In this episode: the Honey Badger - an American Personal Defence Weapon with integral suppressor: named for a particularly ferocious species of mustelid.
The Honey Badger's damage is moderate, with the weapon performing well in close quarters: three body shots to kill, or two shots where one is a headshot.
At a distance, you may need up to five shots to kill, unless you're fortunate enough to land four headshots upon a distant target.
Rate of fire is a healthy 800 rounds per minute, very good for the assault rifle category and certainly enough to hang in most close-quarters gunfights.
Hipfire performance is at the assault rifle default, but the intrinsic stealth benefits paired with the higher than average rate of fire means that hipfiring should generally yield good results.
Recoil is high, with your shots quickly dispersing in an omnidirectional manner.
The Honey Badger is very much suited to close range engagements, so you should seek to avoid longer range combat where possible.
Aim time is the same as any other assault rifle, at 300 milliseconds - and your movement speed is identical to the Honey Badger's peers too, at 90% of the base.
Magazine capacity is 30 rounds, or 45 rounds with extended mags: the standard for the assault rifle class.
Reloads are reasonably quick, taking 2.63 seconds to complete: sometimes inconvenient for a close-quarters weapon, but the default silencer will often buy you time sufficient to change mags.
The Honey Badger is an effective assault rifle for close quarters combat that comes pre-loaded with a free silencer.
Its damage is more than sufficient compared to the alternatives, and few other assault rifles can compare to the Honey Badger's rate of fire.
When used in a stealth role, the weapon is both versatile and deadly - more than able to quickly take down enemies out to a middle range.
At a distance, performance does suffer - the higher recoil means landing shots at range is difficult, which could give the advantage to a weapon better suited to the engagement.
You'll find SMGs and shotguns do outperform you at a very close range, too - while the Honey Badger's output is good, it pales in comparison to the weapons which specialise in short-range scuffles.
Still, you do have a stealth edge - and the blend of traits bestowed upon the mighty badger do make it a good fit for such a role.
Such a tenacious weapon won't stand for any nonsense, and will earnestly cut down any prey bold enough to stand in its way.
I come for the guns, but stay for the puns.
Honey Badger don't care!
Nice job ryming
I highly recommend the silencer with this gun.
***** It's the best attachment for the gun.
+Cyrus Flores OMG man!! Thanks!! I got a KEM strike with the Honey Badger silenced!!!
Legit joke m8
gr8 b8 m8 I r8 8/8
It is already silenced
Is this Captain's Price brother? Because damn his voice sounds so military and epic that I feel as though he is briefing me for a Spec Ops mission or something...lol. Just awesome!
Lol ikr. I kinda felt like getting a red beret after xD
Kinda funny, because I have a very similar voice to xboxahoy

It's nice to find a KZhead channel covering video games that isn't run by a 16 year old with tons of "watch me play" videos, or other players that crowd that your channel with worthless commentary videos just to get views. Thank you!
Yes ! You are totally right. I hate watching guys like TRNB Frags... God this is a fool - watch me play i am cool ... pathetic
piotrg smell of jealousy lol
I recommend Drift0r.He also makes philosophical commentaries sometimes.He and XboxAhoy are my favorite
Ravi Dhillon Not jealous. I am too old to be jealous for such thing like YT Channel :) Don't like style of this guy, he think that he is some kind of CoD God... Believe he is not :) He is a ADHD teenage :)
Giorgos Athanasiou I think his channel is awesome, I subscribed him during this time last year, I like his dream commentaries, and yes, XboxAhoy and Drift are my favorite too.
One of the best reloads in all of CoD
Honey badger don't give a shit. Especially in Ghosts.
because as we all know, HONEY BADGER DONT GIVE A SHIT!!!
Saw a snake? no, saw a snack!
I don't even play CoD anymore. These videos are just great
Same
Through the whole video I was thinking about the puns you could make about the Honey Badger, yet none of them we're even close to the pure simplicity yet witty of yours... Excellent work!
I enjoy how you recommended the takedown perk as a substitute for the .300 blackout ammunition in real life.
*Sat waiting for Honey Badger don't give a shit* Was disappointed :(
he said honey badger dont care at the end
***** He has said multiple times that using "foul" language is no fun for him. He prefers using other words to keep a higher standard
TheSkipjack95 Amen.
TheSkipjack95 "Cursing is an ignorant mind trying to express itself!" My mom.
Icerink5am has that video
the ending reference
What reference
Honey badger don't care
@@thesteamteam3697 look up “the crazy nastyass honeybadger” on youtube
I love this gun. I use it with semi automatic and masterkey. I find that the semi-automatic honey badger is dominant in mid to long range, and the masterkey more than makes up for the loss of CQB ability. Semiautomatic also negates the need for a grip or extended mags attachment.
I miss his videos I wish he made more videos like these with newer shooters
Same i still come back to all his videos. Whoever watches in 2023 is a Legend
the newer shooters are ass
you don't wanna play with the honey badger ? honey badger don't give a shit
Feels like deadliest warriors when i watch
ikr wish it hadn't been cancelled
Airjordany2k IT GOT CANCELLED??!?!?!?! why!?! i started to watch TV less when that how stopped playing T^T
Haven't played Call of Duty in like 3 years, but God, do I enjoy watching your videos man. Keep it up!
This weapon has my favourite reload animation of any gun in CoD history. And its a very good gun too :P
I already know all the gun stats, but I always look forward to watching these videos anyway. They're entertaining and sometimes I try out your recommendations, usually to good effect.
