Best Sniper Rifle in CoD WW2? | CoD WW2 Gun Guide #36

[@quickshot4050]

So basically the Type 38 is a better Lee-Enfield with a smaller mag?

[@damiencoonan6572]

QuickShot yes

[@DLBBALL]

Yes. Which is why I believe the Type 38 should have more idle sway to balance it with the Lee Enfield.

[@DLFLux]

I’m on the fence with snipers on COD, I’m not a fan of quick scoping but at the same time I think it’s the only effective way to use SRs. Considering the pace of the game, size of the maps and lack of open lines of sight on most maps, actual more traditional sniping doesn’t fit the game. With the exception of some stages of War maps, for most part, quick scoping is the only way to be truly effective with a sniper rifle and the only fix to this would be to stop putting in or removing the SRs from the game which will never happen. I’d like to see COD change it up, forget adding a battle royale style mode and create a mode with much larger maps with teams of up to 20-30 players on each side as a larger version of Domination, similar to Conquest on Battlefield just without vehicles and stuff. This will allow for more traditional sniper gameplay, and a more tactical approach to the game when using other classes.

[@Aidan-Lynch]

DLFLux this game mode would be amazing. definitely agree cod needs to branch out to larger scale game types

[@Funnylittleman]

Well, they did this and half the people hated it 😂

[@DLFLux]

@Josip Marušić already playing it lol, this comment was made a year before warzone came out 😅

[@irishdeano92]

The M30 Luftwaffe Drilling with rifle bullet. 🤔

[@liammoore7262]

LOL

[@jamesdilorenzo6600]

It's basically the Lee Enfield with a faster ads

[@davidjaramillo2940]

With a 4x

[@DLBBALL]

bob Jaramillo Luftwaffe doesn't get a 4X...

[@erikandrehoglund55]

Dean Mc Kinney hahaha

[@5folklore]

My favorite sniper is the lee enfield. My thoughts on the type 38. I feel that it is a bit to good right now, it shouldn't outperform the lee enfield in every category, the only thing the lee enfield has over the type 38 is the magazine capacity.

[@ReboyGTR]

M1903 Largest one-hit-kill area.

[@Nrzpokrter]

ReboyGTR Agree

[@PhilVTNG]

Yup totally agree. I love the Faithful II.

[@percychan1121]

I think M1903 feels like more heavy than others and it makes me think that I am really playing a sniper.

[@jackmack4181]

But not at the feet

[@percychan1121]

If you have ability to shot the feet I think you can shot others part more easily.

[@nicodemusblackowl]

I think the Type-38 is perfect the way it is.

[@JAYfromTHEworld]

Bryon Hutcheson Agree I barely see people playing it so I dont really care wether it is OP or not Most of the time I compete against kars

[@ItsRauben]

Its way too op needs a nerf

[@nicodemusblackowl]

A nerf is unnecessary. You rarely ever see it being played in multiplayer and most of everybody is playing the Kar98 or the Lee Enfield

[@zimfearme7282]

Type 38 doesnt have the satisfying crack of the other sniper rifles.

[@Topo541]

I only like Type-38 of it's "seemingly powerful cannon sound" when firing, but other than that, i don't think it is that good compare to Kar98 and M1903. It's 4* Optic sucks and it's fire power is not strong. Nevertheless, i have learned in this video that it doesn't sway as much as other sniper rifles, and have aim assist without the need to hold breathe. So, i might try it out again as sometimes, i don't feel like holding my breathe while sniping.

[@markosverdhi]

The lee einfield is my favorite, but i really want the arisaka. They shouldnt nerf it, the snipers are pretty well balanced at the moment and I really like that

[@InvntdXNEWROMAN]

Type 38 needs a scope nerf. One dude got 120 kills the first half of a domination match on shipment. Luckily, he wasn't playing the objective and we won. But fuck was it aggravating when you Spawn and die 15 times in a row.

[@thatmex]

So if the Kar98K is a 1 hit kill waist up, how come sharpshooter magically increases damage and can get a kill on the thighs too. There's been some moments where I'm full health and someone shoots me in the lower waist with the Kar and it kills me. I've even noticed a damage changes myself when using the sharpshooter and without it too.

[@spirit-8567]

Good video, but I don't feel the Type 38 needs a nerf. The weapon balance in this game is overall very good, save for the Sawed-off.

[@Dr.EmmettBrown.]

