The Best Ammo Types in Modern Warfare II! (Full Breakdown)

[@gmiller1348]

Some of these ammo types really do not warrant having a downside with how situational they are. Using them as 1 of your 5 attachments IS the downside

[@collinis1]

Exactly. I hate the attachment balancing in this game.

[@Dragoonsoul7878]

From the gun guides Ace has done, there are guns which if they deal even 1 more point of damage it takes 1-less shot to kill. Incendiary would need a downside. Frangible would be run by a lot of people just to annoy and frustrate other people causing the others to play worse. LMG and maybe Snipers would run AP just to melt things through walls. This will be especially bad when Shipment returns. Over pressured would be ran by everyone who didn't want to exploit the above to not worry about Snipers as much. Without these downsides there would be no reason to not use these... given your other 4 attachments slots will have negatives.

[@KekusMagnus]

Their stats are based off the real-world drawbacks of using these ammo types. Regular bullets are pretty optimised for killing, so they are best in most situations. I'm glad they kept things this way and didn't introduce a meta where everyone is running around with incendiary ammo. I personally run Hollow Point on almost every gun and it's working great

[@deadarashi6462]

I think +P ammo should also deal more flinch based on the caliber of weapon using it. Like, how does 5.56 cause the same flinch as the .338 on the RAAL?

[@pathosfear6290]

If that is a realism argument, it is flawed. Whatever ammo you get hit with will cause you to "flinch" to say the least. Flinch your way right out of combat, dead or incap, and even if your vest stops it, it is going to feel like someone punched your lungs out. And conversely, if it's not realistic, and an arcade game, then.... Balance it in a way that makes it fair. That's my two cents.

[@deadarashi6462]

@@pathosfear6290 was more of a logical reasoning argument more then realism. But they do go hand in hand. Regardless, you can still balance it easily enough. One could argue that all guns should have the same "base" flinch level and then you flinch more/less based on the caliber you're hit with

@@deadarashi6462 I feel like that could make certain classes op, like if lmgs and the semiauto marksmen rifles gave more flinch, that would be a big buff they wouldn't need.

[@Acevern]

Bro the effort you put in making this video is insane. Mad props, was very helpful.

[@Sixclickz]

High velocity is amazing on snipers and marksman rifles in Ground War. Besides reducing the time it takes to hit your target at long range, it also reduces bullet drop significantly. I use it on all my long range GW classes usually with more velocity increasing attachments and tuning to make snipers and marksman rifles almost hitscan with barely any drop at most ranges.

[@neokim5492]

Ace you might want to test the overpressured round on a player who is firing, as I noticed the flinch is not completely vertical. It’s also horizontal and often throws me off target despite of I’m using a mouse/keyboard on PC. And one more thing is that the effect of the ammo type seems to be easier to observe in 3rd person mode.

Another small downside to all custom ammo is that you lose the ability to pick up ammo from similar weapons of other players. Like 5.56 are everywhere but if you run custom ammo you wont pick it up unless they also have same ammo type.

For 6 v 6 maps I've been using armor piercing on every gun that has it as an option. Even without knowing the exact numbers it seemed like a no-brainer compared to the other ammo types. Bullet velocity is pretty much irrelevant on 6 v 6 maps. I've never noticed a difference between fast and slow projectiles since the maps really don't have long enough sightlines for it to matter. So throwing away velocity in exchange for literally any benefit is a good trade on 6 v 6. It makes destroying counter UAV's, harriers, wheelsons, etc. way faster and helps mitigate this game's goofy bullet penetration mechanic where you pretty much can't kill anyone through anything unless you have armor piercing.

I can barely find anything to shoot through in this game, doesn't feel worth using a slot for most of the time.

@@LegendaryPlank It's been a lot better since the last patch. They fixed a lot of the random shit you couldn't shoot through like railings and plants. I stand by armor piercing as the best 6 v 6 option more so than even before. That said, there are calling card challenges for assists, and frangible ammo is great if you're working on those.

Hey Ace, don’t know if you accounted this in your testing, but the incendiary ammo actually has an unwritten bonus in that whenever fire damage occurs, a player has a significant flinch effect. Haven’t tested it myself, but saw a player switch to it to counter a DMR class and it was highly effective, seemed to play that job better than the flinch ammo.

I appreciate the section on the SP-R bros! at least the idea I had of using +P to help in those situations wasn't off even if my expectation wasn't near reality. Quick question: is there a difference with flinch depending on the optic choice (i.e. target using a red dot or an optic with magnification would see more flinch than one using iron sights)?

[@bruhgetbooped]

it would most likely be naturally worse for those who are using any magnification. its like when you zoom in pretty far using a phone camera and bump it slightly. Hopefully you get a response from someone who can properly test.

[@lunchpin403]

The angle the reticle raises by is the same, it just has a greater perceived effect with the higher zoom optics like geo said

[@izumo23]

​@@bruhgetbooped that part makes sense but I wonder if the different optic options have more or less resistance to flinch since you can tune optics to favor flinch or ADS and iron sights have the "most resistance to flinch". (outside the visual impact) background: I was using +P in the m16, ran into someone with an SP-R, I got first shot but got beamed in the head anyway. kill cam made it look like the additional flinch didn't do much of anything to knock their aim off.

