Sniper rifles are very powerful in Call of Duty: Warzone because enemies are often far away. Now, a CoD YouTuber has discovered a buffed attachment that provides perfect stability for long-range weapons. MyMMO shows you the details.
Sometimes it’s just small things that make the difference between a good round and a frustrating end in Call of Duty: Warzone. This also applies to the weapons – just one attachment can sometimes make the difference between a top weapon and a “mediocre” device. This is currently especially true for the sniper rifles from Modern Warfare in Battle Royale – they now have a super attachment.
What is this super attachment? It is the extra attachment “Presence of Mind” for sniper weapons from Modern Warfare. The Warzone expert and YouTuber “JGOD” has found that this rather unpopular attachment deserves a much better reputation. The extra allows you to hold your breath longer while aiming.
However, like a bullet where you aimed a bit too high over the opponent, the attachment probably shoots a little over the target. With the attachment on your weapon, you can hold your breath for a very long time and get a sniper rifle with perfect stability. We embed the English video with JGOD’s attachment analysis here for you:
Hidden buff makes the attachment the best choice for snipers
What advantage does it give me? Without this attachment, you can hold your breath for about 4.5 seconds. We tested this feature with the new attachment and were able to hold our breath for an incredible 70 seconds straight. Even after the time was up, the breath came back quickly and could be held for over a minute again.
During this time, you have perfect values for your aim stability that determine your “Idle Sway”. “Idle Sway” causes your crosshair to move even though you are trying to keep it still. While you hold your breath, you have perfect aim stability, and if you feel like you can hold your breath forever, you no longer have to pay attention to this value in your setups.
How should I build my sniper rifle now? With the crazy super attachment, the setup variety for the sniper rifles from Modern Warfare in Warzone is slightly reduced. You should configure the strong long-range calibers SP-R 208, Kar 98k, AX-50, and HDR as follows:
- Muzzle: Monolithic Suppressor
- Provides sound suppression and range
- Barrel: Largest and longest barrel
- For more range and some recoil control
- Laser: Tactical Laser
- Gives the biggest bonus to your “Aim Down Sights Time”
- Optic: Large optic according to your preferences
- Can offer various zoom levels and/or thermal vision
- Extra: Presence of Mind
- Gives your weapon perfect stability by allowing you to hold your breath for a long time
YouTuber finds a strong change by chance
Why wasn’t this known before? According to JGOD, there must have been a buff for “Presence of Mind” in the last few months. He extensively tested the extra a while ago and could not find such significant advantages then.
Due to the large Warzone update from February 5, which adjusted at least 15 weapons, he stumbled upon the extra attachment again and discovered the strong advantages. He was actually looking to check which attachments help the most with “Idle Sway”. However, he can no longer recommend any of those now and instead advises to pack “Presence of Mind” and benefit from the perfect aim stability.
Is this intentional? JGOD is not quite sure. He tends to say that it is “broken” and thus should be considered a bug. This would mean that the error will soon be fixed.
Especially the fact that the sniper weapons from Cold War do not benefit from the bonus suggests that something may have gone wrong during the adjustments. Due to the strong bonus for the sniper rifles from CoD MW, the “Cold War” weapons will now have a hard time. The best weapons in Warzone will therefore mostly remain the firearms from Modern Warfare.
