Honestly comparing this to WZ, the fact that 40 guns out of 150+ are top contenders is pretty damn impressive. I know the balancing throughout the year hasnt been the best but at least SHG tried doing something. They actually buffed MWII guns unlike Raven.
Akimbo COR-45's are one of the best akimbo pistols I've ever used in a CoD game. The 3 - 4 shot range is incredibly insane for akimbos, add on the CORs incredible hipfire with a decent trigger finger and it's so good. I've won so many gunfights at ranges I shouldn't have won with akimbo pistols...
Back playing CoD with this title after playing *CoD4 until Black Ops 2* (sold that title 3 days after it's launch. Really been enjoying the current MW3 title. *This list is refreshing* as it gives a honest breakdown of your own personal options. The biggest thing I've found coming back to CoD and hsing RUclips for inspiration and guides on weapons is *how much clickbait there is in the CoD content creator pool* every weapon labelled as _'meta'_ because they had a high kill game using it in mainly bot lobbies where none of their opponents react or have any understanding of what's going on around them. Currently working towards grinding weapon camo's so seeing some of these builds will help alot. One tip I would offer is to use the weapon build's ingame name as your channel, as there will be people like me just screenshotting builds to work from and it'll assist in recognising where they found it. Keep up the good work, will check you out during Black Ops 6
Awesome list and video. I think having a list like this at the end of the life cycle is perfect long-term. There's times I have wanted to go back and play some older CoDs, but didn't know where to start weapon and attachment wise. Some games I didn't play through end of life cycle and keep up on balancing so it felt like my classes and guns all stunk. I think this will be a great resource for people that decide to come back to this game for years to come! Appreciate the work and effort!
I don't think it's mentioned in the patch notes. But Blast cap ammo, explosive damage on the Torque Bow was secretly nerfed. Used to take 1 to take down a counter UAV, now 2. Same with other killstreaks. Helo only took 3 and now takes at least 4, might be 5.
He missed the JAK Ettin Kit on the AMR9 again too. It got a hidden buff months ago and Ace never realized it. Fastest killing full auto gun in the game with the downside being the base mag capacity
The AMR9 with the Jak Ettin Doubke Barrel kit flies under Ace’s radar again. Fastest TTK in the game for a full auto weapon and better range than most smgs
My favourite weapon in MWIII is the XRK Stalker, built for long range for Warzone. It's very balanced and polyvalent, high bullet velocity with a decent ADS speed.
Bracefire (aka Hades Crossbar/chainsaw) with the Taq evolvre and PKP kit is still goated even after the nerf. Taq because it has the highest ads strafe speed in the game while PKP has 0 spread for longer engagements while still having fast ads movement. Outside pre nerf The hades crossbar is still the fastest we ever had for strafing but this is close.
Awesome video! I've been trying to use a different gun every match recently and this gives me plenty more to try out. I forgot about a bunch of these AMPs for sure
Great video Ace! I would love if we could get all these info in a Google Sheet or similar format. It would make me avoid having to come back and search through the video every time I want to try one of these awesome set-ups. It would also be amazing to have one for BO6 where it is updated live so we can refer to it throughout its whole life-cycle. Keep up the amazing work!
Hey ace, you should really revisit the mtz 762 in semi auto if ur trigger finger is great, it has an amazing TTK for something that fires that fast and only 3 shots
It's easily the best weapon for me, personally. It can be built to be fairly mobile since it has access to the Cutthroat stock for close range flights while still dominating at mid range, or be kitted out for long range engagements with decent recoil characteristics. Throw in 2-tap headshot kills in its first two damage ranges for the cherry on top, and that's a recipe that very few, if any, weapons can compete with. I'm honestly surprised they took away semi-auto for the Lachmann Shroud Decimator kit but didn't touch the MTZ-762. Even its Heretic kit can 3-shot kill in semi-auto, although it trades accuracy for mobility and is less versatile overall.
@@Kuriketto yeah I tried it, the recoil sucks for less rpm overall but significantly more mobility, I stick to the default and build towards sway and sprint to fire, i have a great trigger finger and nothing competes with this things TTK if ur landing ur shots especially to the head
Me and my friends will probably stay on Mw3 for another 6-12 months. We played Armored Royale most but they havnt brought it back. RAM-9 still me and my wifes favorite, never see it though. 36dmg per bullet with almost 1000 fire rate, can drill the final target at the range 💪 amd that Hexed Cruilty blueprint that gave us the jak kit for the rennetti pistol is friggin savage. The most we have ever been wrecked though was a guy using the KVD Enforcer with the double tap jack conversion kit but I can't use it.
this is a really awesome video for reference, would you consider doing something like this for every cod since 2019, even if it's like 4 games in one video?
