XPR-50 - Black Ops 2 Weapon Guide

[@KRcanondaisa]

The XPR could also be a future variant of the AS50, because the game files refer it to that name.

[@massineben7198]

KronkyDonk .......

[@kylescheffler8483]

It can also be considered a future variant of the Barratt M82, or Barratt .50 Cal, seen in all of the Modern Warfare titles

[@LincolnAintLinkin]

@@kylescheffler8483 that's what it has always looked like to me.

[@LincolnAintLinkin]

@@kylescheffler8483 off topic but I was disappointed when MW 2019 didn't release with a Barrett 50 cal because it's a very iconic sniper to the series.

[@jaderabbit898]

@@LincolnAintLinkin It did now. Well, kinda but close enough.

[@lKiIledKenny]

I don't even play any call of duties, but I still love this channel as much as when I did Also really wish scope sway wasn't a thing in these games, increase recoil, lower fire rate, anything just let the player have full control over their aim

[@aursi63]

You have Counter Strike if you don't want idle sway, it's more realistic this way

[@daddynolegs]

+Alin Alyn546 counter strike is the farthest thing from realism :P

[@marklee1194]

I personally find the XPR-50 difficult to use with the ACOG Scope; I think the default scope is better. The XPR-50 is great for a support role in a squad from a good position.

I just can't believe next week we'll have the last episode, it's been a lovely year whatsoever, thank you, Stu!

[@JahovasFitness]

Um, have we always been to able to steady the acog snipers with the left stick? 4:25 to 4:30

[@GKID7891]

BO2 only.

[@3pic105]

It isn't a good choice for a sniper rifle unless you prefer a close-range sniper.

[@raidengamingxbl]

I was in the same boat as you when I discovered that too on the snipers with the ACOG attachment. Caught me off guard at first, but found it useful sometimes. Same applies with the Iron Sight attachment for the Ballista.

[@waluigi5138]

[@SuspiciousPegasus]

I laughed at that cuz it was indeed funny.

[@justinrnayy]

[@Francisco922]

Was wondering when the legend Ahoy would come into my reccomended again, nostalgia time! One of the best snipers, personal semi auto favorite (DSR in the bolt gang), plopping a Ballistic CPU, Laser and Extended mags always provided a great close range spam potential and stability over long range but suffers a little in mobility. Good times with it in Hijacked with friends.

[@SonuChaturvedi5]

Hijacked what an map it was, hope he returns for mw2.

[@Rossriders]

It's been said to death but it'll be said again. This is why I like Xbox ahoy, because even with his own personal tastes for weapons, he will STILL work out to make any weapon 'work' to some degree no matter how 'useless' others may view it. Not just for Black ops but any game.

[@motormouth2472]

I feel like this is an underrated Sniper. Yeah, the Ballista, DSR-50, and maybe even the SVU-AS may be better, but I still think the XPR-50 is a great sniper too. It's just different

[@survivorofthecurse717]

8 rounds, OHK for upper torso and higher, and semi automatic all in one. If it weren't for how popular bolt action rifles were in the game, it would see a lot more use. Still, balancing felt overall better compared to BO3. Snipers were same risk, much higher reward

[@TheGoldViper12]

Next year,Stu,is it possible to go back to older days of showcasing every attachment?Considering this practice worked better in the IW games in my opinion.Regardless, you still put an insane amount of effort in these vids. Keep up the good work.

[@thesharpshooter157]

I love how he gives back round on all guns even if the gun is fictional i.e pdw love the build btw. :)

[@Elder_Shay]

I love that the Codm version of this weapon can finally live up to it's original counterpart with it's most recent update for S9 2022.

[@itsarin2166]

This gun is nerfed hard in COD Mobile and its pretty stupid, it used to be 1 shot gun in BO2 and then became a 2-3 shot hitmarker machine in CODM

[@SmurfinSupport]

[@edma22]

Sounds like he's been watching Revenge: "A thorn in your enemy's initiative".

