The current #1 SMG setup for aggressive objective play. Standard Suppressor keeps you off the minimap while the 8-inch Extended barrel stretches your damage range past typical SMG limits. 36-round mag covers multi-kills without a reload, 50 MW Blue laser tightens hipfire for point-blank fights, and FMJ shreds through light cover. Run it on Engineer for close-quarters maps.
The reigning sniper setup. NFX 8.00x with Anti-Glare Coating kills scope glint so you can hold long angles without giving away your position, and the 27-inch MK22 barrel plus Match Grade ammo maximizes your one-shot-kill range. Standard Suppressor keeps you off the map, Slim Angled speeds up your ADS for quick follow-ups. 7-round mag for sustained overwatch.
Built for pure aggression. The PW5A3's insane fire rate melts anyone inside 15m - this build leans all the way in. CQ RDS for snap aim, Compensated Brake to control the spray, 245mm Custom barrel, Compact Handstop for faster ADS, and Hollow Points to drop unarmored targets even faster. 40-round mag because you WILL dump half a mag per fight.
The #1 sniper rifle built for maximum reach. LERT 8.00x with Anti-Glare Coating for glint-free long angles, 26-inch Carbon barrel and Match Grade ammo for the best possible velocity and one-shot range. Standard Suppressor keeps your position hidden, Slim Angled underbarrel speeds up ADS, and the 5-round Fast Mag gets you back on scope quickly.
The #1 shotgun build for building clears. Mini Flex 1.00x for fast target acquisition, CQB Suppressor to stay quiet while you work through rooms, and the 50 MW Blue laser tightens your hipfire spread - most of your kills with this thing never touch ADS. 7-shell tube with Buckshot for maximum room-clearing capacity.
The meta carbine build for holding 30-60m sightlines. Baker 3.00x plus the 303mm long barrel turns the 553R into a mini-DMR with full-auto capability, while the 6H64 Vertical grip and Lightened Suppressor keep the recoil pattern almost perfectly vertical. 36-round mag and FMJ round it out. Uses the full 100-point budget - every point earns its keep.
The #1 carbine in the current meta. CCO 2.00x is the sweet spot for its effective range, 14.5-inch Common barrel extends damage falloff, Ribbed Vertical tames the horizontal kick, and the Standard Suppressor keeps you hidden while flanking. Match Trigger tightens burst cadence at range. One of the most forgiving recoil patterns in its class.
The #1 LMG right now. 508mm MK8 barrel with the Baker 3.00x makes this a laser at mid range, Classic Vertical grip flattens the recoil climb, and the Lightened Suppressor hides you from the minimap while you anchor a lane. The 50-round mag keeps you in the fight through an entire push. Best LMG for objective defense in the current patch.
The #1 LMG played like an assault rifle. 16.5-inch Fluted barrel plus Compensated Brake gives it AR-level handling with LMG ammo capacity. Baker 3.00x for mid-range work, Ribbed Vertical for control, Match Trigger for crisp tap-firing at distance. The 50-round mag means you reload when you want to, not when you have to.
good balance when shooting from the hip and in aiming mode
