Which grip did use use for the compare? Vert? Can you also try with angled?

[@Vichikuma]

I just got a ban without explanation or duration. I have no idea why. The only program I use when playing is SoundLock, that I learnt about in the official PUBG Latam discord server, thanks to a content creator video published in a only-creators channel of the server. Are SoundLock or programs that limit volume forbidden? I've seen various content creators using them 🙃

[@Vichikuma]

Guys, don't play and/or spend money on PUBG pc: at any moment they perma ban you randomly and w/o explanation. It was my case and I just played for fun with no hacks or anything of the like, I was just a normal, mediocre player, not talented, but that spend some considerable money on the game, that I now regret doing. Don't make the same mistake.

[@Flypcyde81]

They ruined the AUG. The m4 in my opinion is way better. its not even close

[@Sikdomeshot]

I prefer the M4 because the recoil feels more controllable and the gun feels better at range.

[@YecrozGaming]

thats weird , for me it complete opposite ( before patch)

[@gvrrison717]

SCAR is the 556 gun for range, IMO. My fav overall. Prefer Beryl or Ace over any 556 guns though

[@YecrozGaming]

agreed scar is amazing for range accurcy but before aug nerf for me atleast i could spray just as good with aug , right now my go 2 are scar - m4 and then aug@@gvrrison717

[@karlkarlsson9126]

M4 has the stock, which gives additional, so it's more friendly.

[@pelleschwartz6475]

I watch these videos even though i dont play the game anymore. Thanks for a thorough comparison.

[@javianbrown8627]

I do the same. His videos are just so good

[@alun1038]

This just makes the Beryl more favourable, AUG was supposed to be more controllable with higher fire rate but packing less damage. Now it has almost nothing on Beryl

[@mariodukay2069]

I appreciate you so much that you take your time and make videos like this!

[@JoshMarohl]

I've been using the AUG as my primary spray gun since it started being a world spawn, but after today's update I really felt a significant difference in how it handles. The vertical and even horizontal recoil were noticeably different than before, and I was suddenly missing a lot more sprays that I normally hit. The Beryl even feels easier to handle for me now, and I don't usually run 7.62 guns. I saw someone mention something about screen shake, and while I haven't scientifically tested it or anything, that might have something to do with it, too. Either way, I'll likely be going back to the M416 as my primary spray. As Wacky mentioned, the AUG still has a technically lower TTK, but that doesn't really matter as much as controllability in a real fight where targets are moving around, taking cover, etc. For me, the ability to track and keep my sights on target is much more important than a negligible decrease in TTK time. Thanks again for doing the Lord's work, Wacky, lol.

[@veilmontTV]

It's really not much of a nerf. Bullet damage velocity and fire rate are the same

[@martinkrajscak4381]

There is also one more factor - wacky used tactical stock which only reduces weapon sway and increases ADS speed, but has no effect on recoil, whereas heavy stock slightly reduces ADS speed but gives you even more recoil control. Also if you notice how M4 has very comfy recoil you can equip it with half grip or angled grip and the horizontal recoil will be much better, making it very comparable to AUG. Safe to say this nerf isnt enough to bring down the king, but at least the guns should be balanced now. I would also love to see some recoil + time to kill comparisons of SCAR-L as it used to be beginner friendly gun with slightly lower DPS than M4 in the past. Now it lives in the AUGs shadow and I would really love to see if its comparable.

[@Wolverine6877]

The AUG/ STEYR is my go-to on PUBG. When I served in the NZ Army it was our personal assault weapon. Will have to check out the recoil next time I load up my Xbox. Great Video as always WJ 😊

[@lucifermorningstar1636]

This AUG nerf was really unnecessary. PUBG being try-hards and trying to shove the Beryl/Dragunov as the new meta, breaking the AUG/MK12. I'm moving to the 2 underrated guns, ACE and SCAR.

[@panda51829able]

Agreed. It was nice to see the aug gain popularity against the beryl, which also gave diversity in weapons compared to the beryl. Gg’s

[@liberty_t4boo]

ACE is the best assault rifle in this game, imho

[@TolisWorld]

What do you like about the scar? I've literally never used it in a game. Why should I pick it over the others?

