Honestly as many issues as i have with CoD, this is kind of about as close to realistic as they can get in terms of their hybrid hit detection and i really do appreciate that level of detail

[@yaniggasteve2497]

This level of realism has no place in a cod game, and no one complained about the games that didn't have it

[@jaynecobb7964]

@yaniggasteve2497 I don't agree or disagree. I'm just saying from my perspective as a massive gun nerd, I appreciate it.

[@yaniggasteve2497]

@jaynecobb7964 yeah true, these are things I used to appreciate about battlefield when it was a great franchise, and this current system is black ops 6 is the best we are going to get with the warzone era CODs

[@jaynecobb7964]

@@yaniggasteve2497 I mean my personal feeling is that every game from MW19 onwards has brought it's own strengths (and plenty of weaknesses). I really only played the campaign on CoD up until 2019 and have since really been into the multiplayer ( having played Siege prior to that the transition to MW19 wasn't as jarring as it was for fans of the older titles). Also MW19 brought in some interesting modes and features ( their version of Ground War, Gunfight, and the gunsmith system). Cold War brought in the large scale battle maps and it's own take on Zombies. Vanguard had the different paced game modes and semi-destructible environments. MW2 had invasion and DMZ and MW3 brought in some solid takes on classic maps.

[@Icyblade01]

Might be one of the most useful videos you've put out, over the past 5+ years or so I've had no idea that's how bullet velocity / hit scanned worked in COD

[@cesiupro123]

As far as I'm aware, the moment you leave the hitscan range, the bullet travel doesn't just start, it also adds the time it would take the bullet to travel the distance of the hitscan range, so if the hitscan range is 35m and you're 36 meters away, the bullet travels as long as it takes for it to travel all 36 meters, not just the one meter beyond the 35. If your bullet velocity is 1000m/s, it takes 0ms to hit a target at 50m, but 51ms to hit a target at 51m.

[@sabresandiego]

Exactly, I think you are right, and this is why I believe bullet velocity is one of the most important stats for mid range and beyond. Unless you’re a rusher, these mid ranges are encountered on every map

[@Crispy_DAWG]

I think this will absolutely matter more in warzone. In Multiplayer just focus speed.

[@thepunisherxxx6804]

I've been watching you for years. You're the only COD creator I trust with weapon builds because you actually put the time in to read the detailed stats, test, and compare. My only gripe is sometimes in past games I find some of your builds don't play as well with mouse that you test on controller. That aim assist really makes some guns and attachments play way better than kb/m. In this game though they've been pretty spot on. I really like how they cleaned up attachments and reduced a lot of the negative trade offs. This system is much more intuitive and easy to manage.

[@Grumpisaurus]

He is a controller player, so it makes sense that his "best" builds would reflect that. M+K have different advantages compared to controller, so it's dumb to just copy and paste what he has. Watch the video and use it as a baseline to create a build suitable for you and your input

[@thepunisherxxx6804]

@@Grumpisaurus Yeah no shit Sherlock. I'm just pointing out they don't translate 1:1 with mouse, I'm not going to just blindly use them. It really is wild how much assist controller gives in this game. You barely have to do any precise movement to keep up with people. Hitting sliding players and tracking with mouse is challenging with mouse, but controller does all the work for you. Only advantage mouse has vs controller is tracking at close range, outside of that controller+ COD heavy aim assist is superior unfortunately. No wonder all the pros use them exclusively. I'd even argue most attachments don't really matter for a controller user. Auto aim corrects so much for you. Just a silencer and a little recoil control maybe, the rest doesn't matter. Auto aim does the rest for you. Mixed lobbies should not be a thing.

[@Grumpisaurus]

@@thepunisherxxx6804 no shit Sherlock, huh. "... Some of your builds don't play as well with mouse", implying you did Infact use them exactly how ace built them.

