M1216 - Black Ops 2 Weapon Guide

[@NorthEevee]

Welcome to 2020, where I still come back to this game and still get killed in BS ways by this weapon.

[@davidk7439]

Hey, how alive is this game this year? Been thinking of getting it

[@NorthEevee]

@@davidk7439 Not alive enough. I'd say that if you played BO1's campaign you should get it during a sale just to play it's campaign. If you want a new multiplayer game with gameplay similar to BO2, maybe buy Cold War. I haven't played it myself but a lot of people say that the game feels like a combination between BO2 and BO4.

[@avalonplayz3889]

@@davidk7439 Are you on PC? There's tons of people playing Multiplayer and Zombies on Plutonium. If you aren't aware some nice lads released the bo2 files and created servers for people to play on. Zombies has been modded on a lot of servers to allow 8 people on each map. It's so fun that I've been playing it for the past 2 weeks. I'd definitely recommend it. 👍

When you equip engineer, I think two black hats or EMP greanades are better than flashbangs?

[@KyouHatesU]

Yes that is Right

[@IC3DPENGUIN]

+Krukow Studios No flash bangs disable equipment temporarily....plus you have tac mask and flak jacket, the flash bangs are more useful.

[@TheUKNutter]

IC3DPENGUIN What are you on about? Disabling equipment is useless when you can just destroy them for 50 points. EMP’s are the best grenade in Call of Duty.

[@GunRecon]

TheUKNutter except emp's don't stun very well at all

[@icy3-1]

This weapon is one of the only few shotguns in CoD Mobile under the name "HS2126". Basically the exact same weapon, except Extended Mags gives it 21 rounds instead of 20... Idk why. Still a beast of a weapon, and one of two automatic shotguns alongside the Striker.

[@hey-pr6mu]

Why is it known as a "bad" weapon in the CODM Community? (same is said for the striker)

[@icy3-1]

@@hey-pr6mu Not sure exactly. This thing was overshadowed by the OHK potential of the other shotguns, and now with the Gunsmith update, the recoil has been increased.

[@hey-pr6mu]

@@icy3-1 Maybe beacause its a burst weapon, burst weapons have always been bad in CODM since its fire rate is a couple bullets per second which wont 1 burst kill, and 1 burst is 1 second, while the qq9 can kill at like . 30 seconds, also its a shotgun It cant shoot long range But idk if thats the actual reason

[@Breakaway-ic5gj]

Because it's not consistent, often it'll take multiple bursts to kill. Striker I haven't tried properly yet.

[@linxz6]

The idea behind picking Engineer for this build isn't to evade explosives, the idea is to know the location of claymores/bouncing betties so that you know the location of the enemy in the entrenched space.

[@gamebrainjagras4193]

It’s cool that Black Ops 2 also gave a police shotgun in multiplayer. HS-10 in Black Ops and the M1216 in the sequel

Clay Gruber I used the FAL quite alot but i just don't have the best aim. I got a great trigger finger but the 1st shot or 2 just misses the target. Also i don't play COD anymore i spent too many hours and i didn't feel like i improved or it was gaining anything. I mean it's great with friends but that's it. In RPG games the more you play the better you get until you can beat anyone when you're the best level. In COD you don't get that. The only thing that counts is lag and team communication. You have those 2 things and you can't loose

[@Plasmawario]

Playing connect 4x4 has never been so fun!

[@HBSanta]

M1216 is so much fun to use especially with the suppressor. You just have to make sure you aim down the sights as much as possible. No one uses the M1216 so whenever I kill someone with it while I have the suppressor attached, the death chat is always extremely entertaining.

M1216 long barrel laser sight lightweight fast hands dexterity extreme conditioning crossbow and tomahawk. One of my favorite "show-off" classes. Use it going for cool tomahawks and sticks. The m1216 is really used as a backup/to cover up missed shots. Not the most effective, but very very fun.

It fires in fully automatic, limited by it's 4-shot magazine tubes, which you manually switch. An actual burst fire weapon is limited by the firing mechanism, not by the magazine.

i like very much these videos, because these channel encourage you, to use any weapon, and that is fun. Not like other people that just say these is a bad weapon, these is the better blabla..

[@FireheartSamurai]

I'd swap Fast Hands for Scavenger. Scavenger is for the Concussions & for more ammo for M1216.

[@weakestlink20]

+DisneyFireheart The M1216 really doesn't need the extra ammo, especially if you use Extended Clip. You'll typically die before the extra ammo truly does start coming into play.

[@FireheartSamurai]

+weakestlink20 If you're good with the gun you'll still run out of ammo since you shoot 4 rounds at time or 5 rounds with Ext Mags.

[@weakestlink20]

DisneyFireheart If you're good with the gun, you'll have a pile of kills and likely some very good scorestreaks at your disposal once you need ammo.

[@FireheartSamurai]

+weakestlink20 Hontesly I really don't like picking up players' weapons since you could get a gun that doesn't match your play style & not fit the perks you have for the class.

