As a person who grinded Damascus, I would say that the camo is definitely worth it. Because it’ll teach you patience, perseverance, and it’ll show that some weapons are better than others depending on your playstyle, whether you play MP or BR, and it’ll teach you the benefits of gunsmith of how attachments either help, harm or do nothing at all to your guns.
@@inFxmousYT I wanna try it out, I've mained the ICR for quite a bit after spending wayy too much on the wisterian visage draw so trying out new guns would be fun
As a damascus grinder before, the unlocking of damascus for all guns and melees at the end of the match was like music to my ears. The only weapon I hated grinding was the useless launcher ever made, the D13 Sector. The only launcher you won't see in battle royale, no wonder.
@@Sogmabolz The NA-45 was the first sniper I grinded to be honest as it was the most challenging as they say. After grinding the NA-45 the rest of the snipers were a breeze.
Yeah this video is so agree-able. When I first got Damascus I was still a pretty noob player. Even after getting all those long shots and head shots I still even to this day have below average aim, that's why I used to be shy when using Damascus since my teammates would either be upset that I still suck or that I bought the account, the 2nd one kinda hurt me a bit since it took me 9 months to grind it. However, sometimes there are players who just really appreciate the Damascus and Diamond camos I have (I don't have all Diamond), one time some guy asked for a private match with me just to check out the camos on my guns. There will always be times when people don't appreciate you CODM, but these experiences make it worth it in the end.
@@rayquazajumper4468 lol brother everytime you play a match you're training, especially with grinding gold cuz it literally forces you to use the gun in every possible way, it doesnt have to be all official with entering the training ground and all that, is what i meant. But what im saying is, if you do one something you enjoy for 5 years and you're not getting better, theres got to be a problem somewhere. Btw 18-25% on ar's, smg's and lmg's per match(especially in higher ranked) is actually not bad at all with how fast players move nowadays
@@rayquazajumper4468dunno why youtube deleted my reply but in the comment that no longer exists i basically said that when i said "training" i meant that when you do any 1 thing for an extended period of time i.e years you are naturally supposed to get better at it, so if someone thats played the game for 2 months has the same or better aim than you who's played for years, then theres a problem somewhere Btw 18% accuracy on full auto guns per ranked match is not bad at all, 18-25% at higher ranks is average
Here is some advice 1. Grind launchers alongside primary. 2. Get headshots with NA 45(because explosive kill does not count for longshot) 3. Play on high rise or cross fire to grind long shots 4. Finish a class before moving on to other classes(it will keep you sane and motivated) Assuming it takes about ±1 hour per gun, mean you'll get damscus in about 124 hours or 2 months( assuming play 2 hours per day) Goodluck
every time I feel like I'm close to done, a new gun drops and it's just playing catch-up while working, going back to school to land a better job and just daily living
Damascus camo has been redesigned 3 times in CoDM. I started grinding for Damascus back in 2020 when Bobby Plays started his grind. by that time only a few TH-camrs have unlocked that and I only encountered one person having Damascus camo during my time and he helped me with my FHJ18 Goliath kills. by the time I unlocked Damascus, the camo went throught its 2nd redesign (AKA the ugly one). I was so pissed that I bought the battle pass and started using the epic skins in the BP. all these didn't discourage me and I went and unlock the full Aether camo set only for them to remove Undead Siege temporarily and also redesigning the Aether camo and making it ugly. I even unlocked all diamond camos for guns until last summer when Groza got released. one thing you gotta understand is that CoDM is the game of disappointments so just be happy with what you have and don't take anything for granted in that game.
When i saw the Damascus i said " damn that looks good" and then said " i want to unlock every attachment in the game. And then started the grind 2 months ago, and now i just want to unlock 27 assault rifles and just flex the in front of my friends. That's why i started grinding this camo wish me luck for the rest.
