The crossbow in black ops 1 in black ops 2 is how we are going to kick off today's list
This was a fan favorite bonus weapon that has appeared in its appeared in a few different Cod games
But it is most remembered for its appearance in black ops 1 and 2 now
The crossbow was a projectile weapon that fired extremely slowly and was actually a projectile rather than a scam meeting
You had to lead your shots and account for the drop from it long range
But if you could actually stick someone with the crossbow it was not only a massive showing of skill
But it was also one of the most satisfying
Feelings in cod history the bl1 crossbow had a huge blast radius with the explosive tip as well
Which gave you a little bit of extra leeway with the accuracy?
But the bo2 crossbow was way less
Forgiving making it a lot harder to use effectively and I think it's a good way to start a list off like this today
m1 garand in world at war and Call of Duty World War 2 this
Iconic World War 2 weapon has appeared in many Call of Duty games throughout the years
But the world at war in the world war 2 versions are the ones that get a spot on today's list now in these games
M1 garand was a semi-automatic slow firing hard hitting weapon
It would take 2 to 3 shots to kill and it only had 8 rounds in it
And if you hit your shots with the m1 garand, you know that good things happen
It was absolutely essential to hit them though, because it would hit like a truck
But if you missed your shots
That was one less of the 8
that you had to fire and you also have to keep in mind that the fire rate cap on the m1 was
extremely slow compared to just about everything else to the game meaning it would give your enemy a pretty
significant amount of time to pinpoint you and
Counter-attack you but if you knew how to hit your shots with this thing if it was a beast
The g3 in cod4 now call of duty 4 modern warfare was a game
Dominated by guns like the m16 the ak-47
Mp5 in the aks-74u, but what about the precision based guns? Where's the love for them?
the g3 was a
semi-automatic assault rifle and multiplayer that would kill in two to three shots depending on your range hit location and whether or not
You were using stopping power that really doesn't sound that impressive in a game like cod 4 where everything can kill almost instantly
But if you knew what you were doing with this gun, you could dominate
semi-automatic weapons used to be very
different in Call of Duty due to the decreased health and the increased fire rate caps of the g3 was a
Perfect example of just this it was a gun the people either loved or they hated due to its high damage
But it's very awkward handling Plus in a game like cod 4
Why would you use a precision based gun?
When you could just throw on the m16 on your class and get a bunch of free kills, but if you use it
And you mastered it you were good at it
The ballista in black ops 2 at number 7 one of the most beloved snipers in all of Call of Duty
The ballista was the quickscoper, 's weapon of choice in black ops 2 and there were so many montages with this thing
but what made is so tough to use and what got it a spot on today's list was the fact that when you break the
Ballista down from a statistical standpoint. It really wasn't that great. It fired pretty slowly
It had a very small one-shot kill area in the reload time was actually pretty long
But the ballista more than made up for it with its very quick aim downsides time meeting you had to be accurate with your shots
But if you managed to do that, it were awarded you greatly the ballista was an excellent sniper if you knew how to aim
But it punished you if you were slightly off the mark
the KSG in black ops 2 let's stick with black ops 2 for a second here and
Shotguns are often seen as spam weapons in Call of Duty nowadays, but the KSG
Well, it was the furthest thing from the truth
The KST was almost like an iron sight sniper rifle in the way that it handled
It was a slug shotgun that had a ridiculous stupid range and it had one-shot kill potential
But the hitbox was so tiny that it actually I mean actually using the gun to its full potential
It was difficult
you had to be great at tracking enemies weaving in and out of cover and knowing how to get follow-up shots quickly if things didn't
Go your way
The kht really was a sniper in a shotguns body and a lot of people they loved it for that. Very reason the
riot shield at number 5
Now the riot shield first appeared in modern warfare 2 and has since come back and maybe many many Call of Duty games
many people see this thing as a gimmick weapon, but if you ever actually try to use this thing seriously
It's not easy
You really have to learn how to manipulate
People's actions and get in their heads when you're using the riot shield
Depending on which game you're playing. There are tons of funky angles. You have to learn in order to effectively block incoming fire
But if you really know how to use this thing you can be virtually
Unkillable, you can be a juggernaut
I remember back in modern warfare 2 and modern warfare 3 there were people who would use the riot shield
Completely hold down domination flags on their own because they were just so good at tracking enemy fire
Manipulating enemy movement to keep them in front of the shield and prevent all flanks
I kind of hope that the riot shield makes a comeback in modern warfare 4 because I would love to see the new movement of
Riot shield players. Take back over
the argos in black ops 3 this is basically a
Futuristic version of the KSG from black ops 2 that we spoke of earlier
But I would honestly argue that the argos took more skill due to the fact that at bo3
Everybody was flying around on jetpacks and running on walls, which made it a lot harder to track people and line up your shots
Just like the KSG the Argos had extremely generous range and great one-shot kill potential
But that hitbox was super small when aiming downside
so while it rewarded you great for hitting your shots it punished you if you miss them, especially
In a game like bo3 where things are. I mean you've got specialists and you've got bread cheese everywhere
I mean it just you if you're gonna use it. You better be accurate with it and speaking of futuristic versions of things
the locust in black ops 3 now the locust was by far the most popular go-to sniper bo3 because it was essentially a
futuristic version of the bo2
Ballista, but just like the khd in the argus I would argue that the locust actually took more skill to use than its black ops
2 counterpart due to various changes in the gameplay
Not only were people running on walls
flying around but you also have to remember there was no aim assist on the snipers in bo3 which was a massive nerf to the
Sniper class as a whole so now not only were people zipping around way quicker than ever before in Call of Duty
but you no longer had the help of tracking targets on a controller meaning who's all about your aim in your
Precision with the weapon and the locust was extremely difficult to use effectively
But that is exactly why it garnered the number 3 spot today. So what do you guys think?
Do you think the ballista or do you think the locust took more skill to play with the sea of 9:01 in mw3?
This is a super underrated assault rifle and it was one of the least used guns in the game
Despite its in the same damage. It was a full auto high damage assault rifle
That was the only fully automatic gun in the game capable of killing with two shots giving it one of the highest
Theoretical times to kill in modern warfare 3 but the actual frequency of getting that two-shot kill was slim to none due to the insane
Recoil that came with each pull of the trigger and the precision required to actually handle it
But if you somehow managed to control this mule of a gun you could melt people from any range before they ever knew
What was happening and man, nobody ever talks about this gun?
I had to show it some love and this is probably the only time
You'll ever see it high up on a list the ballistic knife and bo1 and bo2
Takes the number one spot today you probably guess this and the ballistic knife was first added to Call of Duty in the original
Black ops it was a fun little bonus weapon
but it quickly became a fan favorite leading to it being brought back in black ops 2
it's exactly what it sounds like a knife that shoots like a bullet but unlike all the other guns in black ops the
Ballistic knife was a projectile rather than a hit scam meaning you not only had to judge the travel time
but the ark as well as the knife would drop towards the ground while it was airborne slaying out with the ballistic knife was so
Hard to do in black ops 1 & 2 but people absolutely loved it
There were some people who would actually go off with this thing in multiplayer
And there was some really really good montages of it as well
I think there was a whole community built around this ballistic knife
And that is why it gets the number one spot on a list about guns or weapons that take skill
