Time to tool up and get ready to deploy the best COD:M has to offer!
The Cream of the Crop: Season 10‘s Top Assault Rifles
The unmatched versatility of assault rifles continues to make them a popular choice across everything from close-quarters Search and Destroy firefights to the heated objectives of Domination. These all-rounder weapons allow you to adapt on the fly while retaining accuracy and impact across ranges.
Let‘s dive into the stats and performance characteristics that make these ARs tick in the current meta, based on extensive in-game testing:
HKVK-Large Caliber Damage Profile:
- Chest Damage: 57 per bullet
- Legs Multiplier: 1.1x (63 damage)
- Head Multiplier: 1.4x (80 damage)
This hard hitting AR can dish out serious pain even at range. TTK (time-to-kill) up close clocks in at 264ms based on a 4-shot kill threshold.
The Large Caliber ammo perk pushes out the 4-shot range to approximately 17 meters – lethal stopping power!
Recommended Build:
- MIP Light Barrel (Short)
- OWC Laser – Tactical
- 38 Round Extended Mag
- Rubberized Grip Tape
- Sleight of Hand
This loadout maximizes ADS speed and movement for aggressive play, while boosting ammo capacity. Rubberized grip slightly helps control Vertical Recoil of 15% base.
Pair with:
- Lethal: Molotov Cocktail
- Tactical: Concussion Grenade
- Perks: Quick Fix, Toughness
- Secondary: MW11
Molotovs help lock down HP objectives while concussions enable push timing. Toughness reduces flinch for sustained firefights and Quick Fix enables repeated engagements with fast HP regen.
The MW11 pistol watches my back up close. This versatile capability loadout has earned me three Nuke medals the past week!
LK24
If close-quarters skirmishing is more your style, the LK24 assault rifle brings potential for savage efficacy. Kit this bad boy out for mobility and control, with attachments like the MIP Light Barrel (Short), Tactical Laser, and Strippled Grip Tape. I‘ll explain why:
LK24 Handling Stats:
- ADS Time: ~200ms
- Sprint-fire Delay: 180ms
- Tactical Sprint-fire Delay: 210ms
Mobility is the name of the game here. The MIP Light barrel enhances ADS speed to 172ms and bumps up movement. Paired with the Tactical Laser‘s ADS and sprint-fire speed boost of 30ms, snap firing and strafing come lightning quick!
The Strippled Grip tape rounds it out with a tasty ADS speed increase to 164ms while helping control that Vertical Recoil kick. This weapon feels like an extension of my hand with cat-like reflexes!
Pair this LK24 setup with the standard meta Perks Lightweight and Toughness for aggressive movement plays. Packing an FHJ-18 launcher prepares you for enemy Scorestreaks. Cook Frag grenades help claim objectives. This loadout amplifies close range lethality while still retaining mid-range punch. Give it a spin to melt faces!
ASM10
Known for its hard-hitting rounds that chew through enemies, the ASM10 remains a force despite a Season 10 recoil nerf. This temperamental beast demands respect – caress the trigger gently and it will eradicate opponents with 3 shot kills even at impressive ranges. Embrace the wild spray, and you‘ll find targets dancing out of your crosshairs.
Base Weapon Stats:
- Damage Profile: 57, 49, 49, 49
- Chest shots pack a punch with a Swift TTK of 234ms
- Vertical Recoil kicks like an angry mule at 25%
Luckily the Gunsmith system offers tools to tame this bucking bronco. Attachments like the RTC Light Muzzle Brake and Tactical Foregrip A address Vertical Recoil big time. The Granulated Grip Tape provides rear grip support for barely manageable 21% kick.
With the Sleight of Hand Perk accelerating reloads, you practically eliminate this weapon‘s Achilles heel. Once you learn to gently guide shots, this AR can wipe teams before they know what hit them even post-nerf! It just comes with some personalized practice.
I still have nightmares of getting shredded by opponent ASM10 sprays during a Search and Destroy tournament finals. Treat this weapon with patience and respect, and it will reward you hundredfold.
CQC Melt Machines: Season 10‘s Top SMGs
Skilled rushers who love humiliating foes in close will find themselves right at home packing these lighting-fast SMG picks in Season 10. Agility, mobility, and blistering fire rates define the SMG category – apply the right loadouts and perks to become an uncatchable assassin!
QQ9
This apex predator stands ready to meltdown any target at short to medium range with a lethal TTK of 264ms up close. Maxing mobility and control transforms this into a hip-firing face melter for Room Sweeping Excellence.
Base Stats:
- Mobility: 80
- Fire Rate: 32 rpm
- ADS Speed: 17 frames
Attachments like the RTC Light Muzzle Brake and Tactical Laser boost ADS speed and sprint-fire response times by over 30%! Combined with the Strippled Grip Tape‘s flinch resistance, I‘m able to aggressively challenge ARs even mid-range thanks to superior handling.
The sleight of hand perk eliminates the QQ9‘s middling 1.73s tactical reload – extremely useful for sustained pushes. This tried and tested setup has led me to multiple quad feed plays and a satisfying Nuclear Killer medal just this morning!
