- — Description.
The MTAR is a bullpup Assault Rifle featured in Call of Duty: Black Ops II.
Campaign
The MTAR is used by David Mason and the ISI in Fallen Angel, with a Milimeter Scanner. DeFalco uses one in Karma if you catch up to him, trying to resuce Chloe Lynch from him.
Multiplayer
The MTAR is the first assault rifle to be unlocked, available at level 4. It features moderate shot damage, taking at least three rounds to kill up close even if all three are headshots. It can take up to five rounds at longer ranges, although this is reduced to four rounds if one is a headshot. It has moderate recoil and reasonably clear iron sights, which makes the MTAR a highly versatile weapon that lacks a pressing need for any specific attachment. It is noteworthy that the MTAR boasts the second fastest time to kill of all fully automatic assault rifles after the AN-94 when counting the first two rounds. As such, the MTAR is a good close to medium range weapon for players who wish to retain adequate performance at greater distances. Either the Fast Mag or Extended Mag attachments are both solid choices due to the MTAR's suitability to aggressive play and somewhat lengthy reload. Attaching the Laser Sight will grant superior hipfire performance in close-quarter gunfights when caught off guard or ambushed, while the Quickdraw Handle will allow the user to quickly aim down sights, which helps in close quarters combat.
As of the Jan. 26 Patch, the MTAR's three hit kill range has been increased to 650 inches, or 16.5 meters.

It can be acquired from the Mystery Box for 950 points. It starts with a medium amount of ammo, 240 rounds, and has good damage. Recoil is minimal, but the bullets spread even while in ADS, making it difficult to use past close range. Once upgraded, it is called the Malevolent Taxonomic Anodized Redeemer and will have a Reflex Sight, increased damage and the spread is reduced while in ADS making it more useful at longer ranges. Like many other weapons, it can be Pack-A-Punched multiple times for 2000 points. Pack-A-Punching it multiple times cycles different attachments, but in return removes the previous attachment. Various attachments include the MMS, Target Finder, EOTech sight and Grenade Launcher.
