Q & A

What is the new meta in the Call of Duty mobile game?

The new meta in Call of Duty mobile involves a variety of weapon categories, including snipers, passive weapons, full auto weapons, and single firing weapons, each with their own strengths and weaknesses in different combat scenarios.

How does the Tundra sniper rifle perform in the new season after its ADS speed nerf?

Despite the ADS speed nerf from 480 to 500, the Tundra's performance only worsens by one frame, making it still the best option for sniping due to its superior ADS speed with attachments like Elastic Airborne Tape.

What are the advantages of using the PKM in long-range engagements?

The PKM excels in long-range engagements with a potential for 200 rounds per ammo belt and a 25M three-tap kill potential, making it a beast at suppressive fire and effective at locking down lanes against enemy pushes.

What are the mobility concerns with the PKM?

The PKM has poor handling and mobility compared to other weapons like the LMGP, making it vulnerable to flankers and being caught off guard when moving between camping points.

Why is the LK24 a good alternative to the PKM?

The LK24 is a good alternative due to its minimal flinch, good range profile, and better mobility than the PKM, although it still lacks in mobility and has a poor base iron sight.

How does the Kilo 141 compare to other long-range weapons in terms of mobility?

The Kilo 141 has better mobility than most long-range weapons, allowing for quick rotations around the map, and it can still outperform many weapons at their prime ranges despite having worse recoil and range profile compared to the PKM and LK24.

What is the SKS known for in the Call of Duty community?

The SKS is famous for its extremely fast time to kill of 165 milliseconds, capable of shifting the tides of a match in favor of the user, even at close range against aggressive SMGs.

What are the drawbacks of the SKS in terms of mobility and flinch control?

The SKS has very low mobility, and if built for usable flinch control, it sacrifices mobility for a higher flinch in return, making it less effective in close combat scenarios.

How does the AS Val compare to the SKS in terms of mobility and time to kill?

The AS Val has a faster rate of fire and better range than the SKS, with almost SMG-like mobility, a 4.20 m/s strafe speed, and a 280 millisecond ADS speed, making it more versatile in both close and long-range engagements.

What are the key strengths of the HVK-30 in the current meta?

The HVK-30 is one of the strongest and most versatile weapons with a time to kill profile that rivals even passive weapons at range, capable of one-shot headshots up to 28.8 meters and competitive time to kills at longer distances.

What are the main cons of the Odin in terms of its performance?

The Odin has high vertical recoil, requiring a build focused on recoil control, and its hip fire is the worst among ARs, necessitating ADS before shooting. Additionally, it has slow ADS and reload speeds, and poor bullet impact for an LMG.

Why is the MSMC not included in the main list of weapons?

The MSMC, despite being a strong close-range option, is not included due to its high horizontal recoil, less forgiving nature compared to the Fennec, slower mobility, and slower reload speed.

What is the current status of the MG42 in the game?

The MG42 is currently feared by ranked players due to its fast rate of fire and potent close-range lethality, but it has been nerfed, affecting its wall penetration and bullet impact, and it suffers from slow spin-up and reload speeds.

Keywords

💡Meta

In the context of video games, 'Meta' refers to the most effective tactics or strategies that players use in a game, often based on the current state of the game's balance and updates. In the video, the term is used to discuss the new season in 'Call of Duty Mobile' and the weapons that are currently the best options for players to use, as they have been adjusted or 'nerfed' in the game's balance.

💡ADS Speed

ADS stands for 'Aim Down Sights,' which is the action of aiming a weapon in a first-person shooter game. 'ADS Speed' refers to how quickly a player can transition from normal view to aiming down the sights of their weapon. In the script, it is mentioned that a 'Nerf' to the Tundra's ADS speed could affect its performance, but it still remains a top choice for sniping.

💡Passive Weapons

Passive weapons in gaming are typically those that do not require active aiming or engagement to be effective. In the video, passive weapons are described as those that excel in medium to long-range engagements and can lock down lanes against enemy advances, such as the PKM, which has a high ammo capacity and impressive damage potential.

