[@chrisjuuh77]

One thing I’ve noticed in your gun guides so far for MW is that once you have your load out recommendations you don’t mention what your ADS speed ends up being in both cases. I can only speak for myself but I would appreciate seeing that metric or you talk about how fast it ends up being. Thanks for the great videos!

[@meandab]

Yeah I'd like to see this again like he did in the attachment guide video. Where he showed max and min potential for ads speed.

For anyone watching this after the May 18th, 2020 patch: the base ADS speed was buffed to 317ms. He made an update video on that patch, too. Stacking up on attachments like collapsible stock or stippled grip tape will improve this further, making this a more competitive weapon.

The percentages would stay the same. So Stippled does next to nothing, ADS Stock helps noticeably, and Tac Laser or No Stock helps massively.

[@suzaku3573]

WeHateThePatriots couldn’t have said it better myself

[@titancodm1098]

The mobile version of this game has an attachment called OTM magazine, which helps this gun take a 180 turn from being the slowest killing to fastest AR.

[@deltafire12]

This thing needs a buff for warzone. Like if I put ANY optic on it and use a loadout suited for long range it literally feels like a 50” Cal sniper.

[@deltafire12]

ON TOP OF bad bullet velocity. “A gun that deals MAJOR damage over long range” or whatever it’s description said…

[@thorntondrew]

Out of all the weapons so far, I have the most kills and highest KD with the SCAR. In my experience, it’s a face melter. Not going to list every detail of my set up, but I use Monolithic, a foregrip, extended mags, no stock, and a grip tape. Super underrated.

[@mikidof]

It’s my second most used weapon, just behind the Oden. It’s a fun weapon to use, currently I’m using it with the short barrel and folded stock

[@k9tr00p3r]

Theres no reason to use it over the oden or ak. Youre just punishing yourself

[@pissy4476]

Bryan Murillo Depends on where you're shooting. Upper chest: AK. Head: Scar. But overall, AK with 5.45x39mm mags is just the best.

[@deltafire12]

I got obsidian for that gun And I dropped my first nuke with it too. Imagine using a fully automatic gun that’s a two shot kill to the head - at all ranges.

[@toxeusd.m.6043]

I have a few “buff“ ideas, mixed or used separatly: 1) add upper torso multiplier (like ak or oden) 2) damage increas to 42-38 with 1,49 headshot-multiplier 3) remove 25 round mag and give the stats to the 30 round mag. Add a 50 round drum mag with slower ads- and movementspeed 4) add a 6,5mm creedmore conversion. 20 round mag, same damage and rpm, but streched damage range (like 300 blackout m13 or 10mm mp5) and a bit lower recoil

[@deltafire12]

Or a 75 round drum mag and you can turn it into the HAMR

[@aether4554]

You’re definitely going to get outgunned most of the time, however with practice and learning how to use it, you can definitely dish out damage and gain the upper hand. You must play more methodically, not run and gun, to see true success with it. I’ve had my success with these attachments: Monolithic suppressor TAC laser Collapsible stock Fully loaded Merc foregrip I avoid sights since your ADS will get worse. Run this set up guys it’s good. I got the gold skin with it, and it feels really good having it gold and not some other weapon like the M4 or MP5 which is all you see. Bragging rights haha.

[@k9tr00p3r]

Thats not true. This gun gets outclassed no matter the situation it has too much recoil and slow fire rate compared to other guns

[@k9tr00p3r]

That means itll get out classed by guns like the m4/kilo and m13 at range. And by all submachine guns up close where as other guns can atleast put up a fight

[@bryanmurillo6557]

miguel santana sorry but you're wrong as long as you land your shots its a fast killer. you have to play very smarts as the for mentioned guns have faster handling but if you're smart and know when to have your sights up shot for shot it competes with meta weapons

[@aether4554]

miguel santana Oh definitely I agree with you. You’re at a disadvantage when you use the Scar. If you’re rushing, roaming through the map and encounter someone chances are you’re gonna lose the gunfight. You must play differently and change your strategy for success. I will say this though, the gun is powerful. A few shots and they drop.

[@nono-bm8qm]

Diego, that setup sounds dodoo

[@thelegion8604]

The scar shoots a larger round than the AK in real life, so why does the scar not have a chest multiplier? Also, why does the scar shoot faster than the AK, when it should be the other way around, due to the scar’s larger cartridge?

[@pepefrog7456]

game balance

[@user-xk5ft2dy3x]

scar should’ve been a single shot marksman rifle like the dragunov and shouldve had a full auto unlock

[@zombieslayer7759]

The Scar-H/17 shoots faster than most 7.62x39mm chambered AKs at about 675 rpm whereas the AKs shoot at about 600 to 650 rpm. Remember, the chambering of the gun has little to no effect on the gun's cyclic rate. :)

It would be too much effort for what this video is, and out of my experience they dont make that much of a difference anyway.