[@lemmitsen]

​@@TolisWorldIf you're not that good at controlling recoil, the scar is nice because the recoil isn't that high

[@therealronswanson]

im also all for the ACE, not because i have a preference for one or the other but simply because my stats tells me that i have better hit % with the ACE. so in my hands that is the best weapon. plus it pairs nicely with the bolt action rifles i enjoy using over DMR's@@liberty_t4boo

[@Legoflust]

Probably stick with the M416 but that has nothing to do with the quality of skins I have between the two choices 😂

[@nunni7825]

Im a big fan of the current AUG (before the update), and without having tried it after the nerf, i think i would still prefer the AUG. Because in my opinion vertical recoil is easier to learn your brain, versus the horizontal which in pubg is random. But exited to try it out in battle, maybe im gonna be wrong here

[@Mirco_01]

I usually play 7.62 ARs but i prefer the AUG for 5.56. The reason is that my feeling of firerate and recoil feels a bit better on the AUG. Additional to that i have no problem with the vertical recoil or kick bec I play the AKM as main AR

[@Mirco_01]

I even prefer the Scar over a M416. Sounds insane i know^^

[@n1tn4t]

Taking the M4 after the update will be an absolute nobrainer for me, considering that both weapons need the same amount of shots to kill a player in every scenario, while the recoil of the AUG is now significantly higher. The difference in time to kill is only due to the slightly lower time between shots for the AUG. Correct me if I'm wrong.

[@Graeme_Gtrain]

Good work as always Wackey. I play with the AUG as preference, but will take an M416. Can you do another video of this nature comparing the M416 directly to the ACE?

[@pinkdink1210]

I'm not sure how old the video is but he does have one involving the M4 vs Ace vs Beryl 👍

[@devilsadvocate2643]

nice video ! It basically boils down to: with M4 you hit more shots, with AUG you hit slightly harder. I'd rather take the M4, as missing one bullet due to the higher recoil of the AUG is much more detrimental IMO.

[@dallanc5199]

My metric is I win more with the M4 than the Aug.

Thx for summarizing

[@vulpineking215]

m416 with red dot and a mini14 with a 6 scope (sometimes) single amo gives me more room for throwables. but I lean more toward an m24 ace combo. But sometimes I just run with whatever I find first as a personal challenge. This game is more fun when you create a game within the game. start naked, only wear items from victims must change to their weapons, etc. Love WJ for all his antics and perspectives.

[@kylegordy113]

Try m16 instead of mini. U might just love it. Or ace /mutant. I keep them both single fire only. Unless pushed close up ofc

[@eduardsbremers1831]

My weapon of choice combo for years!

[@kylegrace9128]

I choose m416 because I used the gun a lot and it is more comfortable to handle wacky and thank you for your amazing videos very appreciated ❤

[@BlueKookie888]

I feel the AUG has a really big screen shake, even in comparison with the 7.62 ACE, this is quite disoriented to spray. I usually found myself using more ACE than AUG nowadays.

Definitely. That looks like pubg mobile (m4 mobile)

[@irvindalacourt7178]

thank you for the great content. I like better the Aug but the M4 is a nice weapon too for learners like me. It feels more consistent when aiming

[@henrique.h.2990]

I use the Ace/SLR most of the time. However, I also like to play with the AUG/M4 + Mini. I avoid snipers because I'm suck with them, haha.

[@svarte-petter8527]

would be nice to see AUG vs Beryl since the AUG nerf is an indirect buff to the Beryl

[@jkwanskies]

For me ACE32/M24 or any bolt action, that is my go to loadout

[@seand3847]

I just noticed I was missing more shots with the Aug recently, so i have been dropping it in favor to the Vector. I thought it was because of my new controller. lol

Always been an AK guy. But out of the two I’d rather go with the M4, the tactical stock has always felt like a sneaky upgrade, that’s why I love the vector so much

[@Lifeisawheelie]

Heavy stock is now the spray attachment, and tactical stock is for singlefire. Look at their stats, they changed them. Flipped it

really?so what grip would be best for the heavy stock then

[@dmbb123]

​@@mickomag2768the faster one, thumb grip to compensate ads, I personally use vertical grip

[@walterwhite415]

I mostly take the first one I find of the two and keep it. So far I have not decided wich one I prefer, but I slightly like the M4 better.

[@-TruthHurts]

i really got used to the Ace/SLR combo over time.... but if i find and AUG and MK12 it will be my loadout for the game regardless.

[@ExTerminatorOP]

Efforts !! Valuable knowledge...Thanks Wacky

[@krazyhorse9596]

I dont really use the AUG. ACE or Beryl are my go to ARs. I just hope PUBG dont nerf the ACE. I hate nerfs. Buff the Scar, that AR gets no damn love at all.

