Ghosts In Depth - Lynx Sniper Rifle Review

Shield In Depth: • Ghosts In Depth - Riot...
My Twitter: / drift0r
The Lynx is the big bad .50cal monster of Ghosts Snipers. It is also quite similar to the Barrett .50cal from MW2 and MW3. This episode focuses on the stregnths and weaknesses of the Lynx.

[@ReznovRulz]

I like how in most CoD games, a .308 or .338 bolt action sniper rifle does more damage than a .50 cal anti-material rifle. So realistic! :)

[@dtr_dropnbodiez5517]

Sorry to hear about the invasion drifter and hope no one got hurt :( I've gotten my house broken in before. Thank god I decided to go out that evening or else I had would have to defend myself. A lot of stuff was taken. Now we moved to a nicer area... I hope you and your family are ok!

[@dtr_dropnbodiez5517]

This is true :)

[@KorianHUN]

Invasion week... In our city, close to our flat, was a small story, where was a break in. I've never heard about something like that in our area.

[@BenGHD]

someone took my bike before, but then they returned it

[@virginiasaintj]

Some one tried to break into my house. My sister works at a gunshop, and she open carries.

[@ElectricPyroclast]

Shouldn't your sister concealed carry outside her home? First off, showing others in public that you own a gun is just plain stupid, and second of all, if someone criminal sees her with a gun, wouldn't she be the first target the criminal would shoot? Concealed carry is almost always better, and weapon draw time doesn't really change much.

[@loganraimer]

driftor haveing some one in your house when your asleep is one of the scarriest things, i hope every one ok

[@seanottaway1615]

"There was a little gunplay involved" I like how he said that so nonchalant

[@LateNightHalo]

I hope Ozy ripped the burglars arm off,

[@HerbalSergal]

We need an image of this XD

[@LateNightHalo]

ikr.. wow.. much intrude.. such home defense.. wow

[@Altoryu]

Drift0r I don't think many will complain if you call the Bulldog the Bulldoge next episode, will provide some good humor. See the doge face pop up everytime you say bulldoge :P

[@MrDerpHerp72]

Wouldn't Ozzy's face make more sense?

[@Altoryu]

MrDerpHerp72 If he can get Ozzy to make the Doge face then sure.

[@MrDerpHerp72]

Altoryu But Ozzy's a Shiba... the breed of a doge So I don't think it'd be necessary for the doge face. Or maybe for amusement.

[@HighMagnitudeGT]

Yeah drift! Second amendment rights! Guns are used to PROTECT yourself. Good job and I'm so glad you and your wife and your dog are okay. Have a great day. :)

[@gherrin]

you seem giddy about an uncomfortable situation

[@HighMagnitudeGT]

gherrin I'm tired of liberals and their shyte. I used to live in the UK but my fam couldn't stand it anymore with their pc this and don't offend that person.

4:31 so when you do reload, so when you do reload :P

[@SeaOtterGamer]

Sorry to hear about your scary situation, but I'm glad that nobody was hurt (I'm making an assumption since you are still posting a video). This is always one of my biggest fears, especially with 2 little ones in the house. Cheers

[@DustyRusty81]

Drif0r has me hooked, I'm definitely waiting for the commentary on what really happened (Gunplay, intruder, his house) those KEY words that make me tune-in.... hope you & your family are Ok!

[@GaryKetchum808]

The Lynx is a beast when you learn to use it. It took me a LOOOOOOOOONG time to get good with the lynx

[@TheCoDzillaPlayer]

Drift0r amlost gets robbed Proceeds to make a CoD commentary You are a boss.

[@JABofLEGENDS]

I pair this weapon with the Reflex perk and the CBJMS so I can put that last shot down range if the Lynx does not kill and the CBJMS has that "full jacket" rounds for people that go behind cover!

[@aveilhu3508]

lol i keep checking back everyday for that home invasion commentary im just interested in it

[@aveilhu3508]

this video was posted back in february i highly doubt hes ever gonna make a vid about it :(

[@Arkurtv]

Driftor: (shoots robber) "ahh all this gunplay makes me wanna play cod ghosts"

[@ebonyblazeaj4379]

ikr

[@F22C1]

He just said on stream that he's not talking about it.