I have weapon mastery calling cards for every mw3 smg and half the mw2 smgs. Best snd/ghost smg: superi for reload speed and sniper support. Best tdm smg with Mag holster: mp5(headshot), static, rival, fjx... everything except minibak, hurricane and iso 45 is slower. Overkill vest, marksmen gloves, ninja/lightweight, mag holster/ghost.
I would highly recommend looking into x12 it was buffed recently and now it's a 3 shot kill up to impressive range considering not a huge difference in rate of fire (521 x12 vs 550 in cor) and some additional goodies like higher amo count (17 base+24with first mag upgrade) I would say that x 12 is highly slept on right now
Assault Rifles: some picks id use too. BUT IM SO GLAD to see the Jak Patriot get a nice shout out as that is the gun that got me my first nuke! I may want to Try that Holger Class. My under the radar pick was the M16 without the AMP i love a Burst Rifle ever Since Cod Mobile and seeing SHG give some love to not just it but MWII guns makes me happy for the state of MWIII will be left with. Battle Rifles: The DTIR has been annoying me since the season launch so some time soon ima go back to the BAS-B. i loved that gun during the First month of MWIII, so it will be fun to give myself a throwback with it. May also have to try that FTAC Recon set up as im aware of that buff from a few balance updates ago. SMG: The Static after the nerfs is now much weaker now. I know that you dont cover Warzone, But because of Warzone in that game the Superi has been my favorite gun to use Especially with the Tactical Sprint Speed build i personally use in BOTH MP and WZ. And its the gun that i got the Constellation's End camo on. From my memory is The Ram-9 the fastest Killing SMG? Just felt like it was MELTING when it came out with its season launch. Rival 9 for sure is the tryhard Set Up. Same with the Striker but its super Easy and straight forward to use. I tried to use the ISO 9MM recently and its giving some Fennec Vibes from MWII. THE VEL, i wished to use it more starting around Season 4 but it fell out of my radar and i regret that because i want to get the Prestige Camo for it. I actually Prefer the FJX Horus with out the AMP but with it, its similar to the Striker. That Lachman Shroud has been super underrated love its ttk there. Shotguns: Reclaimer 18 is super hit or miss for me. (not litterally 😅) But this year the shotgun class was no where near to the strength like it was in MWII but it still was annoying to die to. KV Broadside AMP is another great choice as to me it reminds me of a slow shooting but hard hitting ranged weapon. Light Machine Gun: Never really picked up LMGs all year and really they took a much weaker approach to their balancing to align similar to last years game MWII. That Jak Nightshade AMP is amazing too. Used it to grind for the JAK of all Trades Camo. Marksmen Rifle: Ofc Quick scoping Kar98k is on your list. But if you read down to here I recommend the 9× Magnification Scope that has a built in laser. That to me gives me the feel of the Kar98 from MW19. been dying to SPR alot more now and its been giving some flashbacks to its strength back on MWII. Sniper Rifles: Loved Using the Mors but since the Kar98 i never looked back to regular Snipers. Loved the XRK on Warzone again when we didnt have the Kar. Never really got to using the SP-X this year but Earlier in the year i was using the MPCR and THAT was great but doesnt keep up along with the MWIII Snipers. Handguns: Cor 45 has been great all year besides that roadbump, but since that X12 buff that now has a 2 SHOT Potential to the Head. Personally i love the P890 from MWII and its again another Pistol that has a 2 shot to the face BUT it is abit unforgiving when missing Shots.
This game was balanced amazingly. Multiple viable options in every weapon class. They made a lot of the new weapons/kits very OP but I feel like that was on purpose and then they always nerfed it within like a month or less.
