Former skilled Name of Obligation participant Crimsix sees potential within the SWAT 5.56 marksman rifle, and the Black Ops 6 devs agree.
FPS gamers on the highest stage could make any weapon look good, and that’s very true for Crimsix, who has essentially the most main CoD match wins in historical past. In saying that, gamers can’t resolve if the SWAT 5.56 is just too robust or wants a rework.
The three-round-burst marksman rifle can one-shot enemies, and Crimsix put that on full show in a powerful spotlight reel.
Treyarch affiliate director Matt Scronce responded, “I challenged the workforce to get a burst hearth again into the comp meta. How far off are we?”
In response to how the weapon performs within the beta, Crimsix responded, “Extremely tough query right here given how gradual the gun feels (motion/advertisements/dash to fireplace) but how fast and simple it might probably one burst. It’s nonetheless tough to land a one burst when persons are on headies at distance, so my solely recommendation can be to regulate that someway.”
Crimsix added that the weapon’s inconsistency is why professional gamers often choose fully-automatic weapons.
The final time skilled gamers used a burst weapon often was the M8A7 in 2015 through the Black Ops 3 season and followers within the remark part aren’t certain if the SWAT 5.56 will break that streak.
“Sadly i don’t see the professionals utilizing a marksman rifle that one bursts extra occasions then not,” one participant responded.
One other identified one key distinction was that the M8A7 was a four-round burst weapon, whereas the SWAT 5.56 is a 3 round-burst.
“To be a comp AR, it needs to be a 4-shot burst as an alternative of a 3-burst, and it might probably solely 1-burst kill in the event you hit all 4 photographs in a burst,” they argued.
“I really feel like a sooner hearth price burst weapon with much less injury per burst has a greater likelihood,” a 3rd stated.
