The M14 EBR (also referred to as the M21 EBR) is a semi-automatic rifle appearing as a sniper rifle in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2, Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3, Call of Duty Online, Call of Duty: Mobile and Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 Campaign Remastered, and as a marksman rifle in Call of Duty: Ghosts, Call of Duty: Modern Warfare, Call of Duty: Modern Warfare II and Call of Duty: Modern Warfare III.
Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2[]
Campaign[]
It is seen multiple times in the campaign in "S.S.D.D.", "Wolverines!", "The Only Easy Day... Was Yesterday" during the ending stage of the mission, "The Gulag", "Contingency", "The Enemy of My Enemy", "Of Their Own Accord", and "Museum". Soap is also seen using it on "Cliffhanger" to give Roach support when he is infiltrating the base. It can also be seen on the hands on Archer and Toad in "Loose Ends".
Multiplayer[]
The M14 EBR is labeled as the M21 EBR and is unlocked at level 56.
The M21 EBR deals seventy damage per shot at all ranges. If the player is using Stopping Power, the M21 EBR will deal 98 damage at all range. If the player is using the Silencer without Stopping Power, the M21 EBR will deal fifty damage at all ranges, and will not be able to get one shot kills in Core game types on healthy opponents. Using both the Silencer and Stopping Power on the M21 EBR will return the weapon to its base seventy damage. The M21 EBR deals 50% more damage on a headshot, and the M21 EBR deals 10% additional damage on shots to the neck and upper torso. This will allow the M21 EBR to get one shot kills to the head, but one shot kills to the neck and upper chest will require Stopping Power. The M21 EBR has high penetration power.
The M21 EBR fire semi-automatically, and has no firecap, allowing the user to fire the weapon at a maximum of 1200 RPM. This can allow a user to empty the magazine in less than one second.
The M21 EBR has recoil values of 40 to the left, 45 to the right, 50 upwards, and 30 downwards. The M21 EBR has a centerspeed value of 750. The M21 EBR has the default amount of sniper rifle idle sway.
The M21 EBR allows users to move at 100% of the base movement speed, or strafe at 40% of the base movement speed. The M21 EBR allows users to aim down the sights in 400 milliseconds, and the hip-fire accuracy is awful. The M21 EBR's reload animation is 2.67 seconds long, or 3.5 seconds long on an empty magazine. In either case, the user can Reload Cancel the M21 EBR after 1.9 seconds.
The M21 EBR has a magazine capacity of ten rounds, and has a starting ammo loadout of thirty rounds.
The M21 EBR has the standard assortment of sniper rifle attachments available to it. All attachments work as expected on the M21 EBR.
Special Ops[]
The M14 EBR appears in the Special Ops missions "Evasion", where it is a starting weapon equipped with a Silencer, "Suspension", where it is in the initial area, "Body Count" and "Homeland Security", where it is in the initial area, in Joe's Diner, and on the roof of Nate's Restaurant equipped with a Thermal Scope, and "Acceptable Losses", where it is in the initial area equipped with a silencer.
An unscoped M14 EBR with iron sights is available in the mission "Breach & Clear". This is the only time in the game where this weapon can be used without a scope. Although it is unscoped, it retains a relatively large amount of idle sway. The iron sights have the same amount of zoom as an ACOG Scope. The recoil is purely visual, having no effect on the accuracy.

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3[]
Campaign[]
The M14 EBR makes an appearance in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3; it is available in three campaign missions. In "Back on the Grid", Yuri uses a silenced M14 EBR with Variable Zoom. In "Goalpost", four M14 EBRs with a sniper scope and can be found and used; the model of this one differs from that of the variable zoom by having a slightly taller rail underneath the scope, and the third-person view of this variant is that of the Modern Warfare 2 model. In "Bag and Drag", it is possible to find a M14 EBR by the fallen GIGN soldiers. "Scorched Earth", the player has an M14 EBR with Variable Zoom as part of their starting weapons, and another one can be found within the level with the same attachment.
Special Ops[]
The M14 EBR is available in the downloadable mission "Arctic Recon" on the mat near the spawn point. In this mission it is unscoped, and has no auto aim, despite being unscoped, similarly to the Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 mission "Breach & Clear".
The M14 EBR is not available in multiplayer or Survival mode, and is instead replaced by the MK14.