Shotzzy said ARs do more damage through cover and fences than smgs. Higher calibre weapons like LMGs and heavy snipers are the best bet for wall bangs. I think as a general rule of thumb, penetration rounds will move a smg to a heavy AR, AR to Heavy sniper, in terms of damage lost through penetration. Smg
I was surprised you mentioned the TAQ-M but not the EBR-14, while the TAQ-M has better overall movements speeds and a really nice one shot headshot potential, it does fire slower and has slower ADS times (240rpm vs 285.7rpm ~ 290ms vs 240ms). After the buff, the EBR-14 now keeps up with a solid two shot kill to the upper torso up to similar ranges with having access to high grain ammunition so you don't slow yourself down when extending ranges, if its even needed. For players who aren't as confident or don't go for headshots as often, I do recommend trying out the EBR-14 instead. Due to it's quicker ADS time, it's much easier to slot on a suppressor to it and keep at least half decent mobility (it's still an MWII marksman rifle, though).
I tried using the EBR because it looked good on paper, but I could not get the two shot to work since you need to hit both shots to the upper torso and in a game where people are jumping and sliding around all over the place it’s nearly impossible to react to it and became very inconsistent. It’s 2 shot range also isn’t the best either so it doesn’t excel at long range
The algorithm itself may not change but the experience is often much more mixed simply due to the lower player count which makes it harder to find people of a similar skill level if you’re someone that’s outside of the realm of average
Surprised about picking the TAQ-M over the KVD Enforcer. edit: Actually, come to think of it, I guess the KVD isn't extremely forgiving with body multipliers for 2 shot kills, maybe? I think it's probably easier to use going for headshots, but I'll try it out.
Vertical recoil control combined with improvement to ADS and Sprintout time. The paracord is great for certain setups but the great sprintout benefit is often wasted when the ADS speed is much slower than the sprintout speed
@@alexsuperpower1 for every gun, focus on bullet velocity rather than recoil control. The quarter master suppressor is useless unless you using something like the Sidewinder. Also, don't use recoil foregrips. Only use movement based foregrips. Recoil foregrips slows down your ads speed, sprint to fire, and ads movement speed. Don't use ANY recoil barrels. The downsides are ridiculous. Only use Bullet velocity and range barrels. Now if you want a muzzle use the LR4 Flash Hider. Gives you 14 percent reduction all across the board. Use the big round zehmn compensated flash hider for all MW2 guns. It takes away visual recoil. If the gun is already low recoil use the sonic suppressor. Btw all of these muzzles take away the flash and gases that blocks your vision. Always use the recoil grip. It's 7 percent to all recoil. If you even need it. For the stock try to go movement speed. Extended mags are usuless. You need more speed. Unless you're constantly killing 4 people each life you're wasting an attachment. Bro with the MCW you can kill 4 people in 20 bullets without reloading. Still got 10 bullets. Optic doesn't matter. Basically bullet velocity and Movement are king on KBM. Bullet velocity so you can map people. Plus that damage range. A controller player is not out gunning you 40 meter out. Movement speed so you can hopefully break their aim assist. Most controller player are on 5,5 to 7,7 sensitivity. You need to have a knife or pistol secondary so you can get across the map. Once aim assist kicks in you need that extra speed to survive bro. I've survived so many gunfights because I were able to run away. Sorry for long paragraph. Btw I played BO6 Beta. DONT USE A SINGLE RECOIL ATTACHMENT. Every single gun beams with no difficulty.
@@XO_Keo I'm the guy constantly killing 4+ people per mag. Every time I try taking a default sized mag for speed, I regret it cause I'm always getting caught on empty mag reloads because I just dropped 3+ people and I need to reload. It's also why I run the compression plate perk. Need to be at full health because gun fights string together one after another for me 😂 but I generally agree. On PC, I don't feel like I need this much recoil control and can opt for speed. I also prefer a spear or sword as a secondary. I'm always hovering over the B and home flag so I don't need all the speeds. Instead, I need to be able to chain kills together non-stop to earn my cluster mine and IMS to hold flags while I use the gunships.
@@InvntdXNEWROMAN oh I see. Aye great for you. My play style a little different. I mainly snipe in this game. Yk quickscoping. So I like to isolate each fight getting kill by kill. Not really trying to win 1v2s or 1v3s. This is how we hit clips in the quickscoping community. Also in Apex Legends you want to Isolate those fights in order to not get insta traded and possibly 1v3 them one at a time. When I get a kill I instantly reset the fight by getting behind cover or running around a corner yk. Hopefully I'm making sense. When I play Hardpoint, I try to get that kill run, reposition. So I always have time to reload. Same in SnD, Control etc...