💡Flinch

In gaming, 'Flinch' refers to the involuntary reaction of a character when they are hit by gunfire, which can affect their aim. The script discusses how some weapons, like the LK24, are known for their lack of flinch, making them more stable and easier to use when returning fire.

💡Time to Kill (TTK)

TTK is a measure of how long it takes to eliminate an opponent in a game, usually based on the number of shots and where they hit. The script uses TTK to compare the effectiveness of different weapons, such as the SKS, which has an incredibly fast TTK if the player can land shots in the right areas.

💡DMR

DMR stands for 'Designated Marksman Rifle,' a type of weapon that is typically used for medium to long-range engagements. The script discusses the SKS as a famous DMR in the game, known for its fast TTK and effectiveness in both close and long-range combat.

💡Hip Fire

Hip fire is when a player shoots a weapon without aiming down the sights, relying on the weapon's hip fire spread. The video mentions that some weapons, like the Odin, have poor hip fire stats, requiring players to aim down sights for more consistent performance.

💡Bullet Velocity

Bullet velocity is the speed at which a bullet travels from the gun to the target. In the script, it is mentioned that the Odin has slow bullet velocity, which affects its performance at longer ranges and makes it less desirable for players who need to engage enemies quickly.

💡Smg

SMG stands for 'Submachine Gun,' a type of weapon that is typically used for close-quarters combat due to its high rate of fire and mobility. The video discusses several SMGs, such as the Fennec and the R9, which are popular choices for aggressive playstyles in the game.

💡Nerf

In gaming, a 'nerf' is a reduction in the effectiveness or power of a weapon, character, or ability. The script mentions that the Tundra received an ADS speed nerf, which slightly reduced its performance, but it still remains a top choice for sniping.

💡Reload Speed

Reload speed is the time it takes for a player to reload their weapon. In the video, the MG42 is mentioned as having an annoyingly slow reload speed, which is a significant drawback despite its other strengths, such as high rate of fire and lack of recoil.

