Modern Warfare 3 Players Call for Buff of Worst Marksman Rifle

Players of Modern Warfare 3 have been advocating for a boost to one of the game’s weaker marksman rifles, with many deeming it the “least effective weapon”and insisting that significant improvements are necessary.

The marksman rifle class offers a well-balanced combination of powerful weapons and some that may be considered less impressive. It is a versatile class of weapons that can have a significant impact when utilized effectively.

Similarly, in both Warzone and Modern Warfare 3 multiplayer, the Kar98k has been the dominant weapon of choice, while the MTZ Interceptor also boasts a formidable firepower, effortlessly taking down adversaries.

Despite its strong assault rifle counterpart, the MCW 6.8 has left some players feeling disappointed.

One user on Reddit expressed frustration, questioning how the gun could still be so useless. They went on to describe their experience with the gun, stating that it has been testing their patience due to its poor performance. Despite being labeled as a “Marksman Rifle,”the MCW 6.8 is considered the worst gun in the game and feels more like a gutted version of the MCW with a smaller magazine and semi-automatic capabilities.

“According to one player, the 30 round mag is essential, but it still falls short of being good. Another player argued that despite requiring only 1 headshot for a 2-hit kill, it would be more practical to use a different weapon at that point.”

Despite previously being praised for its solid build and powerful shots with the Full Auto Conversion Kit, some have voiced concerns that the gun’s effectiveness has decreased. As a result, the community is now calling for buffs, with hopes that either Raven or Sledgehammer will address the issue and improve the weapon.

Despite being nerfed back in Season 2, the rifle has not undergone any significant adjustments since then. As we anticipate the release of Black Ops 6, it is unlikely that there will be any major balancing changes in the near future.

Currently, even with the best MCW 6.8 loadout, you will struggle to compete against superior guns such as the MCW, BP50, and Kar98 at long distances.