@@XO_Keo do you tend to miss your first shot often & that's why you use that type of playstyle? I think quick scoping is one of the most powerful ways to play and can easily be used to take on 1v3+ engagements if your movement is good enough in core mode. You can have 4 glints on you and you'll win if you can pop shots in between slide cancel jumping almost every time.
@TheXclusiveAce i hear that. Would be nice if there was a middle of the road in between the chaos of akimbos and shotguns pubs and the sweaty grind/hackfest of ranked. But that would be called getting rid of sbmm lol
I’m surprised you haven’t talked about the current stats of this game. It has become infested with cheaters ever since season 6. I literally got ddos attacked the other day. Every game has cheater lagging the servers and it becomes unplayable
LMAO@ TOP 40!! Are we talking bout cheater ZONE or 2box reverse boosting EOMM MP 6v6!!! Sure you didn't leave a few out??😅😅😅 WTF are we doing here. The best setup was the latest weapon you can purchase via your debit card account set up on your system.... what a joke for content... this is trolling at its finest!!! Also I love single fire weapons but with the speed of this game and the abuse of EOMM it was no fun running single fire weapons. I hated that I could not run with a single single fire weapon even in hardcore. They all shoot sooooo slow. Game is a joke anyway. Have no urge to log on anymore and run with my people online for months now. They been begging me to get on but ACTIVI$ION. SBMM, EOMM and the trash weirdo community of streamers and trash content fakers has killed my joy. Also cross play needs to be removed immediately. I don't understand why XBOX forces me to play with cp on. Once I switch it off my ping goes from the 30s to 200 and I'm waiting 30 min for a lobby full of shadow banned aholes. And it's the same players lobby after lobby!!!! No thank you. I have had enough.
A bunch of people have been requesting an updated setups video for a while now and I decided to go above and beyond for this one by sharing more setups in a single video than ever before but feel whatever you want I guess
I watched the whole video, enjoyed it, and now I’m ready to try out some new setups. Don’t know why you’re saying he’s scraping the barrel when this was a great video and great content. Also, learn how to spell barrel.

Honestly comparing this to WZ, the fact that 40 guns out of 150+ are top contenders is pretty damn impressive. I know the balancing throughout the year hasnt been the best but at least SHG tried doing something. They actually buffed MWII guns unlike Raven.
Dies to the DTIR and STG still. Realistically, theres maybe 5 guns that can compete in actually good lobbies

I was surprised you mentioned the TAQ-M but not the EBR-14, while the TAQ-M has better overall movements speeds and a really nice one shot headshot potential, it does fire slower and has slower ADS times (240rpm vs 285.7rpm ~ 290ms vs 240ms).
After the buff, the EBR-14 now keeps up with a solid two shot kill to the upper torso up to similar ranges with having access to high grain ammunition so you don't slow yourself down when extending ranges, if its even needed.
For players who aren't as confident or don't go for headshots as often, I do recommend trying out the EBR-14 instead. Due to it's quicker ADS time, it's much easier to slot on a suppressor to it and keep at least half decent mobility (it's still an MWII marksman rifle, though).
I tried using the EBR because it looked good on paper, but I could not get the two shot to work since you need to hit both shots to the upper torso and in a game where people are jumping and sliding around all over the place it’s nearly impossible to react to it and became very inconsistent. It’s 2 shot range also isn’t the best either so it doesn’t excel at long range
Thanks ace
Take a shot everytime Ace says "solid"
What about class set ups?
So what benefits does the quartermaster suppressor have? There’s others suppressors that add damage
Massive recoil benefits with very small downsides. There are no suppressors in the game that impact damage
@@TheXclusiveAce I use sonic suppressor which enhances the damage range my bad, I’m unlocking the quartermaster as we speak thanks!
@@TheXclusiveAce Absolutely agree! It seems to have a hidden +4 or +3 (>>>> or >>>) Firing Aim Stability too which is absolutely insane.
I have nd am really this game. Not giving up any time soon. Also the 1st zombies mode am so attached to.
no deag?!?!?! its sooo OP rn now 1 shot kill (with no trigger delay) insane atm especially in one life modes
Do we have any data on SBMM loosening up on the previous cod once the new one comes out?
The algorithm itself may not change but the experience is often much more mixed simply due to the lower player count which makes it harder to find people of a similar skill level if you’re someone that’s outside of the realm of average
ace i still want you too try my thermal hrm9 class it built for no recoil fast ads and it has thermal
What attachments do you use?
Why pick the bas b over the soa subverter when the ttk is better?
