I'm running the Pharo with a quickdraw grip, a foregrip, fast mags, and a long barrel.

Is there anything I don't need there? I was also thinking of using a suppressor instead of a long barrel.

Opinions?

Yeah no need for long barrel

I don't event think that foregrip is needed

I run all my SMGs with suppressor, but that's me

Edit: yeahhhh I need sleep lol

Night guys

 

[TheGoreMagala]

Here are some pretty good game for you guys. For the most part, I was just playing around and having fun, practically not being serious. Nevertheless, I feel it can really show how crucial a quirky and odd play style can be, as well as how advantageous the movement system can be.

88-11. Three motherships. Insane multi kills. Quick streaks. Good use of specialist. Demonstrates movement mechanics and odd play style. Good match all around.

https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=wKu2I880R2o

58-5. One (or two, I forgot) Motherships. It shows the same things as the above gameplay, the only difference being that this is a more average gameplay while the previous video is an above average gameplay. Regardless, I still find this to be a good example and something to learn from if you decide to watch it.

 

[patchday]

btw in case anyone didnt know this was double Crytokeys

 

[ryan299]

I just unlocked the m8 and when I go to equip it theres a separate version called the m4. Where did it come from?

You don't need LB, and I used to use Quickdraw all the time but find you don't need that either. I also find Fast Mags pretty pointless on already faster reloading guns like SMGs; just gotta get used to not reloading after 1 kill. I use Grip + Silencer + Elo.

Try Elo, a silencer, and replace quickdraw with stock or something. I like Foregrip on most of my weapons, so you can keep that if you find it necessary.

 

[Dot Matrix]

I'm up to 10 master titles.

Boot Camp
Master Killer
Humilation
Career
Weapons Master
Abilities Master
Killjoys
Air Assualt
Ground Assault
Handling

I just got the depth charge challenge done last night. Got a lucky triple kill ages ago and went weeks without any. Then got the last 2 i needed last night in one match on Aquarium.

Just need 10 popcorn medals for humiliation master.

Given up on ever getting Return Fire master as no one ever uses power core unless it comes in a care package.

Same with Killjoys; no one uses the Firebreak stun so I'll never get that one. Everyone just uses the flamethrower.

Only a couple of dozen kills away from Overkill and I'll have the Wildcards master.

Probably make a start on Combat Efficiency and make some builds with the attachment combos needed for those next.

I'd like Master Killer but I just cant get those quad feeds. I get triples all the time but just can't get the fourth before someone breaks the streak.

To be honest, I'd never use any of those master cards, I like the boot camp master too much to swap it out.

What benefit does the Elo bring?

 

[Xater]

Oh no, I now have to do headshots with shotguns. This is going to suck so much.

 

[TheGoreMagala]

What benefit does the Elo bring?

Precision. A lot of it.

 

[Ensoul]

So I switched back to TDM after playing domination and KC. I have to say, what a world of difference it has made for me. I am doing so much better in regards to my KDR.

Yeah, I still suck at the game overall but for the two days I played I was only negative a handful of time, and my KDR for the weekend was 1.70 which is phenomenal for me.

 

[Tal Shiar Agent]

Precision. A lot of it.

The iron sights on the Pharo are pretty great.


Same with the ICR-1. I haven't used a gun yet that I felt needed a sight. Do they give actual numerical bonuses this game?


So close to unlocking the Razorback. I hope I love it, I need my SN6 in this game. The Pharo is really good, but it just can be inconsistent.

Same, TDM feels like easy mode if you come in only playing dom and kill confirmed. This morning I completely did all the challenges from the KRM. I went on a rampage and it was easy as hell.

It's just optical. If you are good without sight, save yourself the attachment point. I also only use it on guns that have obstructive sights or I use only mid to long range.

Yeah it is so much easier just getting kills and not worrying about capturing points or grabbing tags. My ping kept spiking between 15-400 all weekend so I wonder if that helped me.

