Call of Duty Mobile’s Newest Weapon is a Mixed Bag

Call of Duty Mobile is churning out new weapons every season from the start. Apart from the basic ones in the game, the ones that were season specific, mostly did not disappoint. While some were mightily broken, other performed very well in the seasons thereafter.

Nonetheless, it seems like CODM is running tight with the weapon balances. It is at a point where it cannot decide how to not break the game with a new weapon each time.

Last season saw the Fennec release. Currently, the SMG is wrecking havoc in all lobbies with its insanely fast fire rate. Add the Akimbo perk to it and you have a shredding machine. Up close, there is almost nothing that can beat the Fennec now. It feels like just two seasons ago when the Echo shotgun would pump through your body no matter what you were wielding.

While we wait for the Fennec to be nerfed, CODM has another weapon to offer. The AGR 556 is this season’s prize for the players. Is it worth it? Well, yes, and no.

First and foremost, the gun is a hybrid. Though you can locate the gun in the SMG section of the inventory, it essentially functions as an AR. In battle royale, the gun equips heavy ammo unlike other SMGs. In the attachment section, the gun has an ammunition attachment for 5.56 ammo.

Read on to find out what we think is the best range for this gun.

AGR 556 Gunsmith and 5.56 attachment details

The 5.56 attachment turns the SMG into an AR. Here’s a detailed list of the changes this attachment brings to the weapon.

The 5.56 Ammunition attachment:

•  fire rate of M4
• Hitboxes remain same
• Increases damage
• 30-Round magazine
• Decreases time to kill

With a gun like this, it can get difficult to decipher a correct playstyle for it. It is not great up close and also takes up an entire magazine in the distance. Perhaps a mid-range fight suits it best.

Recommended attachments:

• Muzzle- RTC Light Muzzle Brake
• Barrel- OWC Marksman
• Underbarrel- Ranger Foregrip
• Ammunition- 30 Round 5.56mm Mag
• Rear Grip- Stippled Grip Tape
