First time I've watched one of your videos, and I'm digging it. You do a very good job with not having a boring, monotonous voice. You make me think like a news anchor/weatherperson or a radio talk show host or something.
The SVU is really great for spamming, as Drift0r said in his SVU video. However, I absolutely destroy when I use the XPR. Just make sure to pace your shots at least somewhat, because it does have more recoil than the SVU, and the one-hit kill advantage will be pointless if you start missing all of your shots.
Man! I've been running while watching your videos driftor (Place computer in front of tredmill and run) and I'm able to watch 4-5 episodes without getting tired while running! I know it's totally irrelevent but your videos entertain me while I exercise! (Sorry for all spelling mistakes, English is not my first language and i'm still learning!)
If this has the same damage as the ballista and the same body multipliers but it shoots faster, then why use the ballista? Besides quickscoping but even then, but it's still an in proper use of a sniper. It's ironic because the ballista is the most used sniper and the xpr is the least used
While that is true, still not enough to warrant it being better than the xpr considering its not only easier to use but more practical at sniping. It's like saying the SVU is better than the xpr because it has a fast reload, ads, and such
I think the Ballista is better because you can walk and quickscoping while using the left stick, and you cant do this with the XPR, which you need to stop and quickscope, like in the MW series
Statiscally better but what do you know, people always prefered bolt-action sniper rifles claiming it takes more skill while it actually handles better and so, is easier
bravo driftor.. yet again you provide the insight we all crave.. will give this gun ago now (well after ive done the balista lol) keep up the good work.. also I hope you dont mind meborrowing the in depth part of your series as i want to do a fallout new vegas in depth (the weapons and armour and ammos basically)
Yeah one day at school mr schrooms, my science teacher wanted to do a class presentation he wanted to show all of his students how the reproductive organs works. So mr schrooms decided to pick me as his helper. He said he would cut open my testicular area and told me it wouldn't hurt one bit. I was so gullible. I still wasn't sure if I wanted to do this but then mr schrooms gave me a lollipop and I knew he wouldn't hurt me. The lollipop was so good and I slowly sucked the taste off of it to make me feel better about mr schrooms test. I ate the lollipop and decided my testicles were ready for Procedure. I gave my hairy friends, Freddy and Richard both kisses to say goodbye and accidentally got hairs in my mouth, Yuck! But mr schrooms was getting angry and I told him to calm down and we started the procedure. I took my pants down in front of my whole class and everyone laughed in my the class room, I knew I was small but not that small. Mr schrooms was outraged at this time and chopped my balls and penis clean off with one swift movement. I looked down and it looked like a blended mess, I couldn't believe my eyes! Freddy and Richard were on the floor bleeding I missed my friends already. Mr schrooms told me to sit at my seat and I did so. I love mr schrooms he's my favorite teacher.
Yeah because it's the best sniper when it comes to accuracy like focusing on specific part of the body like the head chest.why are you here if it's the noobiest gun your just a joke get lost
Because of the nice rate of fire, even when quickscoping you have an advantage, for you don't have the bolt action delay. I'd rather use XPR for quickscoping :)
In MW2 and MW3 the Barrett had the high 50cal body multipliers, so to mimic this the XPR would have to have the multipliers of the DSR not those of the Ballista
Ozymandias, it's what the Greeks called Ramesses II. The name was popularised by the character in Alan Moore's incredible graphic novel Watchmen, and the not that bad film based on it.
This is arguably the best sniper in Black Ops 2. Reason for this is that the DSR and Ballista have slow fire rates (even before the patch). The DSR may have a better one hit kill zone, and the Ballista may have faster handling speeds, but neither can easily take on multiple targets at once. The SVU can handle multiple targets, but you'll usually need two shots (rather than one with the XPR). Unless you have flawless accuracy when aiming for the head, the XPR will be your bread and butter.
You don't have to snipe until you get the gun...you can use other guns to get to the level where you unlock the XPR and then you can start using Snipers there...it's also unlocked in private mode as well as league play from the beginning.
I started off with this Sniper Rifle, I was so great with it, but when I discovered the Bolt-Action rifles, I wondered why I was so great with the XPR-50, but it just doesn't feel the same with the Bolt-Action rifles.
