Ghosts - Weapons List - Handguns

« Back to the Weapons List

Handguns are useful secondary weapons since they can be switched faster than any other weapon in the game. They are also very accurate at close to medium ranges with minimal recoil.
Handguns are ideal for poor close-range primary weapons like Sniper Rifles and Light Machine Guns. They are also useful when your primary weapon runs out of ammo mid-fight and you don't have time to reload.

Ghosts - Weapons List - Sniper Rifles

« Back to the Weapons List

Sniper Rifles are ultra-long-range specialists with the capability to one-shot an enemy from any distance by dealing consistent damage regardless of range. SRs are useful for removing campers at a safe distance and also countering other snipers.
They are not great weapons at close-range because their hip-fire is completely random - it's always better to swap to a Handgun.

Ghosts - Weapons List - Marksman Rifles

« Back to the Weapons List

Marksman Rifles fill the gap between Assault Rifles and Sniper Rifles. They are semi-automatic with high damage, great accuracy and good range. The stock scope can be replaced with other optics to make the weapon work better in close-range and long-range firefights.

Ghosts - Weapons List - Light Machine Guns

« Back to the Weapons List

Light Machine Guns are powerful long-range weapons with large magazines that can be used to suppress an area for extended durations. LMGs have great bullet penetration and can be used to take out enemies behind light to medium cover.
LMGs might be powerful, but they slow your movement speed, have slow ADS times and inaccurate hip-fire spread. LMG reload times are also extremely slow, but they do make up for it with their large magazine sizes.

Ghosts - Weapons List - Submachine Guns

« Back to the Weapons List

SMGs provide great mobility and must be exploited by playing aggressively - they are not meant to be used as a long range weapon or to guard an area. SMGs are the perfect weapon to flank the enemy or reaching a target quickly in objective-based game modes.
These weapons can be used reliably to score kills even when you are not Aiming Down Sights (ADS) due to them having good accuracy when fired from the hip. SMGs ADS quickly and you also stay reasonably mobile while doing so - there's usually no need to use the Stalker perk with Submachine Guns.

Ghosts - Weapons List - Assault Rifles

« Back to the Weapons List

Assault Rifles are all purpose, flexible weapons that just get the job done. They are at their best at medium ranges, but can be modified with attachments to perform better at shorter or longer distances. ARs have average mobility, ADS time and good bullet penetration.
Fully automatic ARs are effective at close to medium ranges, while burst-fire and semi-automatic are very strong from medium to long range.

Ghosts - Weapons List | Guns

Call of Duty: Ghosts features a variety of different multiplayer weapons that can be customized with different attachments.
Weapon selection is intensely personal. The way the guns are balanced within a given category, there is rarely one vastly superior weapon for an SMG or an Assault Rifle. Instead, it comes down to what you find most comfortable. Choosing the right type of weapon for the map and mode is generally more important than choosing one specific gun within a particular weapon class.
The weapons you use determine your role on the battlefield, from fast-moving SMG assault to long-range Sniper support. Mastery of all weapon types is essential to the flexible combatant. Whether the mission is urban search and destroy or open-field battle, having the skill and confidence to choose the correct weapon and utilize it effectively is a vital talent.