[@ethanboyd7843]

I remember running frangibles IRL when they hit the market. They don't penetrate because frangibles were invented (like the early blue glass 9mm bullets) to AVOID penetrating anything but the midnight creeper or mid-flight airplane borrower without killing the mailman downtown and bothering ppl that have a phobia of things that can kill them while flossing. Their rep for more nasty wounds is cause they make patients instead of the usual bodies. Great vid, I appreciate ur work and it seems IRL and in game they stayed true.

[@ethanboyd7843]

The Hollow Points tho, are silly in game. Theyre not favored by soldier and hunters because they frag into grenade-like shrapnel tornadoes, but because they bananna peel back to a lead core faster, hydrostatically shocking and poleaxing when all that energy goes into the gopher before he get's his flat herbivorous teeth into your unsuspecting family. The massive wounds attributed to AR's are no different than any high-velocity round. Worst possible choice for armored players. I'd like to see slap rounds but +p armor penetrating bullets in game are the only best choice.

Hey ace, I had asked in stream when you'd be doing this video and you answered "coming at some point but not a priority" but then came out with it. Thanks a lot, this part has been my least understood of mw2

[@Wondobar]

This is a very illustrative and informative comparison video. Good job!

[@FamilyFalls]

Damn.. im loving all the content! Reminds me of the MW19 days when I discovered you. I hate how CoD isnt very descriptive with stats. Thanks for teaching me everything I know!

[@meat1703]

this video was really well made, good shit man

[@Beebo2311]

I mainly play DMZ... and in the light of that: ammo peircing makes killing unarmored bots harder. and before you think what kind of person cares about an unarmored bot. well if you actually play DMZ you'll know. but what i deducted from this video is i should be using the Hollow point on my sniper rifles so targets can't flee from me. i'll be using Oveeerpressured on an anti-sniper stashed gun. and i'm gonna use incendiary in building 21. and other than that on my normal Al mazrah primary weapon i'll be using high velocity ammo.

[@nyu7835]

The fact that XA is giving us the stats of the guns and the developers didn’t even bother to put some numbers in the game is ridiculous! Love your videos XA ❤❤ Keep the great work!

[@shottytheshotgun]

I was running incendiary yesterday and couldn’t damage a guy prone at the capture point. Bullets wouldn’t penetrate the flag pole!

[@mikeshlyak7070]

I've been abusing the armor rounds. That extra damage before an enemy pops out is MASSIVE against mega aggressive players. On a smg within a building with the rounds was surprisingly solid vs campers, and the high velocity rounds on a scar/rpk/m13 felt like cheese.

[@Automaton_Sleeper_Agent]

Went to this vid for making an anti armor lmg set up, thank you, this was extremely helpful

[@spectrebeast]

*petition to hire XclusiveAce to make the next cod game lmao bro is the goat*

[@Prawnleem]

i was looking at the ammo types yesterday and thought i should really test them as there might be some op stuff lingering, but i thought i'll wait for xcluvieace to make a vid and there we are.

[@Sm1th1997]

I was waiting for this video!! Thank you Ace 👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾

[@Qwest336]

I'm constantly getting random headshots and upper torso one hit deaths against BRs and snipers. So I used Overpressured on everything to combat it and, since I usually hit the first shot, it's made a huge difference in my results.

[@tonyhammer3588]

I use overpressure also. It’s Al I use and it’s awesome.

[@badjuju4535]

informative, concise and well presented once again. and no fast shouty gibbering! top marks!

[@RoboBobo-to7fz]

Armour Piercing bullets on LMG's turns everything into dust. It's lower you bullet velocity, but if you add right silencer (i think Polarfire), it will turn you LMG into doomsday weapon.

[@SmokeyOwOs]

I love being that guy that uses frangible and Hollowpoints tbh. Makes challenges so much easier

[@btk_vinny]

great vid man props for doing the research no one else wanted too

[@shady8099]

Fyi about armor piercing, you can equip it and tune it for more damage range and better recoil with no downsides besides the bullet velocity mentioned. Good to use if you don't know what to equip for the 5th attachment. Makes a pretty big difference with SMG's imo

[@Adonnis22]

Been waiting for this first video I found on ammo

[@nowheresomewhere7472]

Thanks for the informative video bro. Ima try to give the crippling one a chance. Also I'm gonna have to check out that laser video sometime.

[@TheBlueknight751]

Ammo types in video games is one of the reasons I loved FNV so much. Btw +P is high pressure. The cartridge is loaded with more powder, and as the name states this increases the pressure inside the weapon, pushing that round harder and faster providing an increase in dmg and velocity.

[@factorywatch]

Does it actually increase the damage?

[@irreverentium]

I was hoping to find one of those velocity hitscan charts very appreciated

[@TheV8Pumpkin]

My bro (30 yr old) started playing cod for the first time in his life this year 😅 he’s super addicted and plays any chance he gets and I even hooked him to this channel lol So cool to see that first cod “magic” happen to someone in person

[@letsrock12345]

I appreciate this video and the dissection of the mechanics involved!

[@Schlachter748]

Thank you! I watch every gun guide video! You are a big help

[@pukkiepo3494]

Thanks again for you effort . It's really beneficial to watch these kind of video's and understanding the game better

[@alanschroeder4286]

i made an all accuracy kastov 762 and used high velocity rounds not knowing exactly what they did just knowing it improved my accuracy and it is a monster this really helps me understand it better

[@tirvallo]

Been using armor piercing on all of my assault rifles and marksman rifles with good effect. High velocity has been really nice on my ground war sniping loadout; barely any drop or having to lead with the MCPR using high velocity ammo and 22" barrel.
