“Buffed” MW3 AR has crazy TTK in Season 6 but it’s overlooked

As a seasoned gamer with over a decade of Call of Duty under my belt, I can attest to the ever-changing landscape of weapons in the Warzone meta. The recent buff to the TTK (Time To Kill) of the BAL-27 in Modern Warfare 3 has caught my attention, and it’s not just because of its sleek design reminiscent of a high-tech kitchen appliance. This AR, while off-meta for some, is a hidden gem that can melt enemies with its rapid fire rate after the first four bullets.


In the thrilling world of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3, I’ve been finding the boosted Assault Rifle an absolute beast in Season 6, with its time-to-kill (TTK) being downright insane! However, it seems to be slightly veering off the mainstream meta at the moment.

Despite the excitement surrounding Call of Duty: Black Ops 6, Warzone continues to be vibrant and active. Over the past several weeks, it’s undergone some modifications in its weapons, which has stirred up the gameplay dynamics just as the next title is about to debut.

In these alterations, the DTIR 30-60 has significantly improved, now standing out as the top firearm. Meanwhile, the Static-HV, HRM-9, and Kar98k have regained their importance in the gun world too.

As a dedicated fan, I’ve noticed that while the main meta options are undeniably crucial in Black Ops 6, many players are constantly seeking innovative strategies to secure victories. Interestingly, renowned Warzone expert WhosImmortal has singled out the BAL-27 as an exceptional pick, although it may not align with some players’ typical preferences due to being slightly off-meta.

In his October 10 video, he commented, “Since they improved the control on this weapon and made it extremely user-friendly, it’s been an excellent selection. It has an incredibly effective Time to Kill (TTK), especially after the initial four bullets when the firing rate dramatically increases. With this weapon, you can easily reduce your target to nothing.

  • Muzzle: Quartermaster Suppressor
  • Barrel: Crown-H3 Barrel
  • Underbarrel: Paracord Grip
  • Ammunition: 5.7x28mm High Grain
  • Magazine: 60-round mag

Additionally, the YouTuber is fond of the “extremely neat” iron sights found on the AR. This allows for more attention to be paid to alternative accessories like the “High Impact Rounds” and the “Paracord Wrap Grip.

Instead of considering alternatives, it’s strongly suggested to utilize the Crown-H3 barrel due to its significant benefits. This barrel enhances the AR’s damage range by 20%, and also boosts bullet velocity by an additional 11%. Therefore, it might be best to stick with this barrel for optimal performance.

It’s worth mentioning that the BAL-27 is somewhat less commonly used compared to other guns in the game, as per WZRanked. In terms of popularity, it ranks 14th, slightly surpassing the also buffed BP50 and WSP-9, but not by a significant margin.