[@aveilhu3508]

Le Enderman I posted that comment nearly two years ago.

[@NinjaGeek]

holy shit, i wasnt expecting to hear, "oh it was just a home invasion last night with some guns involved" I hope you and your family are okay, and i hope to hear what happened in the future.

[@GhostSlayer81]

After playing TitanFall beta , its pain to me to see another Ghost video , but this is for you Drifter , Glad you & you family are safe ..

[@engineerskalinera]

The Enemies... MUST DIE. -Viktor Reznov? :)

[@BlackOnyxTiger]

I've found that the Lynx is quite good in the Cranked gamemode. The movement buff and added speed perks greatly help to remedy its faults, allowing the Lynx to be used in a more aggressive role.

[@VIVIAN81]

Woah woah woah wtf man home invasion is mentioned along with gunplay and he just skims over that?

[@GigaDarkness]

This is Drift0r we're talking about here..

[@SuperZy1]

Sorry to hear about the house breaking! I rarely comment on your videos but you've been a source of encouragement and motivation for years. Keep up the good work!

[@StopwatchRobert]

Honestly, I think Drift0r is using this gun wrong. Chrome Lined is a terrible attachment for it, as it essentially turns it into a bolt action with worse stats. If you use the default barrel or the silencer, the damage is still good, and you can actually make use of the semi-auto fire, it's not too bad at all. The Lynx with thermal and a silencer is actually a great setup on large maps, especially ones with heavy traffic areas (Whiteout is the absolute best example).

[@SPFootball97]

Can't wait for the home invasion commentary!

[@austinbuckley5112]

Wow. I never had ghosts so I wasnt aware this gun is a .50cal. In AW, its like the rsass. Wtf how does it get less powerful in the 30 year gap between the games events cx

[@CapnE625]

Oh Call of Duty... only this game series can have a soldier fire 8 (or 12 if it's extended mags) .50 rounds really fast without dislocating their shoulders from their sockets XD.

[@GigaDarkness]

Shouldn't you have left when the cat simulator game video came out?

[@aidwin85]

DarkGiga That doesn't make sense.

[@GigaDarkness]

aidwin85 Try again.

[@Maximum432]

Sure it is, if you don't count Metal Gear Solid, Battlefield, Arma, Duke Nukem, Socom, Fallout, or any other shooter game that has .50cal rifles, then I guess you might be right.

[@astrobrad25]

Its funny how some people think the snipers are OP. Yes, it a high damage weapon with a high fire rate, but it is balanced by low movement speed, low reload speed, high idle sway, and bad hip fire.

[@grantplunkett8410]

***** well, the ak12 is obviously an exception to that rule

[@coldonland3725]

Your class does wonders! I use to absolutley stink with the lynx, but now I'm guaranteed at least 15+ kills per match. Thank you Drift0r!

[@mequaIs]

It would be interested with a commentary about what happened during the home invasion... Love you Brad, keep it up! :)

[@NewGamePlusUltra]

Sorry to hear about the incident, I feel your bro pain bro someone broke into my car 2 days ago and I've been on edge since. Seems nobody can have nice things anymore

[@LordCainhurst]

This weapon is meant to be hardscoped with. It's essentially a campers sniper rifle and that's all its good for honestly. It's still useful because its meant to make someone die every time. Only good for medium/long range maps. Don't be an idiot and take it to a short range map or you'll have a really bad time of it.

[@perfidiouspomegranate1599]

In mw3 you could put a proficiency on guns that let you hold your breath on non snipers (i think it was called focus) so, just put an acog, and the focus on a barret, or as-50 for you hipsters, and you have an amazing sniper that doesn't zoom in too much and that gives you peripheral vision

[@Takkon16]

"So when you do reload, so when you do reload (...)". Go to sleep Drift0r you're drunk.

[@sakred_sly_3808]

I realize that for the sake of the game being balanced they have to give some areas where it does not kill people in one shot, but anyone who can take a 50cal shot to the thigh deserves a medal o.o

[@cmccjohns2]

You're crazy if you put up a video after a home invasion man lol. Thanks so much for these videos

[@Waaazuuuubp]

That " commentary later " WILL be tomorrow.