In my opinion i dont really like to use semi-automatic snipers but if I want to use diamond i have to complete the camo challenges. BTW great video driftor, keep it up
i played with the SVU alot, i really like the weapon for its low recoil. i dont really care about the lower rate of fire, or the clip size. and i never play hardcore. i havn't played with the xpr yet. but if u say that the xpr is better then the svu (which i really like) than i look forward 2 play with this gun.
I loved using a Barret/Deagle combo back in CoD4. It was basically completely broken and I could outgun ANYTHING. It's just a shame the MW titles afterwards made regular pistols useless.
I look forward to these vids there fun and interesting. I hardly come to even learn about the gun unless its a weapon like the an94 or the msmc, the interesting ones,
And, as I guessed and was evidently correct about, you do have until the end of time - not having friends or anything going for you really keeps your schedule open it seems
I said, "they try sniping but aren't really good at it", not "they decide to never snipe". I have played CoD for the past 4 years, I am quite aware of the community so please do not use condescension to help advance your point. What I and Drift0r are trying to say with this gun is: "it's good for beginners in order to help learn the ropes for sniping". Just because it's unlocked last doesn't mean a new player necessarily needs to play a lot to level up...considering it's fairly easy for all.
i am addicted to all the perks i use. i cannot play a game unless i have the 4 perks i always have. they are flack jacket, ghost, toughness and dexterity. when making a new class i have to build my weapon load out around these perks, unlike most who pick perks around there weapon.... the only time you will see me without these perks on is when im doing a challenge.
Hey Drift0r, could you do an in depth on the C4? I have been playing CoD since CoD4 and have always seen other people use the C4 really really well. It frustrates me that I can never seem to get the C4 to actually work for me, usually I die and fail with it. It would really benefit my game if you got some tips on how to use it and put it into a video.
I know right?! I just realized that you can put FMJ on the assault shield. It increases the damage of the bashes so that you kill them in one hit. I wonder if you can put FMJ on the ballistic knife?
Basically. It's also a blast to run around headshotting people with it due to the low sway and 1hk to the head - though that is much less practical, it's a kickass way to troll people. Still, the SVU is indeed the best sniper for spamming wildly and that's typically the most practical way to use it.
The XPR is my favorite sniper. Aiming at the chest isn't difficult, so one-hit kills aren't difficult to achieve, it fires faster than the Ballista, has a bigger clip size than the Ballista, and does as much damage as the Ballista. The DSR, on the other hand, is one of my least favorite snipers, perhaps ahead of the SVU, due to its extremely low clip size and low fire rate.
xXDEZXXx, I am totally addicted to that too! Its so annoying if I pick up a LMG without Quickdraw, cuz it takes ages to aim down those fu**in sights! BTW, heres the Class I use with XPR50: XPR-50: - Ballistic CPU - Fast Mag KAP-40: - Extended Clip Lightweight Toughness Fast Hands (Perk 2 Greed) Dexterity (Im addicted!!)
The SVU only gets one-hit kills in the head, and it gets absolutely none if it's silenced. The XPR gets one-hit kills in the chest and upper arms (as well as the head, of course). The XPR fires slightly slower, with a smaller clip size, but overall I'd say the XPR is better. If you plan on using a sniper in hardcore, however, use the SVU, as the faster fire rate and larger clip size will be more of a benefit. A sniper shot anywhere in the body is a one-hit kill in hardcore. tl;dr: XPR
I love it how every one is calling each other a 'Loser' when they are spending their time arguing back, prove you have a life by not replying to stupid comments and watch the damn video
TmarTn did a series like that for MW3, covering the lines of sight on each map. Not sure if he did it for BO2 so you might want to check his channel :)
I am very confused. You said that in hardcore mode that it is almost always a one hit kill, but when i use the SVU-AS in hardcore even shooting them in the pinky toe kills them. With no one else hitting them, when it is not a one hit kill?
If you shoot through a wall, your damage can be reduced to less than 30 damage, resulting in a two shot kill. However, that being said, this is very rare.
