Compare Build

Overview

Some trackers group it with the snipers. wzstats and nolagvpn list it as the #1 sniper. Season 1 raised its max damage range from 36.83 m to 40.13 m.

Strengths

Its high damage means a clean first hit often ends the fight.
It has strong long-range potential, and Season 1 extended its range.
It is rated at the top of the class by Dexerto (S tier) and by trackers in Warzone.

Weaknesses

It is weak at close range and needs a secondary.
Its bolt timing punishes firing or moving too early.
Its long rechamber (about 1.8 s) and 5-round mag limit follow-ups.

Perk and equipment notes

Only Dexerto lists perks, and its build differs from CODMunity's Versatile build in this file. CODMunity shows no perks. wzstats shows one identical block on every MW4 gun page (Ninja, Quick Fix, Scavenger; Semtex, Stim), not tied to a build or mode, so it only counts as weak corroboration.

Source notes

Top-level velocity/adsMs/sprintToFireMs are Warzone base values (CODMunity weapon page and GGRanked Warzone page agree exactly). Class: marksman rifle (official patch notes, Dexerto, Games Atlas, GGRanked, mw4field table) - matches our list; the official Season 1 overview blog once calls its Battle Pass blueprint an 'Assault Rifle' blueprint (likely an error). Bolt-action: rpm 44 (GGRanked, CODMunity, Games Atlas; mw4field 52 - outlier, not used); rechamber 1767 ms (GGRanked, CODMunity). Magazine 5 (GGRanked, CODMunity, Games Atlas, mw4field); reload 3333 (GGRanked, CODMunity). Head multiplier is CODMunity's stats-table value (table is labelled Warzone, but for this class it matches the GGRanked MP head/body ratio, not Warzone's). MP brackets from GGRanked (0-40 / 41-55 / 56+ m); bracket ends 40.13 m and 55.63 m are the official Season 1 values (Max Damage Range 36.83 -> 40.13 m; Medium Damage Range 1 55.63 m unchanged; also Dexerto and CODMunity patch history). MP damages 93 / 86 / 60 are GGRanked only: the official page's Mosin damage rows are malformed (shown as 2.36 m / 2.18 m / 1.52 m), so they cannot confirm damage. GGRanked MP body-part damage: head 158, neck 111, upper torso 102, upper arm 102, lower torso/lower arm/legs 93 (vs MP health 100). GGRanked Warzone body-part damage: head 300, neck/upper torso 165, all others 135 (vs Warzone health 300). Not in CODMunity's MW4 TTK ranking (as rendered). MP handling (GGRanked): velocity 700 m/s, ADS 350 ms, sprint-to-fire 240 ms. DMZ page damage values are identical to the Warzone page, but it shows MP velocity/ADS (700 m/s, 350 ms). Warzone profile is GGRanked only (low). DMZ profile is from GGRanked's DMZ page only; the page does not show which mode tab its stats block reflects, so treat as unconfirmed DMZ data. DMZ profile health is null: base health 150 is sourced (DMZ Codex) but armor per plate is not.