[@weakestlink20]

DisneyFireheart Then pack a ranged pistol with no attachment. You'll need one regardless to compensate for the shotgun's poor ranged abilities, and it'll be more than enough to appease your needs while you scavenge for a weapon.

[@woutstrothmann5563]

pff winning any close range gunfight with a shotgun is too easy, its pretty much an instakill with say the ksg or remington870. shotguns are no fun and should only be used when trolling in my opinion

[@EpixGamer101]

+jaseandjohn Dude the shotguns are way too easy to use. The R870 is the easiest to use. The hardest to use is probably the s12. Either way a shotgun will win a point blank right unless the user is shit.

[@weakestlink20]

+Wout Strothmann Well, that's sort of the point of a shotgun in Call of Duty. Shotguns rule with an iron fist in close quarters and have no standing whatsoever after a certain distance. Want to destroy shotgun users? Pick them off from a distance where they're hapless and need to use an alternative weapon or lethal equipment. Quite unrealistic, but the logic behind it is quite basic and good to maintain balance.

[@maltemolin9893]

Wout Strothmann I strongly disagree with you. Shotguns in Cod may be Op at close range, but they rapidly lose effectivness at a longer range. Beyond 20 m, they are completly unpractical.You will be outgunned at that range no matter what. But in close-quarters you will dominate. So it remains a fair tradeoff: Long range utility for Close range power

[@axelmaldonado2642]

Wout Strothmann That is the point of a shotgun. What did you expect. They destroy anything in a close range fight but are worthless outside of that.

[@AdolfHitler-kv3wv]

When in certain rushing game modes like ''hardpoint'' or ''kill confirmed'' the shotguns can be used to their max and obtain good cover whilst playing that game mode

[@Xeroskia]

It's not a burst weapon because you can control how much of each 4 round mag to use from (ie. stopping mid-burst to reload). Burst weapons are forced into shooting the entire burst, while this shotgun is not. That's why it's classified as 'fully automatic'. It just so happens to only have 4 four-round compartments that need to be switched between.

[@matthewgabrielmunarriz4179]

Lol trolling some boosters

[@TwizzlerTwizzler90]

No

[@polaris30000]

It's actually a semi-automatic shotgun that is capable of being converted to a fully automatic weapon. However, it isn't designed to be fully automatic and there are resulting feed issues, such as a build up of unburned powder in the chamber, or incomplete casing ejections.

[@Tigerman9001]

I gotta say, this is my favorite shotgun. It's pretty good for aggressive play styles. But that's just me.

[@zombiekillerinc]

I'm actually pretty impressed with the pun this time around. I never would've been able to think of that.

[@kiyoskedante]

Flechette is metal darts loaded into a standard fragmentation shell.They can provide longer distance and more puncture power at distances standard shotgun pellets will not. Plenty of comments on this video will refer to flechette as a shotgun shell type, not as a pellet type, which is factually incorrect, thanks to games referring to flechette as a form of shell.

[@shade26598]

Well after getting the one hit kill challenges for this gun, it quickly became my favorite of the shot guns.

[@pooleyB96]

It's because the pellets of a shotgun are ball shaped as opposed to a bullet which has far higher penetrative ability because of it's sharp pointed shape.

[@polaris30000]

I know that it is a very simple design to convert to be fully automatic. Since it is based off of the AK platform it lends itself to being ridiculously easy to modify without significant error. I just wished to point out that it's standard firing mechanism is semi-automatic.

[@HarmonicVector]

I love how the first clip is him spawntrapping a Tac Insert user.

[@hurpdurpdurpity]

now that you've finished the shotguns. the inevitable question. Which one did you enjoy the most, and which one do you feel was the easiest?

[@polaris30000]

No problem, I didn't word it very well. As for the AK based handgun, I found one. The Romanian Draco "Pistol". Really is is just a very small AK, but it's the thought that counts.

[@SkiDaBird]

I need to use this. He makes it sound like I'm missing something. Though I remember feeling the same way after the Uzi...

Laser sight fast mag lightweight fast hands dexterity and xtreme conditioning c4 and five seven. Perfect rushing class

[@donovanj.528]

you know what? I'm going to subscribe to you just because you speak so professionally.

[@dillonc7955]

The M1216 is my favorite shotgun because it is easy to master. I recommend either the extended magazine or the fast magazine (both in video). The reload is slow so I usually use fast magazines so I'm not fumbling with that heavy tube magazine.

[@adisankar119]

the Remington is the easiest to master

[@dillonc7955]

I already got bored of the Remington. The gun is easy mode if you equip long barrel. I like the other shotguns since they offer more of a challenge lining up multiple shots up close where other people can easily kill you.

[@Chupakazul]

[@Sticker704]

That tactical insertion trolling was gold :D

[@kickstand801]

it may lack in power, but its way faster than most shotguns and has a higher output, which i respect a lot. still torn apart between this and the AA12, or even the KSG for that matter since it fires slugs.

