Learn how to use the Browning Automatic Rifle (BAR) in Call of Duty: World at War, ideal for campers and support roles. Discover its full auto and slow auto modes.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    The BAR functions as both a machine gun (MG) and an assault rifle (AR), capable of full auto or slow auto fire.
  2. 2
    Using the BAR significantly slows your movement speed.
  3. 3
    It is an ideal weapon for a camping playstyle.
  4. 4
    For camping, utilize full auto fire from a concealed position (like bushes) to eliminate enemies.
  5. 5
    For long-range engagements, switch to slow auto fire and aim for the head, as a single shot is sufficient for a kill.
  6. 6
    At short range, aim for the knees due to the weapon's severe recoil, which is the worst among all guns in the game.
  7. 7
    The BAR can be effectively used for support, positioning yourself in a window or behind cover (press the cover button to crouch behind walls or objects) to engage enemies as the main assault begins.
  8. 8
    Typically, you can achieve 2-3 kills using the BAR in a support role, but be prepared to switch weapons if another player has already taken the support position.
Tips
  • The BAR's high recoil makes it challenging at close range; aim for the knees.
  • For long-range effectiveness, aim for the head for a one-shot kill.
  • Its slow movement speed makes it less suitable for aggressive, front-line assaults.
  • Consider using the BAR as a secondary weapon if you find yourself needing a powerful support option.