Transcripts

you're not

brave men are

brave hey everyone this is Lock and Load

this's a new season in Call of Duty

mobile and therefore a new meta let's

start first of we are snipers or well a

sniper arguably the best weapon category

for snipe and Destroy we have the only

contestant for this sport the tundra it

has received an ads speed Nerf going

from 480 Mills to 500 for the base

weapon though this Nerf May alarm you it

translates to only one frame of worse

ads speed with elastic Airborne tape and

therefore it still stands above other

snipers remaining the best option for

sniping next up we have the passive

weapons those that excel at me to long

range engagements as well as having the

ability to lock down Lanes from enemy

pushes the first we have is the PKM with

the potential for 200 rounds per ammo

belt and an impressive 25 M three tap

potential if you can land a single shot

to the upper body or arms and having

infinite four shot kill the PKM is a

beast at suppressive fire rendering the

enemies unable to push through chalk

points however the PKM has its downsides

despite the recent buff in swap speed

PM's handling and Mobility is still

overall poor even compared to it lmgp

and thus making it very vulnerable to

flankers or being caught off guard when

rotating from camping point to Camping

point if you dislike PM's back breaking

weight then you can try out the lk24 a

weapon well known for its Flinch or lack

thereof a range profile not to be

scoffed at Great recoil and Bs although

having significantly better Mobility

than the previous option the LK is still

lacking in that department to play close

range effectively much like the PKM I

bet to a much lesser degree but that is

the least of the lks problems as it

features a poor base iron sight

hindering your view necessitating the

need for an optic if you don't have a

blueprint with custom sides but despite

all of these drawbacks thek still

deserves a sport as one of the best

options bored of being stuck to one spot

and unable to move around then the next

gun is for you the kilo a weapon that

needs no further introduction featuring

Mobility on the better end of the

spectrum while still beating most

weapons at long range performance though

not as good as the PKM all the lk24 at

their Prime ranges due to worst recoil

and range profile the kilo more than

makes up for it in its ability to rotate

quickly around the map and with that the

kilo earns itself a spot in the metal

East so far we've only been discussing

full AO weapons now we are moving on to

the single firing weapons dedicated to

DMR enjoyers the SKS in famous in the

codam community from rank to competitive

known for its insane 165 millisecond

time to kill if you can land a single

shot on the stomach or above except the

upper arms as well as one tapping to the

head for basically up to Infinity in the

hand of a competent player the SKS can

shift the tides of the match in favor of

the user beating even aggressive SMGs at

close range and passive set long but

like with all good things even this

comes with the catch it being that the

SKS believe they have very low Mobility

if you build it out to have usable

Flinch or have laughably high Flinch in

return for a quite average Mobility to

fix these issues we have the goat FMJ as

well the more aggressive younger brother

of the SKS it much like its bigger

brother features a very consistent two

shot kill to the body if you hit the

stomach or above again except the upper

arms to 43 M and a one tap head shot to

around 37.8 M the one thing that does

push the as well to relevance even with

the SKS existing with a faster rate of

fire and better range is its almost SMG

like Mobility with its 4.20 m/s strafe

speed and 280 millisecond adus speed

fully Ked out and despite the massive

Mobility advantage over the SKS the as

Wells hit Flinch being surprisingly low

coming in at just 0.85 which is high but

still pretty good for a DMR love

challenging SMGs and then snipers at the

same time this category is perfect for

you to begin of course we have the hvk

Striking fear into every man's heart it

still dominates The Meta as it's it's

one of the strongest and most versatile

weapons it can toap to the head till

28.8 M bringing an unmatched 90 Mond

time to kill but even if you don't hit

head shot it has a competitive time to

kill of 180 milliseconds until 17.5 M if

you land two shots on the chest and 28.8

if you manage to hit no legs or upper

arms in that endeavor it four shots

until 47.8 M with a 270 millisecond time

to kill with of course the condition of

no leg shot shots and at five shots till

Infinity with a 360 millisecond end kill

without an asteris this time making this

an extremely veratile weapon due to this

time to kill profile rivaling even more

passive weapons at

range next up the type 19 the new King

on the gr strong is a fast firing

versatile weapon having extremely easy

recoil this means this is a weapon

that's very easy to use while still

being competitive with 240 millisecond

time to kill up to 15 M or 31 .3 if you

can Land Two Shots on the lower arms or

higher while possessing great Flinch at

0.42 for those far away encounters it

also has the best hip accac compared to

any other ARs paed with its great

Mobility it keeps this gun lethal up

close its cons would include the Fairly

average BSA and the not so great time to

car Beyond 43.8 M now we have the guns

saved by the grace of a single

attachment similar to the hvk the Dr h i

mean the being a popular com choice this

gun has the ability to Riv a even SMG T

to its 210 millisecond time to kill and

a very consistent three shot up to 21.8

M even on one lower arm shot it can also

