With the – Season 5 Reloaded update, a new LMG came into play – the FiNN. Can it replace the dead-generated Bruen? Today we’re going to introduce you to two setups that can give you a good shave.

The FiNN is the newest addition to the LMG class, and it’s incredibly fun. Their damage isn’t particularly flashy at first, you always need three to five hits for a kill depending on where you hit the enemy. The rate of fire is also rather slow, at least with the standard barrel… Standard barrel? Yes right, the FiNN has in addition to the normal barrels the so-called contrarian barrels, which almost double the rate of fire! The damage per bullet decreases a bit, but with a firing rate of 1017 RPM it has the highest firing rate in the game after the Fennek.

The recoil of the weapon is also quite easy to control, as it only pulls upward, not to the side. Reload time and ZV speed are also very good for an LMG. So can the FiNN replace the formerly ubiquitous Bruen MK9?

Setups
We’re going to introduce you to two setups today, one that you can have fun with in both Modern Warfare and Warzone, and one that is just super cool and unique to the game.

Warzone & Modern Warfare
The general best setup for FiNN, both Warzone and multiplayer, is as follows:

As usual, we focus here on optimizing the range and, of course, use the extremely high rate of fire:

• Muzzle: Silencer Monolith
• Barrel: XRK Long Range Contrarian
• Laser: Tactical Laser
• Underbarrel: Command foregrip
• Extra: Dexterity

As always, the Silencer is mandatory and increases your range. The Tactical Laser further reduces the time it takes to aim, and the Command Foregrip helps you control recoil. Most important, however, is the barrel, as already announced. The XRK Long Range Contrarian barrel not only increases your range and bullet velocity, but also your rate of fire, making the FiNN a true lead gun. Since the FiNN’s sights are nice and clear, you don’t necessarily need a targeting scope. We therefore advise the extra dexterity to reload faster. If you want, you can also carry a larger magazine, but the 75 rounds from the standard magazine are actually sufficient.

This setup makes the weapon very strong even at longer distances and thanks to the incredibly high rate of fire you have chances to prevail even in close combat.

Fun Setup
Let’s move on to the second, more fun setup: Who hasn’t always wanted to shoot wildly with a minigun under his arm? With the FiNN this is finally possible: it can be converted to a chainsaw with the right attachment.

This setup is designed for rather small cards, since you can only fire from the hip, but believe us it is a lot of fun:

• Muzzle: Compensator
• Barrel: XRK Pro-Twist Contrarian
• Laser: Tactical Laser
• Stock: XRK Chainsaw
• Extra: Dexterity

Since you can only fire from the hip with this setup, the attachments focus on making that as comfortable as possible. The most important things in this setup are the barrel and the stock. The barrel increases the range somewhat and gives you the tremendous rate of fire. The stock turns the LMG into the chainsaw. The laser and compensator help with accuracy from the hip and reduce dispersion respectively, which is of great importance if you can’t aim. Finally, we again recommend the extra dexterity, but if you want you can also pack a 100-round magazine.

Try it out, especially on smaller maps like Shoot House or Shipment you spray everything down with the Chainsaw. It is also surprisingly accurate at medium distances, but for everything beyond that you should rather go for the first setup.

The FiNN is definitely one of the better LMGs in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare and Warzone and is especially fun in multiplayer. However, we don’t think it can match the OP status of the Bruen before its nerfs.

CALL OF DUTY – Guide – Tips and Tricks for Beginners

Get the upper hand with these tips and tricks for Call of Duty: Warzone. Call of Duty: Warzone is the new star in the Battle Royal sky. The Free2Play game, which was only launched at the beginning of March, set an incredible player record within a very short time. If you want to join the fray yourself, you can find useful tips and tricks for getting started in our beginner’s guide.

The Battle Royale mode in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare was a long time coming. Since March 10, CoD: Warzone has finally been available, and even as a free2play variant. So it’s no wonder that the multiplayer hit pulverized the player records of Apex Legends within a very short time. This is also due to the fact that Warzone does a few things differently compared to the well-known competition. If you’re planning to throw yourself into the fray and are still looking for a tip or two, you’ll definitely find what you’re looking for in this CoD: Warzone beginner’s guide.

