The latest update appears to raise the viability of SMGs in the Modern Warfare 3 meta , since the Striker, AMR9, and Striker 9 received notable changes. The Striker SMG’s maximum damage range has been increased from just 9 m to 19 m, which is a 114% increase. Near-medium and far-medium damage for the Striker was also increased, and the Striker’s aim down sights (ADS) time was reduced to 230ms. The Striker 9 also received a reduction in ADS timing, but the SMG’s maximum damage was decreased by 16%. Slight adjustments to the AMR9 brought its damage multipliers up to 1.1x, and its sprint to fire time was reduced by 30% to 206ms. Overall, these SMGs should feel more responsive and consistent in the meta going forw
For Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 , the February 21 patch focused mainly on bug and issue fixes affecting various game modes. These included a bug that caused players to be disarmed in Team Gun Game. Weapons like the MTZ-556 Assault Rifle, the Haymaker Shotgun, Longbow Sniper Rifle, and TYR Handgun all saw adjustments as well, potentially affecting players who enjoy those weap
The official Call of Duty blog revealed patch notes for the November 21 Modern Warfare 3 update, which features multiple weapon changes for assault rifles and SMGs. Firstly, the Holger 556 assault rifle received nerfs to damage multipliers for head, neck, upper-torso, arm, and hand damage. The Holger 556’s sprint to fire time was increased from 210ms to 231ms, so players will notice a slight delay when proceeding to fire the assault rifle directly after sprinting. The FR 5.56 received the exact same sprint to fire nerf as the Holger 556 with the former getting multiple damage nerfs and damage multiplier reductions. What’s more, Sledgehammer Games nerfed the DG-58 assault rifle’s overall damage and increased the burst delay from 100ms to 12
The RAAL MG equipped with the JAK Protean Kit is a strong contender in the medium-to-long-range meta when it comes to Warzone Battle Royale. However, its slow draw time, partnered with its reliance on accuracy when using it in semi-auto mode, can make it challenging to use in close-range gunfights. This is where a close-range support weapon can help, with Submachine Guns being the most viable option. The top picks for the SMG category for Season 5 include the Static-HV , the FJX Horus , and the Superi
Since players will be predominantly stationary during the duration of Outlast contracts, players should attempt to upgrade their weapon with a Dead Wire or Shatter Blast ammo mod. Both these mods are excellent at stunning and eliminating groups of zombies, including armored pursuers. Shatter Blast is additionally useful when training zombies into a group, as a single activation of Shatter Blast can eliminate all the zombies grouped toget
Players should also keep in mind the shielded enemies that will deploy among the advancing forces. A well-thrown thermite grenade can be highly effective at dispatching the shielded foes almost instantly, along with a customized crossbow with any of the special tipped arrows (thermite and blast cap arrows being most effective on riot shield
Napalm Burst can also be highly effective at eliminating armored mercenaries – unfortunately, Shatter Blast procs very infrequently against mercenaries , making it an unreliable choice for dealing with armored mercenary soldi
If players can keep any health on the computer as the timer reaches zero, the contract will complete and players will receive a reward rift. When the contract is completed, any remaining mercenaries will begin to retreat unless they are already firing on players – drop any active enemy combatants before approaching the reward rift to claim any bonus acquisitio
Death Perception is also great for Outlast contracts where the PND and mission area are indoors – some contract mission areas can be very confined, and if players need to move to evade the horde, they may quickly get trapped in a tight hallway or small office. Having the foresight and X-ray vision provided by Death Perception will give players a moment to decide which path is the best option if they need to run. When holding the line, Death Perception helps players prevent sneak attacks from zombies from corners or through closed do
