I haven't gotten dark matter yet, but I have gotten the HVK gold and the shotguns and LMGs Diamond. I have one very big tip for anyone on LMGs:
Gorgon goes best with Recon Sight. Whatever other attachments you choose or don't choose, always put a Recon Sight on the Gorgon unless you are doing the no attachments challenge. That attachment will turn the sway from godawful to literally impossible to notice.

Also pouring emphasis to Gorgon optics. It's probably the only time I'll ever consider one useful outside of Thermal.

Got the sheiva gold and unlikely going to be used again. Accuracy 22%... Used it in core mode... Can sort of understand what Treyarch wanted to do but does not work Just need to do long shots for the ICR-I which is another AR don't see the point in. Doing gold guns solo is fun Help How need tips on long shots and locations Suppressor lowers the range needed to longshot Not sure if this has been mentioned, but run the Varix sight on low zoom. Many more longshoots.

People keep panic firing at me What is panic firing or should I say what isn't panic firing? Shooting at someone when you have the SR-71 up? PS:Pwrslide gives you free commando pro pro pro.

Decided to get the knife out of the way.... People keep panic firing at me God this thing is terrible What setup and you running and how are you approaching this endeavor? Core kill confirmed 4 knife classes Six sense Hardwired/scavenger Awareness/dead silence With stun nades also have nice lovely ghost version. Six sense/ghost version and blind eye / cold blooded one. Was using gung ho but sound whoring just so much better... Using heat wave plus stuns trying to flank behind people to knife them instead of going front on. Issue is playing solo and finding knife to be inconsistent in range/lock on. Now on final set of challenges debating doing battle first...or trying to do battle first. People keep panic firing at me What is panic firing or should I say what isn't panic firing? Shooting at someone when you have the SR-71 up? Oh that easy.... Panic firing = get stunned start to fire randomly Starting to agree that stun nades should stun you should not be able to move or fire.

Stuns preventing you from shooting for 5 seconds would be a bit unfair but would make Tacticool mask real competition against Awareness/DS wombo combo. Be the robot for the no perk challenges.

Doing the knife challenge at the moment normally use the reaper for no perks Right now stuns look like they last for 3 seconds could have no move effect for 1 second with light simple. More think about it....more think speclists should have access to certain bits of kit only and perks. Go knife only get sound whore perks super powerful stuns Use shotguns get this perk Use ARs or good weapons you get less perks to use Update... Knife is now gold Going to take a week off CoD now frustration is over

Nearly done all my Shotguns. Just waiting for x2 XP before I diamond them. ) Haymaker bloodthirsty medals were a pain, I actually got the last 3 using the suppressor of all things!(Core FFA). Onwards to touch football for the Drakon OSK's.

Onwards to touch football for the Drakon OSK's. Suppressor works really well on the haymaker. Suppressor + Fast Mags is in one of my favorite setups.

Thermite.
It's so bad. I still need ~200 more kills with it.

Wait, 300 kills with Thermite? What the hell. Please tell me it's actually achievable in Hardcore. That sounds unbearably difficult.

I can see it feasible with pre-patch Thermite. Those were nasty on B flags.

Snipers are driving me nuts but better compared to the combat knife.
Idle sway is brutal on console with the lack of aim assist would be good if guns did less damage at range and was not lasers...

The complete removal of aim assist on snipers (Drakon and P-06 has so little that it may as well not be there) created more problems that it claimed to solve: - It made snipers no longer decent at long range and mid range. - It forced Treyarch to try and compensate for the lack of aim assist on ways that only ended up making snipers OP on PC. - Said compensations also made it easier to railgun for anyone that could still railgun in Ghosts. - It overall ruined how snipers are supposed to be better at longer ranges than shorter ranges.

Starting to think the answer should be PC and Console should have own weapon stats and balancing. Snipers on PC are good due to the map design and movement being limited. Not sure how to fix snipers but some ideas... You have to bring up the scope in order to fire, until the scope appears the sniper won't fire Add in aim assist at range and remove aim assist at range for other weapons So far I found rail gunning on console to be highly inconsistent.

Snipers definitely aren't good on PC because of the map design. Even if aim assist isn't an issue, we have to deal with an altogether different beast; even at the longest viable sniper sightline you're still in Vesper melting range. And if you get tapped once, you can forget about ever landing a shot. The P-06 is the best assault rifle in the game though.
Also, I'm really wondering why there's so much hate for the knife, because I can't imagine the consoles having it more difficult than PC on that front and from my perspective this is the best melee since MW2 commando. There are a few maps like havoc where it's not very effective but for the most part I'm having a lot of success with melee.

The easiest method to balance snipers for all platforms would be to put aim assist on snipers that is normal degrees of aim assist and works at all ranges, but doesn't kick in until you are at least fully ADS'd for at least 250ms, then just increase the recoil and/or sway on snipers, then make suppressors have an actual penalty on snipers (doesn't have to be just a straight damage penalty. Something like reduced damage past 1500 units would work great).
And the knife is great because melee now has the same kind of lunge that it had in BO1.

The conversation we had yesterday in game and in this thread is proof that this game has better gun balance than we have had in some years in COD. What may be a terrible gun for some may be a beast for others. For example, I am a middle of the pack casual player that is addicted to COD and I am not really going for any camo or specific challenges or anything (it is starting to rub off playing with you guys). The first gun I have gold? The Sheiva. Other guns I am close? KN-44 and The Feared Weevil, yes, The Beastly Weevil. I will guess I have my highest KD with The Mighty Weevil or the Dingo. Fear The Weevil scrubs.

You serve the perfect example of the one thing wrong with weapon balance. For an average player like yourself, nearly every weapon is useful. The exception (assuming you are on console) is all the snipers (except for maybe the Drakon). Average players on console have no reason to use the snipers when LMGs and ARs are a better choice for long range and everything besides shotguns are better choices for mid range. Obviously an average player should have to adjust to picking longer range engagements when using a sniper, but after that a sniper should be easy to use for most players at the engagements it's meant for.