[@Danthompsen]

Oh man I hope this is one of those videos where Wacky shoots at a wall and plots the recoil

[@moogleslam]

Being terrible at managing recoil, this is why I still use the SCAR-L for a 5.56mm weapon :)

[@iitsMikeB]

Fun fact. I was playing a couple of days ago with my friend, and we were under the impression that the patch was already live, so we were scolding the Aug for having high recoil (It also felt that way). Then I got an insane game, where I was hitting the nastiest sprays across the map with Thumbgrip aug, and I commented that: "The aug is still insane". Then I found out later that the patch wasn't out yet. So if anyone wonders... Yes, placebo is real.

[@oemchen77]

😂

[@yessuz]

I would like to see the aug vs m416 vs Scarl comparison

[@DylRicho]

I always choose the M4 anyway simply because the AUG recoil is comical. Now it's even worse? Jesus.

[@zvecarka]

Yep AUG is harder to control cause of recoil but its definitely worth it of mastering that weapon cause of high DPS, if ure too close to the enemy u dont even need to aim, just shoot, and its definitely good vs campers, i obliterated one camper without aiming and he had AKM

[@godfatherrobertrapsection]

Between M4 and AUG I'm going to most likely run both at once honestly I love the AKM for my cqc the Aug is not a bad choice for cqc with the red dot I usually find myself sporting an m4 with a 4x and tac stock along with the thumb grip akm with comp and red dot My alternative loadout would be the MK12 8x lightweight grip and any barrel attachment would be fine then a Scar with a 2x and I like to carry a laser sight in my UAZ trunk for those drive by situations and run an angle foregrip or a thumb grip if angled is not available. People really underestimate the Scar with that 2x it is by far my favorite weapon with a 2x on it.

[@LegendaryNuggets]

What's the point in nerfing the AUG? It's a crate weapon. That's the whole point of the crate - to give players better gear for a higher risk of going for it.

[@toddthegod3221]

I love them both but the aug definitely is king. Once you use both for a period of time and get used to each guns recoil, having something that kills quicker is quite nice. The m4 just feels right and is hard to pass up though

[@codymason1053]

M416 has always been my workhorse if i need it b4 i swap to m249

Very good video as always Wacky

[@JDMatthias]

I avoid the M4 and all 5.56 weapons unless in a pinch, I'll use the AUG. NOW maybe it's an illusion idk, but I've done better trying to land fewer rounds on my opponents with the 7.62 weaponry than spray-praying with 5.56

We need tier list for ar and dmr. Sniper rifles are pretty much same

[@roger_clay0381]

M4. Without watching this vid, I already know the aug has dumb recoil now. I took a break from pubg for a few months, came back and got killed trying to fire that crazy gun

[@abgvedr]

Hey Wacky. What are your thoughts on m16a4 vs mini?

[@Harklein]

If you're just waiting for somebody to get in your sights while you crouch and wait in a corner while in ADS I think the Aug will win 80% of the time against the M416 BUT since that's not always the case I believe the M416 has the advantage overall since it has a buttstock that increases ADS speed and you can attach either a thumb grip to increase the ADS even faster or a half grip to have better stability while still having a faster ADS because of the buttstock. In a game where reaction time matters a lot I believe the M416 will win most of the time in a normal scenario.

[@poziwtf]

Hello dear @WackyJacky101 . do you have mk12 vs mini14 comparison video with bullet travel time and other stats?

[@siegfriedmordrake3229]

I'd still use the Aug just for the style points it gives

M4 is good if you're a newer player, all the attachments make it easy to control. AUG is better when you have more experience.

Hey Wacky I'm wondering why the conversation is about M4/Aug and Ace/Berryl why can't they buff the SCAR, AKM, and add more assault rifles ?

[@gustavodh]

I'll likely use the one I get the Chroma first

[@DRHODES1979]

I've always liked the M4 more just based just on the sound. I hate the high pitched sound of the AUG.

[@Agostinho86]

3x aug still feels better than 3x M4 or RD M4 for mid range spray. for short range aug is much more consistant

[@thenoldorprince]

Since I've chosen my fav AR - M416 wins. Even with AUG before nerf. Just I know how to control this gun and kill better with it.

[@jgvtc559]

Mp9 k98 or dragnuv is my go to

[@kavoo0]

So how does this compare to 7.62 ARs? Will people gravitate more towards 7.62 ARs or just switch to an M416? I keep hearing about a possibility of PUBG entering a 7.62 meta after this patch, but what exactly does this mean?

[@nicholasmattiello8959]

The aug is realistically better, the bullpup system adds a huge barrel length giving it better velocity and accuracy, the firing pin being in the rear would give it much better recoil control. Realistically the nerf should hit the reload speed on the aug

[@icemansb1]

I switch to ACE and is a big difference in damage area.

