It takes enemies out quickly with an accurately sustained rate of fire. It is very important that you hit your first few shots with this weapon to kill. This weapon can kill within 3-4 rounds.

FMJ does work with this weapon. The Rampart 17 does high damage to enemies through cover with FMJ. With engineer, you can predict where enemies are by seeing where their equipment appears throughout the map. Engineer enables you to destroy equipment through walls and FMJs additional power helps destroy equipment faster. The Rampart 17 only gets 30 rounds, so fast mags is must have to prevent lag from slow reloads. Long barrel makes this weapon more competitive against tactical rifles and sniper rifles by reducing damage fall-off and increasing accuracy.

This weapon is an extreme rarity because it kills opponents with just a single burst fire to the body. The  5-round burst operator mod turns this weapon into a killing machine.

FMJ sends bullets straight through wooden and metal surfaces. Using the recon specialist and UAVs makes FMJ more effective because you can  shoot  enemies before they can make visual contact with you.

Its ability to maintain an accurate sight picture while firing is phenomenal. This weapon has the maneuverability and fire rate of a tactical rifle and the power of a sniper rifle.

Using iron sights on this weaponallows you to kill up close and personal, but still dominate at a distance. Extended mags II allows you to have a 20 round magazine capacity. It is important that you use extended mags to cut the time you spend reloading.

The combat knife makes a valuable sidekick. It allows you to move quickly to objectives and melee any one in your way. Sliding is the best way to quickly get close to your enemy and slash them.

• Secondary: None
• Attachments: n/a
• Gear: none
• Perk 1: none
• Perk 2: Lightweight
• Perk 3: Tracker
• Wildcards: Primary Gunfighter 1

The VMK 750 is a steam roller and its slow rate of fire keeps you accurate and on target. Its slower fire rate also keeps you from running out of ammo so often. This is a headhunter’s weapon because of its power and accuracy. By adding high caliber, the damage done by landing a head shot increases and makes the VMK 750 a two-shot kill average.

Without attachments accuracy is you friend, fire rate is not.Upgrading to rapid fire is essential. Rapid fire knock targets down faster and its effects are most noticeable at close range. Rapid fire also helps when trying to take out groups of enemies standing in a corridor or hallway. Quickdraw is a useful because it decreases the time it takes to aim down sights, which is a weakness of an LMG.

The Fat barrel primary operator mod is majorly important. It may be difficult to earn, but the work is well worth the reward. This mod increases the size of your rounds making it easy to demolishes enemies. By making the rounds larger it becomes much easier to land shots on your targets. We’ve all been there when you fire a round at your enemy and it zooms right between their legs or over their shoulder. With fat barrel that will happen less often. To be a killer you’ve got to be able to catch your enemy, which tracker and lightweight allow you to successful do.

1. Class Name: Commander-N-Chief

• Primary: MX9
• Attachments: ELO Optics, Rapid Fire, High Caliber, Hybrid Mags
• Secondary: None
• Attachments: n/a
• Gear: COMSEC Device
• Perk 1: Engineer
• Perk 2: Gung-Ho
• Perk 3: Ghost
• Wildcards: Primary Gunfighter 1
• Score Streaks: Care Package, Hell Storm, Strike Team
• Specialist: Ruin

The MX9 packs a hell of a punch and can fire over long distances. The reason this weapon does so well in combat is because of its power. The MX9 is the strongest SMG. Its slower fire rate allows you to maintain accuracy from farther distances than other SMGs.

ELO sights are a critical attachment for success. They allow you to aim at targets without visual interference from sight posts and optic frames. Rapid fire is an awesome tool to have with the strongest SMG in the game. Hybrid mags bring the maximum ammo capacity to 45 rounds per mag and reduces the reload speed to nearly 1 second flat. Ghost prevents you from becoming an easy kill from someone who has you on their UAV. UAV can be earned with as little as 450 score while using COMSEC device.

Killing opponents becomes second-nature with this class, so choose better killstreaks. Using COMSEC device on this deadly class will earn you frequent killstreaks. COMSEC device gives the killstreaks attack chopper and strike team a bigger score cost reduction than any of the other killstreaks. Its wise to use Engineer while care package is equipped because it allows you to re-roll each care package you and increases the likelihood you receive something useful from the care package.