[@koanos2448]

7:30 That made my day.

[@GoldenGiblets]

Ohh yay. Home invation stories! Love to hear more, hope you're and ozy are okay!

[@nashman3266]

I saw your "personal commentary" video and I must say you did a great job editing out the "Hunt drift0r down" games. I could hardly notice, if that was me I wouldn't even fucking play.

[@unicusservus728]

This gun is op in 2018. Its amazing. My personal favourite sniper in ghosts I don't know if its the sound or the looks but I just love it so much

[@JumperSnipera]

4:29 - when you do reload - when you do reload :)

[@MWMburton]

Yo driftor I think we all are glad that you and yours are ok. Home invasion is a scarey thing and you are very fortunate to live in a state with a castle/ stand your ground state. My personal opinion is: when a stranger enters your house with bad intentions they have sealed their fate and they would be fortunate to be able to leave the property unharmed. I don't own guns anymore nor would I like to kill an intruder but as a human being I have the right to protect my domicile and all those residing inside of it.

[@ApexCris]

It's fine for quickscoping. I just use a Thermal as i can't stand the default scope. Also i dont use chrome lined as it makes the recoil so much worse, which i dont want from a same auto.

[@meme__kun]

Just a minor correction - the rate of fire is actually 300RPM instead of 400RPM, the two fastest firing snipers are the Maverick A2 and the VKS which fire at 400RPM :P

[@cubby5683]

In the new update they changed the animation of throwing stuff with your riot shield. Now u move the shield all the way to your side to throw stuff instead of just your arm.

[@zack_1669]

I've noticed myself when using this gun, that even with slight of hand this gun takes a while to reload. I like this gun for quickscoping - although it's slow, it's mostly a one hit kill

[@Zoinkoman135]

Sorry to hear about the break in Driftor. I hope you'r dong alright, I now from personal experience how traumatic it can be.

[@seanmagee1559]

+Drift0r if you have not already seen someone has created an app called dumpy doge (a flappy bird knock off). They took ozy's face and basically made it the " flappy bird".

[@tacamo21]

MW2 Barrett is probably the most OP sniper in the series. I could quickscope, spam, and camp better with that sniper then any other. I felt confident against shotguns with that sniper!!!

[@cheonxxx]

If it's an mw3 shotgun I feel confident with a pistol

[@chrispybx]

The Bulldog isn't his next project. It's the BULLDOGE.

[@tannermiller6214]

You need to add this to the playlist

[@TheWeaponx1009]

Man Driftor, sorry to hear about the home invasion. I hope everyone was okay.

[@theotherguy6926]

Nice video Drift! Great tips but there were a couple of small errors. Firstly, unless the sniper rifles were patched, the Lynx and the L115 share the same one hit kill area from the knees up. Secondly, the Lynx shoots at 300 RPM. 400 RPM is the ROF of the VKS and Maverick A2. Another error was that the ADS time is the same as the VKS and Maverick A2 at ~0.45 seconds. Other than that there weren't any mistakes :P Hope nobody was hurt in the home invasion situation.

[@jasondodds7034]

Hey drift, you should do an in depth on the iron sights attachment for marksman rifles, I'd be interested in how much they help your mobility/hurt your accuracy, love the series keep up the good work

[@gaberay2903]

i miss this game

[@chantzgaming]

Actually got my full ghillie suit using mainly the Lynx + Thermal and Chrome Lined, but agility, quickdraw and ready up are a must

[@Killer4life7670]

Maybe i just got extremely lucky, but a while back(quite a few months ago) i managed to get my, to this day, highest kill streak of 22(i don't go for kems often, i'm a run and gun support player) with the LYNX acog sight chrome lined on a match of free fall blitz in the ghost moshpit game mode. While my friends complained occasionally of their moderate annoyance levels, I wreaked havoc with the thing, walking slowly around, ads most of the time, with stalker and lightweight. Almost got the kem, but a teamate ended the game by scoring the 16th as i ran out of ammunition and the time limit melted down. It can be done, but only on the supremely small map free fall and with the right batch of enemies.

