The MCW 6.8 Marksman Rifle is considered “useless” in MW3, but Warzone players may want to start opting for the gun in their loadout, as it has the fastest TTK at long range.

This semi-automatic rifle can melt enemies from long distances, with a consistent TTK of 610ms up to 70 meters. Once you hit those extremely long distances, it continues to excel, as from 70m onwards it slowly rises, with a strong 703ms TTK at 100 meters.

This beats out other long-range options such as the MCW and STG44. The major downside is the fact that the weapon is semi-automatic, so you’ll need to be able to stay accurate while also having a fast trigger finger.

When using the MCW 6.8, I found myself using it in similar situations as you would the Kar98k. It’s great for dropping enemies extremely fast when they are in positions of power too, as a couple of quick headshots leave them open to being downed in just three shots with full shield.

It’s important to use the 6.8 Wrath Spire Point Rounds, as they will further increase the gun’s damage range and bullet velocity by 49%, making it an absolute beast from range.

In fact, popular CoD YouTuber WhosImmortal highlighted the MCW 6.8 in his meta TTK loadouts video on August 5, as he described it as “hitscan at infinite ranges” thanks to the Spire Point Rounds.

The content creator called the gun a “melt machine,” that can produce a fast TTK no matter the range.

You may want to pair it with a more close-range option to cover those engagements. Weapons like the Static-HV or AMR9 are great choices, especially after the latter received buffs in their Season 5 update.

You may even want to give the Reclaimer 18 Shotgun a spin after FaZe Swagg described it as “disgusting” when using the full auto mode for it.