[@ui_simba1240]

[@adisankar119]

+THE PUNISHER 00 buck to be exact

[@InkHeart2002]

XboxAhoy, after you've done the AN94 guide, have you considered doing a video analaysing the results of the weapon guide season; what your most recommended perk tier was, best lethal/tactical, attachments, wildcards? It would be interesting to see what the results were.

[@ignasias]

The extended clip attachment makes no sense on this gun, you can't possibly add a 5th tube to the mag. However it is possible to make it longer, so it'd make more sense if extended clip made it have four 5-round bursts instead of five 4-round bursts.

[@cptKerala]

When I got diamond shotguns the m1216 was the most fun (although not easiest) shotgun out of the list. The S12 was a pain.

[@mun123keet]

Literally the most underrated shotgun. This beast can even outgun R870s.

[@digistruct0r]

Um... no, my point is: when you shoot something non-shotgun (pistol, SMG, etc.) most of the bullet spread comes from recoil caused by bullets fired eariler. Shotguns IRL always have the same pellet spread, since all the pellets are fired at the same time (and by "the same spread" I mean it may vary a little between shots, but aimed and non-aimed shot wouldn't make a difference). Firing from the hip should slightly affect the direction of pellet cone, but not the cone itself.

[@jsiebert1000]

This gun is one of the most fun guns to use.

[@Delachon]

I noticed that Stuart always says something in party chat whenever he goes on a spree. I imagine it's something along the line of "OH FUCK YEAH!" whenever he gets that triple kill.

[@MikePDaTruth]

Flak Jacket, Tac Mask, AND Engineer seems like overkill. I get that Engineer kind of acts like an on-map UAV of sorts, but I think Dexterity would be more useful for a reactive shotgun class.

[@SwagginPenguin]

The default class with this gun is overpowerdly fast perfect for rushing on demolition

[@BlackhartFilms]

Stu, seeing as the next game, Ghosts, is also meant to be set in the future with different technology, would you like to see more interesting and unconventional weapons such as this shotgun in the game? Personally, I'd love to see the game designers implement some designs that were perhaps cannibalized from many weapons, or just some unusual weapons like this with innovative traits. It would help set the mood that the Ghosts aren't really organized after the take down, and would be cool. You?

[@SQUlRRELonROIDS]

I dont think you guys appreciate how great that pun was

[@Chris971.]

Yeah same here, never owned a shooter other than BF, and this is is still awesome to watch :)

[@scoldingsword]

You're correct, let me re-fraise what i said, people commonly adapt this gun to be fully automatic for fun and showing off, not really in a military sitaution. Although if the person i was saying this too knew almost anything about the gun or modern guns in general he should have known how simple it is for a gunsmith or depending on background an everyday person to change such a thing as may guns are left so open ended to changes and modifications such as barel stock grips sights ect.

[@ChimeraGamingUSA]

I love this gun. Spent a prestige token to permanently unlock it. Amazing.

[@GGL_Juno]

I use the laser, fast mag, tac insert, and c4 on this one, with lightweight, fast hands, flak jacket, and dexterity. I just put a tac insert near an objective and keep assaulting them over and over until they're all dead. On maps like nuketown, I get over 50 kills everytime.

I'd get a Laser Sight, and extended clip for the m1216 instead. I know that's 3 points already but i like my M1216 like that. I'd put Flak jacket, fast hands, scavenger, and tactical mask with a Crossbow and 2 flash grenades.

[@iSensitivity1]

I find that there are numerous weapons such as the m1216 u can semi-auto (one shot) fire it) or guns like the automatic rifle - Scar H or fire it in a unique way similar to that of the An-94. (Dual Fire Modes)

[@rtyrtyrty123123123]

Probably should have swapped ext.mag for either laser sight or long barrel. With a pistol secondary and fast hands the extra 4 rounds seems a bit meaningless when you could switch to the pistol as fast as it takes to switch barrels.

[@S4Backstabber]

My Choice: Replace Fast Hands with Scavenger: The M1216 is an Ammo-Wasting Shredder Use EMP-Grenades or Black Hats: Paired with this Buckshotspitter, you can easily take down Enemy-Hardpoints by Crippling their Defense. After that, you can resupply with Scavenger. EMP Grenades have a wider Range, while Black Hats can take down Trophy Systems

[@aidengreen6263]

Comparing driftor and Stu is like comparing McD's and restaurant. One is what I'll normally get and does the job, where the other is not something I'll have every day but nice for a change.

[@jlhyang]

eehhh...I think fast mags is a definite need and also longbarrel...I would go Primary Wildcard and triple up with Fast mag, laser, and longbarrel, Flak jacket, Perk 2 wildcard with Mask, and Awareness/Endurance/Dexterity, depending on the game mode. Finally a Kap40/BR23 sidearm, or use C4 again depending on game mode.
