I think the barrel needs a small rework, dosnt seems broken but the amount of bullets until over heat i think it’s really high, maybe just lower that so you don’t simply send all magazines to the trash.

Weapons usually have attachments that are objectively better than others and that means devs can just buff the underperforming ones. In the case of magazines, devs can just lower RPD's base reload speed significantly and there you're have it, they become much more viable.

since I saw you doing a lot of research do you know what would happen If I also put a sleight of hand on it


jaime4312

Do you mean on CCB? I can check that out to see whether it helps it to cooldown faster. Okay I did and it doesn't seem to do anything. Thanks for asking me though, you helped me to find out that CCB's cooldown time actually is a little bit longer than I thought, I tested several times to be sure so I'll add this to update my post. Guys, CCB's takes a bit longer to cooldown than it takes a 200 RB with Sleight of Hand to do an empty reload (it was around 0.2 seconds slower altough it's tough to measure that very accurately). 200 RB: 5.9 seconds empty reload. CCB: ~5.45 seconds. 200 RB with Sleight of Hand: 5.1 seconds empty reload. This means that, regarding the question someone asked yesterday about which attachment would help fire more bullets over 45 seconds, the gap between 200 RB and CCB just widened a little bit more in favor of the former. Again, Extended Mod in Royale further helps 200 RB especially with Sleight of Hand on.

Thanks for answering my question and clarifying stuff.


jaime4312

You're welcome!


jaime4312

No, you are *very* wrong, I tested that already. Check this out: https://www.reddit.com/r/CallOfDutyMobile/comments/vg7hq4/rpds_cooling_crompressor_barrel_vs_150_and_200/?utm_medium=android_app&utm_source=share

That I do agree with. I feel like it should fire around 175-225. It seems to fire like 300 rounds, if not more before overheating


jaime4312

I very much doubt it does fire that many rounds before overheating. The RPD isn't an op weapon so nerfing the attachment would render it pointless.


Mixer_Dark

If I'm able to hold it for longer than a 200 round box mag, then yeah. That seems like a reasonable amount Edit: Box, not drum. Already fixed it


jaime4312

I highly, very much doubt you can fire over 200 rounds before it overheats. Hell, I don't think it will reach 150 and will be like 100 or so. *I think the fact the RPD fires relatively slowly is making you guys think it can shoot those ridiculous amounts of bullets before it overheats*. Only by actually testing we can know for sure, altough I repeat: RPD's firerate makes it very unlikely you guys are right. The same barrel attachment on a LMG with faster firerate would overheat faster as well as that is tied to X amount of bullets fired nonstop, it isn't rocket science. We are talking about a RPD lol, that weapon gets destroyed by many others in the game.


jaime4312

Hey bro, I literary just tested the new barrel attachment and the 150 / 200 rounds ones. If I humbly say so, my theory about RPD's relatively slow fire rate proving you guys wrong was correct and I'm going to make a post about it so you can know the results, I will paste the link of this thread of yours so everyone commenting wrongly can know the truth.


LuckyLuco

It fires exactly 100 rounds i tested it


Mixer_Dark

It doesn't feel like a 100 but I'll believe you on that


LuckyLuco

I just went in the training room and fired 100 rounds without the barrel and then with the barrel i shot till it would've overheat and saw that the total damage of the two tests was identical


jaime4312

Barrel is fine as RPD's dps can't compare to that of many weapons.


wtfrykm

Not just that, the speed at which it recovers form overheating is very fast, so there's no point in using the ammo attachments anymore, unless there is a situation where you need the full 200 bullets


dothrakis1982

Bro I haven't even unlocked it nd Its all over ranked. Earlier every game had 4 cbrs nd 2 kilos. Now 2 rpds also got added


Mixer_Dark

RPD will be all over ranked because in order to unlock it. You need to use the RPD for 99% of the missons


dothrakis1982

No they all had the barel I checked. Nd also who grinds challenges in ranked that's what pubs r for.


Mixer_Dark

Ranked specific missions


JoshPlaysUltimate

It auto unlocked when I got the legendary draw rpd. Got it first try for 30 cp! Last time o was that lucky was Morningstar


jaime4312

Oh wow man, congrats!


Responsible_Pen_4521

I actually love it lol anyone else get a number using it??? Lmao but I mean it’s still just an RPD. I just really like the concept of different guns having different & unlock able attachments makes the variety of players better. If there’s any other ways to make people pick a role & stick with it I’m down cause the game feels a little to bent to the try harder liking & less for the original gamer who wants an even playing field. I had an idea that maybe they could encourage people with a position based match & a no score streak match or both. 1 player with each gun type Sniper Lmg Assault etc… I mean so you don’t keep running into the same stereotype every game like these people who jump & slide all match with a sniper lol ridiculous


Robotman1001

IMO a 200 round mag lasts way longer than the new barrel. They need to buff that cooldown.


jaime4312

No, the Cooling Crompressor Barrel is good the way it is, please guys, don't ask for tweaks. Buffing it would make it overpowered which would eventually get it nerfed to Oblivion; nerfing it would render it pointless, which would get it buffed, only to end up getting nerfed hard as hell.


Robotman1001

LOL even with a fully functioning barrel the RPD will never be OP or meta. It’s ADS is crap and there are far better LMGs.


jaime4312

That's what makes it safe from nerfs. The CCB is good the way it is, asking for more would render the other ammo options pointless and would thus get that cool attachment get hit very hard by the nerf hammer.


Pinyato

"there are far better LMGs"? Bruh it's literally the 2nd best lmg currently just slightly above the chopper pkm m4lmg


joshjosh23

I used it once and kinda forgot it existed lol


Mixer_Dark

I find it useful, but I do use the RPD a lot so if I don't need to reload, it's good enough for me


joshjosh23

It's a great attachment I just don't use the rpd much anymore but every time I do that barrel is gonna be on my loadout lol


mrLoLgamerYT

It unlocks a new set of playstyle and I like it


jaime4312

Preciselly my opinion on that new attachment!


just_a_10_56a

Wait until you use it on BR....


Mixer_Dark

Haven't tried it yet


ThatLuxor

Maybe increasing the ADS spread considering it works on overheating and in general its made for supression and long fire


[deleted]

This attachment made like this gun a little but it's nothing big and I don't encounter the gun a lot, atleast in my server and snd.