[@Kingofthabears]

Sorry about your home invasion but I love when you say "grandpa sniping!" Also, bulldoge is fine!

[@Rashed1255]

The Lynx has to have like armour piercing rounds as default attachment since it is a .50cal sniper which is pretty much an anti material rifle.

[@InfernotheFox]

He's obviously gonna recommend the Muzzle Break, Ext. Mags Bulldog, as that is the Spray and Pray Shotgunners wet dream

[@williamlamereiii3740]

I use the lynx for quick scoping all the time I also use it with a acog. My two setups I use are both acog lynx ex mag with agility marathon quick draw steady aim focus or acog lynx armour peircing agility focus dead silent blid eye incog and the last two games I played I went 50-3 with the fist setup second setup was 48-9.

[@23tonylawrence]

I love using this gun. I use an ACOG scope and its alot of fun.

[@gkarad]

Has anyone else noticed a decrease in accuracy when using the thermal scope with snipers? I may be going crazy but I swear I've had my reticule right on top of enemy's heads and fired without even getting hit markers a lot more frequently as of late.

[@Louey7777]

I think to be a fair gun it either needs all around better multipliers, or *_especially a built in attachment, like penetrating rounds/FMJ.._*

[@josephnicholasgallan]

I think it should gave built in Gold Chrome or w/e it was. Considering it is a 50 Calibre rifle....

[@ERGSunshine]

7:30 Killed me.

[@PyreRage]

A little gun play was involved

[@BrickForSheep]

Driftor, Could you please do a special in depth on 'Clan Wars'? That would make my day 😃! Thank you!

[@expontherise1]

ACOG and stalker on the LYNX is amazing. I already had the ACOG but you suggested to add stalker and I have fallen in love with this machine now. its longer longer a gun to me as i said it is a machine with those paired up

[@alecingram4669]

Kind of like a realistic Barrett 50 high damage, very slow, very heavy and clunky, very high recoil

[@Statusinator]

Drift puttin' dem gaming-skillz to practice with his 20gauge!

[@evertbunschoten7554]

the sound it makes is just awesome :D

[@xStabizorz]

The best sound in Ghosts, but not as good as the FAL OSW or DSR though.

[@Inukitsoq]

Don't listen to him about quickscoping! It's great for quickscoping with thermal, and since it's semi-auto, you can quickly follow up with another, which you can't do with the bolt action ones. I got my first quad-feed in Ghosts while quickscoping with this weapon. The best perks for quickscoping are: Ready up, Sleight of hand, Agility, Quickdraw & Focus. When you have agility, you don't have to worry about the slow movement speed.

[@mustafaemrebasaran7701]

My recommedation is that use Lynx with Acog and Extended Mags. Perks: Focus And Quikdraw are the musts. Use P226 as your secondary. (Use this class as a slow, heavy but powerful Marksman Rifle class.) (Ready Up would be a great choice if you have an extra perk point.)

[@brainwasher9876]

Mustafa Emre Basaran it's already very slow, there's no point in trying to fight its weaknesses with perks. If you want a fast sniper it's best to just use a USR. As Drift0r said, ACOG's not good on the gun because of the already very high idle sway, raise speed is terrible (even with quickdraw its slower than most weapons without quickdraw).

[@tibzuki579]

Easiest sniper to get feeds. Love the gun

[@TheBitingIrish]

BLAMBLAMBLAMBLAMBLAMBLAMBLAMBLAM! - Drift0r

[@OvrcstYT]

Good episode, Drift. I never realized that this was such a powerhouse. I always thought it was just a low caliber spam-machine. The more you know, right?

[@paulduffy6215]

The Lynx is the best sniper in the game period. You put thermal and chrome lined on it so you see the enemy pull the trigger once and kill them. You also put focus just so you can aim better and take your time to shoot those 5 guys across map

[@RoxasLopez]

for you it might be but 95% of people use the l115 most of the time or that other gun i can't remember.

