One interesting thing is if you put a stock on the gun you get a beautiful layer of wood added to the gun

[@DevDMZ]

The wood stock is the only one that looks good

[@andrewgallagher7690]

The EBR also gets a special stock attachment that turns it into metal.

[@noahmiller4839]

@@andrewgallagher7690 the funny thing about that one is without that stock its not even really an ebr, its just an m14

That wood sure is amazing, as Gordon Ramsay would say.... Finally, some delicious fucking *gun stock*

[@markjones5672]

It's not that it's an "interesting" thing - more so that it's a callback to its original design that appeared towards the very end of WW2 and beyond that where it had a wooden design

I used it alot and it's stupid op in my opinion. At least on pc with MnK. Nothing comes close to this gun in my opinion and the ebr is nowhere near it

[@mattjackson7386]

The EBR is my favorite gun in the game, so I was pretty annoyed when they added the SKS because it sounded like deliberate power creep, but after this video I feel like the EBR and the SKS both have a place in the game. Not having infinite one shot headshot potential is definitely the biggest difference. Personally, I’m still gonna use the EBR in ground war, but I’ll probably use the SKS for any closer range maps.

[@pluto3194]

Renetti also powercreeps the other pistols. Better than the X16 and M19 + a burst mod

[@yourstillwithme]

The general consensus i have been getting from the class setups in this game: 1. the ammo capacity lower upgrade usually is a great option if you wish to upgrade ammo 2. Monolithic suppressor 90% of the time is the way to go if you want to suppress 3. Strippled griptape is always a solid choice 4. It's almost always more important to focus on speed rather than recoil control 5. slug rounds are useless 6. tighter pellet spread > wider 7. You should always use sleight of hand for smgs

[@donshyne]

1. Yeah sure 2. On most guns. Not always neccessary unless you play S&D alot. 3. Kind of a must. 4. Yes, but most people tend to add atleast an underbarrel to minimize a little bit of recoil. Some barrels also help with this. Unless you’re using an AK, Scar or Oden mobility and ADS is almost always what should be prioritized. 5. Tru 6. For shotguns, sure. 7. Especially for the P90 and MP5. With the other SMGs you can get away without SOH imo.

[@dillonc7955]

Clearly it's bugged. It should be 1 shot kills instead of hipfire kills.

Yeah good idea

[@Bob-qs3sf]

​@@mohammadramezani8784 IMO in warzone this really good if u playing teamplay, in solo its suck for long range fights, I could down a lot of enemy with this gun, but unable to finish them at all.

[@teamgriefing123]

Daniel Holmes I got the exact same class except Focus instead of the stock. You’ll lose every gunfight vs grau without focus

[@LintSplinter]

Jake 50-200m is where I usually keep them at because I’m not getting into gunfights where the Grau can engage me with the SKS, you’re right tho, but keep in mind that the SKS is a 2 shit headshot at any range and mixing one headshot in with 2 body shots gives you a 3 shot kill at a comparable fire rate to the FAL. At the least (meaning stupid far away and only hitting limbs) you’ll get a 5 shot kill. But tbh, with how powerful the SKS is, there aren’t many non-viable class set ups for it

I have a Chinese Type 56 SKS! It’s super light, a lot lighter than it looks, and the recoil is very manageable despite the larger 7.62mm round it fires.

[@jacobking4106]

I do also and I'm not sure how yours is lighter than mine. I have an AR in 7.62 and it weighs a quarter of what the sks does. Sks seems to handle recoil a tad better. If I went to battle, give me the AR

[@dizzyhint8800]

I got a Type 56 Semi during the military training in China. That's the first gun I touched. Hope IW could add an attachment to change it to Type 63, which is baiscally a full-auto SKS. China developed it to counter lots of Soviet AK in Vietnam army, during Sino-Vietnamese War

[@r.j.bedore9884]

The EBR was instantly my favorite gun when I started playing this a little over a month ago, but the low ammo capacity and recoil that made any attempt at a rapid second shot just fly over their head at anything more than SMG ranges always left me feeling like I had to be super cautious and hang way back to avoid getting severely punished for missing even a single shot. While the headshot damage on the SKS won't guarantee a one shot kill, that low recoil and bigger mags makes me think it will be much better in those midrange fights where a marksman rifle should be amazing, without feeling like you'll get punished for being somewhat aggressive. This might actually let me try to capture an objective in hardpoint with the SKS, unlike with the EBR where I tend to have to hang back a ways to avoid getting shredded by an MP5 or M4.

[@alexhooijschuur5131]

I did some calculations and against an enemy with 3 plates on Warzone assuming that you are shooting them in the upper torso or the lower torso within the first effective range you have a 731 MS time to kill. Since thats over ALL ranges assuming at least uper-torso shots, that aint half bad. Each headshot will likely decrease your shots to kill by 1 per shot, thus bringing it down to 4 shots to kill for one headshot(~550 MS) and 2 headshots will bring it down to 3 (~360 MS). 3 is the best you can get though, 2 headshots should not kill a fully armored target. So I think it could be decent in Warzone, excelling at the range where assault rifles drop off but before Snipers are needed due to distance, but I’m not sure. Even at range it really seems like it flat out outclasses the EBR.