[@rising_fredo_pixel]

1:24 now imagine that you adds the heavy stock instead of tactical.

[@mohammedalkhayat7888]

I don't fuss I can use both so when I land which ever one I pick up first I keep but if I don't find a tack right away I and see an aug I switch I don't like looting to much

Does MK47 good when you mastered burst into auto ?

[@labanspoket]

Hmm AUG is nice, M416 is nice too but I do like SCAR-L alot :)

[@danielsoul3519]

Good video comparison, I personally prefer the M416 even before this patch so I will continue to use it. Also I think the current meta is leaning too much in favor of ARs over SMGs, which I found MUCH more reliable and they even kill faster in cqc due to body damage multipliers. Mp5k, Mp9 and Ump45 are lasers with virtually no recoil...

[@alan138]

I was about to write something similar, i would like to add something tho. After all, at least on a daily basis is better to have consistency than "rocking the most powerfull weapon". Some times i feel like doing beryl or the aug, but mostly i prefer the m4 or the ace wich i believe are more controlable with consistency for me. And since hitting the shots is more important than doing most damage overall, i prefer to leave the aug/beryl meta for those how play more and can manage consistency with them. This remainds me my love/hate relationship with shotguns, they can 1 shot lvl2 gear as far as i can tell, not sure about lvl3, but the thing is the same, you have to hit well otherwise you are probably dead. Lately im starting to go more for SMG, not feeling great on a mid distance battle with them, but in close quarters they delete squads, specially the vector and the ump on all maps and the mp9/mp5 in deston/vikendi. In the end what i do like about the balance of the weapons that is currently in place, is that there is no much reason to not go with the weapons you like of feel better. Each weapon has strengs and weaknesess. I feel like even if all could say that the pump or smg are unbalanced, i didnt see any squad going 4 memebers smg/shoty, maybe 1 or 2 go for it, but ARs are needed aswell, so. I think they finally are getting it right, except for the limb multiplier on smg hahahaha, that needs to go, you want full damage aim for head boy 😂, just saying. I hope not bothered you with all this mess of opinions. Have a great day.

[@danielsoul3519]

@@alan138 Thanks for the reply! I agree with most you said but also think the limb multiplier should stay, otherwise smgs will be too weak compared to ARs. Every time after I get killed because I missed my ar spray 90% of the time I find myself thinking that with an smg I would have won... The biggest problem I find today is that when I land and want to play smgs, I often can't because ARs are everywhere but instead smgs and their ammo is much more rare in comparison with 5.56/7.62...and considering that the game loading tip suggests that "smgs use pistol round so it's easy to stock up!" things are getting a little ridiculous.

[@alan138]

@@danielsoul3519 I completely agree about the smg/ammo rarity, what i encounter ridiculous is that some weapons no one use are all over the place like AKM and Mutants. After all this years the world spawn of items is still messed up. I remember a year ago, they said patch after patch that they fixed the vehicle spawn yet i found some POIs like prision in erangel and severny or primorsk, having no vehicles sometimes, becouse the only one was took early from a "coward" how run away when he's teammates where killed. As for the limb multiplier, as for what you said. I mean, if you miss 90% of the spray, you are dead. Saying that you would have won with smg, becouse of the limb multiplier is the same as saying that in that particular case you needed a laser to win. Anyway i cant talk much about that since i recently started testing SMG, usually i aim for head or torso since im already trained to do that. So not that i have tested long and consistently the limb multiplier thing. Is just that i heard of its existence and the concept itself seems like a cheat for smg on paper. No wonder why sometimes i get knoked down from a couple of shots that dindnt touch vest or helmet. And if the idea is that those bodyparts aren't protected, then all weapons should do more damage to those parts. And in the end no one will be aiming for torso anymore, all shots to legs ahaha. Anyway, not that im mad about the limb multiplier really, i dont care much, i keep playing and having fun. Its just that on paper the idea of it, seems to be kind of unfair in close quarters, to the point where if you are closer than 30 metter you have no chance againts them with an AR. Thats why it pisses a lot of ppl i think, end circles are always close quarter combat, so AR's are weak against umpers and smg in general.

[@danielsoul3519]

@@alan138 I think that limb multiplier for smg comes a bit from the concept that smg rounds do more damage to unarmored parts rather than ap rounds that usually use ARs. Also could s be for pure weapon balance purposes..and anyway you kill faster hitting the head or the body with smgs. Maybe only lvl3 is an exception..