Flinch your opponents heavily due to the

1.3 to Bullet impact and has fairly good

Mobility even despite all these Pros it

possesses a fairly good BSA for a flex

after its initial range this gun demands

more and more shots on the upper body to

give the time to competitive being one

of the only cods aside from the slow

rate of fire up next is a weapon that's

recently made an entry in the

competitive scene and is here to stay

the Odin this gun is quite the extremist

it has exceptional time to kill at 145

milliseconds faster than your own

reaction time if you can land both shots

on or above the lower arms or a chest

shot up to 25 M it still maintains a

respectable 290 millisecond time to kill

beyond that range up to 39.2 M Beyond

which it is horrible to use thanks to

the slow bullet velocity and time to

kill it has a pretty decent Flinch for a

flex at 0.65 and an amazing bullet

impact at 1.5 you've heard about the

good now it's time for the ugly the

vertical recoil is insanely high and

requires you to build this gun for

recoil its hip fire stat is the worst

compared to any other AR even worse than

most snipers requiring you to always ads

before going for a kill the ads and

reload spe speeds also tend to be on the

slower end of flex weapons one of the

most popular weapon classifications in

the game Still Remains great as always

it being the aggressive weapon the fic

as expected TOS this list always being a

great option ever since it's

introduction more than 3 years ago it

shoots at an impressive 1,100 rounds per

minute which makes it very forgiving

when it comes to missing shots it also

features the best hit fire for an SMG

allowing you to consistently hit Target

when getting up close and personal

without having to ads allowing you to

have a higher sensitivity and vision in

such encounters though having a 216

millisecond time to kill it's also one

of the most forgiving SMGs allowing you

to get three legs Beyond which it will

take an extra shot to kill in its first

range being 14.4 M its Effectiveness

starts diminishing Beyond 21 M due to

the high Flinch and Slow Time to Kill

the other option for aggressive play

would be the R9 the R9 ads can achieve a

consistent 19 M two shot kill at 200

millisecond time to kill and has seen a

lot of usage in the competitive scene

just uh make sure that you ads whenever

possible the R9 has a pretty pathetic

hipfire spread only beating the argust

the qxr a relatively new weapon on this

list though it's no stranger to being a

meta weapon it along with the pp19 Bon

were once dominant during their launch

phase overshadowing every other SMG back

then it was away from the Limelight

after being nerfed to Oblivion but a few

consecutive Buffs have made the gun rise

from its ashes and is now a very

powerful option it when paired with the

enhanced VA perk and range boosting

attachments give it a mid-range time to

kill comparable to some ARS while still

being a competitive SMG up close if you

manage to hit all shots to the upper

body which gives you the sweet whole

shot to kill however do mind in the

first range even a single shot to the

legs will send you off to a five shot

kill being 240 milliseconds which is on

the slow end for SMGs in that range it

also has pretty poor ripire performance

for an SMG requiring you to aim down

sides for more consistent performance

finally we have guns that have not been

included in this list due to either

major cons or just being slightly worse

options compared to their PS in the list

kicking off the honorable mentions we

have the msmc after seeing some Buffs in

the recent season it has become a pretty

strong s up closed compar in with other

top options like the F neck while still

having pretty decent mid-range

performance the hipfire buff made it

have performance in line with other SMGs

up close it boasts a very quick 195

millisecond time to kill up to 11.6 M

but also has a 260 millisecond time to

kill up to 21 M this gun also has solid

Flinch at 0.81 being closer to some clas

and also has great inial VSA now you may

ask what's keeping it off the main list

its problems include the horizontal

recoil which might be too high for some

people it's also less forgiving than the

fenic only allowing you to hit one leg

shot Beyond which you will need an extra

shot to kill it's also a bit slower

Mobility wise and at reload speed now we

have the type 19's twing the growl these

two guns are quite similar but the type

19 just tends to be a more stable

version of The Grow having slightly

faster rate of fire bullet velocity and

better Fringe whereas although the grow

has fairly High Fringe its first Fring

extends slightly more than the type 19

but the second range is worse it also

has slightly faster handling speeds and

reload speed overall pretty similar guns

but type 19 just edges ahead a little to

finish this list we have the gun you've

been waiting for ready to comment asking

where is it the mg42 the gun currently

feared by every ranked player this gun

would have even been in the main list if

not for the recent nerves this is a gun

having insanely fast rate of fire

potentially faster than even the fck

this makes it quite potent up close

alongside that Clos range lethality it's

very strong at range due to its near

lack of recoil it also somehow possesses

like one of the best hip fire stats in

the game now coming to the cons its wall

penetration is more similar to AR and

now has a pretty low bullet impact for

an lmg it's also having an insanely slow

spin to fire speed and the reload speed

is just annoyingly slow the mobility is

of course not the greatest being an lmg

this has been Lock and Load going down