[@snoopcodd]

Alex Hooijschuur the only problem with the SKS in Warzone is that it uses sniper ammo and you can only hold 40 bullets at a time.

[@voorachter2733]

Isn't that quite poor? Most ARs kill in the 500-600ms range

[@alexhooijschuur5131]

snoop Agreed. I’m grinding it right now in multiplayer and I’ll report back how I feel about it once I’m ready to do some warzone with it, but that does seem like a major issue.

[@alexhooijschuur5131]

Voor Achter Yes, it is strictly poorer than Assault Rifles in a head-to-head but it becomes more competitive at the point where the required shots to kill for ARs increase due to range. Headshots also make the weapon more potent by quite a bit and may make it more worth it, but I’m unsure. Gonna try it out tonight probably.

[@noahmiller4839]

In some situations yes. On their own, the mags dont make enough of a difference to change anything at 60 fps, but if you start adding those little fractions of frames together you can start to see some difference. Also, If you play at a higher framerate, it may make a difference on its own.

Hey Ace, I know these class setups have always been for multiplayer, and that was always great, but what about Warzone loadouts? I guess I'm just curious as to if you'll do a separate series for Warzone or if you could even just add a couple Warzone setups at the end to show the difference between the attachments that are good in multiplayer vs. the ones that are good in warzone, and how they differ. Just a thought, keep the great videos coming!

[@jman72898]

ZaneMain it’s way harder for him to test warzone because there’s no private matches. That’s why he doesn’t bother because he’d have to test stuff in a real match which would be a pain in the ass to keep track of in real firefights. Your gonna have to try stuff out in warzone yourself which means I would just look at what he said about the gun in MP and build my warzone class off of that while maybe making a change or two to help it more in warzone. Like for example using a much longer barrel then he would in MP etc.

[@zanemain9951]

@@jman72898 Yeah I mean I get that, I've seen his other videos, and that's what I usually do is just adapt them, but what I'm saying is like perfect example is the barrels, he says the draw backs on the longer barrel aren't worth it, which is true for multiplayer, but it takes an extra 2 seconds to just say something like "but in warzone this would probably be better for X situation" you see what I'm saying? Or even just at the end do 2 more mock up classes for Warzone, he wouldn't have to put like overkill with an MP7 on there, just the basics, this gun is better at medium range, this gun goes well with cold-blooded or double time, the weapon swap speed is slow so use Amped, that kind of stuff, it was just a suggestion

[@xxspd88xx]

Ace, can you include TTK with armor for Warzone? Interested to see how this fares when armor comes into play. Thanks!

[@eldonhill4840]

It's not too hard to do it yourself from his multiplayer TTK numbers if you want to. Base HP is 100, and each plate adds 50 HP. That means 3 plates = 250 HP. So all you have to do to find fully armored TTK is take the regular TTK and multiply it by 2.5. Then you can compare that to that big table Ace did of Warzone TTK values for each weapon to see how it stacks up. The only thing that would change is headshot TTK because it's obviously not 0 ms anymore with armor and that can't be multiplied. That you would have to calculate for yourself. Take headshot damage (100), divide the amount of health a player has by the damage (health would be 250 for 3 plates), round up to the closest whole number to get number of shots needed to kill, subtract 1 from that number because the first shot is assumed to be instant, then work that out with the rate of fire. The method I used was to divide the rounds per minute by 60 to get rounds per second, then divide the number of shots needed by the RPS to get your TTK. So, for example, it would take 3 headshots to kill a fully armored player. So the number we use is 2, because we're calculating the delay between shots after the first shot. Rate of fire is 328 RPM ÷ 60 = 5.46 RPS. 2 shots ÷ 5.46 equals 0.366, or 366ms time to kill. That math wasn't really necessary in this case though, because Ace's video already tells you that a 3 shot kill with this gun takes 366ms, so we can tell that's our TTK as soon as we work out we need 3 shots to kill.

[@seann2769]

noliat check out the mutant media channel! They also have an app that shows the TTK, shots to kill, damage, etc for every gun. They’re really responsive to comments and they will get back to you on discord, too!

[@schroederluck7984]

@@eldonhill4840 thats not entirely accurate. The multiply by 2.5 to find ttk in warzone is flawed because there is damage overlap. Like yeah this will kill in x time at 100 health, but those 2 SKS bullets will deal OVER 100 health. Unless you're dealing damage like 25, 50, 20 etc (numbers evenly divided into 100), the ttk at 250 health will probably be faster in most cases than the result you'd get multiplying by 2.5.

Range reductions exist on all weapons with bullet velocity reductions. This has been in the game since launch. I made a video about it quite awhile ago and it seems like a lot of people are still learning about it.

[@krwjr20]

Edward Lizotte way better than the FAL

[@anthonychionchio5154]

Awesome gun and after seeing the hipfire spread, maybe the challenges aren’t bugged. If so this is the first DLC weapon to differ in camo challenges. I still am suspicious that something is wrong simply because the camo challenges are exactly the same as Pistol challenges. Curious to see what other people think. 🤔

I have a question: Does aiming stability help with keeping the gun on target while being shot at?