Using the scoped basic training reduces the sway. If you combine this with ballistic calibration you get very little sway

[@dustypurk9335]

I think the Type38 with a 4X sight is where it's at. It's a quick scoping machine

[@JAYfromTHEworld]

Dusty Purk Really? You're joking

[@dustypurk9335]

No really. I find it amazing to quick scope with

[@JAYfromTHEworld]

Dusty Purk But the time to scope in is longer than on the regular scope I think

[@dustypurk9335]

If it is its not even noticeable in my opinion. You should give it a shot. I use airborne with scoped, Type38 with 4x, rapid fire and ballistic calibration. It seems to work really well for me

[@JAYfromTHEworld]

Dusty Purk Thanks I will try it : )

[@chrisn8226]

no nerf required... I normally say that the game is the game and you have to improvise and adapt. But people get killed by fire shotguns way more than being quickscoped by a sniper and there is a lot less crying. Instant death from up close is ok, but instant death from far away is bad? Realignment of perspective is required here. Shotgun up close one shot insta-kill takes less skill than up-close sniper insta-kill. Anybody with thumbs can shotgun, but qs'ing takes practice and focus. I never thought I would get salty about an Ace video, but the question (not Ace's fault, btw) brought out a slightly salty answer... As usual, thank you for your work Ace!

[@edward251198ify]

Logi Science I hate sniper and shotgun, both haha.

[@adamplayz-qf8ry]

Ikr, stupid fucking fire breathing shotguns, I'm sure dragons didn't exist during ww2

[@P4brotagonist]

The whole "this needs a nerf" thing is the reason the games get so stale to me. The gun has the same 1 shot area as the Enfield. It has a BARELY quicker ADS time and a BARELY faster rechamber time. The difference is that the Enfield gets double the ammo AND ammo capacity. These are the differences(barely). So instead we now think it needs a nerf so instead it can be a worse Enfield.

[@TheXclusiveAce]

Who said "this needs a nerf"?

[@P4brotagonist]

TheXclusiveAce You didn't, but you have a good knack for when things WILL get nerfed. If they are nerfing it, they aren't arbitrarily doing it without complaint.

[@TheXclusiveAce]

I tend to have a knack for it because I understand weapon balance in CoD better than most. It's literally my job to break these thing down to their most basic level and I have many years of experience with this. Clear weapon imbalances tend to be pretty easy to pick out before complaints even begin. I feel buffs and nerfs are most often a result of global data, rather than complaints from the community and I agree, they don't typically nerf things arbitrarily by any means.

[@P4brotagonist]

While I would agree with some of it, global data is actually not great on "Overpowered" guns. Unless you are only looking at "most used weapon," you typically have people of every skill level using the same thing. Other companies sometimes show their global data on things that the community considers overpowered, and while sometimes it clearly IS overpowered, there are many times people just don't like something because good players excel with it. However, what global data will typically show with these things is that the weapons globally perform extremely average since players who are terrible use the weapon just as often as good players use it. My other point was that by constantly nerfing things to be "in line" with each other, each gun loses most of their individuality. I know there were MANY broken things in MW2(Tubes and commando knifing) but one of the most interesting things is that for nearly every single gun in that game, you could find a group of people saying that the gun was overpowered. MW2 had an incredible variety of weapons and honestly I can't really tell you a single gun that functioned the same as any of the others. While TTK was low, you could easily translate that to a higher TTK while retaining the original designs of the weapons. With modern CoD titles, every other weapon has their highs and lows gradually tightened and brought in line with all the other weapons. Eventually the PPSH feels just like the MP-40 which also somehow feels like the Type 100 after several buffs. They all lost their individuality and I can honestly use any of them the exact same way since they feel exactly the same(and stat-wise end up quite close). Now I basically have 1 type of SMG(those three) and the fast firing group(Thompson and Waffe) who also now feel the same after nerfs and buffs. Effectively now there are "three" SMGs instead of all the pre-nerf version that felt different. That is what makes it stale.

[@DLBBALL]

Tbh I feel the same. But this game takes place in 1944. There aren't many things they could change around. Although some guns like the EMP44 are genuinely unique.

[@DLBBALL]

Sniper rifles still should absolutely never outgun other weapons in CQC...