Started back in May this year since I haven't played the game in 4 years but I have like 16 more guns to go. Personally, it still seems worth it since it gives me a reason to play.
I'm a little bit deep into the grind I have marksman rifles to platinum and pistols to platinum. I'm tryna work on assault rifles next but there's so many weapons. I was able to do the d13 sector and the na45 because I knew those were going to be a pain In the ass so I just said screw it n did those. I have some melee weapons gold because I keep a melee weapon on me anyways when playing shipment. But I'm having fun with it so far obviously I gotta take some breaks to keep my sanity with the amount of camos n weapons there is in the game. But so far I'd saying it's going pretty good for me.
For the NA45, wait until hardcore modes are available. Its a one shot at all ranges and body parts. But don't use it as a regular snipr as you only have 2 in the charger.
Idk why people think na45 is the hardest one or something, i mean just to go to frontline crossfire and crouch and hit longshots and headshots and at the same time like it was the easiest one for me.
I use(d) kill confirmed on high-rise for my snipers, marksman and shotgun long shots (or any long shots for that matter), you often get bot lobbies and you can either do cross map or from helipad->spawn for long shots. Makes it very easy
As someone who grinded to Damascus in 2020 it is insane, but its a genuine tough time, i wanted to quit, but i did it and went for some diamond guns, then went to a different cod and gotten two different mastery camos, its tough but worth it
I started Damascus a month ago, and I'll say that nothing, absolutely nothing is worse to grind than the launchers, OMG that was literally TORTURE, i literally was in tear. But i did it, and if i can do it, u can too.
Before my cod account got hacked and deleted I had damacus and it was hell. The only reason i finished it so fast is because i had my clan mates who helped me with the thumper and the d13. The camo is worth it if you wanna look cool without having legendaries but it takes alot of willpower and discipline
My fiance and I both play so we went into free for all apocalypse, figured out the range for a long shot on the shorty, then use a sniper to hit mark her on the foot then shorty for a long shot headshot combo, got it done in 3-4 matches, na-45 same thing, we helped each other with a ton of camos and that’s the main reason I have Damascus today
I am only seeing this video halfway through my Damascus grind. Ain't no stopping now. I can't afford mythicd or other paid stuff. The grind is what's keeping me on the game. Thank God I finished all melee in one day.
@@GenjutsuCODM but i kinda cheated on that i played free for all with my friend who was using flap jacket he would grenade himself then i kill him from long range
for me as a damascus grinder and even on wzm i'm really close to interstellar i can say in codm its too late to start from 0 or below 10 golds now, because there ares a too much weapons and grinding all of those weapons will drive you insane because as he said longshots for the shorty after the nerf is actually painful but i'll give you this tip, use like a m21 ebr and leave the enemie oneshot and finish him with the shorty this will help you a lot and maps recommendations are rust or shipment for getting a lot of kills, highrise for every longshot weapons is the best map and if you are low on weapons cards you can play kill confirmed and for other tips you can ask me because i've grinded a lot and i know some helpful tips
I'm a Damascus grinder as well but i just like to grind of the skin, when i was grinding for Damascus i actually meet a player (on the enemy side which i play 4 times against) who also grinding for Damascus he had the launchers damascus grind left to go, he message through chat that if i can deploy any score streaks and i did (mostly did sentry guns, stealth choppers and uavs) and after 4 matches he invited me to his lobby just to thank me for helping him grind for damascus because he was grinding for damascus for a long time and couldn't thank me enough for it. after that it took me over 6 month to finish the grind and will so for future guns.
Bro something like this happened to me once, I noticed a player was grinding crossbow headshots, so I used to intentionally go meet him so he could shoot me😂
@@GenjutsuCODM 🤣that happened to me as well when first meet the guy only after i started the score streak parade him stop and went for the score streaks instead which lead to the story 😁
The Damascus grind wasn’t terrible for me. Ofc some guns were harder than others but I didn’t obsess over it. It did take several months to finish grinding though. I do get a weird feeling about using guns that I have unlocked every grindable camo on. Telling myself I should be using a different gun to get diamond. I don’t regret it but I also started the grind when there were less weapons.