[@themarketgardener]

Bartho Harmse Drift0r does it

[@liljonney1]

If you can control recoil well manually, 1 attachment for recoup control should do the trick in minimizing recoil as much as is necessary, even for the AK. I’ve done testing on maximizing recoil control and how each underbarrel grip compares to its counterparts and found that merc foregrip has the best decreases in vertical recoil. The others are pretty similar to each other with slight deviations in horizontal recoil but it comes down to what cons you’re willing to deal with when selecting the underbarrel. If you’re an aggressive player, try this: AK47 Merc foregrip Monolithic suppressor 5 mW laser Stippled tape (i think this is the one that boosts Sprint to fire speed) Skeleton stock

[@danielskrskr]

Why don’t you test it yourself? It’s not hard.

[@pokemondude04]

Jonathan Murillo would you recommend the ranger foregrip on the mp5 or the merc foregrip to reduce more recoil? Also, ranger says it increases aim stability as well so does that mean ranger is better for longer range combat than the merc?

[@cameronpoulton9490]

When you say attachments have a “4% movement speed decrease” what exactly do you mean by that? Does it go from 93% down to 89% as just a flat decrease, or is it actually 4% of 93 which would be slightly over 89%? Doesn’t make a big difference for these attachments that have a small percentage change, but on some that increase or decrease speeds by 10% or so it can have a bigger impact depending on how it’s calculated.

[@TheXclusiveAce]

it's a 4% decrease from 93% so just over 89%

[@christopherbailey3406]

So then stacking attachments that decrease movespeed like say barrels, ammo, and stocks, it's 4% of base, then 4% of that, then 4% of that, or is it 12% of the base?

[@Krogort]

@@TheXclusiveAce Not to sound like a wiseass, but in case you didn't know, this is called "Percentage point", aka"point".

[@gcarsk]

Christopher Bailey Weapons have max bonuses, so no, you can’t stack them all together. After usually two attachments, they stop helping. However, a video that focuses on what the cut off is for each gun stat would be nice, but I think it changes per gun, so it could be a very complex video.

[@ThePowerofCutleries]

@@Krogort Not to sound like a wiseass, but in case you didn't know, you have it backwards. What Ace is describing is a percent decrease, not a percentage point decrease. If it were a decrease in 4 percentage points, it would result in 89% movement speed, but because it's a decrease in percent, we get a little over 89% movement speed (89.28% to be precise).

This really shows you how little the guys who make cod know about guns. As someone that owns a scar 16 and has shot a scar 17, I can tell you that either model weighs less than the average ar15 and especially ar10. The idea that this gun should be that slow and handle more like a lmg is not based in any kind of reality. Let’s not forget the fact that it’s shooting a more powerful cartridge than an ak but they do the same damage in the game essentially

[@garciababy559]

The scar was my favorite gun in mw2 and I was soooo excited to see it in mw but I was so disappointed of how it performed. The gun has too many downsides: small mag, slow movement speed, slow ads, and moderate recoil. I just wished they would give it something special. Maybe give it the fastest ads or maybe shoot like a laser like it did in mw2. Man I’d be happy if it’s magazine was a standard 30 and kept everything else the same. This gun is just outclassed by every other rifle. Still, it’s my most used gun.

Boomer exactly what I thought

[@yourstillwithme]

looking back on this gun guide, i would easily recommend TAC laser now, as well as merc foregrip, stippled grip tape, and a CQC stock. the last attachment i find is prefence between sleight of hand, fully loaded, or 25 ammo clip. Scar is underrated in Traditional game modes and really doesnt need a sight, barrel, or suppressor. it can be pretty snappy and deals great damage. You just 100% need two attachments to increase ADS. Recoil is best suited for mer foregrip because you can keep movement speed respectable.

Dallas BO4 wasn’t the best game for sure but it’s currently miles above and better than MW especially with that whole micro transactions change and you can get any weapons you want just by playing and earning reserves. MW isn’t going to change except all of these bug fixes they keep tuning and not listening to real feedback, this game is what it is and unfortunately it will remain this way forever

[@Fenolmenon]

I JUST started using this gun last night, because I finished the majority of challenges for the AK47. Treating it similarly to the AK, the Scar isn't too bad. It definitely needs some attachments, I got through like 16 levels of the gun, and still don't have anything good on it yet... but keeping gun fights to the middle range, this gun owns. slightly more accurate than the AK, so for a pretty much stock gun, it can be decent, if you keep engagements on the longer side.

