assault rifles are the quickest and easiest things to get gold/diamond, even though there is 7 of them. I would say I got all 7 AR's gold in half the time it took me to get the 4 shotguns gold.



For Longshots for the AR's, USE THE VARIX 3 SCOPE! It literally cuts logshot distance in half! Not sure if intended or if it will be patched, but long shots is more like mid range. It's very easy!

Snipers are super easy and beast when you get the ELO sight, bringing back the old WaW iron sight snipers. Very fun to mess with.

Get the Shotguns diamond first and everything is a breeze.

I played on Nuketown for the most part, as it's the only really fun map on BO3 so far. You also get about 20-50% more kills on average than regular maps due to close spacing and ease of holding corners.

LMG's are probably the easiest to get Diamond next to AR's because they're the same as Assault rifles minus High caliber (the main reason why AR's are so super easy).

First Pistol is the most OP weapon in game imo. No lie, at least for me. I've got a good trigger finger and used to be accused of using a modded controller by friends who did use them. Highest balance between damage/range/accuracy/mobility/kill speed.

It should go without saying, if you are aiming to get the 100 headshots, High Caliber is a must if applicable (only AR's got it).


There is no effective headshot multiplier, which makes me not like the game in the sense it takes away the skill aspect. No point in aiming -- just get chest shots, it'll hit accurately and kill them the most effectively.

Headshot multiplier might be like 1.1-1.3, but it's not effective enough to reduce the amount of hits to kill, unless in very few and rare situations where you might hit a leg shot and the distance changed drastically.


Rather than hitting someone 3-6 times in the head, it's a lot easier to hit them 1-2 times (Shieva is 1 shot head shot with High Caliber short to mid range). Burst guns like the XR-2 and M8 will have their recoil flick up and basically kill someone instantly.

I could get up to 30 headshots per game with High Caliber, for everything else I averaged ~15 per game.

how did you manage to get the headshots for the pistols, or haymaker/brecci? :ph34r:

LMFAO hes on to something LOL. that's where most people boost LOL

Quote (3hitk0 @ Dec 14 2015 07:51pm)

Wait are you suggesting for him to just go boost for it, or suggest that I boosted for it?


I can't stand hard core although I do see how you could easily boost on that lol. I didn't boost at all, just no lifed Nuke Town because I enjoy it far more than any other Black Ops 3 map.


I'm currently working on Gold/Hero Camo for my Specialists, just finished getting all of the basic challenges for them all. Now to get the Hero stuff :)


For those that don't know, you need to get 4x Kills per Ability in a single game 4 times, and 6x Kills per weapon in a single game 6 times. Some variation depending on the specialist but that's the main focus. It's pretty easy compared to the other challenges (like getting the double kills after Glitch with it's 2-3 second time window and inconsistent teleporting)