[@randomdane1512]

I just wanted to say thanks, you have inspired me to make my own youtube channel, uploading my first one now using the elgato game capture

[@sepultura7771]

Driftor,have you ever considered covering whole weapon classes in each video.Like one video SMGs,next video Assault Rifles,this would make for easier reference and comparisons ,kinda mind boggling 10 minutes on each individual weapon in my opinion

[@thediyguy6584]

sorry to hear about the break in man

[@jacksonboyer640]

if I want to blow up a helicopter i can go b-b-b-b-b-b-blam and blow a hole in it. Best part.

[@Bastard0fYoung]

Jeez, that sounds terrifying. I hope you guys are okay!

[@minimanjonesy]

I don't even own ghosts but I watch these just cause it's great xD I'm interested on what happened with the guy inside your house though

[@cxxf]

Good for stealth snipers or those who always get their first shot. USR is best for steslth because silencer doesnt do anything to the damage, just the range

[@ligaar0849]

"Blam blablabla blam!"-Drift0r

[@AveryJH]

any that ladies and gentlemen is why we carry firearms

[@lmhsucks]

And what about the thousands upon thousands of pointless and innocent deaths which occur from the use of firearms every year? Should we just forget about that? In my view, guns should be legal, but also heavily regulated (laws such as allowing you to carry concealed weapons into a bar for example, are completely retarded).

[@Legiion513]

SHawks A majority of the guns that are used in violent crimes are utilized by gang members. Regulating guns won't do anything to prevent them from using guns illegally, it'll just prevent innocent people from protecting themselves.

[@AveryJH]

(Speaking of Drift0r *rolls eyes*) Have you seen his 3 part gun control conversation with SergeantMerrell and Jayex23? Perhaps it'll offer some further insight for all of you, regardless, I generally side with the Shawks guy in the sense of a solution. Now C Prov, that's a bold statement saying anyone "deserves" to die. The interest of allowing firearms into a bar setting, generally bar ban firearms, I haven't seen a single bar that didn't have a notice at least telling people that it isn't a safe combination. Of course I live in MA so...I'd like to close then with saying palerider78 was 100% correct in that almost all of violent crimes are committed by gang crime and domestic quarrels. Mass shootings account for no more than .05% of all gun crime in the U.S. One solution I feel would suffice is train everyone how to use guns and make people take them more seriously. Gun safety is the goal, not gun elimination. Perhaps take an Israeli approach and teach everyone to defend themselves in a situation where a gun is to their head. I know krav maga myself, and feel confident that in that situation, I am much more likely to survive.

[@everythingknife8763]

SHawks Gun control is Rights control. Which Right do you want them to regulate next? Freedom of Assembly? We don't need gun control we need better education and harsher penalties for gun related crimes. Guns aren't the problem, people are the problem.

[@tristansolley8383]

Exactly

[@Liambrouillette]

Make a vid about the home invasion

[@idratherbeanonymous]

he already said he would, damn. give him some breathing room. and even if he doesn't, is it really any of your business?

[@ZombieG0asts]

idratherbeanonymous The fact that he mentioned is what's making people curious. There's absolutely nothing wrong with that. If he didn't want people to ask, he shouldn't have said anything. That's one thing that bothers me about Driftor; he tends to bring a little too much regarding his personal life into his videos. That's fine if his watchers enjoy it; it just bothers me personally. There's no reason to ask if it's "any of your business" to people who are simply curious about something Driftor said that naturally raises curiosity and wasn't even necessary for the video.

[@idratherbeanonymous]

Patrick Wilson he mentioned it because he wanted to briefly explain why his words may be garbled, not for people to poke & prod & pry. there is nothing wrong with being curious, but there is something wrong with being pushy, which is how liam's comment came off. i'm curious, but i know my place. drift being personal is what makes this channel great. it doesn't seem like it ran by an emotionless robot.

[@TheFunkytownGotcha]

probably on his Go Pro.

[@ZombieG0asts]

idratherbeanonymous There's nothing wrong with explaining why his words are garbled; he could have simply said that he was low on sleep. He didn't need to give the reason, especially if the reason was something as big as a home invasion. The comment may have seemed pushy but it's always good to not assume too much regarding someone's intent or tone when seeing their message written out, especially on the internet. Again, I have nothing against driftor for making his videos personal, I just said that it was a problem I have with his channel. Just my opinion. Also it's damn nice to see someone arguing on the internet without being a dick about it and for that I thank you.

