You can actually detonate claymores without the clacker out. Just switch to your primary while you have the clacker out, shoot some Charlies, and then when you're ready to detonate, press G.

Eh... black being sneakier is kind of a myth, I find them to be less hard to spot when I play NV than you may think, black isn't a natural colour in nature, that's why armies stopped using black tones in camos

[@wsjosephxd]

black people arenta ctually black my guy... theyre brown

[@XSpamDragonX]

I absolutely disagree, the Stakeout with the No.4 Buckshot creates an unstoppable wall of pellets and is much more likely to kill someone before they can react in emergencies.

[@zachyoung6807]

VeryUnfriendlySpoon all about preference. Personally i cant use the shotgun for shit, i just cant hit someone unless im shoving the barrel down their throat, so i have to go with the greasegun (which happens to be my favorite weapon in the game luckily).

[@honkiekowboy4941]

It's also SUPER useful for moving targets. Especially if you're an imbicle that can't aim

Shotguna can kill at range too, you can get kills at 100m fairly easily with one shot.

@@TheKingOfJordan1 I love all of the shotguns on there. The nice thing is that all the ammo for them is useful and does something different. Slugs, 00buck, the other buckshot no.4 I think. They're all man slayers.

[@AtrociousAK47]

ive heard the shotguns, particularly the double barrel, described as sniper rifles, and well they are by the standards of most games where everything is hitscan and thus suffers from decreased damage over range with shotgun pellets magically vanishing after a certain distance. typical effective range for a videogame shotgun is like 5-10 feet aka point blank, mostly because otherwise people cry it's OP, especially when shotguns are usually known for being found in the hands of campers that do nothing but watch one particular doorway or corner the entire game and not much else.

This must have been fun back in the day but I feel that pointman has been nerfed a lot since this video. Claymores seem weaker and it takes several seconds to disarm traps not instant disarms like in this video.

[@VimyGlide]

claymores were p much only ever for humiliating the enemy

[@FSCB2013]

Yes the game has been updated and changed many times actually. Definitely more interesting gameplay now that defuses take a few seconds.

It's the BOMB! I cant thank the General enough, his blood's worth bottlin' mate, fair dinkum he's a bonza bloke or I'll vote for the Liberal party if one word is not sworn gospel truth, bloody oath mate.

Having a skin tone similar to the VC as a point man and picking up an AK, you can cause mass confusion

Now that pointman has carbine I started to love that role.

[@bobbycutts2111]

You had me at "Pillage and loot" my man.

[@Misterunnamed]

Worst part is getting picked off out of nowhere from a guy that's 100m away, you can't see where the fuck they are but apparently they see you clear as day, even when you're in heavy brush. It's infuriating.

[@trainknut]

And then they added the XM177 and M14 to the Pointman role - there's literally no reason not to pick this role over a rifleman anymore.

[@Smoof5]

Alright I like this guide. I'll see you on the battlefield.

[@MyViolador]

oh pointman could deactivate traps instantly before

[@TheNikipa]

My dad trained to become a pointman before going to Vietnam. He had a lot of funny stories and a lot of scary ones too! First funny story is he was at the base doing a training exercise as the pointman and as he was walking along the path and he passed some *"ordinary bushes"* and a few seconds later the sound of an engine starting up came out of no where and then a super perishing came out of the bushes and was just rolling down the path just behind my dad and the commander opened the hatch and was just laughing his ass off and my dad was laughing but a scared kind of laugh!!! The saddest story he has told me was one of his childhood friends was killed in Vietnam and he watched him die!:'( another somewhat sad story was he turned 21 while on base and he couldn't have any alcohol to celebrate his 21st birthday!! instead he was up at 4 am doing more drills! And my grandfather was a medic and was a part of the big red one and took part and successfully completed 5 campaigns in ww2 from Italy, north Africa(Tunisia ), Germany, France including d-day , Europe, but unfortunately before crossing the bridge over the river Rhine a German mortar shell fell on his location and he was vanishing up another soldier when it fell and it killed him while my grandfather only sustained shrapnel injuries to his left wrist and a price of shrapnel about a quarter of an inch away from his heart. He never got the piece out away from his heart for fear of more injury and even death.

[@YarnuDog]

wow, thats an amazing set of stories. Thanks for sharing.