LAN parties for one...I do it at college all the time but not so sure if it's your thing. And what about people who are new to the Call of Duty series or just first person shooters in general and need a place to start? They buy black ops but have no clue of what to do? So they level up and they try sniping but aren't really good at it...so they use their SMGs and ARs until they unlock the XPR...and then they start using it and love it. Don't make generalizations.
My Favorite assault rifle from black ops 2
+MegaKop09 I don't
+BARREN
It's an amazing AR, and I think that the Chiqom is the best machine pistol.
+BARREN And the knife is my favorite shotgun in the game.
+Herr Coopie Chicom*
+Herr Coopie and the DSR 50 is my favorite lmg
First time I've watched one of your videos, and I'm digging it. You do a very good job with not having a boring, monotonous voice. You make me think like a news anchor/weatherperson or a radio talk show host or something.
This weapon is really underrated
It is like a semi auto ballista
totally
Sleepy Cat Even with better damage
Your recommended class for the Ballista really helped me improve my game with it! I hope this helps as usual! Thanks Drift0r!
THIS GUN WITH ACOG IS SOOOOO OP
If your a regular sniper yes, not really if your a quickscoper or a sniper spammer the acog xpr isn't for you!
I think the XPR is the best sniper in the game because it has fairly rapid fire capabilities while still retaining a very high one hit kill output.
It is the Barrett 50cal! In all ways!! well except for movement speed, but 8 bullets, the one shots, the recoil! Anyone else see this!!!!
The Barretts fire rate is much better than the XPR's, but I guess they're some what similar
Anarchy 5partan and the piston on the barrel to support recoil
The SVU is really great for spamming, as Drift0r said in his SVU video. However, I absolutely destroy when I use the XPR. Just make sure to pace your shots at least somewhat, because it does have more recoil than the SVU, and the one-hit kill advantage will be pointless if you start missing all of your shots.
I’m just came from the future There is PS4 console And Bo3 Is already a 2 year old Call Of Duty And we Still Getting DLC Weapons like the XPR-50
Just came from the future, there is a ps5 with black ops cold war, after black ops 4 had no campaign
DRIFTOR DONT STOP MAKING THESE! YOUVE IMRPOVED MY GAMEPLAY 110%!!!!
How do people think this thing sucks? It's friction awesome. Best sniper rifle other than the DSR-50.
friction
George Plithakis I just noticed that lol. Autocorrect (Aliens Guy)
Sir Isaac Newton is my favorite sniper rifle. It's so friction awesome!
You sir earned a like and a subscriber due to your professionalism and squirrel story. Keep making amazing videos please.
most underrated sniper in bo2
So painfully true
+Malte Molin malted remember me I am nirmal
+Kiran m Chh Who?
Man! I've been running while watching your videos driftor (Place computer in front of tredmill and run) and I'm able to watch 4-5 episodes without getting tired while running! I know it's totally irrelevent but your videos entertain me while I exercise!
(Sorry for all spelling mistakes, English is not my first language and i'm still learning!)

Ballista aims down sights faster and that makes it better for rushing, which is ironically not what snipers do in real life but what they do in CoD.
+Geometry Dash TheRealNillin faster in what? certainly not RoF or DPS because that's what I'm comparing it to
While that is true, still not enough to warrant it being better than the xpr considering its not only easier to use but more practical at sniping. It's like saying the SVU is better than the xpr because it has a fast reload, ads, and such
I think the Ballista is better because you can walk and quickscoping while using the left stick, and you cant do this with the XPR, which you need to stop and quickscope, like in the MW series

HE OWNS A FUCKING DOGE!!?
He owns doge!
Slappy Dapper he has two now
+Slappy Dapper Doge owns him
Thanks for the run downs on these sniper rifles. It's a big help.
I hate quickscopers
I hate campers
They are really selfish
good quickscopers no scumbags just good in sniping = i like
campers = i hate
sniper noobs talking trash about faze and stuff = i dont like
good quickscopers no scumbags just good in sniping = i like
campers = i hate
sniper noobs talking trash about faze and stuff = i dont like
not as much as I do
The XPR-50 is together with the DSR-50 one of my favourite Sniper-Rifles.
So it's a semi auto Ballista with bad quick scoping.