This is probably the best video on Damascus. It's pretty much zero reward for a LOT of effort. But at the same time.. I genuinely enjoyed it at the end of the day. I working on diamond. But I have Damascus and aether and yeah... I recommend getting aether for the weapons you want and get diamond for what you want. Damascus isn't worth the grind if you start right now. So focus on the easier stuff.
For long shot shorty i use sks as primary on hardpoint rust. 1 tap on upper body and switch to shorty to finish it. For launchers i got lucky because there's a special 10v10 shipment 1944
Funnily enough, by the time of this video, I already got gold on the Shorty and Na-45, and I'd say grinding golds for Launchers are worse (especially SMRS) Shorty long shots: max range and ads bullet spread attachments, damage enemy first with primary then use Shorty to finish kill long range Na-45: get used to getting headshots, will allow you to oneshot the enemy
Long shots with the shorty are so easy as long as you fire your first shot with the sks, any build, and hit the next with your shorty, I recommend owc laser instead of the stock
My tip would be to not leave the hardest guns for last, if you do the hard ones first rest should be easy sailing. ..and yeah, hardpoint shipment is your best friend.
Honestly i started grinding for it, but after i finished the LMG's (which aren't that much of a struggle anyways compared to some other guns like the one's you just mentioned, i already lost motivation after this cathegory alone.
I got damascus and it took a while but I don't like it! I'm just hoping they update it to look more like MW2019 Damascus with shades of black and encompasses the whole gun including the iron sights!
grinded damascus aswell. was such a grind. wouldnt do it again, bc i only play krm like fr only krm. so for me wouldnt be worth it. there are definetly some weapons or blueprints who look so good with damascus. but not really worth the grind, especially if you dont have much time to play
i took a break from the game in the second anniversary(i had been playin it since its release day), i was trying to grind for damascus camo that time, there was not many guns, so it was easier that these days which have too many guns. i started the game again in the mid-summer for fun but i started to grind some guns for gold and then maybe damascus... then i just realized that activision has added 25~ guns into their game... it will be so hard but i hope some day i will achieve damascus...
grinded this camo at the time of my highschool finals, in India we get 5-6 days of leave before every exam as it is a very important exam so i grinded a lot, this camo would be worth the grind if the animated it it would look soo cool
Doesn’t matter how cracked someone can be, if teammates aren’t good enough a loss is guaranteed. Apart from that for me it’s not worth it getting Damascus when I have mythic guns with seasons camos that look good or better…
I haven't started the grind for Damascus but I'll tell you I agree there are some weapons in the game that definitely will test you and be miserable. Long shots on the shorty, D 13 are definitely up there. Honestly I grinded platinum for snipers and while by no means is the NA 45 an easy weapon it is certainly easier than the above 2 mentioned. Like I said I have platinum for the sniper category so NA 45 isn't impossible.
I've unlocked Damascus, I even recorded the last match. An then I felt complete, ready for the new weapon. But I didn't do cammos. Neither the next one. So I shifted to get master rank and diamond for weapons. But I don't enjoy the gun anymore. I don't care about "Is good? Is bad". All I care about is 10 kills, change gun. Playing doesn't feels wrong, feels empty. Empty of all the joy of using a gun
can we make a petition to make codm change it to where u if u get 20kills on one gun it counts as 2 matches done for diamond like og and we only need base game guns done for damascus bc there is just way to many guns like im a good player and i like the game but there is just to many guns
Grinding damascus made me better at aiming. After I got it I started making the best gunsmiths for every gun, I felt like a researcher lol. Now i offer gunsmiths to my friends. Then I started making a troll gunsmith for everything and embarassing people in duels and snd. Now i just change guns every 2-3 snd game and enjoy winning when the other team tryhards
In My humble opinión as a ranked grinder.....i don't Buy any skins or grind diamond cammos, i just use the meta weapon without having to feel Bad about not using the skins that i paíd For....and i have the mythic ffar....but i don't use it....
