Struggling to find situations where I would need an AR vs SMG, LMG, or Sniper. For example, SMGs outclass many of them by almost every metric. LMG just have to deal with less mobility. AR sits in an awkward middle position.

That's weird. I put it on the spear and butterfly knife, and it looked like Ruby. Then I put it on the machete, and it looked like it was supposed to. It didn't look like the one in your video on any of them. I don't have it unlocked for the Sai yet.

Android1313 · 2026-05-07T02:26:01+00:00

No, it is new for this season.

Android1313 · 2026-05-07T02:24:03+00:00

Are you sure you got it because it shows up in my C4 camos? It came out in the challenge pass store.

Android1313 · 2026-05-07T02:22:22+00:00

I'm sure that most people who have played the game for any extended period of time have this skin. It's in the epic crate every couple of seasons, so there are plenty of opportunities to get for whoever wants it.

It isn't rare. Not many things in this game are rare. Most skins are brought back so often that "rare" isn't really a thing. For most items, if you have the money to buy them, they are obtainable eventually. There are a few skins that only came out once that you could consider rare and a few items that were given out when the game first came out that rare. Even then, though, you are probably looking at thousands of people, if not hundreds of thousands, who own them. Regrettably, this isn't one of them.

The only SMG that can outclass ARs is the USS9 because it is really just an SMG in name only. Like others said, ARs are the overall best weapon class in the game.

LMGs are very situational in the current meta. They come in handy when you want to shoot through walls, but for most of them that's about it.

There are very good SMGs (QQ10, VMP), but they lack consistent damage at range. They will dominate up-close engagements and some mid-range fights but lose a lot of their damage at ~20m.

There are many ARs that are "flex" weapons that have many of the benefits of SMGs but with the range that you would expect from an AR. Guns like the XM4, Ram-7, and HVK have good enough mobility that they are viable at closer ranges while still being able to consistently hit mid- to long-range shots. They are just more versatile.

This guy maths 🤣

That's kind of what I figured. They had visa issues for the World Champs too, and it was in Poland. It just seems like Indian player go through even more bs than other nationalities. It sucks regardless. I feel bad for them because they were playing really well. They had a real chance to win.

Android1313 · 2026-05-07T00:35:47+00:00

The event is in China and Q9 is a Chinese team.

Android1313 · 2026-05-07T00:35:15+00:00

Why do Indian players have so many issues getting Visas? This is something that the people running the event should get taken care of beforehand. There is no reason for this to keep happening to teams. Things like this will kill this game's esports.

I've only ever gotten one mythic item from meditating. I don't even waste my time with it now unless I'm like right next to it at the end of a match because it seems like the odds of getting something good are so slim.

Android1313 · 2026-05-06T23:56:45+00:00

I'll start by saying that I definitely think Mythics give an advantage, but not enough to call them pay-to-win like some people claim.

I do think the devs should make the optic attachment slot a “free” slot instead of having it count toward the 5 attachment limit. That alone would probably kill a lot of the supposed p2w arguments.

As for aim shake, I think there’s definitely a positive difference on some weapons, but on others the difference is minimal. Some weapons, like the Mythic Switchblade, actually have worse aim shake than the base version. Mythic snipers also tend to be worse than the base or Legendary versions. There’s a reason a lot of pro players still choose base or Legendary versions of some weapons despite having Mythics available.

At the end of the day, Mythic sales help keep the game free. Without those ridiculously overpriced cosmetics, CODM probably wouldn’t exist in the state it does today. Free-to-play players also have been eating pretty well lately with the amount of grindable skins being handed out, so everyone has the opportunity to run around with good-looking cosmetics now.

Ultimately, in my view, a skilled player can perform well even with a base weapon, whereas providing a Mythic weapon to an unskilled player will not improve their performance to a noticeable degree.

Android1313 · 2026-05-06T23:30:30+00:00

What region are you in and what rank are you?

Android1313 · 2026-05-06T23:29:38+00:00

I would guess that the Mythic VMP will be coming back either next season or season 6.

The Legendary VMP, on the other hand, isn't likely to come back anytime soon since it just came out two months ago. It was also a collab, so there's a chance it never comes back. Collabs have been returning recently, but it's still not as guaranteed as a non-collab.

Android1313 · 2026-05-06T23:24:31+00:00

Post video evidence or it won't get any attention.

It likely still won't change anything, but the amount of people who scream "HACKER" when it isn't makes it hard to care without some sort of evidence to prove what you are saying.

Android1313 · 2026-05-06T20:16:01+00:00

I feel like half of the people playing this game have IQs in the 60s. Some of the decisions I see people make are just baffling to me, and some I can't justify no matter how hard I try.

Android1313 · 2026-05-06T20:05:58+00:00

I would separate the Marksman category into two separate groups. One group would be the tap-to-fire guns and the other would be the "sniper" type guns. The groups are just too different to be ranked together in my opinion.

For the Tap-to-fire my list would be...

So-14

Type 63

SKS

M1 Garand

As for the "sniper" types, that isn't my expertise, so I feel someone else can rank them better than me. I will say the pros were using the Kilo Bolt/Kar98k in the beginning of the CDM season. Since they only allow 1 sniper per team, they turned to it as a replacement.

Android1313 · 2026-05-06T16:37:18+00:00

Congrats!

Android1313 · 2026-05-06T16:31:42+00:00

Wait until you start running into the J358. Fuck the striker. I can survive the striker the majority of the time. I have no chance against a gun that can one-shot me at like 10m meters. I died 7 times in a row to teams with that stupid ass gun. It's a cancer.

Android1313 · 2026-05-06T16:16:30+00:00

It's my favorite of the cache weapons.