[@i_inf0din254]

both are pretty similar to each other.. on par in my opinion with each other.. the scar has faster ttk and fire rate, the ak has bigger mag and reload speed, scar has better range (slightly) and better recoil pattern, the ak has better ads and ability to be customized better.. they both serve their purposes for sure and are both great :) especially if you are like me and hate the m4 and kilo users and want to fight back with something reasonably useful without being a scummy shitlord like them.

[@blessredy]

I've been using the SCAR like crazy and I love this gun

[@the1niddo]

The SCAR is my baby in this game thanks to the MW2 nostalgia I get from it. An unrulely, demanding baby, but my baby nevertheless. I use the heaviest barrel, stipple grip, the stock that improves ADS speed, and then a foregrip of some type. I don't feel the need for the magazine attachments, it got drilled into me in MW2 how to handle the 20 mag cap. With that combo I have great range and slightly improved ADS + noticeably improved sprint out times along with improved recoil. Might need to play around with it a bit more, get the compensator on there at some point. But as is its just fast enough to handle Shoothouse while hosing anyone it can touch. I've had one person chew me out for using the SCAR of all things lol.

[@Trevor_Leach]

I use the longest barrel, stipple grip, collapsible stock, 30 round mag, and compensator on mine. Makes it ADS decently quick and handle well but also had decent range and not too much recoil

If you put the bipod on it for the under-barrel and attach a sniper scope/variable zoom as an optic, it is a very competitive long range wpn. Even against snipers in building and you get those headshots. Compensator, 25 RD mag and the barrel that increases bullet velocity, and damage range will add even more power to this long range assault rifle.

[@Jack72607]

Small suggestion: could you include in the next review how stopping power interacts with the various weapons? With some it seems to have more impact than with others. For example does it make the scar a 2 stk ? Or does it just extend its 3stk range?

[@croppedndocked146]

Great comment! 100% agree!

[@sg1reconalpha828]

Stopping power doubles the damage on every gun so for the scar it would be doing 70 damage in the 35 damage range in the body. Also Drifter did a video on it.

[@dillonc7955]

I know stopping power works well with the Deagle and .44 Magnum, but yeah I agree that it feels like it affects some guns more than others.

[@i_inf0din254]

Yeah as someone stated in the replies to this comment... Drift0r did a video on stopping power, all stopping power on any gun makes the guns do double damage so if it was in the 35 damage range, with stopping power you would be doing 70.. so from the sounds of that you should be doing 1 shot headshots but I am not sure how the headshot damage is affected by stopping power rounds because if the headshot multiplier is still there with headshot damage then you would be doing 112 per bullet to the head for a one shot but idk if it multiplies headshot damages for stopping power or not it may just double the bullet damage and take away the multiplier for 70 damage headshots idk how that works... but in general for all guns stopping power doubles damage.. which makes the deagle and 357 1 shot body shot in closer ranges and turns the deagle into a very nice gun even to use as a primary if your running tune up.

[@brandonbeam2077]

@@sg1reconalpha828 stopping power doesn't double bullet damage, it's a 1.4x multiplier. I did the testing in private match myself. If it was double, a deagle bullet to the leg would be an instant kill, as it's a close range two-shot-kill to the leg, but it's still a two shot, which means it's a lower multiplier. Stopping power has also always been a 1.4x multiplier in every cod game, so it makes sense here as well.

[@shehryarmalik3394]

I’ve been having a lot of success with the SCAR in my games, but you didn’t harp on the other unique attachments such as the bipod foregrip and collapsible stock, the latter which increases movement speed and ADS plus sprint to fire. I like to alternate crouching/standing, but I feel the description of the foregrip works well with this “somewhat dropshotty” style. This gun has been my go-to in terms of achieving high streaks, but I have a much more different setup: - ForgeTAC 20” barrel - Stippled grip - 30 round extended mags - Bipod foregrip - Collapsible stock Although the ADS may still be slower than other ARs, I haven’t had trouble rushing with this set up. I don’t have trouble with picking out claymores and dealing with explosives, my perks are: - Scavenger - Resupply - Amped/Shrapnel (interchangeable depending on my mood) Secondary: Desert eagle - Monolithic suppressor - 5mW laser - 13 round mag - Stippled grip - Extended barrel Lethal = C4 Tactical = Stim I wonder what you think of this Ace? I encourage people to give it a try, I actually rush pretty hard with this albeit I believe my aim is pretty decent. Dunno, just wondering if the stock and foregrip work well, or is it a placebo.

Shehryar Malik I love the SCAR-H, I use CQC Barrel Compensator Viper Reflex Close Quarters stock, I believe 30-Round Magazines It’s weird, but the SCAR gets the job done for sure

[@arbernuka3679]

If you don't have problem rushing with scar then your ping must be below 20..mine is around 70 so for me its a nightmare to rush with heavy guns like scar .