Lunchers is all i needed to get Damascus im already six feet in the ground grinding Damascus i literally uninstall codm because of shorty in 2022 and now im back grinding it again in 2024
I have the opposite problem, it takes me a week to get 1 singular gold because i can't focus on anything but ranked, even though im already legendary. the same can be said for lb players. many people think the no.1 player in the world will be so cracked, he is but no. 4500 might be better, but just plays less
I'm og player and got it when it was released, kept playing until getting serious issues from my sides and had to quit around mid 2022 till late 2023, now there's tons of more weapons and I'm still using the same old device so nah I don't really try too hard since the current meta is too fast for my device already to try and use off meta weapons lmao, I really wish I could have gotten back a couple seasons earlier and gotten the magma seasonal camo 😢
Not going for Damascus (yet). Trying to Master all ARs is my current goal. Already finished up the AK117, AK-47, Type 19, and M4. Currently on the Grau then I’ll do the BP50. Not sure what to do after that. I mainly play BR so it will be difficult with guns like the HBRa-3 that aren’t really that good.
I started a month ago and I'm 40 guns in (83 to go lol), not because I like the camo but I'm interested in the journey towards it. I figured it'd be the best way to explore all the weapons in the game. This video does a really good job explaining the reality encountered after the grind. However, my overall goal in the game is to become a consistent leaderboard player, which will sirely be grinded for after I get damy (damascus).
@GenjutsuCODM I finally got my damascus today. It was a really long process and frustrating most of the time due to teammates spamming scorestreaks and ending the game too quickly.
I started the grind back in 2020 got platinum on ARS and smgs and pistols gave up when they kept adding guns i dont think Damascus is worth the grind camo just doesn't stand out to me anymore
@@GenjutsuCODM I could barely get it for other snipers because of my potato phone, now you're telling me that I should do it with this shit? the long shots won't work unless I get a headshot! that's so annoying man
@JustDontKnowYou that's where my problem comes, I'd rather grind the D-13 sector than grind the NA-45, at leat I don't need to hit a headshot to get a long distance kill
I have Damascus Camo, it's take a lot a time to grind but it worth for me. After that in every new season i just grind gold for the new weapon that came out and then i have full damascus for all weapons. I only have 3 Diamons camo because this grind is too long and boring for me and after Damascus i don't want to loose many more time in camos 😄
NA45 was my first gold and first diamond camo. And the rest is basic 😅 the feeling of unlocking the gold camo of na45 is like received a "Yes" on a proposal
I started grinding in 2019 already when you had to hip fire with snipers and marksmen,it took me 2 years to grind fhj because 1 of it was to destroy Goliath,don't get me started on that shorty that I'm still struggling with,and that crossbow, I don't have strength for the na45,,, I'm still very far from demascus,,,melee,lmg,smg done,,, melee don't count 😅😅😅, got like 30 diamond s,,, I'm like 75% done 2019 till now 😅😅😅
one tip when grinding damascus, use low level low rank emulator friend for easy rust domination bot lobby, and yes, grinding diamond D13 is a pain in the ass
Honestly, can't agree. I see my Damascus and I feel good. I feel like the king of the world, even after more than a year later. But there is a difference: I never wanted to be a pro. I'm average, I have bad aim and I don't master any weapon; I reach legendary and just keep playing like nothing has changed untilI I reach 15k. I only have 4 diamonds and 1 is a knife. But I have 1 thing to say: after getting Damascus I didn't get better at the game, I didn't learn anything crazy or became an expert, but what I already knew got easier; it became a routine, everything, so I became a natural at basic movement and game knowledge and with every weapon in the game, that's how I can still be competent in the new seasons without using the BP50, MoW, HVK or DRH. So, while I'm waiting for the match to start, I inspect my weapon, see the Damascus and get the confidence boost: "I got this. Let's go have some fun".
