Season 4 of Modern Warfare III brought us the JAK Harbinger kit for the M4 and today, I wanted to dive deep into the stats of this 50 caliber conversion and share a couple of my favorite attachment setups to use with it. What are your thoughts on the JAK Harbinger in MWIII?

    UPDATE: When I first tested this last week, I wasn't seeing any boosted damage in Semi-Auto but after seeing a bunch of comments about this, I re-tested and you do get more damage in Semi-Auto mode. I'm not sure if I made a mistake in testing or if this is something they changed behind the scenes since last week. In Semi-Auto, this can one shot to the head up close and it appears to have an infinite 2 shot kill potential to the body.
  • Having a lot of fun with this, the firing sound is probably the best in the game.
  • @GhillieMaster
    I personally think this weapon should have a 1 shot headshot potential in its effective range. Its rate of fire is similar to the 2 shot Marksman Rifles that also one shot to the head, and you have access to more attachments. Edit: Plus it’s a .50 cal, it’s odd that it can’t even one shot to the head even if it’s balanced for gameplay. But a 1 shot headshot wouldn’t even be that OP on the gun imo
  • You said it had bad barrels because it is a mw2 gun. But this kit has access to 2 unique barrels. One of which helps substancially with recoil. And doesnt hurt ads as much as most other barrels.

    Hey Ace, are you gonna be covering the aftermarkte kits for the Lachmann Shroud and the Renneti?
  • @mikeybeazley3
    It’s fun to use, definitely not the best, but I like a challenge. The sound of the gun is pretty epic too! It’s pretty inconsistent but I’ve had a few scenarios where I pulled off a quad feed without reloading, very satisfying.
  • @Honeneko.
    JAK ETTIN kit on the AMR now skews the vertical pattern while in Tac Stance to match the orientation of the gun. Nothing important. Just something I noticed if anyone else is interested in that. I think it might be true for the AMP on the Holger as well.
  • @ScrubRekker666
    Overall, I find it pretty fun to use, but I think I'll stick with the TAQ-M for a guaranteed one-shot kill to the head to like 50-60m
  • @dmann5938
    Nice addition but I was waiting soooo long for this video lol
  • Despite it's somewhat dissapointing inability to one shot, I think the kit is really fun especially due to the high risk high reward factor of it. I tried it out myself after initially unlocking it and it's honestly become one of my favorite ARs in the game due to feeling different from all the other ARs and honestly battle rifles aswell. Also that firing sound of the gun is absolutely wonderful. I am very pleasantly surprised by how this kit ended up preforming. Also final bonus fun fact about it: the giant ass muzzle attachment it has on it is actually almost the exact same as the one the KATT AMR uses when you don't have any equipped to it.
  • @LD-sx9pr
    Hey Ace did you check the barrels on this gun? They have much better stats than the normal m4 with the long barrel having a nice boost to BV and recoil with a moderate ADS penalty for MWIII guns Was it because you can’t feasibly negate the ADS penalty without using lasers or hurting other stats? Because it does feel like that for the long barrel because how bad MWII stocks are
  • @ryanroper628
    Been grinding to get the kit. I feel like the 6.8 Marksman you still get the two shot killed potential, better movement and if you don't use the conversion and just tap finger the shots you can shoot pretty quick? Am I wrong about this
  • @VanilIli
    m4 kit is insane in zombies, i noticed its not the best in stats but its by far the most consistent gun I've played in tier 3, its the opposite of the current fast shooting handgun/smg meta but it has no struggles shredding down a tier 3 horde and also it shreeddddsss mega's. Very interesting gun and earned a top 3 zombies regular gun spot in my heart already. (it shoots much faster in semi auto when punched btw)
  • @The_Racr1
    I would like to point out that the harbinger kit seems to have the damage profile of a battle rifle and that the maximum damage value shown in the stats screen is actually for the semi-auto mode
  • I was actually interested in this amp cause i wanted to see if i could shotgun it with recoil control attachments but sadly Xdefiant has taken my interest of cod for the foreseeable future. Im glad it came out and not op but not caring enough to get in game to get it. Thanks Ace.
  • @djabouty47
    Does turning it into semi auto increase damage at range? It seems to affect the firerate (slows it down slightly) but from use it feels like a much more consistent 2 shot kill.
  • @ArgoG
    Do the long and short barrels do anything? I dont see any stats for them
  • @JayTheRonin
    This completely unrelated to the video but I have gotten comms banned for the 5th time and I have only talked to my friends in game due to us being on different platforms do you have any recommendations for communication. I have a feeling the strike was from zombies when I called a mega abomination fat
