One Call of Duty: Warzone fan holds a special place in his heart for the Oden rifle. This weapon has been in several Call of Duty games, but it is considered a lackluster weapon for Warzone due to its high recoil and questionable accuracy.
That gave one fan a strange idea. Instead of trying to build towards maximizing ADS potential and trying to achieve zero recoil, they ignored ADS completely, leading to the discovery of a strange, yet highly effective, loadout opportunity for the Oden.
There are several factors that make this class a little crazy. The Oden is not one of the best assault rifles in Warzone. Due to the unstable ADS standard on the Oden, players often find the gun unusable at mid and close-range engagements. This is mixed with the massive range on the Oden itself, as the rifle is a two-shot kill weapon on anything under 40 meters, and anything past 80 meters will be a three-shot kill, making this a deadly weapon. With the Bullet Velocity increased to 1500m/s players will be able to hit-scan at insane ranges and aim better than most snipers.
The build focuses on correcting recoil and bounce, allowing the gun to become a decent main hand. It will not laser as many other builds do, but with muscle memory, it will hit the same spot consistently once players adapt to using it. Recoil control in Warzone can make the difference between one hit or two.
The true potential comes out when players observe the gun's hip-fire capabilities. With the adjustments made in the build, players will find that the Oden has the same hip-fire accuracy as an SMG, but still maintains the range of one of Warzone's long-range assault rifles.
The other stats help increase sprint to fire as well as increasing movement speed slightly above that of the base weapon. The goal would be to hip fire at mid and close ranges, while ADSing for long-range engagements, allowing users to out-snipe sniper rifles and make SMG fans shudder.
Although this is an unconventional build, it could make the Oden a force to be reckoned with. Powerful shots mixed with recoil control make the Oden stand out in its field as the long-range AR of choice for many fans, but now it can hip fire as well as an SMG.
Call of Duty: Warzone is available on PC, PS4, and Xbox One.