Well i grind damascus because im boring so i start grind the camo and it feels challenging for me. But when i completed it all, now im boring again like "so now what?" Grind diamond take a lots of time
As a person who grinded Damascus, I would say that the camo is definitely worth it. Because it’ll teach you patience, perseverance, and it’ll show that some weapons are better than others depending on your playstyle, whether you play MP or BR, and it’ll teach you the benefits of gunsmith of how attachments either help, harm or do nothing at all to your guns.

pros of damascus:
clout
acceptance
happiness (the grind ended)
cons of damascus:

no maidens
no shower
I see no cons here

Na-45: get used to getting headshots, will allow you to oneshot the enemy
Long shots with the shorty are so easy as long as you fire your first shot with the sks, any build, and hit the next with your shorty, I recommend owc laser instead of the stock
Wow thats a idea i never thought of... i want platinum pistols to use a platinum deagle. Definitely gonna use that thanks
Bro like grinding the gold for d13 sector has been the hardest for me and i haven't completed even half of all the golds 💀
My tip would be to not leave the hardest guns for last, if you do the hard ones first rest should be easy sailing.
..and yeah, hardpoint shipment is your best friend.
Honestly i started grinding for it, but after i finished the LMG's (which aren't that much of a struggle anyways compared to some other guns like the one's you just mentioned, i already lost motivation after this cathegory alone.
It's just not worth.
I got damascus and it took a while but I don't like it! I'm just hoping they update it to look more like MW2019 Damascus with shades of black and encompasses the whole gun including the iron sights!
I unlock all gold an platinum but no Demarcus why is that?
All primary and secondary weapons?
grinded damascus aswell. was such a grind. wouldnt do it again, bc i only play krm like fr only krm. so for me wouldnt be worth it. there are definetly some weapons or blueprints who look so good with damascus. but not really worth the grind, especially if you dont have much time to play
as a person who has this camo i 100% agree with you
i grinded na 45 gold camo in 2-3 hrs. Am done with primary weapons, going to secondary weapons now
i took a break from the game in the second anniversary(i had been playin it since its release day), i was trying to grind for damascus camo that time, there was not many guns, so it was easier that these days which have too many guns. i started the game again in the mid-summer for fun but i started to grind some guns for gold and then maybe damascus... then i just realized that activision has added 25~ guns into their game... it will be so hard but i hope some day i will achieve damascus...
This guys is speaking the truth I em embarking the platinum grind because I like it more but the Aether crystal is the worst to grind
4 days for ars and next days guns came kinda easily (back in 2020 when peacekeeper came out)
grinded this camo at the time of my highschool finals, in India we get 5-6 days of leave before every exam as it is a very important exam so i grinded a lot, this camo would be worth the grind if the animated it it would look soo cool
woooow, you are soooo cool. Bet that damascus guy was really jealous, as clearly he was thinking „i am the best beacause i have damascus“ 🙃
@@dr.heinzdoofenshmirtz2695 wdym bro
Doesn’t matter how cracked someone can be, if teammates aren’t good enough a loss is guaranteed. Apart from that for me it’s not worth it getting Damascus when I have mythic guns with seasons camos that look good or better…
Why can't I get the skin even though I have every primary and secondary gold? Do i also need base knife to be gold? But how?
I haven't started the grind for Damascus but I'll tell you I agree there are some weapons in the game that definitely will test you and be miserable. Long shots on the shorty, D 13 are definitely up there. Honestly I grinded platinum for snipers and while by no means is the NA 45 an easy weapon it is certainly easier than the above 2 mentioned. Like I said I have platinum for the sniper category so NA 45 isn't impossible.