Mobility is higher on the Bas-B. Ace likes to move around the map.
Gotchya makes sense, also the fennec is still pretty beastly, better option than including the vel on the list
Eyo the iso 9 is such a sleeper. It has no recoil, I mean zero. And it melts people. People just focusing too much on the meta to see the diamonds
Super super video
Surprised about picking the TAQ-M over the KVD Enforcer.
edit: Actually, come to think of it, I guess the KVD isn't extremely forgiving with body multipliers for 2 shot kills, maybe? I think it's probably easier to use going for headshots, but I'll try it out.
For me, the KVD is the best marksman rifle by a mile. I think it's my third most used gun too, ha.
TAQ-M is almost identical to the KVD but with faster fire rate
They should have made all the mw2 weapon attachments have the same statistics as their archetypal mw3 counterparts.
xrk and spx camo ? thanks
Yes.
Ace, why u use Skeletal Vertical instead Paracord?
Vertical recoil control combined with improvement to ADS and Sprintout time. The paracord is great for certain setups but the great sprintout benefit is often wasted when the ADS speed is much slower than the sprintout speed
@@TheXclusiveAcethank u for respond!
Idk why they nerfed the sab-50 no one uses that gun but i do like they buffed the spr-208 and no one even uses the Lab
Played a couple of games against it. It felt oppressive like the longbow did pre-nerf.
@@theshankpain2228 I used it and it was too easy. It has strong aim assist too
it was weak its even give hitmarkers on shipment
It was the most overpowered no scope weapon I have ever used. No scope shotguns and snipe snipers (1100 kills).
Ace rank the aftermarket parts
What happened to the video idea you had a while ago about guns that could use some love?
Most of the ones on my list got buffed before I had a chance to put the video together
@@TheXclusiveAce What were the ones on your list that weren't buffed? Just curious
Off the top of my head: minibak, fss hurricane, and TAQ56. I’m sure there are probably one or two more that I’m just not thinking of right now though
@@MrKing-he3eo The Jak Intimidator Kit was definitely one of them lol XD
mtz is my fav
I use to like your mw2 set ups but I feel my own are alot better in mw3 now the static hv set up you have is really bad
my GOAT🙏
Yeah ace i hate shotguns too 😂
Crazy how different keyboard and mouse loadouts are from controller loadouts
As a mouse and keyboard player what would you change in your loadouts? Or you have some go to loadouts?
@@alexsuperpower1 for every gun, focus on bullet velocity rather than recoil control. The quarter master suppressor is useless unless you using something like the Sidewinder. Also, don't use recoil foregrips. Only use movement based foregrips. Recoil foregrips slows down your ads speed, sprint to fire, and ads movement speed. Don't use ANY recoil barrels. The downsides are ridiculous. Only use Bullet velocity and range barrels. Now if you want a muzzle use the LR4 Flash Hider. Gives you 14 percent reduction all across the board. Use the big round zehmn compensated flash hider for all MW2 guns. It takes away visual recoil. If the gun is already low recoil use the sonic suppressor. Btw all of these muzzles take away the flash and gases that blocks your vision. Always use the recoil grip. It's 7 percent to all recoil. If you even need it. For the stock try to go movement speed. Extended mags are usuless. You need more speed. Unless you're constantly killing 4 people each life you're wasting an attachment. Bro with the MCW you can kill 4 people in 20 bullets without reloading. Still got 10 bullets. Optic doesn't matter. Basically bullet velocity and Movement are king on KBM. Bullet velocity so you can map people. Plus that damage range. A controller player is not out gunning you 40 meter out. Movement speed so you can hopefully break their aim assist. Most controller player are on 5,5 to 7,7 sensitivity. You need to have a knife or pistol secondary so you can get across the map. Once aim assist kicks in you need that extra speed to survive bro. I've survived so many gunfights because I were able to run away. Sorry for long paragraph. Btw I played BO6 Beta. DONT USE A SINGLE RECOIL ATTACHMENT. Every single gun beams with no difficulty.
@@XO_Keo I'm the guy constantly killing 4+ people per mag. Every time I try taking a default sized mag for speed, I regret it cause I'm always getting caught on empty mag reloads because I just dropped 3+ people and I need to reload. It's also why I run the compression plate perk. Need to be at full health because gun fights string together one after another for me 😂 but I generally agree. On PC, I don't feel like I need this much recoil control and can opt for speed. I also prefer a spear or sword as a secondary. I'm always hovering over the B and home flag so I don't need all the speeds. Instead, I need to be able to chain kills together non-stop to earn my cluster mine and IMS to hold flags while I use the gunships.