His builds are meant to be adaptable to whatever playstyle. He hopes that you will add your own touch to each class he outputs, so try it your self and see if it's any good.

[@DPMAN206]

Now that you've used all the weapons in full, what are your favorite weapons in each slot? (Favorite SMG, AR, Sniper, ect.)

[@MrIlikemusicalot]

Almost the end of another era. Another great series for sure. Looking forward to some other creative work of you, and ofcourse Ghosts weapon series in November/December

[@inJuStice808]

Primary: XPR-50 w/ Variable Zoom Secondary: Any Pistol Perks: Ghost, Blind Eye (Wildcard Used), Cold-Blooded, Awareness Equipment: Bouncing Betty or Claymore (Lethal), Shock Charge (Tactical) Personal sniper class to hold an area for a short while...

[@flemonssideire7164]

I like that Cove caters to the middle-long range more, but that's pretty much it. And even that map has too damn much close range.

[@Mrrandomgamer32]

5:25 "Hey son catch!" lol

[@fastwolf98]

yeah i agree. Like in halo there is a very small hip fire box for snipers and that works perfectly. Noscoping is then based on skill and not luck

[@Tmx115]

This video is basicly saying Over powered assult rifle accedentily put in the sniper catagory

[@noobtrollage2771]

It's both goddamnit I think...

[@zoltansaged]

you make this sniper look interesting the way your playing it, I have been enjoying the marksman style of the SMR, I think I will try the XPR with ACOG, as always great video.

[@maltemolin9787]

This gun kinda feels like a Barret 50 cal, but has lower damage and lower recoil

[@Sticker704]

Getting to the end now an awesome series Stu that you should be proud of. Well done :)

[@paulkdragon]

who needs to quickscope when i have this deadly beast!

[@justinbaxter7640]

Paul.K.Dragon it’s basically a bolt action minus the bolt

[@DrOktoberfest007]

I actually like the SVU, it makes people take the traditional sniping approach (unless you have ACOG) & for those that want to one-shots, it gets you to better aim for the head, helping to make better traditional snipers.

[@TWELVE-TAILS]

If only you could add quickdraw to a sniper

With the 8 hours of content on this channel, and the 7 hours on his other channel, I have spent more time watching Stuart play Black Ops 2 than I have spent playing it myself.

[@flynnprendergast7734]

Lets be honest. the crossbow is the best sniper in this game.

[@TheGunslinger44]

[@khembhandari1288]

The LSAT is obviously the best shotgun in this game.

[@lasse6430]

[@nikodemvankenobi]

Lasse Fedders Thomsen Dude... This is F*cking sniper rifle, not assault rifle.

[@CComrade]

Interesting class concept. I personally prefer the XPR in a more normal sniper role, but I do agree on the fact that up close, if pointed correctly, it can be a dangerous weapon. Once got a quad feed on headquarters when the entire enemy team spawned near my position at a choke point. All of them were my friends XD

[@shyrtexx4879]

Worst sniper in the game.. Ballista is 100% better

[@jh0347]

It is a ballista but its also semi automatic

[@shyrtexx4879]

and ugly

[@jh0347]

Tbh svu is better the kick of this gun higher than mt everest

[@shyrtexx4879]

Well, actually I changed my opinion. Just tested the XPR and I realized that it wasn't so bad. SVU is a noob gun...

[@abdullahmusallam3983]

+Jontskuuuu True

[@mahilo3550]

Ha! I see what you did there with this week's pun. XP, lol. Can't believe only the AN-94 is left. Not only will it be the classic final unlock like the AK-47 in MW2, but it's also an exciting weapon to end this series with it's unusual rate of fire. I'm sure you're aware of the AN-94's 2-round burst firing at 1800rpm in reality, AND if it were anything higher than the in-game 900rpm would no doubt be OP. Anyways, thank you for another undoubtedly kick-ass CoD multiplayer weapon guide series.

