Class: Assault rifle

Last verified Nov 11, 2026Season Season 1

Compare Build

Overview

Hits hard but has heavy recoil. Apex builds give very fast close-range MP kills. The Volt Apex adds an underbarrel launcher that fires stun darts (non-lethal) and blocks the barrel slot.

Strengths

High damage potential.
Fast close-range MP TTK with Volt builds (279 ms at 0-10m).
Buffed twice: lighter recoil penalties on two attachments (Oct 28), then longer range and faster ADS movement (Season 1).

Weaknesses

Recoil is heavy and needs careful management.
Very low base ease-of-use score (3.8/10).
Small 25-round base magazine.

Warzone: 300 health, body shots, every shot hits. Assumes 300 to kill a fully plated player: official Season 1 notes confirm three plates and imply about 300 in total, but the exact health and plate split isn't published. Warzone damage comes from one source.

Source notes

Top-level velocity/adsMs/sprintToFireMs are Warzone base values (CODMunity weapon page and GGRanked Warzone page agree exactly). Magazine 25 per GGRanked and CODMunity (mw4field's undefined 'Rounds' column shows 44 - not used). Head multiplier 1.3 is CODMunity's stats-table value only (that table is stale for M4/Han 86), low confidence. MP brackets from GGRanked (0-33 / 34-50 / 51+ m); 33.53 m first end is the Season 1 patch max damage range (31.24 -> 33.53 m). MP velocity 620 m/s / ADS 280 ms per GGRanked only. 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.