While I am doing well I am still struggling to getting all the required blood thirsty with the Kuda (which I think is a good gun) to complete the gold camo challenges. I think I have 3 right now

Every time I get 4 kills something stupid happens preventing me from getting the 5th, one time I put about 3 bullets in a guy and a HC-XD killed me, or I will put 4 bullets in a guy then another guy will come around a corner and kill me. It's so frustrating,

Tried in Hardcore yet ? I went HC for mine and got them almost by accident. Thats for both the Kuda and ICR last night. The ICR longshot challenge was easy too with the 2nd optical and sniping from the barn in Fringe or sitting at the other end of the train tracks on metro.

Started my work on shotguns last night and I'm already hating it though its nice to play with something totally different from what I'm used to. Unlocked the Argus this morning and that thing feels pretty cool, just need to unlock a few attachments for it. Now I just need to start prepping myself mentally for the Haymaker and Brecci and the flaming I'm gonna get for using them.

I'll never understand what influences the cryptokey gain rate.

Time.

 

[Tal Shiar Agent]

I was still getting double cryptokeys this morning. Hopefully this is now the default rate.

 

[Creaking]

Time.

Time spent doing what?

Nope. The "weekend" lasts until 10 AM PST today. Got about two hours and twenty minutes left.

 

[Xater]

Time doing what?

The longer the match the more Cryptokeys you get. That's why dom usually has a higher payout than let's say TDM. That's why before people were just idling in gun game lobbies before it was fixed.

 

[SlimySnake]

Time doing what?

Increasing it of course. TDM used to finish really fast and i would barely get a key and a half. Hardpoint and Domination last longer and earn you more cryptokeys.

You also get more for winning.

I guess that makes some semblance of sense...

I always play hardcore for the long shots. It's great and I ended up getting 8 long shots with the Man O War in one game which was nice. But yeah you're right, it's probably time to switch to hardcore so I can get my last two blood thirsy's

Shotguns are going to suck. The haymaker is the worst gun in the game. It takes 3-4 shots to kill someone and by they time you've hit someone twice by the time the 3rd animation starts you're already dead.

 

[SlimySnake]

I thought that the RK5 pistol was going to be crap because of its terrible range, and well it kinda is (i dont even get hit markers at long ranges) but man i got like 10 headshots with it in quite a few games. By the time i hit 200-250 kills, i had the headshot challenge done. I am at around 300 kills and only a few kills from getting the final couple of challenges for gold. By far the fastest non-shotgun/sniper gun i've gotten gold with.

High Caliber is such a great attachment for headshots. Every weapon class should've had it. Especially LMGs.

Remember the Rejack ability DOES count towards the 5 kills with no deaths camo challenge. Yeah, you lose your scorestreak score and wont even get the bloodthirsty medal but it DOES count towards the camo challenge.

I was having issues getting the challenge for the MR6 pistol... kept dying at 4 kills and switched to the silencer. Got 4 in one game. I had no idea how much people rely on mini-maps in this game.

 

[excaliburps]

You forgot another major one.

-Shit map rotation (also known as the Combine effect)

Oh, god! I like Combine but man! Four or five straight games?? People really need to stop it with voting the same maps over and over.

You're lucky to get one kill with Rolling Thunder, depending on the map.

Yep. Worthless one and when you do get 2-3 kills, it's more luck than anything. Treyarch should seriously buff this one or something. I prefer the CUAV or hell, even the Dart to this one.

If anyone wants to see some nutty Kill Confirmed from earlier

Gotta say, i'm starting to get very frustrated with the team groupings (i understand why it happens - and i'm not really complaining about it to have it changed, but my god - it gets frustrating)

Dude! I've played with you (coincidental) a couple of times, I think. You down with me adding you and joining your games when you're online?

I'm not a scrub, but I doubt I'm like Jorge or the others that call in Motherships every damn time.

Welcome to the club

Anyways, I'm playing now if anyone wants to join

I can't accept your invites! It always says "You have too many players to join this party" or some other crap.

Know what's wrong with this, people? Super annoying.

What are the recommended attachments for the ICR?