[@narutowhy1]

To be fair, I think quick-scoping started in CoD4. because the M40A3 with an ACOG scope had 75 damage as opposed to the normal 70(in relation to the 100 health players spawn with). This means that if you were to use Stopping Power as well, you could one-shot anyone to any part of the body unless they were using Juggernaut.

[@TheLiamWolf]

I hope the next game has the pick 10 system, tho I hope they do something about the same thing over and over. if you want a aggressive build use these or a defensive build use these. I thought it would make it really customizable but there just not enough options (good options anyway) to make a truly unique class

[@samcalderon9496]

It's a semi-auto sniper rifle, so you are more likely to shoot more than once because of a bad hit or a miss and that will make your recoil more heavy

[@DakrahWizard]

Haven't played Black Ops 2 in months, even unsubscribed to TmarT and Woody, but I still watch your videos Stu! You're awesome.

[@thezombiefan777]

Man this video reminds me of when I was a late teen looking up gun guides while playing Transit in the background

[@LordUndeadTofu]

Stu, you should do a Select Fire class for your upcoming AN-94 Weapon Guide video. I found that it works quite well, and it would be an interesting loadout to do!

[@Girbeagly]

Stu is a beast with this weapon! Nice video, Stu!

[@keynanmartinez]

May not be that powerful but to me is a favorite of mine being a balance of capacity and penetration even thought its less accurate that other snipers.

[@VioletGiraffe]

I see QBB every now and then (not to mention it's my favourite LMG and I use it a lot), and I see SVU every so often, too. The only weapon I've never seen is, probably, XPR.

[@haze_productions9715]

I use this gun, with an ACOG scope, on hardcore playlists quite often.

[@waxydusk8676]

Huh. Still watch ur videos, but quitting cod 3 months ago has made me a happier person.

[@TRY-ip8hn]

1:12 poor guy died by car explosion.

[@leenbeef101]

For anybody puzzled about the intro, he said "39th and penultimate episode..." penultimate means 'last but one'. This means that next weeks episode, An-94, is the final episode of the series

[@Nate_the_Nobody]

I always like watching your videos, have ever since you started on the MW2 weapon guides. You always make it seem like call of doot doot needs thought and planing, but then I go back into it and it's just people running around with their heads cut off with no skill or thought put into it what so ever.

[@NickBurnham1]

He said "second chance" and I got chills

[@russiangingersnp4181]

Thank you Stu, thanks for listening to what I had in mind for Black Ops 2.

[@gcnelite5983]

Tbh I used to run this gun with ACOG and Fast Mags and it was godly

[@digistruct0r]

Yeah, that was the guy with M82A1, if I recall correctly. But what was the biggest line of sight you can find in BOII? I think 200-220m (correct me if I'm wrong). .50 BMG has about 3x speed of sound - it can cover this distance in about 100-200 ms: no difference if the target stays still, but slight aim adjustment is required to hit a ruuning guy.

[@MikeHendryDev]

I think in Hardcore mode the weapons are all the same, it's your health that is different. You have 30% health instead of 100%.

[@markshade2611]

love how he killed a guy with the Betty in a weapon video

[@narutowhy1]

Well, like Stu said before, it's hard to actually nerf quick-scoping without nerfing sniper rifles as a whole. In MW2 and MW3, I didn't quick-scope but if I didn't have Sleight of Hand Pro or Quickdraw, I felt sluggish as a sniper. Then Black Ops takes that out and sniping is generally more difficult, as it's harder to scope in and kill someone before they get to cover. Treyarch learned from their mistakes and Black Ops II has better sniping, in my opinion.

[@GtaSanAndreas320]

OMG I'm so happy after I heard pen-ultimate!

[@dcoidua]

I do agree that the maps aren't well suited for sniping, but I'd rather only have to hit someone once rather than twice to kill them. Sometimes you don't have enough time to hit them twice, so you need a one hit kill weapon instead of a more spammy one, I do get what you're saying though, and the SVU-AS is usually more suited for the size of the maps that BO2 has.