[@Grumpisaurus]

@@thepunisherxxx6804 and to talk about your aim assist gripe with controllers, it's strongest in close range, and gets much weaker outside of 5-10 metres (in this game), not the other way around. Which makes tracking at close range much easier with controller compared to mouse, while mouse has the edge in longer range engagements. This is especially true when it comes to controlling recoil and tracking a moving target at range (due to a mouse's far superior ability to make small adjustments)

[@thepunisherxxx6804]

@@Grumpisaurus Man your takes are just objectively wrong lol. First off, when I say I tried his builds, if I really need to specify further for you that simply meant I loaded up firing range and tested. That's it. I didn't feel the need to elaborate on that minor detail, but I guess I will here. Secondly, how in Gods name does having no recoil close range make it much easier with controller? They specifically did that to NERF it and raise skill ceiling for these smaller maps. Auto aim by its definition assists aim. Removing it at close range is an objective nerf, there is no grey here. You're understanding of auto aim and mouse is just false as well. Tracking is harder on mouse because there is no target magnetism. Literally all ranges except close controller has the advantage. The game "snaps" on target when you ADS, and at every range except warzone extreme ranges it has the advantage. This is not up for debate. EVERY PRO in COD uses controller. Its the standard for a reason. When money is on the line you use the best tools available. This is proof alone of its dominance in this game.

[@Tatman2TheResQ]

Bullet velocity is more for Warzone, really. Y'all aren't losing gunfights because of your bullet velocity in multiplayer.

[@TheDSSlayer]

since MW19 Warzone was and still is the priority it's a sad state we live and play in.

[@Sedan57Chevy]

Personally, I like to run the overpressure ammo with the damage range barrel, when they're unlocked early in progression. Most guns feel better with this combo, and as you're leveling the gun up and don't have every attachment unlocked, using two slots isn't as much a problem as later on when you might want slots to specialize more.

The work you do for the community is insane. Giving your flowers while you’re here brother 🙏🏾

[@joshuasbrooks]

I'd be interested in seeing how the TTK is affected past the hitscan range to see whether it's more worthwhile to have long barrel for that extra distance for your damage ranges or if the reinforced barrel's increase to bullet velocity results in a faster TTK past the range buff given by the long barrel

[@Kangaroofilet]

It can mean the difference but only by the tiniest margin, having a slightly faster bullet velocity can give you the ability to beat them in a gun fight by one bullet meaning they can get one shot off in you first and you’ll likely still win before they can finish the kill

[@isaactaher9396]

I will say, the bullet velocity barrel does help to shoot down UAVs with just a regular gun. Something I found very effective and a good way to support the team without running a launcher.

[@Lucas-vu8jt]

A whole attachment slot for that is a lot tho

[@alexstromberg7696]

[@Salty_Bagel]

Yeah and flak jacket and tac mask are also super strong if you play obj

[@Salty_Bagel]

The issue with perk greed tho is that unless you have the perks you want permanently unlocked you still have to wait forever to be able to even use it

[@SimonBlueBerry]

imo only some guns truely benefit from gunfighter. most of the rifles are just fine with 5 attachments, and the only smg i can think of wanting more is the kompact because frankly everything about it except the fire rate sucks the swat on the other hand REALLY loves gunfighter if you want to play the obj with it and the bolt snipers appreciate it for quickscoping but dont really need it for traditional sniping (on the rare map where thats even possible that is) and overkill is more important for backup the shotties are terrible with and without gunighter and most of the attachments on them that arent related to handling and spread are worthless anyway and i do feel the first lmg does greatly benefits from it if you want a build thats versatile against both players and streaks, but the others i havent used enough to comment but the much better recoil patterns have me thinking it isnt as important on them all in all perk greed is just too good to pass up in the majority of scenarios with how stacked the first perk slot is, at least for me

[@berrlinerr]

[@benparfittvideo]

One of your best videos, Ace. Such a clear explanation. Very useful, thanks.

[@toxicdragon323]

Honestly, I've never used barrels for velocity for reg guns. I only use them occasionally for recoil control and may be extra damage if available. I think these kind of attachments are more useful in big map modes like Ground War or Warzone. Thanks for being a boss with the info. Always valuable and helpful. Keep it up! You're almost at 1M subs!

