For Call of Duty Warzone 2.0 players, this guide will show you the best sight lines for all 1,000+ longshots to unlock platnuim on all weapons
Introduction & Distances per class
For Starters, To unlock the platinum challenges required, you will obviously need to unlock gold camo on the number of all weapons in a class the game launched with (7 assault rifles, 4 battle rifles, 9 SMGS, so on and so forth, so if there is a DLC weapon in future seasons that are better than a launch weapon you can do that instead).If you don’t know how to unlock gold, you just need to get 3 kills without dying 10 times (only 5 times with pistols) You can unlock this by just playing the game, but if you’re having trouble with this you can just camp and run ghost as your ultimate perk.
Here’s A quick run down on all the ranges required for Longshots
Assault Rifles – 38 meters
Battle Rifles – 38 meters
Marksman rifles – 38 meters
Light Machine Guns – 38 meters
Sub Machine Guns – 30 meters
Pistols – 20 meters
Shotguns – 12 meters
(for pistols and shot guns you have much more leeway on places to be in order to get long shots so this guide wont be as necessary)
Sniper rifles – 50 meters (also the only class where playing on ground war or invasion might be a good idea, since there isn’t a lot of super long sight lines in the 6v6 maps, but some spots will still work here.)
Game Modes and Attachment Guide lines
Playlists
The best play list for long shots in MW2022 will be tier 1 mode found in the main menu right below featured game modes.
This mode is great because all players will have about half the health as in core games modes. meaning it will be much easier to actually kill someone since ir will be taking 1-3 shots to get a long shot instead of 3-6+.
Attachment Guidelines – ARs, BRs, Semi Auto Marksman Rifles
When picking attachments for your assault rifles or weapons like them, the general guideline is to prioritise Recoil Control, Stabilisation and Aiming Stability.
To minimise any confusion as to what these terms mean heres a quick run down.
Recoil Controll – The magnitude to which a recoil pattern goes Upwards
Recoil Stabilisation – The magnitude in which the recoil pattern goes left or right
Its a general rule of thumb the horizontal recoil is much more difficult to control than vertical recoil as it’s harder to predict
Aiming Stability – The magnitude to which the gun bobs around when aiming / also called weapon sway. IMPORTANT – Unlike previous titles, weapons will still sway when you start shooting your weapon, this can make controlling recoil very difficult if you’re gun has poor aiming stability especially at long shot ranges
Using the M4 as a baseline we can see the best attachments to use on weapons for them to perform as well as possible fighting people from far away.
Barrel start by selecting a barrel which maximises recoil control, in the M4’s case the high tower barrel, or either of the carbine shroud barrels are best suited for long distance shooting.
For finding useful barrels on the other weapons I strongly recommend checking out Xclusive Ace’s gun guide playlist on youtube as he breaks down the recoil changes for all barrels in Modern warfare 2 a link to his gun guide play list is presented here: https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLnAiSQ-bKCPvuzVfzfTUdTa_kPFjVB3tf
Under Barrels Focus on grips that give recoil stabilisation benefits
Stocks Focus on stocks that maximize aiming stability and recoil control
Optic Recommendations
Holographic Sight with range finder
A nice clear ACOG scope
Thermal Scope which can see through smoke grenades
The last attachment slot is to to personal preference
Attachments Sub Machine Guns & Pistols Prioritise Bullet Velocity and Aiming Stability
Shotguns Full send Damage Range
