I would wait it was leaked that more weapons are on the way.

That seems unnecessary considering those guns already have pretty good range.

I think I discovered a big bug in the game. I tinkered around with my class setup yesterday and did the following:
Kuda with no scope, stock, silencer and fast mags.
Perk 1: Ghost
Perk 2: Scavenger and Hardwired
Perk 3: Dead Silence
At first, I didn't notice that Hardwired wasn't working since I forgot that I had Hardwired equipped. However, after a few games, I noticed dying from Trip Minds, getting electrocuted from Shock Charges and a Power Core messing with my radar.
Tried putting Hardwired as the first second perk and Scav as the add-on and nope. Hardwired still didn't work. I tweeted Treyarch and Vahn but I doubt they'd even check. Anyone who can test it out and confirm? Makes me wonder if there are more bugs when it comes to perks which you won't even know. I mean, if Ghosts had an issue, how will you know it does?

I saved up about 1500 keys. Yes, it's not much ... but it's still 50 rares or 150 "normal" ones.
Anyway. I opened up 40 rares. Nothing. Openend up 30 commons and got more out of those than I did with the "rares". This shit sucks. No way in hell am I going to pay to get weapons Treyarch. I don't have YouTube money and I sure as hell ain't spending 200+ dollars/euro's/pounds/whatever to get one-fucking-weapon

I'm sitting on whatever I've got until they come up with a better way to distribute these weapons.
This is just getting out of hand. Really.
I've seen guys spend hundreds just to get a weapon. BO3 costs around 40~50 euro's over here. Why spend 200/300/400 (whatever) on CryptoKeys just to get ONE weapon? This is just absurd.
I know it's RNG (Hey! RNG! GTFO! Go back to Destiny plx) ... but they really should increase the rate people receive these weapons.

I feel like a good solution would be to guarantee an item of choice after you've opened a certain amount of cases.
For example, if you open 30 cases you get a token that allows you to pick whatever black-market item you want. They could even make it that cases bought with cod-points count for two.

But that will make the cash flow slow which is their main reason for the supply drops.
You think that Activision needs to worry about money? The money they got from COD and Destiny alone is mind-boggling.
These new weapons are way too rare. The Supply Drop's need to be fixed. Items that you already have should never be in the "pool" again. That way, there's an increased chance you get other stuff.
You think they'll decide to get less money one day just to make some fans happy?
As awful as supply drops are on this game and in AW, it is run by folks at Activision and not the developers.
Never.
They hit the jackpot with these supply drops. Kids stealing their parents creditcard and actually buying credits for this stuff, you know it happens ... or YouTubers (like Ali-A, TmarTn and others) spending hundreds to actually get these weapons ...
I'm all up for getting new weapons ... but they should've included a way to actually "buy" them. He'll, make them 1500 (Read this Actvision : Guaranteed Weapon-Key Bundle for $15,-? or ... you know, have us play for it) CryptoKeys or whatever. Give us who don't spend money on this Micro-DLC a reason/motivation to play for.
Who am I kidding? This will never change. Never.
Anyway... has anyone (beside me) experienced an increase in "skilled" players over the last couple of days? I swear to God ... there's more sweaty-pants players then there used to be. More people who care about K/D then objectives. The connection on XBOX One has been horrible. Getting one-shotted with a KN-44 ... firing an entire clip on my enemies and nothing happens. These gun-fights are all over the place. One game I'm wrecking people with any weapon and the next game I'm shooting air? I mean, I hear my gun go off, I see the ammo counter decrease but die anyway. "Wait a minute? How the fuck did he see me?" When checking the kill-cam ... I see that my enemy sees me a solid 1~2 seconds before I even see him ... and I never fire a single bullet.
Shit like this pisses me off. Alot. I'm sitting on a 2.2 K/D which is pretty good ... but having to endure with this type of bullshit every day is taking it's toll. Activision got so much money out of this franchise. Where's the Dedicated Servers? I know that this wont solve all problems ... but having a server do all the networking certainly helps instead of this shitty P2P connections.

The black market could've been so much more, they could you know, let us trade the duplicate items we get out of our supply drops, and even if we want to trade the weapons if you get duplicates. Make the curency cryptokeys and boom, job done.
Also give us more supply drop variants, a weapon only one but you can only get one weapon in these, a character customisation one where you get outfits and taunts, then a decal/playercard one where you get those items.
Same here.

They should definitely do bundles or something.
You should be able to choose if you want just camos, taunts, specialist gear, attachment variants(useless as hell haha), or the new weapons. They can vary in price if they want, but it's probably better to spend 100 Cryptokeys and guarantee a weapon instead of buy 3 Rare Supply Drops and getting nothing but taunts and attachment variants.

Not that I really care that much but I have pretty much accepted that I will never get a weapon in a box. I save up 30 tokens all the time because whenever I turn in 10 I keep getting common camo. 30 has not been much better. Usually a common camo, a taunt or a legendary skin on a gun, like a sniper rifle, that I will never use.