[@JJ.Picasso]

Dude Lmao well if I play smarter than the scrub spraying with a ppsh I should be rewarded for outgunning him

[@thelolicon5071]

But they should

[@AD_Gray]

Love this series :) Thank you! I like that karabin class I'll try it out :)

[@BDawgg72]

The absolute best info on how your in game weapons work thank you once again

[@apraetorian9986]

I just finished the special order for 100 matches for 2 heroic bribes and got the last 2 variants I needed. Shingles 2 and ronin 2. I now have every single variant in the game aside from the ones that no one has

[@Orochi97Jr]

The Karabin is just a more powerful version of the M1 Garand. I used to use the Iron Sight on it.

[@shivampaw1976]

Been waiting for this one for so so so long!! Was going to pester you on stream next time! Saved yourself some pestering but lost yourself some bits :p (which you'll get anyway!) Thank you!!

[@Brownie-ms6sv]

I use the Karabin with a similar set up to that, it's the best semi auto rifle in the game imo.

[@leotaylor262]

Nice profile photo

[@Brownie-ms6sv]

@@leotaylor262 Thanks, you too

[@darthfervor33BBY]

I love the type 38. Pulled the heroic Ronin the first day it was released. Karabin is fun with infantry and armored divisions.

[@kmanceltics]

Ace you should do a video about callouts. For example, does "we have control of the battlefield" have any significance (eg. spawns switched)?

[@brucetumblinjr7980]

Personally, I've been running with the Lee Enfield

[@loft1970]

Honestly, although I love sniping/quichscoping in this game, I hate how different sniper have different scope sensitivity. The kar, Springfield and Karabin have a faster in scope sense then the Lee Enfield and Type 38. It makes it difficult to switch between them from game to to game. The same with them giving aim assist to some snipers and not to others. Just make them all the same, so that it's consistent feeling.

[@ImCanine]

The snipers dont need more nerfs! Honestly you have to be a good player to do well with them... While the PPSH, Volk, MP40, BAR ect are all super easy to use. I dont understand why people want to cripple snipers so bad :/

[@cryptonize2105]

One of my fav channels

[@Evercade_Effect]

Thanks so much Ace! Been wanting you to do a guide a snipers for a while.

[@ShakeMyHeart1]

Anyone notice the type 38 rifle it said "九九式", if u see closely u will see it, which mean type 99 not a type 38, oh well is call of duty...

[@gabrielpoujol3808]

oh really?

[@rubyrudy]

Great vid, been waiting a long time for this one.

[@PLG-AlphA]

That was a great vid ace!

[@nath-wp7xp]

Karabin is the best sniper rifle in the game. Put 4x scope, rapid fire, extended mags and ballistic sights and it is a beast. You can treat it like a rifle. On shipment it is a machine. Able to easily finish the sniper headshot challenges.

[@amiller7764]

Robert1811 yeah this pissed me off in 1944. Dude was 80+ plus kills just murdering everything that ran any which way. I was getting one shotted with this and it was NOT head shots in core. So i was a little suspect about this particular game but feel like i need to have a karabin setup on standby for this specific situation when there are a couple of people running this on the other team. It makes it really hard to run anything else as I like to run and gun smgs and shotguns and i just could not this game

[@adammoeller3953]

Can you do an update video with the iron sight one shot kill areas and aim assist stats for the other sniper rifles, now that the attachment is available on all of them?

[@99MCappie]

i made a sniper class pretty similar to your example with the type 38 only i switch out mountain and lookout with resistance and undercover. i feel like the perks that come with resistance are much more useful than those than are paired up with mountain

[@Sethxz]

The kar98 feels so funky with irons I don't think they should mess with the damage multipliers when using one. That's just me anyway. I loved iron sights in WAW even the ballista in bo2 but I can't do anything with the Kar irons in this game.

[@tz1843]

According to the website Call of Duty wiki . . . . "Ballistics CPU in previous games as it reduces the idle sway when aiming with a sniper rifle. It does not affect rifles equipped with the 4x Optic or the Iron Sights attachments". . . . Is this correct?

[@feroxusfox4394]

Can you please update this to the latest update because I got the de lisle

[@supbrahimhammer.421]

Type 38 and ptrs 41 are my favorites

[@wildevil]

wait, is the type 38 a dlc weapon? It's not in my game.

[@humanthefinite8304]

The type 38 variant I have, has a horrible scope. Are they all that bad? Maybe that was a balance decision.

[@motonoob5485]

I like type38 most...it also sounds incredible!

[@mattcheeseman1]

Great as always, need to get a type 38 it seems

[@patrickmyers1335]

I think you should test the Springfield but the Faithful/ Faithful II the aim down sight time seems quite a bit faster than the base rifle.

