Instead of showing your ignorance, maybe you should actually check people's stats first; I have one of the lowest IW play time in the thread precisely because I have better things to do.

Also, it's really sad that I have to remind someone that's played as much as you the core rule of multiplayer:

Never play alone, only play with goons.

Also, I've mentioned this before, but I wasn't going to play IW this year.
A goon bought it for me, so I'm giving it my best effort.
And as Don Williams says, "It's the only game in town"; I either play IW, or I don't play any CoD at all right now.

Someone needs to explain to me why my accuracy in IW is less than half of what it has been for every CoD in the last ten years.

They also need to explain why my accuracy for burst weapons is same as it has been historically, plus or minus three percent.

If the sway on the Gauss Gun drives you up the wall too, I just found out that the high-zoom mode on the VMC sight (almost?) completely eliminates it. Once again, the Scout Hybrid doesn't get the same thing in its high-zoom mode, continuing its undefeated streak for the title of Worst Optic. Between that and the patch that increased the range for the single-shot variants and the charge damage bonus for the burst variants, I think it's now in the realm of usability.

So uh... remember when that thing that got leaked about the Summer Wrap-Up poo poo?

It's fuckin' live now. 45 keys for THREE DUPE PROTECTED SUMMER ITEMS.

And here's the kicker, if you have everything already, You're gonna get that Epic-tier Dupe Salvage. 600 salvage for 45 keys if you're a whale and/or keyhoarder you get everything.

So basically if you spent 2160 keys in the previous 4 weeks you can now get 600 salvage per 45 keys?

What a steal!

I won't even have time to finish up my zombie bounties for those 50 keys :rip:

Lookit this nerd who doesn't do their bounties in the first day or so, HA.

(Fun fact: There are some bullshit challenges in the zombie bounties, so I understand why it'll suck to even try for the keys sometimes.)

Also some math for you: You would have to spend 2700 keys actually over the five weeks. Now, since it's 90 crates total and you now get THREE per pull, you'd NOW only have to pull 30 crates to get everything assuming you never pulled anything this last month.

That's only like... 1350 keys for everything from a fresh start. Subtract however much you bothered to spend chasing ballistic Volk RAINBOWNED CAMO and it could be a lot smoother.

On the other better COD there's a triple play package. 400 keys for for 10 boxes, a QR-MSTR collection hack and I think a Mk. 2 Epic hack. There's also a legendary or better AR hack you can buy for 1000 salvage (3 times max).

Both seem like pretty good deal, though I'm not sure the triple play stuff is dupe protected.

EDIT: The Mk. 2 Epic is dupe-protected at least. Got the G-Rail Legendary from the QR-MASTER hack and the Proteus Polarity from the Mk. 2. Epic snipe/shotgun aaaaaaaaw yeah.

Welcome to the "Very loving Useful Optic" Club, buddy.

I had 2k salvage so I bought two of the AR Hacks. One got me the nuke R3K (with bonus dupe Type 2 thing), and the other got me the very loving good and not lame Type-2 Butcher Variant that gives you akimbo shotguns instead of akimbo SMGs.

And to think, all it took was a few Master Prestige Garbosticks to get yer feet wet.

But yeah, IWZombies trades deep story for quality of life things. Consider at least DLC3 for Elvira purposes.

Edit: Oh, and for Blops 3, DLC1 has that big honkin' castle.

IW Zombies is straight up fun zombies with needlessly complicated EE if you want to go down that rabbit hole. Shaolin Shuffle's EE is not easy but has by far the best reward out of all the maps.

EDIT: I just realized I forgot to actually get the AR hacks. Got the R3KT (Already had the MK 2) and Volk Goliath out of it. I'll definitely give the Goliath a try when I get back to playing this. The R3KT I kinda love and hate. It's a laser gun with little to no recoil but the rate of fire is just a hair too slow for my taste. I'm also kinda biased against energy weapons since poo poo like the Trencher and Yokai exist.

The only thing the Goliath has over the M1 is magazine capacity. Worse rate of fire, marginally worse ADS time with Quickdraw, and you will actually hit the 3-shot range with the Goliath in gameplay. And the problem with the "high damage, low rate of fire" guns in IW is that the RAW outclasses all of them, plus you don't have to pay significant movement and handling penalties to use the RAW.