This whole supply drop thing has not diminished my love for the game. I'm never buying COD points, and I really don't care what I get in supply drops. I consider them a bonus, nothing more.

Man another double xp weekend they really don't wqnt people to go cold on this game, normally they would be stingy with the promo weekends, not these days.
Personally I'm sticking at 55 and playing rocket league all weekend lol.

I think it's mainly because the MP Starter Pack is free to play on Steam this weekend.
Yep double xp weekend is upon us. Thank God. I did my first prestige two weeks ago it has been rough leveling without a bonus. Only hit L25. Hopefully I can get closer to max and get back to Ripper soon
Dear Ripper, I will make sure to use a permanent unlock token for you if I ever, ever, ever prestige again

Yeah, there's a lot of truth in that. Because nobody outside of the developers themselves have actual numbers all of the "solutions" that players give might just be moot because it's raining cash over at Activision.
I do think there's some value in at least some changes, I've played a bunch of other games that share similar mechanics like Cryptokeys and special bonusses like I and others mentioned aren't really a rare thing. While some ideas might be a bit too much others could incentivise people to spend even more. Win-win!
But hey, I'm not some economist and Activision probably knows what they're doing, people vote with their wallets and well, we're in this situation right now.
Yeah I love Ripper, it's awesome that the power is almost always available. And making double kills with it is so satisfying.

It's double XP because the map pack is out on Xbox live on Tuesday, they've always done it for map pack releases last few games.
Ripper is amazing. All the other weapons force you to transition to a different play style which means you're either forcing it or you never find a good opportunity to unleash the weapon's power. Ripper, on the other hand, becomes part of the way you play without getting in the way. I was doing hero armors but completely stopped and switched to ripper full time which is way more fun than grinding out bullshit that I'll never use again.
Look at this RIDICULOUS lunge I got with it

Seriously couldn't stop laughing after it happened lol

I liked it better how they used to do it a few Cod's ago how the DBL XP would be the weekend AFTER the new maps would be out, getting the bonus while checking out the new stuff.

Oh dang, that 30 days went by fast. Also don't forget the PC!! :3
I can't get a single kill with the ripper :/
Do you guys activate it then run around and hope you can kill someone or only activate it when the opportunity comes up
Just activate it when you're in knifing distance. If you're looking in their general direction it will automatically lunge you. After that you only need to hit the knife button.
lol! nice

Really? Is it supply drops only like the STG, MP40, and M1911? Is it also on a month delay to the PS4? I might have to rebut AW since I can get it for only $10. I certainly had more fun with it than BO3.

No point in selling it, it isn't worth shit.
Yep, pretty sure it's supply drop and PS4 gets it in a month.
Can sell it for like $30 here. Better than $0. lol
Press L3+R3 when you here a unique sound and or enemy has a target mark on them. You will automatically lunge for the kill.
Normal melee button when ripper is activated.
Best is to sprint + slide + rip. Then keep spamming melee button when there's more than one enemy nearby. It's like you're a anime samurai
Pretty ridiculous.

Well in my quest for dark matter I am 50 kills with 5 attachments off gold on the drakon which o never though possible. I was having a blast with it earlier and even managed a merciless with it!
I was also having so much I general getting a couple
of dark ops challenges too.
Then it's just grinding lmgs,smg's pistols and the knife so a long way to go
It's infuriating though because earlier today I was having a ball and the game was playing fine then it was just lag everywhere and had to back out of loads of games because of how bad it got (this was ground war).

I had my xbox on a 60 inch tv in the living room. Trying to play was hell and I was constantly having 3 times more deaths than kills, put it on a 32 inch tv and have been consistently a 2+ KD player.
I'm a pretty mediocre player so I doubt I'll ever even seriously attempt dark matter. I've got diamond launchers and gold Shieva, HVK, KRM, M8, BRM and Dingo, and Man O War.
That said, I have actively gone for Hero armor and it's been interesting. I finally unlocked all the final challenges though and it's sucking the fun out of the game again, like it did when I was trying for double Vision Pulse kills and a few others. Needing 6 scythe kills in 6 games is frustrating. So far I've gotten it once. I also got the Calamity at that moment. I think the ability kills will be really easy though so maybe I'll just work on those for now and leave the weapons to later.

The first activation causes a lunge too so when the X pops up on your screen just activate it. I keep using the bumpers to activate after that too since I run tactical layout.

Dude, it is seriously, SERIOUSLY, the best gun in the game.
Try this class set up:
Razorback (ELO/BOA 3, suppressor, fast mags, rapid fire)
Ghost, scavenger and ante up.
^ That class is the reason I have 350+ motherships.
It just needs to be silenced and shoot faster. Scavenger and fast mags help with ammunition concerns. Ghost to go with the suppressor, and an optic of your choice.
Even while suppressed the 4-5 shot ranges are incredibly long, and it has very little and predictable recoil. However, keep in mind that with the class above, you're supposed to play stealthy and perform unexpected maneuvers to get the drop on enemies in case they're too close or too far. Either that, or make sure that you're ready for most gunfights.