[@jordyalmonte42]

You may have to do an updated video because 3 or 4 snipers have been added since this was uploaded

[@bradynquinn1317]

Try the ironsights on the Karaban it’s boss it feels like a rifle

[@MrMichaelPaulMartinez]

My favorite sniper is the Bren with a 4x optic. 🤡🔫

[@tyresequadush6496]

The lever action is the best sniper

[@samsacs3244]

Is the type 38's one shot kill area bigger if u put high caliber??

[@thijmendemooij1873]

Can anyone tell me why it feels like the kar98k is better at quickscoping than the springfield?? The ads time is the same but the springfield kills easier (1 shot kill box)

[@markjones5672]

Although the M1903 has been my most consistent one-hit sniper (for obvious reasons) I still seem to get hitmarkers every so often even if I'm shooting them through anything

[@rossburg84]

First, these are the best videos for all things COD. Thank you...can I ask did they nerf Armored? I'm getting my ass blown off after that video about surviving a pincushion sticky.

[@brendanbancescu5884]

Hey Nero can you give us some info on the throwback basic trainings? If you're not already. Can we stack rapid fire and steady aim with double tap?

[@mr.albro14yearsago11]

Type 38 and Kar98k are my favorites

[@Currywurst11Pommes]

Hello. Can you say me pls... was the carabine 38m a few days ago buffed or nerf ? I think carabine 38m fire rate is slower.

[@andreivaldez6713]

I remember when the Kar had a faster ADS time and kids were saying it was "balanced".

[@yasperuuu6844]

im so glad its 75 on dom now :D and nice vid!

[@ragemontage4483]

there is also a canadian version and a australian version of the lee enfiled.

[@Beekiller_13]

I play almost only hardcore, and prefer the Karabin with Infantry for the idle sway reduction.

[@rcruz1211]

With all the changes to the rifles, which one do you think is top now? I still feel the ITRA is very consistent overall.

[@simona3927]

[@thecaptain1242]

The bar and the m1903 fire the same round but the bar takes 4-5 shots to kill? What is logic

[@ken-gu1qz]

Karabin with FMJ and Stopping power in throwback playlist is a 1 shot to kill.

[@godlike182jonas7]

Nice vídeo! 👏👏👏

[@Texas2089]

Is Scoped worth it on snipers now that it reduces sway on them? Be nice to see some comparison vids of snipers with/without ballistic calibration and with/without Scoped and see how well they stack or if one is clearly better than the other or they're the same.

[@random_gamer_guy82]

I'm absolutely shockingly bad with snipers, but hats off to quick scopers and traditional snipers. God I've tried so hard but I suck.

To bad people don't use the sniper's to actually snipe they just use them as shotguns/SMG in close range battle beyond OP. I can't believe they secretly buffed the ADS to bring them back to what they used to be at launch it's bullshit.

[@nightmare8292]

AntiLag BoostAddiction what the fuck are you saying this is a game! Do you think they fucking jumpshotted and dripshotted irl!? Get a grip kid

Sethxz Considering snipers are the most OP guns in the game everyone gets shitted on so what are you even saying?

[@antilagboostaddiction8322]

Forth Nightmare So because it's a game that makes it ok right? Lmao GTFO kid

[@Sethxz]

AntiLag BoostAddiction Careful, your sodium levels are dangerously high.

[@anthonycuevas7173]

I suck at quivk scoping, so i use lee enfield, and try to go for hard scope precision shots to the head.

[@xxnotabotxxyt6422]

For anyone still watching today the best is the 1903 or if you have the dlc ones it's the SDK 9mm ( I have diamond snipers and all dlc ones)

[@1917MSC]

Thanks for info.

[@anthonylatempa6921]

My biggest sniper “snipe” is that it’s like a long range shotgun. I see plenty of misses scoring a kill. Not fair. Quick sniping is too powerful. At least make it a kill only if it’s a hit not a near miss.

[@madddvillain]

anthony la tempa if you're referring to killcams it's already a wide known fact that killcams and gold star cams are extremely inaccurate of how it went down in real time. Snipers in this game have to be pretty accurate to get the shot off and hit bit it's nothing that can't be learned with practice

[@joedragon7793]

anthony la tempa yeah your just dumb

[@DethSaniel]

Oh boy...the 38 needs no nerf!! The faster ads and fewer rounds than the enfield balance out and makes it feel different enough without making it 'op' lol i really feel that phrase is thrown around too freely these days. If the arisaka's ads is slowed down then it would be another pointless weapon outclassed by others

[@fluffywhiteducky]

The only nerf I can see that would be reasonable for the type 38, is maybe drop the standard magazine size from 10 to 8, to balance out the faster ads. However I think it is fine as it is.