Tip 1: What to consider before landing

Even during the approach sequence, you can see where the first circle is placed by opening the map, while the preferred landing position can be selected by pressing a button. These valuable seconds can be used to agree on a target together with your teammates.

Tip 2: The correct use of the parachute

As in any battle royale shooter, in CoD: Warzone it is important to land as quickly as possible after the jump and to be the first to grab the best weapons or items. This is achieved by opening the parachute after the jump and cutting it directly, which significantly increases the flight speed.

You can reopen and cut the parachute as many times as you like. This is especially useful for flying to destinations far from the flight path. Bonus tip: With the parachute cut, the character pulls out the pistol, which allows firing at enemies.

Tip 3: Life energy and armor

By default, each character in Warzone starts with two armor plates, the maximum being three bars. New plates can be found on the map, and having the most impeccable armor possible significantly increases your chances of victory. All three armor slots should always be filled, if possible (indicated by the blue HUD indicator at the bottom left).

If you take damage in battle, the self-healing known from the main game takes effect – there are no medikits in Warzone. If you are hit, you should simply take cover for a few seconds to regenerate your life energy.

Tip 4: Orders are worthwhile (some at least)

There are three different types of missions on the Verdansk map, marked with yellow tablet icons. Completing the missions rewards your team with additional money and bonus weapons that provide a decisive advantage in the fight for survival.

• Bounty mission (crosshair icon): Kill a given target
• Recon mission (flag icon): Secure and hold a specific area.
• Loot mission (binocular icon): Loot three loot boxes one after the other.

The looting missions bring the biggest advantage, since the three targets are in the immediate vicinity and reward your own team with a good chunk of money as well as powerful guns.

Tip 5: Listen carefully

Connoisseurs of the Call of Duty series know anyway how important a good headset is when playing. Of course, this also applies to Warzone mode. Footsteps of enemies in the vicinity, gunfire in the distance, loot boxes in the immediate vicinity – all of this can be picked out and those who can locate and interpret these acoustic signals have an enormous advantage.

Blue loot boxes, for example, which entice you with additional money and powerful weapons, can be located by a buzzing soundthat gets louder the closer you get to the object of your desire.

But the reconnaissance missions are not to be sneezed at either: If the team succeeds in completing them, the area of the next circle is marked on the tactics map. Thus, you learn in advance which areas will provide protection from the deadly gas.

Tip 6: What it’s worth spending money on

In the course of a round, you inevitably accumulate a considerable amount of money. But what should you spend it on anyway? Money is used in the Battle Royale shooter to request killstreaks or equipment drops at the store stations marked in green, or to bring back teammates who have died.

With a bit of luck, Killstreaks can also be found in loot boxes. Picking them up and using them is absolutely always recommended, as the advantage is enormous.

The in-game money can be invested in the following advantages at the buy stations, for example:

• Additional armor plates ($ 1500)
• Shield gun ($ 2000)
• Cluster Strike ($ 3000)
• Gas Mask ($ 3000)
• Precision Air Strike ($ 3500)
• UAV Drone ($ 4000)
• Self-Resuscitation ($ 4500)
• Squad resuscitation ($ 4500)
• Ammo Box ($ 5000)
• Equipment drop ($ 6000)

The UAV drone is the most rewarding, as it briefly reveals enemy positions in the area, as well as the equipment drop – the only way to use self-made loadouts and thus fully equipped weapons in Warzone.

Tip 7: What to look for in the Gulag

Warzone features a respawn system unique to the genre in the form of the Gulag. Players who have died in Verdansk are shipped to the prison, where they fight in a 1-vs-1 against another player to get back in. Those who lose can only be resurrected by their teammates from then on.

Other players who enter the gulag initially start as spectators on the upper tiers. Teammates can give instructions about the opponent’s position here, for example, but all players have the opportunity to influence the fight that is currently taking place – by throwing stones.

Just like a stun grenade, the stone doe’s one point of damage and is more suited to distracting the players below. However, with some skill, it can also be used to make kills, for example by triggering C4.

Since the lighting in the Gulag is not very good, enemies are correspondingly difficult to spot in the semi-dark. However, there is a simple trick to change that. CoD: Warzone allows you to spray spray logos on walls and other environments – as well as enemies – at the touch of a button. This can be turned into an advantage by making your opponent shine brightly with some yellow paint.