Call of Duty: Ghosts[]
- "Single shot. Moderate recoil, highest damage per round in class."
- — Description.
The M14 EBR appears in Call of Duty: Ghosts under the name MK14 EBR. It is now classed as a marksman rifle rather than a sniper rifle.
Campaign[]
The MK14 EBR is found with its standard scope in the level "Brave New World", before the massive concrete wall. It also appears in the mission "Homecoming" in the weapons cache, with an ACOG Scope.
Multiplayer[]
The MK14 EBR has a low fire rate and high damage. It has the highest maximum damage in its category, but as a downside it doesn't have any damage multiplier to the neck, unlike other Marksman Rifles. Like the other marksman rifles, the MK14 EBR boasts a fast time to kill, but its slow rate of fire and moderate recoil can make close range engagements challenging. This makes the MK14 a good choice for shooting through objects, especially when using Armor-Piercing, and it will also more easily dispatch enemies who might already be injured slightly. One drawback is its smallest magazine size at 18, smallest in its category, tied to the IA-2 and the SVU, which may increase the need for Extended Mags or Sleight of Hand.
It has very high range, beaten only by the SVU due to its perpetual two shot kill nature. As such, it benefits greatly from both the Muzzle Brake and Silencer attachments; it will attain a greater increase to its two shot kill range than other weapons in its class, while the reduced range when using a silencer is not as severe.
The MK14 EBR's damage allows it to effectively one-shot headshot an enemy before and during the damage dropoff (maximum of about 37 meters without a barrel attachment), making it a preferred weapon amongst sharpshooters, similarly to its brother in Modern Warfare 2. This also makes the Crocodile Camouflage easier to obtain, as the first hit to the head will most likely be your only bullet needed. If one wants this one-headshot kill range to occur very often, it is highly advised to use Muzzle Brake attachment.
In conclusion, the MK14 EBR is a deadly mid-range weapon that can go up against many other players with relative ease, able to fit the needs of many players who use it; however, it is statistically beaten in many categories: It has the second-lowest firecap (beaten by MR-28 and IA-2), only the second-largest range (beaten by SVU), and doesn't have the most manageable recoil in the category (beaten again by MR-28), and drops off to a slow 3-shot kill at extreme ranges, and combined with the low firecap, makes a very slow time to kill, which makes its alternatives the better choice in many situations.
Like other Marksman Rifles, the MK14 EBR has 15% less recoil when using the default scope.
Extinction[]
The MK14 EBR appears in the map Awakening and Exodus (Extinction). It costs $2000.
The MK14 EBR plays almost identically to the IA-2 and the SVU, having similar damage properties, firecap, handling characteristics, and identical magazine capacity and ammo loadout. Like the IA-2 and SVU, the MK14 EBR lags behind the assault rifles in every category except for damage, and even then, the MK14 EBR's damage isn't such a big advantage to justify using it over an assault rifle. At best, the MK14 EBR can get an instant one shot kill on scouts, something that assault rifles cannot do instantly. Other than that, the MK14 EBR doesn't have much of a reason to be used. Even with a good trigger finger, the MK14 EBR is usually inferior to the assault rifles.
Locations[]
- Awakening: Located in the first area near the Vanguard table. Located in the second area near the cliff.
- Exodus: Located on the back road behind the car garage and past the gas station. Also located in the slums outside the east gate of the base.

Call of Duty: Mobile[]
- "Higher rate of fire sniper rifle with better stability."
- — In-game description
The M14 EBR returns in Call of Duty: Mobile as the M21 EBR.
Multiplayer[]
Unlike other sniper rifles in the game, this gun cannot effectively do one-shot kills. It mostly needs 2 shots to kill a full health enemy, therefore it is a rather hard gun to master. It can only score a one-hit kill when hitting headshots, or when hitting the upper chest at below 10m (can be extended with attachments), or when the gun is used in hardcore mode. It has moderate sprint speed and average ADS speed.
Battle Royale[]
The M21 EBR is featured in Battle Royale. It has a high rate of fire and moderate damage output.

Trivia[]
Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2[]
- On Infinity Ward's website the M14 EBR was voted as the favorite sniper rifle in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2.
- The following can be seen written on the gun:
- Players can still see the M14 EBR's Iron Sights even with the scope attached.
- The M14 EBR's Heartbeat Sensor will not be camouflaged if camouflage is applied. The same goes for the Thermal Scope.
- Fall Camouflage appears purple/rainbow on the inside of the M14 EBR's scope.
- The M14 EBR's pickup icon always shows a scope regardless of the gun lacking a scope in Breach & Clear.
- In the Create-a-Class picture, the M14 EBR has a tan magazine, but in-game it has a black magazine.
Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3[]
- The M14 EBR in third person has a floating rail over the bolt, but the rail doesn't appear in first person.
Call of Duty: Ghosts[]
- The MK14 EBR's serial number is K 042613.
- The rim on the original scope appears to be worn, as there are various spots where the paint has come off. This is best seen while in ADS with the original scope.
- The MK14's iron sights are not folded or removed when optical attachments are in use. The front sight, due to this, can slightly obstruct the Red Dot Sight and ACOG Scope.
Call of Duty: Mobile[]
- The M21 EBR's serial number is 09132057
- The right side of a M21 EBR can be seen written on the gun through weapon inspection:
- 'EBR CHASSIS STOCK'
- 'S/N#769132057'
- The following can be seen written on the gun:
- 'ASSAULT RIFLE'
- '7.62 MM M14'
- 'ARMORY'
- '132057'
Call of Duty: Modern Warfare[]
- The EBR-14 was called M14 in early stages.
- Alex, in cinematic cutscenes as well as his in-game appearance as an NPC in The Embassy, uses the EBR-14 as his preferred loadout.
- The EBR-14 has nearly no bullet drop at all, even in the Warzone game mode. This is odd, as with the Kar98k and the MK2 Carbine, they have bullet drop, even in Ground War.
- The "Flesh Wound" blueprint of the EBR-14 is a direct reference to the Ghillie camouflage seen in the Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare missions All Ghillied Up and One Shot, One Kill.
Call of Duty: Modern Warfare II[]
- "Soap" MacTavish can be seen handling an EBR-14 as one of his two starting weapons (alongside the Fennec) right before ascending onto the platform in the reveal footage of "Dark Water". Curiously, the weapon is replaced with a TAQ-56 during the assault phase of the mission.
- Additionally, in the full version of the game, Soap will start the mission with the FTac Recon and the Fennec.
