work ace
+Jan Evers no matter how careful I seem to be, something small like that usually finds a way to get by me 😂
TheXclusiveAce also, at 5:18 viewkick is spelled wrong. very good episode, though!
Dude, . . u put in wrk. . . best videos by far. . . very usefull.
Loving these videos Ace. The "in depth" part of this really comes through in the extra informational tidbits you provide, such as the comparison of the epic variant with the Volk. Your hard work is much appreciated!
Loving this series already, keep going
im stoked that you are still covering IW and cod in general. I hate that so many people hate this game. Im really enjoying it. not the best cod ever, but still fun.

Continuing the quality of gun guide ep 1, insane levels of detail. Awesome work Ace. And now supported by the Infinity Ward developers themselves on Twitter I see. Good news all round then!
Just bought this game and this channel is awesome. So much info. I always watched driftor and this is just as good.
At least I'll have one RUclipsr for MWR and IW for I have a feeling I'm going to enjoy both. Great work Ace
I only started using the gun when I completed the wolverine missions. I'll have to try the other variants.. Thanks and keep up the awesome job you do...
love your videos ace. keep it up ✔
Another really well done episode. Keep these up, Ace. They're awesome and just what players need for this terribly neglected game.
I wish Titanfall 2 community had someone like you, that guide is so fvckin detailed man :)
Great stuff, Ace. Always enjoy your in-depth videos! Keep it up!
200K HYPE!!!! 💯💯
Rewatching the gun guides for this game since i watched all the WW2 gun guides so far (Sten guide just came out) and its weird how much i remember. I remembered that 432ms 4-shot kill time for some odd reason, and i never used the R3K in the first place.
Good shit Ace! Loving the content and all the effort put into your videos
I like drifters videos and all but tbh u seem to put a lot more detail and information into your face n guides keep up the good work
200,000 subs!! Loving this gun guide series Ace
Please hurry up with the rest of these, love these gun guides
Very helpful. The R3K is one of my last AR's to Gold.
Ace, love your vids. Just a quick note, it may statistically not make a difference for headshots to have the faraday slug but for whatever reason it does help immensely with getting those headshots. I tried both and it was waaaaaaay easier with the F-Slug.
Palms placebo
You're doing a great job with this, keep it up :)
Love the new series Ace still missing In Depth though
You should make it the norm to have your recommended attachment setup at the end of every episode. Also, what is your favorite attachment setup for the NV4 since you didn't cover that last episode, I'd reeeally like to know.
I like to use R3K with: Fusion mag, Quickdraw and stock with Reflex
I really hate infinity Ward for making useless attachments
Cris Gale Infinite Ward ha
Cris Gale it's different for every weapon, some attachments that are bad on one weapon are good on others, it's pretty much always been like this in cod and many other games =3
The R3kt feels alway feels so much nicer to use than the volk now I understand y because of the predictable recoil
Great vid as always and congrats on 200k! I have a question though, are kontrolfreeks worth it?
great job ACE
Great video, I was about to buy de R3KT but now that I know the stats I won´t and probably get the Mammoth. Thanks!
Idk if they buffed the vulture but its so good now. Like it literally goes after you for a while if you kill the person who has it and it's hard as shit to kill.
you now my fave cod you tuber since driftor nem fell back.... please do all the guns.... and thanks for not switching up...
Congrats on 200k Ace!!!!!!! :)
My dream burst fire variant for the R3K would be one that makes it shoot through walls and reduces idle sway.
good info. thanks Ace!
Yo, Ace! The R3K is an energy weapon, so there's no shooting through cover! Also, on 5:25, it says "Veiwkick" instead of Viewkick!
thanks for the video ace. next time could you show us the reload speed of the base gun vs a variant that has readiness? just curious to see the difference. if not whatever.
I got the R3KT in a drop... I actually like it and do well with it. Very accurate with the variable site zoomed in, and I like having the extra ammo.

epic r3k is my favorite. feels like it melts enemies i love it.
Ace can u do the EBR next ? Plz
Congrats on 200 k !!!
Thanks. Keep up the good work.
It's funny how epic guns are the most sought after guns while most of them are not even good XD
I love the R3KT and is def worth the 4k salvage imo. Such low recoil and is a beast mid to long range gun
The R3KT is insane in Tactical tdm!
One shot headshots!
Average Guy but it's not auto
THE R3KT is auto. The R3K isnt it :P The epic has a different name. I used to get confused as well.
Faraday slug is still very nice against injured players and gives more flinch
Just got the game yesterday, and I'll say, the R3K feels better for me than the Nv4.
Ace, could you do the Volk next? I would really like to know what your testing comes up with the variants for that gun.
The R3KT kills in 2 shots in Tactical TDM. This makes it somewhat God tier.
Oddly enough I have every variant but the nuke one. I like the gambit, red dot quick draw and silencer. Any other attachment it adds is bonus. That way I can run 4 perks and a pistol
only thing the scrambler did for me was make me look at the minimap when someone else was using it and wonder what the hell it was...until now
Love ghe weapon guides!!!!! Can you do a smg next
Well down vid again ace keep it up!!!!!!!!!
Hey there Ace ,great vid ,been struggling to get headshots with the base Rek but just used the counterbalance and having more success so thanks , ps how do u change your reticule to blue ,or is it an unlock/quartermaster drop?
the spearhead needs a small buff with that recoil.
Started using this gun yesterday dont think its leaving my custom classes for awhile
does the rekt variant keep that neck-shot multiplier ? does it make a difference anyway ?
R3KT vs Volk sprintout times? If the R3KT has normal AR sprintout, normal AR ads time, and the Volk is worse on both, that gives the R3KT a huge edge in practical ttk in most situations, given its superior accuracy.