[@ethanhlew]

Basically the Barrett .50 cal, the living legend.

[@treuzevlogs]

Stu you should make a small montage of your favorite clips you got this year with various weapons and all, that would be amusing to watch!

[@nikolaspcc]

Hutch is the best as well when he uploads cod gameplay anyway

[@rossderham9182]

[@Madraeus]

Nice shooting there tex! I liked those double kills there near the end.

[@Th3Gumbo]

hurray! last video next week. i cant wait to watch them all.

[@kruleb]

Gun is ridiculously OP. High fire rate, large mag, low recoil, same damage as the Ballista.

[@MegaHOBO45]

This weapon reminds me a lot of the Russian SV-98 sniper rifle, just in semi automatic form, plus, The XPR doe's take a higher caliber, but still. They look similar in some features.

[@Virgil1014]

You won't see it on core but hardcore mode you will see it alot since its highly accurate and is a 1 hit kill

[@narutowhy1]

You'd have to see them coming. And even though a ghillie suit makes you look like a walking tree , snipers will, more often than not, get the drop on you. Quick-scopers also have the ability, like most players, to adjust their aim before firing. So if they miss, they usually missed on their own, in my experience. In real life, soldiers can hear the sniper shoot and if they immediately duck, their head won't explode if the sniper was far enough away. Not the same in CoD. Zero bullet travel time.

[@lewisrussen8282]

I bet you felt good when you said in the next episode we will be covering the an94

[@arodrodriguez6588]

dude these are amazing keep up the good work :D

[@Macsk8ing]

The thought of you thinking of him moaning just ruined my day.

[@seanrich7969]

Best sniper rifle by far. Like the 50 caliber rifles seen in MW2 and MW3, the XPR50 is forgiving and quick killing. Sure bolt action rifles are cool, but you can't deny that a high damage, semi auto rifle can kill more enemies faster. In the right hands this is the greatest sniper rifle.

[@curtcolt]

Yes you can. Its new to black ops 2 and helps greatly when using it.

[@joerodriguez5079]

It's almost over? Say it ain't so Stu, where else we going to get QUALITY KZbin content?!

[@ocinnico2608]

I like how you die instantly being shot by a 50 BMG to the arms but not to the lower torso

[@JNUKESTER]

[@SuperSurajM]

Hey Mr. Ahoy. You can hold your breath with the ACOG Scope in this game!

[@SigmaZeroxed]

At 5:26, stu throws betty and kills a dude with a direct impact. Stu jus stands there in amazement for 3 seconds then hes like "awww yeah!"

[@MaximumStryke]

so happy because this was uploaded on my b-day :D

[@MrCervantesent]

Was never a big fan of Tactical Mask, but then gave it a try, and FAWK it's a life-saver against shock charge spammers. :D

[@DangerCloseTactician]

Large one-hit kill area + semi-automatic = (in my opinion) most useful and forgiving sniper for someone as inaccurate as me

[@tomatoface12]

That awkward moment when a shot to the hand is OHK but a shot to the gut is just a hitmarker.

[@JesterZamba]

I'm excited because we get to see what Stu does next :)

[@edbroom2424]

U deserve way more subs cuz ur a god

[@ifm2181]

Lots of great double-kills in this.

[@dmetzger24]

I like the double kill at the end there

[@WahooPancakes]

Well seeing as Stu was pretty consistent with his 1-shots, that doesn't seem to be an issue

[@tsubasa198]

Stu, you say the Acog makes you lose some of the long range precision. Just curious, did you know that you can steady the acog sight like you can do with a normal scope? Giving you a moment of still sights to make those longer engagements possible and a bit more easier.

[@Heezee80]

[@Cruzzap123]

Finally the an-94 and thanks for these guide they are vary helpful

[@JustSeb825825_p4ssw0rd]
