Warzone’s AMP63 Pistol: Why NICKMERCS Says It’s Not Worth Your Grind
Introduction
The arrival of the AMP63 in Warzone Season 3 has sparked mixed reactions, with top streamer NICKMERCS delivering a particularly harsh assessment of this full-auto pistol’s viability.
AMP63 Performance Analysis
Despite boasting an impressive fire rate and manageable recoil, the AMP63 falls short in damage output compared to Warzone’s dominant close-quarter weapons.
The pistol’s early accidental release created initial excitement, but gameplay testing reveals significant limitations. While its rapid-fire capability seems appealing on paper, practical use shows it requires nearly an entire magazine to down a single opponent – a critical flaw in Warzone’s fast-paced engagements.
NICKMERCS’ Verdict
“Let’s be real – this gun’s performance is straight-up disappointing,” NICKMERCS stated during his stream. His gameplay demonstrations showed the AMP63 requiring 12-15 shots at close range to eliminate an opponent, while meta SMGs accomplish the same in 5-7 shots.
The weapon’s Black Ops heritage as the PM63 explains some of its shortcomings. Originally classified as an SMG, it carried the same damage profile issues that now plague its Warzone incarnation.
Comparison with Meta SMGs
When stacked against current close-range dominators like the MAC-10 or Bullfrog, the AMP63’s deficiencies become glaring. Even in akimbo configuration, the pistols fail to deliver competitive time-to-kill statistics.
NICKMERCS emphasized: “The community hype doesn’t match reality. You’ll lose most gunfights against properly equipped opponents.” This assessment is particularly valuable given the extensive time investment required to unlock optimal attachments.
Practical Recommendations
For players considering the AMP63, we recommend:
- Prioritize leveling meta SMGs first
- Wait for potential buffs before investing time
- If using, pair with a long-range primary
- Focus on headshots to maximize damage
The weapon may find niche use in pistol-only loadouts, but currently can’t compete with top-tier options.
