Top 10 most overpowered Call of Duty weapons of all time Dexerto\/ActivisionThe Call of Duty series has had some truly memorable weapons over the years, some for good reasons and some for bad. Here, we choose the 10 most overpowered CoD weapons of all time. Any long time Call of Duty fan will know that the series has had more than its fair share of insanely strong weapons. While strong weapons are unanimously favored, these 10 transcended the term \u2018strong\u2019 and morphed into overpowered. These are weapons that can easily be classed as broken because of how strong they became. They may have been fun to use, but they were undoubtedly infuriating to die to. Needless to say that this list is subjective, so you might disagree. We\u2019ll count down from 10 to 1 and then finish with some honorable mentions for guns that were crazy, but couldn\u2019t quite break the top 10. 10. Bal-27 \u2013 Advanced Warfare The Bal itself was seriously powerful in Advanced Warfare, but one variant, in particular, stands out from the rest \u2013 the Obsidian Steed. Minimal recoil, a high fire rate, and top tier damage meant this AR dominated all forms of Advanced Warfare. Weapon balancing was not one of the stronger aspects of Sledgehammer\u2019s first CoD title. 9. Famas \u2013 Black Ops Black Ops\u2019 Famas ditched the Modern Warfare 2 burst fire mechanism in favor of a fully automatic weapon. The result was a seriously strong AR, in a game full of viable ARs. Clean iron sights and high damage saw this gun outperform every other weapon in the inaugural Black Ops game. 8. 725 \u2013 Modern Warfare Anyone who played 2019\u2019s Modern Warfare in its first few months will know of the 725 shotgun. Its one-hit capabilities were, quite simply, ridiculous. Even without the Slug Rounds, this gun could one hit an enemy from hip-fire at SMG range. If you haven\u2019t been sniped across Shoothouse with the 725, consider yourself lucky that it\u2019s now at a much more reasonable level. 7. Marshal 16 \u2013 Black Ops III The Marshal 16 was added as a DLC pocket shotgun, late into Black Ops III\u2019s life cycle. It was supposed to a reworked version of the Black Ops II Executioner, that many will remember as completely useless. Unfortunately, Treyarch went too far the other way, and made the Marshal 16 far too strong. A one-hit kill at ludicrous ranges, it quickly became the strongest shotgun in the game in spite of its classification as a secondary. What made it even worse, was the ability to run the weapon Dual Wield. We all had a promising streak ruined by these. 6. Vector CRB \u2013 Ghosts Any avid player of Ghosts will remember the buff and nerfs given to the Vector CRB. Infinity Ward struggled to balance it, and it grew to be one of the best weapons in the game for the majority of its life cycle. It was brought back in 2019\u2019s Modern Warfare as the Fennec which, thankfully, is significantly weaker. 5. 205 Brecci \u2013 Black Ops III Players are still frustrated with Treyarch over the lack of a Brecci nerf at any point in Black Ops III. The semi-automatic shotgun was a consistent two-hit kill, regardless of hip-firing or ADS. It also caused an unholy amount of flinch for any player on the receiving end, meaning accurate return fire was nigh on impossible. 4. M16A4 \u2013 Modern Warfare (2007) An overpowered burst fire weapon is pretty rare in any CoD game. The original M16A4, however, is the exception. Brought back in Modern Warfare Remastered, the three-round burst weapon was incredibly powerful. Zero recoil and incredible range make this one of the most powerful assault rifles in CoD history. Moreover, it never received a nerf in Modern Warfare and long dominated the game, as well as the 2016 Remaster. 3. MP40 \u2013 World at War Another gun from an older CoD title, World at War\u2019s MP40 stood out as the game\u2019s strongest weapon by a significant margin. Its larger magazine, paired with strong damage and iron sights, meant you couldn\u2019t go a game in this WW2 shooter without being destroyed by the infamous german SMG. It has returned in a host of other games, thankfully never as strong as its WaW version. 2. Grenade Launchers \u2013 Modern Warfare 2 In our number two spot, we\u2019ve gone for Grenade Launchers from Modern Warfare 2. It\u2019s fairly vague, but anyone who played the 2009 title will know exactly what we\u2019re talking about. \u2018Noob tubes\u2019 pretty much guaranteed a kill off spawn for the user, requiring next to no accuracy or talent. Pair this with One Man Army Pro and it\u2019s no mystery why they were so common \u2013 and frustrating. 1. Akimbo Model 1887s \u2013 Modern Warfare 2 Our number one slot goes to the Akimbo Model 1887s from Modern Warfare 2. What else could have claimed the gold medal? MW2\u2019s lack of balancing is one thing that made it a crazy title. The Model 1887s however, took it too far. If one wasn\u2019t bad enough, they could be run akimbo and basically guaranteed a one-hit kill. Even if they didn\u2019t manage it, their rapid reload and ridiculous range was near unstoppable. Thankfully, they received a major nerf some way into MW2, but they remain the most ridiculous, overpowered weapon in CoD history. Honorable Mentions We\u2019re rounding off our list with some honorable mentions. These are weapons that were certainly overpowered, but didn\u2019t quite make the cut into the top 10. There\u2019s a couple from Infinite Warfare, as well as a few more from Modern Warfare 2. Proteus \u2013 Infinite Warfare – OSA \u2013 Infinite Warfare – Vesper \u2013 Black Ops III – Maddox RFB \u2013 Black Ops 4 – UMP45 \u2013 Modern Warfare 2 – ACR \u2013 Modern Warfare 2 – SPAS-12 \u2013 Modern Warfare 2 – MP7 \u2013 Modern Warfare 3 – Which weapon did we miss? What\u2019s the most overpowered weapon in CoD history in your opinion? Be sure to tweet us @DexertoIntel to let us know!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