[@Kuriketto]

Pistols, especially in Hardcore, seem to benefit the most from improved bullet velocity. The 9mm PM and GS45 in particular can OHK at any range in HC but their hitscan ranges are under 20m, whereas stacking bullet velocity increases that to roughly 30m for both.

[@BLACKBEARD-117]

Congrats brother!!

[@HypRWarfAre]

Yeah I wrote off the barrels for ARS. Their distances and bullet velocities are already so good. No need to waste an attachment slot on it when it does nothing for a rushing player.

[@Kangaroofilet]

Damage range is still good to prioritize because good players will know you can’t kill then from a distance if they get hit markered 6 times and they’ll choose to try and buzz you down from range rather than rush

[@Kangaroofilet]

Also it depends on the AR, harder hitting guns need bullet velocity because they already start really low, using an ak with no barrel you’ll notice the difference immediately because you can literally see the tracer of every bullet you fire that’s how slow your shots are

[@basedworldbillionaire-]

I also appreciate some BV though, not needing to lead as much in this game where people are jumping around everywhere and can have its perks. So the reinforced was my go to pick

[@andrewa.5499]

I’ve been playing around with all the attachments in the shooting range and what every sight you like to use, there is a muzzle, under barrel and barrel that will match with it to make it insanely accurate. I don’t care about range or velocity I care about keeping the gun with the most minimal amount of recoil possible.

[@benpope9502]

Idk man. Anecdotally, I find that when I maximize bullet velo for smgs and ars they perform significantly better at close, medium, and long ranges. Makes no sense, but with the AK especially it was night and day idk if the developers have changed the system from MW3

I have diamond snipers, and I’ve never used the velocity barrels. All of the maps are too small that there is little to no leading or adjustments needed. On the other hand, the damage drop offs seem noticeable at ranges, so increasing that damage range seemed to frequently be the difference in 1 shots and 2 from a bolt action with a 4-7 round mag.

if you shoot down streaks a lot, having the bullet velocity makes it just that much easier, too.

[@HaZeyTheViking]

Can you calculate the TTK difference between using Bullet velo barrel and the damage range barrel at the end of the max damage range of the damage barrel? So for example, what is the difference in TTK between the two at 55m with the XM4. It would still be in the max damage range for the range barrel (300ms) but outside hitscan, so there would be added time there. Also, for the BV barrel, it would be in the 2nd damage range 375ms but hitscan. I am wondering how much time would the lower BV add to its faster raw TTK

[@HaZeyTheViking]

NVM, duh. Just did the math 67ms added on for slower BV with Range Barrel at 50m. So: Range Barrel at 50m - TTK is 367ms BV Barrel at 50m - TTK is 375ms So the range barrels do work well but not as much as you would think looking at the chart, the BV does make them almost equal. There will be unique situations(right at or after a damage range/BV hitscan range) where there are larger gaps but this is good to know.

I base my barrel choice on the natural range of the gun. I'm looking for a close range around 40m so if I need to use the long barrel to get there then that is the one I pick. I like having bv on the aek a lot. I want to increase the chance the entire burst connects with someone running across my field of view.

[@bencezavarko7312]

I don't really use barrels on ARs, for SMGs, I tend to go for the damage range barrel

[@LifeIsKhaosx2]

Does the attachments stack tho? For example if I have two billet velocity attachments will they increase my range even further o will only one attachment count?

[@SquashyButton]

Yeah, for most CoDs that aren’t pure hitscan, I’ve never really felt that bullet velocity increasing attachments have been very useful in 6v6, outside of some rare fringe occasions.

[@Glubbdubdrib]

In the end, it doesn't matter because my TTK is 5 business days while others are 0.1 nanoseconds.

[@kalasgames]

Even with 40 or less than 40ms? Yes, thats my case too.

On some weapons that have such a long 1st damage ranges and enough BV I just skip the attachment and will go with a stock, underbarrel or fire mod.

As soon as you leave hitscan range your accuracy goes to shit against moving targets. A bullet velocity attachment can decide who wins a common mid range fight if one person has hitscan and the other person doesn’t