For perk pairing, Agile enables rapid positional adjustments while Alert warns me of nearby lurkers looking to end my streak. An FHJ-18 launcher prepares me for enemy Scorestreaks. A Stim Shot provides emergency healing without slowing down. Give this complete package a spin to step up your SMG slaying!
QXR
Armed with a lightning-fast fire rate and iron sights that make target acquisition a breeze, the QXR stands ready to hose down unlocking victims who wander into your domain.
I outfit this little beast for mobility and ammunition capacity with Gunsmith attachments like the OWC Laser Tactical (ADS +15%), 38 Round Extended Mag, and Granulated Grip Tape for flinch resistance. The integrated suppressor is just chef‘s kiss – no tracers or radar pings gives away my position on merciless flanks.
Perks such as Persistence allows me to earn Scorestreaks faster to apply pressure while Tactical Mask reduces the impact of lethal equipment. I can maneuver more aggressively thanks to reduced concussion effects.
An FHJ-18 launcher prepares me for enemy Scorestreak retaliation. Cooked Frag grenades adds insurance for corner campers and objective pushes. In over 38 hours playtime this season, the QXR has become my new go-to for rapid momentum shifts in Hardpoint and Domination thanks to this complete loadout. Give it a shot and never look back!
Longshot Legends: Season 10‘s Top Sniper Rifles
For expert marksmen who live for one-shot-one-kill highlight reels, sniper rifles offer lethal tools of explosive execution. Trading raw firepower over fire rate demands precision and positioning. One clean headshot can immediately turn the tide in your favor. Season 10 offers both new and classic options to put enemies in the scope and on notice.
Rytec AMR w/ Thermite Rounds
Introduced in Season 9, the Rytec AMR‘s explosive and thermite ammo provides uniquely versatile threat potential at any range. Each shot explodes on impact, doling our mass damage. But this anti-material rifle suffers mobility and fire rate drawbacks…
Until you slap on the Thermite rounds! Igniting targets on connect extends the pain over time. Direct hits clock in at 275 damage, while the burning thermite deals 50 damage over 5 seconds. This enables some cheeky collateral playmaking!
The Gunsmith system helps address handling deficiencies for viability up close. Attachments like the RTC Light Muzzle Brake and Tactical Laser boost ADS speed by 37% and STF by 32% – much needed for aggressive quick scoping.
The Solozero Optic provides clean sight picture for distant pesky snipers, while Sleight of Hand keeps ammo flowing to capitalize on collaterals.
This setup has earned me Play of the Game quad feeds thanks to lucky wall bangs! But positioning and reading spawns determins success with this weapon. Perks such as Alert and Dead Silence complement stealthy sight lines to line up fiery kills from unexpected angles.
Once you learn lead times for thermite arcing, enemies will learn fear burning retribution from unexpected angles!
DL Q33 Quickscoping Build
The lightning fast ADS potential of this legendary bolt action sniper continues its dominant reign cracking open skulls from afar. Fully optimizing ADS speed and sway give you quick target acquisition and steady tracking.
Favored by quick scoping phenoms, this setup earned me a 6-man Play of the Game thanks to ludicrous ADS potential:
- MIP Light Flash Guard: +10% ADS Speed
- RTC Mini Red Dot Sight: Clear sight picture
- Tactical Foregrip A: +18% ADS Speed
- Sleight of Hand: Faster bolt reload
With potential 187ms ADS time, reflex flick shots almost feel like hacking! Perks such as Ghost, Dead Silence, and Alert provide concealment while lining up team foiling collateral kills.
An SMG like the QQ9 watches my back up close while the Throphy System provides rear defense. With flawless accuracy and positioning, the Lightning DL Q33 continues making short work of overconfident enemies.
Annihilation for All Play Styles: Optimizing Loadouts By Game Mode
The lethal team competitions of Domination and Hardpoint demand focused loadouts to either defend or aggressively capture objectives. Search and Destroy equally requires adaptable tools for carrying out single life objectives or thwarting opponents.
Here‘s mode-specific loadout tips tailored for Season 10‘s most pulse-pounding playlists:
Domination Steamrollers:
With triple capped flags providing a 2 point per second burn, early advantages quickly snowball into insurmountable leads. These explosive setups help apply early pressure while maintaining map control:

Operator Skills: Apply Seasoned to Taste
Beyond primary weapon and perk selections, Operator skills represent impactful x-factors that can dramatically swing game outcomes. Here‘s a run through of viable picks for competitive modes. Choose based on your style:
-
Annihilator: Lethal hand cannon for 1 shot pops
-
Death Machine: Shreds groups holding objectives
-
Sparrow: High skill archery for explosive picks
-
War Machine: Grenade launcher demoralizes teams
-
Purifier: Dangerous but satisfying up close burns
I prefer the Sparrow for surgical explosive impact without exposing myself up close. Quick charging time ensures it‘s often available during key offensive pushes or defensive stands.