@@InvntdXNEWROMAN oh I see. Aye great for you. My play style a little different. I mainly snipe in this game. Yk quickscoping. So I like to isolate each fight getting kill by kill. Not really trying to win 1v2s or 1v3s. This is how we hit clips in the quickscoping community. Also in Apex Legends you want to Isolate those fights in order to not get insta traded and possibly 1v3 them one at a time. When I get a kill I instantly reset the fight by getting behind cover or running around a corner yk. Hopefully I'm making sense. When I play Hardpoint, I try to get that kill run, reposition. So I always have time to reload. Same in SnD, Control etc...
@@XO_Keo do you tend to miss your first shot often & that's why you use that type of playstyle? I think quick scoping is one of the most powerful ways to play and can easily be used to take on 1v3+ engagements if your movement is good enough in core mode. You can have 4 glints on you and you'll win if you can pop shots in between slide cancel jumping almost every time.
You weren't supposed to tell people about the 208! Shiii...
wow no longbow?
It’s basically just a worse version of the Kar98

This gane protects reg gun user.. simple as that
How come you don't play ranked? No interest?
Mainly no time to grind to a meaningful level
@TheXclusiveAce i hear that. Would be nice if there was a middle of the road in between the chaos of akimbos and shotguns pubs and the sweaty grind/hackfest of ranked. But that would be called getting rid of sbmm lol
The Rival 9 is kind of mid. A lot of SMGs are better. Plus the Ram-9 is practically a better version of the Rival-9.
MWIi guns shouldn’t have been ported over
The best setup for me is uninstalling MW3 to have BO6 replace it.
I expected p90
I do like the p90 now but not quite enough to make the list
Can you go back to MWII and make one of these for that game please?

Half of the people who enter the game may be cheaters, you die before you can take a step.
Yeah this has been the worst year of weapon balancing
NERF AIM ASSIST.
mw2 guns still pretty useless bcuz of their crazy recoil
Damn im early
christ this game has horrible attachment selection every build is basically the same
That’s mostly because the MWII attachments suck
I’m surprised you haven’t talked about the current stats of this game. It has become infested with cheaters ever since season 6. I literally got ddos attacked the other day. Every game has cheater lagging the servers and it becomes unplayable
I still have yet to see a single obvious cheater in MWIII and this is the first I’ve heard of an uptick of cheating with season 6.
LMAO@ TOP 40!! Are we talking bout cheater ZONE or 2box reverse boosting EOMM MP 6v6!!! Sure you didn't leave a few out??😅😅😅 WTF are we doing here. The best setup was the latest weapon you can purchase via your debit card account set up on your system.... what a joke for content... this is trolling at its finest!!! Also I love single fire weapons but with the speed of this game and the abuse of EOMM it was no fun running single fire weapons. I hated that I could not run with a single single fire weapon even in hardcore. They all shoot sooooo slow.
Game is a joke anyway. Have no urge to log on anymore and run with my people online for months now. They been begging me to get on but ACTIVI$ION. SBMM, EOMM and the trash weirdo community of streamers and trash content fakers has killed my joy. Also cross play needs to be removed immediately. I don't understand why XBOX forces me to play with cp on. Once I switch it off my ping goes from the 30s to 200 and I'm waiting 30 min for a lobby full of shadow banned aholes. And it's the same players lobby after lobby!!!! No thank you. I have had enough.
i literally uninstalled this game
feels like you are just scraping the barrell now ace with this content lol....
A bunch of people have been requesting an updated setups video for a while now and I decided to go above and beyond for this one by sharing more setups in a single video than ever before but feel whatever you want I guess
I watched the whole video, enjoyed it, and now I’m ready to try out some new setups. Don’t know why you’re saying he’s scraping the barrel when this was a great video and great content. Also, learn how to spell barrel.
@@TheDSSlayer to be fair game is nearing its lifecycle with bo6 releasing in 3 weeks so this is just warranted, not much left to make a video about
also this month alone the meta shifted pretty drastically so a updated gun builds was just needed imo but thats js my 2 cents
@@TheXclusiveAce it's a great video, I always wanted updated setups, so many patches and changes since the first setups. I like the video very much.