Love the R3KT
Ace, given the significant recoil increase on the spearhead, do you recommend a grip when using that specific variant to counter the recoil increase? Thanks.
Rizwan Siddiqi I use it it on mine and it counters it really good, it's a must if you are using the spearhead variant
Slow move in a fantastic new feature!!!
Why do you run the "blue dot" instead of the "red dot"?
visibility and preference probably
+Depressed “Jefff” Guy Smaller dot, more contrast to most targets.
+TheXclusiveAce I find there are less dark blue backgrounds than the bright red
_"1 shot kill, unless you are penetrating something"_
Ace, Energy Weapons have a 0 wall-banging factor...
TheXclusiveAce Thank you! I didn't know that the dot was smaller.
Would the R3KT benefit from having Faraday slug on it since the range is reduced to 30m for the 3 shot kills? You said after the 3 shot kill range is where it is beneficial, so wouldn't this be the exception when it comes to this attachment?
Really surprised you didn't compare the R3KT to the Volk Goliath seeing as they are pretty similar
They are literally nothing alike
TheXclusiveAce How so? They are both semi-auto AR's
Trane
R3KT is full auto
TheXclusiveAce OK, I feel stupid now lol. I'll leave the comparisons to you :D...
Would love a video on snipers or a snipers guide or something. Keep up the good shit!
Ace are you doing this series because Drift0r is not doing in depth anymore as he is focusing on MW Remastered???
Hey Ace, will scrambler also hide you from the radar after a kill? If so, scrambler seems like it would be good to help hide you from the radar without having to use a sniper.
anyone know what to spend my salvage on i have 4000 i already have nv4 epic and raw epic i dont like shorguns or snipers or the volk epic so what should i buy
james lopex try the type-2 butcher it has faster reload when mag is empty and shotguns the shotguns are good but you have to be really close
type-2 butcher is terrible lol, buy the mammoth or the ripper
james lopex depends on your play style but im saving mine as there is bound to be more variants released
james lopex Don't listen to them, spend it on the best variant for the gun you use the 3rd most. It also doesn't have to be the epic variant either. You're welcome.
The Ripper
should show just foregrip when showing the recoil with the stability trait
hey ace . i play competatief Cod but it looks like my reaction time is really low
is there a way to improve my reaction time on IW ( ur BO3 guide was verry useful) thanks and keep going
minor typo on the first slide regarding the damage at range
awesome video Ace would like to game with you sometime if possible xD
He live streams almost daily for 3 hours and plays with viewers frequently. Thats your chance! (XB1 and PS4) Check his Twitch Channel www.twitch.tv/thexclusiveace
oh i check sometimes but only have PS4 though xD
Thats ok, he mainly plays PS4 for IW most days. Expect a varied schedule over christmas as he takes a break, but other than that, follow him on Twitter for when he goes live and get in a lobby or 2. Its great fun!
rather check my mail and youtube for that not on twitter
Hey Ace, I got the R3Kt in a drop. Been playing with it and like you said its like a more accurate version of the VOLK. I threw on the long barrel and have been beating a lot of assault rifles at long range. Do you know the stats?
Long Barrel increases range by 20%.
Awesome, I didn't know if it had its own bonus because it was epic. Also I appreciate the fast response, I'll have to prime sub to your twitch and add to that beer fund! Do you have a schedule for the stream?
C. Storm
I'd appreciate it! I normally stream daily starting around 5PM est but its been a bit more sporadic lately with the holidays. Normal time for the stream today though
I have the rekt I saved up my salvage for it and it's pretty good
i love my r3kt in hardcore. super stable 1 shot kills at range.
+TheXclusiveAce What's your take on using Faraday Slug with the R3K Spearhead in TTDM?
I'm using stock, QD and Rifled Barrel (Particle Amp?) atm. In your video you said the Foregrip could be used with some advantages with the Spearhead, but my own testing shows it's a total waste of attachment. Comments on this?
This gun is OP in tactical TDM. Put a thermal on it and it's a wrap!
after i spent 700 salvage to buy the spearhead, i got it again in a rare supply drop. twice...
hey ace do any of the variants have hidden value changes for when the bullets bounce off the walls
None that I'm aware of
Okay
i think r3k is my bet. didnt try that yet.
Hey Ace would the VCM sight help on the r3k?
Can u do the type-2 next time?
Would the Faraday Slug attachment be useful on the R3KT because of the reduced damage?
Faraday Slug will work beyond 30m for the R3KT but not from 0-30m.
TheXclusiveAce Ok, that's better than 43m, but the R3KT doesn't strike me as a long range weapon. Thanks for the quick reply!
R3KT with RDS, Quickdraw, Grip, Particle Amp, and Stock
I wished this gin looked better. I love 3 round guns but this gun looks like a spinal cord..
So since the R3K kills in 2 shots in TTDM, does this mean it kills in .06 seconds in TTDM? OP?
The epic of this gun was the first one i got
Ace, where do you get your stats from... If you don't mind telling me ofcourse
+Faris Alqarawi link in description
TheXclusiveAce got my first nuke, that's for the tip videos
Anyone know why R3K still hitmarkers on occassion in Hardcore?

You spelled "viewkick" wrong at 5:24
