Why The MCX’s Ammo Buff Feels SUPER Strong In Patch 12.12.30
1,980Thinking of using the MCX this wipe? In 12.12.30, the top rounds .300 Blackout AP got a big buff to penetration, which makes the MCX extremely strong against Class 5 armor - which most players are using in PvP right now. While the MCX isn’t the clear pickup at lower levels or with budget builds, when kitted out correctly it performs very nicely against well levelled players.
In this video we will look at a budget build, the min recoil build, and a variety of other “meta to semi meta” builds that can be used to make the best use of the MCX’s handling and stats.