[@shehryarmalik3394]

31 Beats I agree man, absolutely gets the job done for me. I’ll give your setup a whirl, but seriously try mine out too man. I swear the shit works. Especially when you crouch/stand spam around different areas of cover.

[@shehryarmalik3394]

arber nuka it’s so weird that I’ve had the opposite experience at times, most of my games have been in lobbies ranging from 20-70ms ping (Google Fiber rules lol). I have issues with the SMGs (P90, MP7, and AUG) in terms of consistency. ARs are mostly alright except for the FAMAS which I swear at times needs like 4 bursts to register a kill sometimes (which I know is impossible)

[@ewan_mclean]

Shehryar Malik I’ll try it out for sure! I’m currently going for gold, and I only need longshots and mounted kills, so I’m running a long-range setup: 20” Barrel Variable Zoom Optic XRK Obelisk Pro Stock 30-round mags Bipod foregrip Just a suggestion if you ever need some long range fun

[@FOX814]

The scar is a powerhouse in hardcore! One of my favorites by far

[@dominicmarmolejo8846]

The Skar was the second gun I’ve gotten gold behind the M4A1 of course. But slow your play style down a bit and ads before cutting corners and with the right attachments, and it’s a great gun! Heavy hitter for sure at the longer ranges so throw on a high zoom optic or a hybrid for ground war and watch the streaks come in.

I love the scar. So far I have the kilo, m4, scar, and the ak gold. I didn’t have fun getting any gun gold in this game simply because I was forcing myself to do it for whatever reason. But when I was doing the scar I felt like I was playing with the gun I wanted to play having a blast all the way through. The only thing I hated about having it gold is that I can no longer play with the gun because all the challenges are done and it’s maxed out... I use every once in a while and have a blast doing. I’d say it’s something to do with the look and feel of the gun. It sounds good and looks good, and I love the iron sights. Idk, to me the scar is my favorite ar in the game.

[@goldenstranger7675]

You should do the mk2. A setup that works for me is 24 inch factory barrel and monolithic suppressor to increase the 1 shot kill range, stippled grip tape and tac laser to counteract the ads penalty for the barrel and muzzle attachments and sleight of hand because you want to stay close to the enemies to stay in the one shot kill range plus the weapon reloads one round at a time so you want to be able to reload quickly so you can get back In the action as fast as possible

[@CellPerfectform77]

[@NovaDragon285]

One thing to improve these guides that I notice driftor doing in his in depth videos would be to give the cap on ads time and sprintout time when using all the aggressive attachments. Since I personally always run an aggressive setup it's super helpful to know how much i can decrease those two values before the game caps me.

[@Wattsy0909]

Thank you so much for covering my favorite gun. I'm running 17 inch barrel but now switching to 20 do to better recoil and no further downside from the 17 inch. Also running camando foregrip with a tac lazer, stippled grip and the stock that just raises ads. With this setup you get an ads almost as fast as an SMG, easy to control recoil and only downside is a lazer beam yelling hey enemy I'm coming around the corner. either way this is a great gun and absolutely shreds at all ranges.

[@luchoman91]

I LOVE the Scar 17. It's my go to Assault Rifle alongside the AK-47. I dunno why people think it's a weak gun. Sure, it doesn't have a massive strength in some regard but it doesn't necessarily fail in anyway. The Scar-17 has better irons and less recoil, meant for accurate shots limited by a 20 round mag (which doesn't bother me). The AK-47 kicks like a mule and the irons can be obtrusive but it retains a three shot kill to the chest at all ranges. If I recall, despite the poor wording they buffed the ADS speed of the Scar. The Scar is a reliable gun, don't doubt it.

[@fadegarcia3084]

3:46 Weally long ranges

[@cosmicyoke]

I think the main edge this gun has over the other comparable guns is that unlike the AK, it’s recoil is really controllable and smooth even at long range despite doing less damage, and it kills with one less bullet than the Amax. The closest thing to it is actually the SA87, which one could argue is better though both suffer from handling issues the moment you decide to stack attachments for range or stability, with the SCAR suffering slightly less. I think a good way to balance is to increase the base range or 3 shot kill potential out to the same range as the EBR since they both use the same ammo.

Ace, you forgot the bipod foregrip, the unique underbarrel attachment for the scar It combines, essentially, the operator foregrip and the bipod, and takes the place of the ranger foregrip It has recoil control, plus even more recoil control when crouching and even more with prone The math was done, it reduces recoil by 51% when prone It increases aim down speed and decreases movement speed as it's penalties Honestly, it perfectly shows what the scar is for, tactical positioning and range, if you like playing smart and destroying braindead rushers, the scar is for you :) -a guy who has an obsidian scar, camo, emblem, and calling card