[@TheNikipa]

@@YarnuDog thank you! My great great great grandfather was a crew member on the SMY Hohenzollern ll. I'm not sure if you have heard of that but. My family is rich with stories as with a lot of other families. But I'm very glad to be a part of this family. I'm adopted from Russia when i was 3 months old and I'm 20 now and this year!! This July I'm going back to Russia to meet my birth mom and my 3 brothers and my sister for the first time!! I'm a little anxious and nervous but I'm overall very happy!! And I couldn't have asked for anything else!! I just live life to the fullest and don't take things for granted!! Going back to my grandfather his wife was a nurse in ww2( also that's where they met) and funny story even before the war he was a in home doctor and even after the war my grandfather was a a in home doctor and there was one story where he went over to someone's house to do some surgery but get this since the injury to his wrist it also had severed some tendons and some muscles and nerves were affected so he couldn't use 2 of his fingers and the the rest were very twitchy so if you can picture a 58 year old at that time opening you up with trembling hands with a scalpel in his hand and sticking his trembling hand holding the scalpel in you're body or wherever!! That might be a little scary!!

[@TheNikipa]

Ahh another story was my dad as a kid and his brother they were watching tv and my dad asked for the remote not like there was any good channels cause they're were only 12 channels but my dad asked and his brother said no so my dad started kicking him and saying he wanted the remote and his brother said you kick ne again ima stab you!! And my dad kicked him again and his brother accidentally had the knife out and it cut my dad on his shin about the length of a 30-06 shell casing and my dad ran into his dads study and said dad we got an issue as he glared at his brother and his dad yelled and said come here and my grandfather stitched my dads shin up right there in his study!! Lol.

[@TPinso]

I love this video, and also believe the M3 is a great gun, but sometimes shotguns such as the Duckbill can kill multiple enemies at one time

[@F_Bardamu]

Experience taught me that the grease gun is actually very effective even at long range. If your target isn't moving fast, it's damn accurate whatever the distance. The trikiest part with this gun is to learn how to accurately shoot by the hip at close range. Once you get this, you are a deadly threat. Makes you want to never get back to the M16. Smoke is extremely useful to push through enemy lines especially when you're a squad leader. One thing that still bugs me though is that you can't use the grease gun in tunnels. Such a nonsense to me.

[@m4d_al3x]

i always play the riot shotgun and im really good with it. the biggest pro for me is that hitting a target is easier.

[@ComfortsSpecter]

I wish that there was a revolver with a thick suppresser on it for the point man

[@BananenBrot484]

[@sowgingchen2139]

Thanks for the info! I've learnt a lot

[@Turtletanks]

One of the things I've been able to do with a shotgun is get multikills with one shot, especially with the duckbill attachment

[@ratman573]

If you're having issues with the shotgun, try using slugs. Turns it into a rifle or sorts, and can kill things past 10m if you hit.

[@ratman573]

My mistake. US gets 2 choices of buckshot.

[@kierenverma7494]

Indeed, on the Hunting Shotgun for Vietnam they get slugs. Still buckshot is the best overall IMO. Can still snipe haha.

[@EvelynH-tj1qt]

I place traps in the strangest places that nearly nobody goes, I barely ever have them disarmed and about 50% of the time I will get a kill when I usually wouldn't.

[@ch33zpuff]

[@whitebalooninthesky]

[@alecazadi-hocking8381]

If I’m Pointman for the US Army then Grease Gun 100% but if I’m playing as the Marine Corps Pointman I always find myself picking up the Thompson

[@Waldemarvonanhalt]

IMO they really should add a tripwire for the Claymore. It has that feature IRL, so why not?

[@OliverCovfefe]

I personally like to roll pointman with a Thompson set to 150 meters (for clearer sight picture) and just tap with 3-4 rounds max. Flank hard and push to get 3-4 kills before dying. It works well to chip away at stuck positions and sometimes you can get even longer killstreaks, but it all depends. The game’s been whack lately with the influx of epic games store players. Already they’re getting better yet sometimes I run out of ammo first before we finish capping due to sheer quantity of FNGs. Lmao.

Not only is picking up other rifles good for range and having pretty much endless ammo, upon firing, enemy vc may not be as quick to react to shots fired because they hear one of their owns rifle being fired instead of the enemys.

I wasn't interested graphically, but my God does this game not have some of the most interesting mechanics.

[@Raptorsified]

*talks about using barrel to aim being good *Proceeds to say shotgun is unreliable Tbh I didn't know your aim could be too bad for the shotgun. You can regularly get 100m+ kills with it. But most importantly collateral with one shell is always satisfying. For anyone else that comes across this video. You can in fact hold a weapon and detonate using "g". Be careful if you have picked up grenades though as I think it will prioritize throwing them before detonating. This can also be done with c4.
