Maverick

"Fully automatic. TRENSYS Hyper-Velocity Rounds provide devastating damage at close range. Moderate stability and fire rate."

- Description.

The Maverick is an assault rifle that appears in the Onslaught downloadable content pack for Call of Duty: Ghosts.

It has the potential to kill in two hits to the head and body in close quarters, much like the MSBS. However, if even one shot hits any part of the limbs, it will require three shots to kill. This makes it the only automatic weapon in Ghosts, aside from the Ameli, that can kill in two shots without headshots or the use of Deadeye. The Maverick has a slow rate of fire with moderate kick and reduced recoil for the first three shots making firing in bursts at longer ranges beneficial to staying on target. The iron sights are very clear and allow accuracy at all ranges, making the need for an optical attachment not as high as on other weapons. The Burst Fire and Semi-Automatic attachments are interesting on this weapon because of its very high damage at short range. Due to this, when using either attachment, only two shots are needed to kill at close range anywhere on the body, whereas with all other assault rifles two shot kills are only possible to the head, neck, and center mass area. Additionally, the Maverick has a 15% recoil reduction for its first 3 shots fired, which will slightly counteract the increased recoil that comes with using Burst Fire. This makes both attachments viable on the Maverick, though its slower rate of fire may be a drawback.