Yeah one day at school mr schrooms, my science teacher wanted to do a class presentation he wanted to show all of his students how the reproductive organs works. So mr schrooms decided to pick me as his helper. He said he would cut open my testicular area and told me it wouldn't hurt one bit. I was so gullible.

Omg wtf is wrong with you!?! You definitely have issues that needa be resolved..
Crystal clear clarity by LaazR
lol I'm your only like in 7 years and you have 500k subs
Best Sniper Rifle in BO2
Ikr man
Ikr its awesome!
Yes
Plasma Burns not even close
DSR and SVU had a baby 😮
haha
The xpr 50: the noob's sniper of choice
Yeah because it's the best sniper when it comes to accuracy like focusing on specific part of the body like the head chest.why are you here if it's the noobiest gun your just a joke get lost
It not a bad sniper
Noobs? So the Barret 50 cal is a noobs sniper to, right? And the XPR is a semi auto ballista, so technically, it's a better weapon.
So faze rain is a noob? Haha
*svu-as
Because of the nice rate of fire, even when quickscoping you have an advantage, for you don't have the bolt action delay. I'd rather use XPR for quickscoping :)
I don't know if it's only me but this gun was the HARDEST to get gold I have no idea why
Beacuse it has less chance to 1 shot kill it's harder to get camos not the achievements but the one shot one kills for camo
In MW2 and MW3 the Barrett had the high 50cal body multipliers, so to mimic this the XPR would have to have the multipliers of the DSR not those of the Ballista
this gun is one of my favorites . its beast with varible zoom and fmj especially hardcore
The fmj thing is a psychological boost of confidence in taking shots lol
I FLIPPING LOVE HOW HE SAYS THE SQUIRREL STUFF SO SOLEMLY
Keep going you got alot of people behind you your videos are always great keep going
No matter, the point you made was well-received and intelligent as well as humorous; all excellent qualities
Ozymandias, it's what the Greeks called Ramesses II. The name was popularised by the character in Alan Moore's incredible graphic novel Watchmen, and the not that bad film based on it.

Unless you have flawless accuracy when aiming for the head, the XPR will be your bread and butter.
hey this was a good review just started using this sniper and hot 54 kills in domination on express and your vids are cool keep it up
Love the videos, will definitely get subbed. Wanted to say, if no one has noticed, the barrel moves with each shot just like the an-94.
You sound cheerier in this video than usual. I like it.
You don't have to snipe until you get the gun...you can use other guns to get to the level where you unlock the XPR and then you can start using Snipers there...it's also unlocked in private mode as well as league play from the beginning.
I haven't tried the SVU but this xpr has been the most stressful sniper mastery yet.
Nice gameplay Drift0r especially 4:30 COLLAT
Pure lunacy, keep it coming.
I started off with this Sniper Rifle, I was so great with it, but when I discovered the Bolt-Action rifles, I wondered why I was so great with the XPR-50, but it just doesn't feel the same with the Bolt-Action rifles.
In my opinion i dont really like to use semi-automatic snipers but if I want to use diamond i have to complete the camo challenges. BTW great video driftor, keep it up
Another great video from Drift0r :D
Thank u driftor, ur videos helps me so much.
Hey that remark about the dead squirrel was funny as hell
"It's best for beginner snipers" - yes, Drift, whilst being the last sniper that's unlocked.
The multipliers. 1 hit to the torso makes a huge difference.
it would be awesome if Driftor covered maps in depth
Love the videos... Keep them coming. I watch them all!
i played with the SVU alot, i really like the weapon for its low recoil. i dont really care about the lower rate of fire, or the clip size. and i never play hardcore. i havn't played with the xpr yet. but if u say that the xpr is better then the svu (which i really like) than i look forward 2 play with this gun.
That squirrel comment that you made Drift0r was the best thing I've ever heard!!! XD
Love the XPR with ACOG!
LOL I love the tangent about the squirrel he went on
I loved using a Barret/Deagle combo back in CoD4. It was basically completely broken and I could outgun ANYTHING. It's just a shame the MW titles afterwards made regular pistols useless.
Great In Depth videos, helps alot
Greetings from France ^^
4:27 nice Driftor! Montage time!
Did you know you were playing with TH-camDude? Probably did, but I'm curious.