I've unlocked Damascus, I even recorded the last match. An then I felt complete, ready for the new weapon. But I didn't do cammos. Neither the next one. So I shifted to get master rank and diamond for weapons. But I don't enjoy the gun anymore. I don't care about "Is good? Is bad". All I care about is 10 kills, change gun. Playing doesn't feels wrong, feels empty. Empty of all the joy of using a gun
can we make a petition to make codm change it to where u if u get 20kills on one gun it counts as 2 matches done for diamond like og and we only need base game guns done for damascus bc there is just way to many guns like im a good player and i like the game but there is just to many guns
Grinding damascus made me better at aiming. After I got it I started making the best gunsmiths for every gun, I felt like a researcher lol. Now i offer gunsmiths to my friends. Then I started making a troll gunsmith for everything and embarassing people in duels and snd. Now i just change guns every 2-3 snd game and enjoy winning when the other team tryhards
In My humble opinión as a ranked grinder.....i don't Buy any skins or grind diamond cammos, i just use the meta weapon without having to feel Bad about not using the skins that i paíd For....and i have the mythic ffar....but i don't use it....
I unlocked na45 gold camo in just 2 hours
Watching this with all diamond and aether camos unlocked...
Lunchers is all i needed to get Damascus im already six feet in the ground grinding Damascus i literally uninstall codm because of shorty in 2022 and now im back grinding it again in 2024
i wanted that damascus so bad ist been a year now im stuck on shorty na45 d13 sector 😪😪😪
I have the opposite problem, it takes me a week to get 1 singular gold because i can't focus on anything but ranked, even though im already legendary.
the same can be said for lb players. many people think the no.1 player in the world will be so cracked, he is but no. 4500 might be better, but just plays less
I'm og player and got it when it was released, kept playing until getting serious issues from my sides and had to quit around mid 2022 till late 2023, now there's tons of more weapons and I'm still using the same old device so nah I don't really try too hard since the current meta is too fast for my device already to try and use off meta weapons lmao, I really wish I could have gotten back a couple seasons earlier and gotten the magma seasonal camo 😢
Not going for Damascus (yet). Trying to Master all ARs is my current goal. Already finished up the AK117, AK-47, Type 19, and M4. Currently on the Grau then I’ll do the BP50. Not sure what to do after that. I mainly play BR so it will be difficult with guns like the HBRa-3 that aren’t really that good.
I think Damascus is best done casually. 1 gold gun a day or so. Don’t need to burn yourself out for it.
I started a month ago and I'm 40 guns in (83 to go lol), not because I like the camo but I'm interested in the journey towards it. I figured it'd be the best way to explore all the weapons in the game. This video does a really good job explaining the reality encountered after the grind. However, my overall goal in the game is to become a consistent leaderboard player, which will sirely be grinded for after I get damy (damascus).
Thanks! Hope you finish your Damascus grind soon!
@GenjutsuCODM I finally got my damascus today. It was a really long process and frustrating most of the time due to teammates spamming scorestreaks and ending the game too quickly.
I started the grind back in 2020 got platinum on ARS and smgs and pistols gave up when they kept adding guns i dont think Damascus is worth the grind camo just doesn't stand out to me anymore
I was just left of the gold camo of as val my ac got hacked
A grinded gold for all primary weapons, except...you know... the damn NA-45. I just gave up.
Whyyyy😭
@@GenjutsuCODM I could barely get it for other snipers because of my potato phone, now you're telling me that I should do it with this shit? the long shots won't work unless I get a headshot! that's so annoying man
@JustDontKnowYou that's where my problem comes, I'd rather grind the D-13 sector than grind the NA-45, at leat I don't need to hit a headshot to get a long distance kill
For shorty,unm need to go on hardpoint fitingrange
Unless you have already gotten them damascus until the next battlepass and new guns come out
lowkey i just wanna grind for the damascus camo cause lowkey i’m bored
I only grind locus diamond that too when it was 50% done by just playing ranked and pubs 😂 even qq9 dlq
I have Damascus Camo, it's take a lot a time to grind but it worth for me. After that in every new season i just grind gold for the new weapon that came out and then i have full damascus for all weapons. I only have 3 Diamons camo because this grind is too long and boring for me and after Damascus i don't want to loose many more time in camos 😄
I should grind when it was released but not enough exp card
Im planning to go for the silver, is thwt harder?