[@HunterJup]

Do a commentary on that home invasion thing, that would be great

[@ksighost1158]

Got this gun gold.

[@TheJamsplat]

If you were the one with the firearm i hope you told him all the one shot kill areas if he did not leave and the time to kill. If you did it is unlikely he would ever ever come back. Hope your doing great and i look forward to seeing that video.

[@TheJeevo92]

I had a private QS match with 4 members of my Clan and one guy used the Lynx one used the VKS and another the L115 and me an another guy used the USR.

[@aveilhu3508]

my main problem with it is that the search bar and crap scrolls down with you

[@bigman7293]

If you use an ACOG on a sniper rifle either use the USR or VKS

[@Axofpik]

pro tip: Stun yourself, it will reduce the idle sway and kick, but not affect your firerate

[@StaRTwistyy]

Good review Drift0r, but coming from a guy that is in a sniping/trickshotting clan, the Lynx is far more superior than a USR or L115. If you put on Thermal + Extended Mags and run the perks Ready Up, Marathon, Quickdraw, On The Go, Dead Silence and Focus, it will make up for the cons of this gun. Also the reason you will use it for fast kills vs the USR is that you wont get trigger blocked because it isn't bolt action. All around good review there. SouL Twisty PS4 Leader SouL Empire

[@iaminvisible84]

Great episode as always, but as many times before Lightweight ---> Agility

[@exploit4ever]

I love the lynx... tough it felt a bit hard to play at the beginning. What I use is thermal, extended mags, ied, smoke, magnum with agog, quickdraw, aplify, focus, extra tactical (last one can be any if u ask me) and killstreaks are dog, trinity, battle hind. that is the class I destroy with :D got 24 killstreaks with it! and the smoke is so much fun if u rush somewhere, then aim thru it xD

[@Cerecyte1221]

This is my favorite sniper. I mostly Hardscope with it, but it can pull off quick scopes when you need it too. Sure its not forgiving if you miss, but i feel it gives the least hit markers. Or im just less accurate with the L115.

[@ReSpAwNz67]

Drift0r could you be honest with me right now? Do you actually enjoy playing CoD Ghosts? I myself have been able to play all CoDs all the way through until the next one is released, but with this one idk. I have 6 days of playing time and I did not really enjoy them, so I started playing other games I wouldn't normally play. Opinion?

[@FeezyMerkz]

This one seems to piss me off more than the rest.

[@ReSpAwNz67]

FeezyMerkz IV No it's not even that, I don't really get killed by BS unless someone uses that obnoxious C4 Danger Close class that I actually try to counter with grenade launchers and blast shield (but to no avail). It's like this one lacks originality and a worth while killstreak I guess. I mean each CoD has had it's own memorable killstreak, Mw2 Ac130, Bops 1 Napalm Strike/Attack Dogs, Mw3 Ac130, Osprey Gunner, MOAB, Bops 2 Warthog, VTOL, Loadstar, Ghosts? Idk it's like there's an empty feeling, and maybe it's not the killstreaks but it's definently something...

[@ExplosiveFetus]

ReSpAwNz67 It's because it's essentially been the same game since COD4. There's only so much you can do to change it, without doing something drastic, like adding jetpacks and mechs, and creating a totally different game that doesn't really fit into the series. You said you've played all of the CODs all the way through until the next one. You're just bored of it. Take a break, play some new games, maybe come back in a few months and play a few games. You'll probably enjoy it more.

[@foxdragon2967]

ReSpAwNz67 Dog, Gryphon, and Loki? Dog and gryphon are just for you and the Loki gives Care packages to help your team.

[@ReSpAwNz67]

ExplosiveFetus Yea maybe you're right, maybe instead of playing each one all the way maybe buy a cod every 2 or 3 years? Could be good for the community as well I guess. Maybe that will show activation that it takes more than 1/12 years to make a good game?

[@elizulie]

This gun used to be my favorite in the game. I got it Gold before I got any reg guns gold, it had constant one hit kills ANYWHERE with a silencer. Then they patched it, along with its ADS time. Now this thing isnt even usable.

[@micheal007bond]

Damn sounds like the lynx is a destined to be buffed