Love your vids man! :)
Actually, you make a good point - thanks for pointing that out respectfully and with intellect.
I look forward to these vids there fun and interesting. I hardly come to even learn about the gun unless its a weapon like the an94 or the msmc, the interesting ones,
I'm addicted to dexterity too Drift, it's ok we have a support group.
XPR 50 with zombie camo is freaking awesome looking
And, as I guessed and was evidently correct about, you do have until the end of time - not having friends or anything going for you really keeps your schedule open it seems
Great video Drift!

It's in one of the 5 default classes with Akimbo Kap40s in your back pocket.
It's not an assumption; coincidentally it's both knowledge and truth - good news since they're both so important to you
i am addicted to all the perks i use. i cannot play a game unless i have the 4 perks i always have. they are flack jacket, ghost, toughness and dexterity.
when making a new class i have to build my weapon load out around these perks, unlike most who pick perks around there weapon....

Love how nonchalant he was when talking about his dog.

i love drift0r.
My favorite Sniper Rifle!
XPR silenced will make you Sniper Jesus in Core.
Seriously, this thing is strong.
ballista isn't always 1 shot kill in core, there're areas where there's two shot kills
The XPR is my favorite sniper. Aiming at the chest isn't difficult, so one-hit kills aren't difficult to achieve, it fires faster than the Ballista, has a bigger clip size than the Ballista, and does as much damage as the Ballista. The DSR, on the other hand, is one of my least favorite snipers, perhaps ahead of the SVU, due to its extremely low clip size and low fire rate.
xXDEZXXx, I am totally addicted to that too! Its so annoying if I pick up a LMG without Quickdraw, cuz it takes ages to aim down those fu**in sights!
BTW, heres the Class I use with XPR50:
XPR-50:
- Ballistic CPU
- Fast Mag
KAP-40:
- Extended Clip
Lightweight
Toughness
Fast Hands (Perk 2 Greed)
Dexterity (Im addicted!!)
Xpr is great for QuickScoping mainly because Dsr Bolt speed was decreased
Totally opened my eyes on this gun
his dogs so adorable! thanks for the vid
I will wait until the end of time until it sets in.
You don't need headshots for camo on sniper rifles (except the SVU in Core.)
You need One Shot Kills.
What is the best sniper rifle in bo2?
I'm guessing this one
The SVU only gets one-hit kills in the head, and it gets absolutely none if it's silenced. The XPR gets one-hit kills in the chest and upper arms (as well as the head, of course). The XPR fires slightly slower, with a smaller clip size, but overall I'd say the XPR is better.
If you plan on using a sniper in hardcore, however, use the SVU, as the faster fire rate and larger clip size will be more of a benefit. A sniper shot anywhere in the body is a one-hit kill in hardcore.
tl;dr: XPR
I blame Drift0r for Woody not uploading PKA 125 yet.
I love it how every one is calling each other a 'Loser' when they are spending their time arguing back, prove you have a life by not replying to stupid comments and watch the damn video
you can use it if you use the default class, Scout
I love the Tac-45 duel wield ^^
I like to compare this to the Barrett 50 Cal. I personally enjoy Dual-band and a Ballistics CPU.
TmarTn did a series like that for MW3, covering the lines of sight on each map. Not sure if he did it for BO2 so you might want to check his channel :)
Ballista is a beast with fmj
I am very confused. You said that in hardcore mode that it is almost always a one hit kill, but when i use the SVU-AS in hardcore even shooting them in the pinky toe kills them. With no one else hitting them, when it is not a one hit kill?
If you shoot through a wall, your damage can be reduced to less than 30 damage, resulting in a two shot kill. However, that being said, this is very rare.
I can't play without Dexterity and the Quickdraw Handle i just feel unprepared without them.
Ballista is my fave sniper it's epic at quickscoping
LAN parties for one...I do it at college all the time but not so sure if it's your thing. And what about people who are new to the Call of Duty series or just first person shooters in general and need a place to start? They buy black ops but have no clue of what to do? So they level up and they try sniping but aren't really good at it...so they use their SMGs and ARs until they unlock the XPR...and then they start using it and love it. Don't make generalizations.
Now it's time to go on an adventure!