Not really, gold for a whole category unlocks platinum for that category
@@GenjutsuCODM so only the ARs for platinum for the ICR-1 for example?
it took me a whole year to get this camo😭
Fr had to drop a like
A like a day keeps the bad vibes away! Thanks for dropping one!
don’t u only have to classic weapons to get damascus?
NA45 was my first gold and first diamond camo. And the rest is basic 😅 the feeling of unlocking the gold camo of na45 is like received a "Yes" on a proposal
Bruh indeed I approve of this message. love the vid
Thanks
I agree I grinded this twice on two seperate accounts lol (It's not worth it)
Pov me after I just finished grinding and i see thus video
I started grinding in 2019 already when you had to hip fire with snipers and marksmen,it took me 2 years to grind fhj because 1 of it was to destroy Goliath,don't get me started on that shorty that I'm still struggling with,and that crossbow, I don't have strength for the na45,,, I'm still very far from demascus,,,melee,lmg,smg done,,, melee don't count 😅😅😅, got like 30 diamond s,,, I'm like 75% done 2019 till now 😅😅😅
Its good i grinded for them early last year but that's the only reason i come hack to codm just to geind the new camo and leave again.
Im a sniper main so i grinded gold for all Snipers and Marksmans for Platinum...NA45 made me go mad😭😂
one tip when grinding damascus, use low level low rank emulator friend for easy rust domination bot lobby, and yes, grinding diamond D13 is a pain in the ass
Totally forgot bout the d-13🤧
NA45 was the easiest, I too thought it will be tough, but it was easy, Shorty was a bit pain in the ass, yet I managed to get it easily
2:56 took me 3 days to finish long shot
Honestly, can't agree. I see my Damascus and I feel good. I feel like the king of the world, even after more than a year later. But there is a difference: I never wanted to be a pro.
I'm average, I have bad aim and I don't master any weapon; I reach legendary and just keep playing like nothing has changed untilI I reach 15k. I only have 4 diamonds and 1 is a knife.
But I have 1 thing to say: after getting Damascus I didn't get better at the game, I didn't learn anything crazy or became an expert, but what I already knew got easier; it became a routine, everything, so I became a natural at basic movement and game knowledge and with every weapon in the game, that's how I can still be competent in the new seasons without using the BP50, MoW, HVK or DRH.
So, while I'm waiting for the match to start, I inspect my weapon, see the Damascus and get the confidence boost: "I got this. Let's go have some fun".
Oh and btw, I didn't search bot lobbies and half of them I got in ranked.
" I inspect my weapon, see the Damascus and get the confidence boost: "I got this. Let's go have some fun"
Great words fr
The NA grind had me questioning life fr
I want silver for assualts and maybe smg, but I'm not grinding per se just having fun

@@GenjutsuCODM i have
👍
they needa change the way diamond camo gribd works … it’s too basic while still being time consuming
You know what he right . Damascus sucked and the grind wasn't worth it . Especially now that we only get one weapon per season
i already had it 2021 grinder here
Well i grind damascus because im boring so i start grind the camo and it feels challenging for me. But when i completed it all, now im boring again like "so now what?" Grind diamond take a lots of time
you mean you are bored, right? Stating „i am boring“ is a funny thing as a selfstatement 😂
@@dr.heinzdoofenshmirtz2695 oh yeah, right. Sorry about that 😅
@@stanlyjl6744 youre fine! But i bet you are an interesting, nice person and not boring :)