[@alecingram4669]

fluffywhiteducky it has a 5 round mag standard actually, 8 extended.

[@fluffywhiteducky]

Alec Ingram Oh your right, whoops. Then id say definitely not nerf it. If anything bring the kar and springfield back to 400ms ads time. I hate how slow they are now, and I'm not even a quick scoper.

[@dylanmcphee9206]

Thanks m19083 and kar98k are my go toos kar98k better tho dont have type 38 yet tho soon gonna unlock it

[@unbalancedredneck5778]

Does the scoped perk help on sniper rifles?

[@calebtheking6648]

if you are reading this I'm pretty sure you looked up this type of video just so you can either quick scope or camp online

[@aidenshearin1637]

How much did requisitions actually get nerfed? I don’t use it but I’m just curious

[@changhee95]

TheXclusiveAce. would adding the scoped basic training reduce the idle sway on sniper rifles? I have a sniper class with scoped and ballistic calibration, and I feel like the idle sway is a lot less than before. Could be me though.

[@look2much2]

Id say not covering the Sniped basic training in this vid was a Huge screw up.

[@Til_I_Overdose]

doesnt matter cause they are gunna get nerfed for being "too OP"

[@quickshot4050]

Good, me personally I either want an ads/sprintout nerf, or a re-center speed nerf, as someone who rarely snipes, I should be all of a sudden great at sniping, but in this game I am

[@Bartonman]

They should

[@Vendingmachine24]

How long untill cry babies get a nerf for the type 38?

[@elking4231]

Jeffrey Crosby Idk but they’re usually the people sledgehammer listens to so it’ll be pretty soon

[@albgamingstudio4b270]

My fav has to be the Lee!

[@retsila4750]

After this video the ptrs is the obvious winner

[@phamson9435]

The only noticeable advantage of the type 38 vs the lee enfield is the slightly better ads time The rof advantage is only about 2 rpm better so it's practically unnoticeable. If this video gets the type 38 nerf i would be pissed

[@brandon1533]

At this point sledgehammer just keeps buffing the lmg's and is nerfing the snipers into the ground. So many people stopped sniping already because they can't compete and more and more people are just headglitching with a lmg.

[@antilagboostaddiction8322]

Brandon Clearly you are playing a different game then everyone else lmao doesn't get anymore OP then snipers in WW2

[@damiencoonan6572]

AntiLag BoostAddiction snipers aren't op anymore not since the nerfs

[@antilagboostaddiction8322]

Damien Coonan What nerfs they all just got buffed the ADS is the same as when the game started when they were completely broken the only chance you have against snipers are if they miss there shot they control the gun fight not you which equals BROKEN.

[@JohnJohnson-fy6dt]

Boi have you played shipment? Half the time I get into a lobby I get dropped by a sniper with no chance

[@damiencoonan6572]

The only sniper to receive a buff was the Enfield. At the start the Springfield and kar were op but both have 2 or 3 nerfs and up close a shotgun will win because they don't need to ads for accuracy

[@alijnkuijer570]

Ace I think you made a mistake: the RF ROF of the Karabin is much more than 6%

[@TestingTesting1]

They’re all like Specialists. Instakill, unlimited range and they shoot through any surface. Lethal at any range and deadly when it comes to shrinking the player base!

[@jaceksenkow]

Hi, great video again !! I was wandering how to get those details u show for all guns. Just thinking about body shot areas ect. Donno if u can help. Cheers

[@danghoang7455]

why is the karabin rapid fire bonus so high

[@georgejennings8743]

I think all sniper rifles should have an iron sight attachment. It is ww2 it's set in

[@anonguy5911]

Type 38 is my favourite, faster rof and ads time and in my experience it gets one shot kills 90% of the time

[@csqpad]

CAN YOU DO A VERSUS OF SVT 40 AND TYPE 5 SINCE THE SVT 40 HAD A BUFF ON ITS RECOIL

[@motownman52]

Is your video correct that the type 38 has a faster Sprint out than standard ADS? The video showed them to be 350 ads 340 Sprint out

[@TheXclusiveAce]

Yep!

[@motownman52]

Wow that's crazy

[@hunterrosalies237]