[@OsamaMugYoMama]

Ali Altan i think you are thinking of that perk toughness or something like that. In the description it should mention helps reduce flinch while getting shot

[@HankScorpio86]

No, the Focus perk that DMR’s and Snipers have does that. Aiming Stability refers to idle sway. Better Aiming Stability equals better first shot accuracy.

I love these gun guides. Considering how inaccurate the in game descriptions are I’d be lost without them. That said it’s mind boggling how inconsistent the private matches that @TheXclusiveAce uses vary from the real world public matches. This thing is anywhere from excellent, to a hit marker dog poop. I’ve noticed that with SBMM my connection and hit detection vary a lot. Even though I’m always connected to the same dedicated server with a ping of 10-15ms consistently.

Great video as usual! I wonder if you would consider making a video about some of the Legendary Blueprint guns that drop in Warzone, I have been trying to figure one of the M4 blueprints out and in my searching I noticed I’m not the only one looking for this kind of information, but I can’t find it.

It's my second favourite marksman rifle. I still prefer the crossbow, just for the fun factor, but the SKS is my favourite for actually wanting to do good.

How does it stack up against the FAL. Let's face it the gameplay makes it look like it is everything the FAL should be.

Crow Eater it’s the better FAL, it’s an FAL that is almost always a two shot and can delete people at range.

Ebr-14 buff? My favorite gun but falls behind the sks in every way. Sks has barely any recoil, 30rd mag, and 2 shot kill exactly like the ebr 14. Maybe a slight increase in area of one shot kill, reduced idle sway, or some other stat boost. Any of those would put the ebr back into viability

[@FireheartSamurai]

I wish the SKS was still being sold & produced. I’ve heard there’s reproductions of the SKS but idk who makes them & for how much.

[@FireheartSamurai]

Vincent Alvarado Where & for how much they go for generally speaking?

[@bren97122]

FireheartSamurai SKS rifles are still extremely common on the secondhand market. Depending on condition and manufacturer, they typically range between $200-$600. You can find them for sale on various gun auction sites, like Gunbroker. If you’re willing to do face-to-face transactions you can definitely find them on firearm classified listings in your state like on Armslist. Check out any gun stores in your area that sells used guns. They’re bound to have a few. Gun shows are also a good bet, I typically see a ton of SKS rifles at gun shows in my area.

[@vintagestealth8802]

FireheartSamurai there’s a lot and I mean ALOT of SKS for sale. There’s millions of them, made by all sorts of companies and countries. They’re dirt cheap too.

I havent played since the start of season 3 but watching this video I kinda hate the SKS as it seems like a straight up better version of the EBR that I liked untill now. I mean,what is the point of the EBR now? The sks might even be overpowered? Dont know,I will have to try it for myself.

[@CoveringFish]

Ebr headshots anywhere

[@dillenaspen6956]

Yeah ebr is skill cannon for headshots at long range sks is spam weapon

[@edi0157]

Well yes but the sks still one shots to the head for 50 meters which is plenty for 6v6. Maybe in Ground War the EBR still has a place but that is reaching

[@edi0157]

I can imagine in Ground War it is still good,but you need to be really accurate,and at that point I would still take the sks for everything else. Shame that they made the sks so good to where it overshadows the ebr,I loved using the EBR for the crossbow grind when they added that

[@jordanandrew2786]

SKS will get beat out by a good EBR player at range. It may fire faster, but it has noticeable spread while firing, even ads. Most people are running the SKS as an AR from my experience.

[@g4e4rman54]

Thanks dude seems awesome

[@imwitdeschyt]

Good shit as always Ace. G.I. reflex is my go to scope. I haven't started my SKS yet. Although I have been in Plunder leveling up my guns super fast. With that being said I've made my Dragonov into the contender it needs to be. Two shot kill within 200m. Currently this MK2 carbine hits different. I can't beat the AX-50 but I'll wipe anybody with an HDR. The RAM-7 is sick in its own right. I dabbled wit da M4 & I sort of see what da fuss is about but keep in mind I just came off LMGs & da FAL. So I haven't touched a fully auto AR in quite some time.

It's not overpowered... that's exactly how a Weapon should do in Core Mode!

[@tortol4847]

A weapon being OP is based on how it compares to other weapons. This gun kills faster than any other semi auto or automatic weapon in the game, at every range. It makes the fal and ebr totally irrelevant. Its extremely broken and needs a huge nerf.

Halomaster 213 Well, ill rather see a buff to the ebr instead to make it as good and not nerf anything at all.

How is it trash compared to those weapons lmao. This gun kills faster than all of them and drops enemies in one shot all the way out to 50m via headshot, respectable fire rate and magazine and handling for a marksman (can be built to be as swift as an ar). The grau is overrated anyway, shit has the 2nd lowest ttk of all assault rifles and is only good for players who cant handle m4 recoil.
