- "3 Round Burst allows for high damage output. Fast rate of fire in full auto."
- — Description.
The MSBS is a bullpup three-round burst assault rifle that appears in Call of Duty: Ghosts.
Campaign
The MSBS is used by enemy Federation soldiers in the mission "Sin City". It is also part of Logan's starting loadout in "All or Nothing", where it is fitted with a Holographic Sight.
Multiplayer
The MSBS is available in Multiplayer as the only [default] burst fire assault rifle available. It costs a moderate 8 points to unlock.
The MSBS functions in a similar role to the SWAT-556, shooting slow yet powerful bursts. Unlike any of the non-DLC assault rifles in Ghosts, it can actually achieve a two-shot kill on someone before the damage drop-off (a feat that only the Ameli shares). However, due to a patch, the MSBS possesses 0.8x multipliers to the arms, hands, lower legs, and the feet. Having one of the bullets hit any of those spots will not achieve a two-shot kill, unless it is compensated by a headshot.
The MSBS' recoil is very odd, as the MSBS will usually kick upwards and slightly to the sides. However, the MSBS' centerspeed is horrible, not recentering between bursts most of the time. As such, most players will have to discipline their fire rate. Considering that the MSBS requires five shots to kill at a distance, and that the overall rate of fire is low, this makes the MSBS one of the worst assault rifles for long range combat.
The iron sights of the weapon are actually very bulky and hard to use. As such, optical attachments are warmly welcomed on this weapon, such as a Red Dot Sight. Many players would also welcome the use of a Muzzle Brake in order to increase the one-burst kill range of the weapon. A Silencer is more of a hindrance than an asset on the MSBS, as the valuable range is cut down on, and the muzzle flash is almost never in play, as an optical attachment is almost always in use, which also negates much of the use of a Flash Suppressor. The underbarrel shotgun can be of assistance to the player when a close-range weapon is required, at the expense of the lethal slot. The Foregrip can be used to increase the recenter speed, but even then, it is still rather slow, putting the attachment's value into question on this weapon.
The MSBS is unique in that it is the only weapon in Ghosts that can get the Automatic Fire attachment. While the base rate of fire is slightly lowered, the lack of delay between shots is eliminated, allowing the MSBS to fire much faster overall than it could before. However, equipping this attachment will apply a 0.9x multiplier to every part of the body barring the head. This means that killing an enemy will require three shots, unless one of them is a headshot. Other modifications are rarely seen in use, as many players will invest more in other categories. Extended Mags effectively gives the MSBS 15 bursts to fire, which can be beneficial if a player can work it into their arsenal.
In conclusion, the MSBS is a unique weapon in Ghosts that holds its own advantage in providing deadly burst-fire, which can go up until medium-range, making it a great weapon to use in mid-range choke points. If used correctly, the MSBS won't disappoint the player.
It should be noted that the MSBS is banned when CoD eSports are turned on, and is the only non-DLC assault rifle to be prohibited.