I run quickdraw, foregrip, and stock. Don't have long barrel yet but I plan to use that also.

High caliber

 

[Ensoul]

Or playing hardcore where every gun is the same. But if you HAVE to use that gun use rapid fire and never ever run and gun with it, or get close to people.

But yeah for sure add me, what's your handle?

Which AR would you use then?

 

[SlimySnake]

Which AR would you use then?

HVK melts people at close and mid range.

Man Of War and M8 are excellent at mid and long ranges.

Shieva is a one shot kill to the head. Excellent if you have a fast trigger finger.

XR2 and KN-44 are decent but not sure why anyone would use them over HVK, Man Of War and M8.

Easy, XR2 does mad damage and you can just hold the trigger to fire. After the M8 nerf it's the better alternative. I#d also take the Kn over the HVK any day because the HVK is just mad garbage if you have to shoot over a longer range. It is also the best AR to use with a silencer because it's range decrease is lower than with any other AR.

The main point was though to just use any AR over the ICR which is a garbage pea shooter with the only benefit of having super low recoil.

XR2 was super annoying because of its random 1 burst kill range. I agree that it being automatic is a plus especially when I get tired of tapping triggers 2-3 hours a day, but I find that i cant trust the damage output of that weapon.

Good point about the KN-44.

My biggest problem with the ICR was that it had this weird horizontal recoil. It's not flinch, it just wobbled side to side and i would miss half of my shots. It's supposed to be the most accurate rifle but that only applies to vertical recoil. Just a bizarre weapon.

 

[CapitalismSucks DonkeyBalls]

Is there a GAF clan for PS4? I'm used to playing solo and it gets tiresome not communicating with other people. I typically play a mixture of TDM, Dom, KC, and Hardpoint. Would love to chill with some gaffers and play during the evenings.

 

[Skittles]

Going to save my keys until the dlc comes out. Betting that they'll release an update for black market at that time

 

[ShinMaruku]

I love the XR2 I kill people at sniper ranges with long barrel it's VERY good.

XR2 is OK. I find it's a good mid range AR. Don't like it long range due to its weird bullet spread and side-to-side recoil that it sometimes exhibits compared to M8 which can pick off head glitches like crazy with high caliber (never more than 2 bursts upper body compared to sometimes 3 burst with XR2 which makes no sense)

I think the KN-44 is a great gun. It's 3HK at a decent distance. Higher ROF than Man-O-War. Not sure what's so bad about it. It's actually one of my highest k/d ARs.

 

[ChubbyHuggs]

Anyone getting lag on the xbox one? In a lobby with all green bars and I keep getting lag every 8-10 seconds.

I just heard that the black maket rare crates cryptokey cashback rates were doubled over this double weekend too, any idea if true? I saved up 550 keys but didn't think to spend during the x2 times.

Sounds like bullshit. I didn't notice anything different.

The guy got a 30 key cashback, I thought it only went up to 20 or so, but i do hope youre right.

 

[Hikami]

I made a gif thing and posted it on the blackops3 sub reddit, surprised it got that much attention..

I'm not mis-remembering right? I don't remember stuff like this happening in previous CODs. (The one's I've played anyways.) I always seem to get stuck on teammates in this one. Be it in doorways or just when we're beside each other.

I got 30 back one time this weekend. Pretty sure the 2x is over now though.

Something needs to be done about this, especially considering how movement works in this game. I'm perfectly fine with clipping through teammates. I've gotten killed countless times because the game decides my teammate is somehow blocking me in the air

The guy got a 30 key cashback, I thought it only went up to 20 or so, but i do hope youre right.

Nah, I got one of those weeks ago. It's seperate from the event

Great thanks - I thought I'd missed out on 15 double cashbacks. Finished a few hours ago yeah

You can always get up to 30 back. Not related to the event at all.

 

[TheGoreMagala]

Anyone want to party up?

 

[Calabi]

I just found a fun combo, running snipers with knives. If I get fed up with people closing the distance or killing me from behind I bring out the knife and really annoy them.