Good to see AHOY has been making quality content even in the early days. The Honey Badger is one of my favorite guns.
I feel that this is one of the best all-rounder rifels in game. I like to use it at range, less so in close combat.
Yeah. It hits way harder at long range than it seems to. It is far better than putting supressor on other ARs. Watching this video really makes me want to go back to old COD games.
Best attachments on the honey badger are tracker sight & armor piercing. At least that's what I used now I use those and fore grip and it has amazing accuracy for a surpressed weapon.
STU-nning video. Keep it up Stu!
honey badger don't care... that made my night, awesommeee!! xD
Dude your voice combo'd with your accent sounds AWESOME!!! BTW awesome guide, you're always really freaking helpful!
This video is so professional omg his voice is awesome and the video is just wow i love this a sub for u my friend
The honey badger is "pretty badass"
I enjoy watching your videos they have helped me become a better player
Best pun in a while Stu!
Love the pun you used I remember that was from the honey badger video keep up the work love it
Damn straight it don't care. Btw, loved this episode, it confirmed that my typical class setup was good enough that even XboxAhoy uses it!
In my opinion it's the best gun in ghosts
Thanks for the guide,now im always first place with this class for the HB
I'm retired from cod but I enjoy the commentary. Another thumbs up
The recoil goes everywhere, so it also goes back to the middle. Works like a charm
found about his vids when i had black ops 2. been following his guide ever since
One of the best puns I've heard so far👍. Hey stew, are you familiar with "the walking dead" series?And if so, have you seen the last episode of the fourth season and if so, what are your thoughts?
Thx Ahoy, this video was SO helpful
Always is
Again!! Hahah you've done it again with the ending! Brilliant
As a massive fan of your channel and a hardcore player, I have to ask. Could you please do a breakdown of hardcore in ghosts? Including information such as how much increased damage there is, health, and how certain guns and attachments are either better for hardcore or redundant. For example the muzzle break is only useful on shotguns and a few of the weaker weapons.
Best Cod ever imo. Miss this game
i hate call of duty ghosts but your content is second to none, I watch just for your delivery
Your my go to gamer when it comes too classes/guides
Awesome pun , the best of the series so far ! But as far as this weapon goes i dont see a problem with equipping the supressor on any other gun for more consistent performance , the attachments available on ghosts arent really useful , mostly a bunch of optics which i dont use at all.
It may be just the voice but this guy is so cool. Dope videos, seems underrated.
You're a great CoD youtuber, unlike other ones out there like Hollowpoint and Drift0r. The Honey Badger is the most used gun in CoD Ghosts since there are a lot of videos that show the users with it. They're mostly not tactical players. Luckily there are tactical CoD players out there...but they're rare. :(
I like this guy, he be cool, no BS, just quality content.
Love the voice! Sounds like a proper documentary!
Great set up. Thanks.
Jeez, I thought Captain Price was commentating! Nice video, keep up the good work!
I dont even play Ghosts and i still watch this :P We love you, Stu.
Love this vid the honey badger is my fav weapon
god i loved this weapon, the feeling of this gun was unmatched
I use Grenade Launcher and Armor Piercing on my build, as well as Support Streaks and Danger Close / Sleight of Hand. It is surprisingly effective as not a lot of people run Blast Shield...
I love the way u say in the end of ur videos.... Its epic..!!
Great as always! If you could have one handgun in real life what would it be?
Lost my mind at the final line. Well done stu
Best. Pun. You've ever done!
The Focus perk is also very necesary on the Honey Badger it has such a ridiculous high sway when you stay on the sights after a few seconds.
Great vid!
My Favorite Weapon : ) I LOVE THE HONEY BADGER!!
I really enjoy the under barrel shotgun with the Acog scope. Gives a 1 shot instant kill when taken off guard extending the range of your fire to an unconventional level
You need to come back for ww2!!!! You were by far the best at this. You made shit feel so real!! Come back man!!
I like your little pun/jokes at the end of your videos
Can't wait for lmg's!
Hands down one of the top three guns in the game! Best Silenced effective range in its class and solid rate of fire helps you compete with most guns in close quarters!
when you choose the extra attachment perk you have 4 attachments on this gun, its a beautiful thing.
Best Ahoy endline ever.
Nice vid, lived the pun :)
Literally the best gun ever bruh it has a good firerate, integrated suppressor, sexy iron sights, sexy reload. My fav gun ever
It's so perfect, I used the absolute shit out of this thing.
ArchRevival yeah dude I loved it my fav gun ever just all around perfect
I LOVE YOUR PUNS! I giggle at everyone
Your weapon guide makes me want to use the weapon that your talking about
I love your videos.
I loved the pun at the end
this was the COD that was out when I was in my college dorm.. so I shamefully prestiged a few times and everything :/ gold Honey B. with foregrip and extended mag
That pun was golden!
I love this rifle! but i like how BO2 did the game with attachments and the custom loadout in the SP.
This gun is just the best because of it's stealth and power and btw the recoil is manageable but I still prefer it with a forehand grip
Oh god, this is the best pun :)
Wish this guy come back miss his video
Stuart, how was your 2013? I had a lovely year full of travelling. Did you get to pull yourself away from the weapon guides long enough to do anything similar?
That pun just made my day. :D
You da mannnnnn love this intel
i love the design of the Honey B.
Dunno why but I always use the scavenger perk it's pretty good for when u run out of ammo
man i LOVE that gun
am i the only one who doesn't have the game but still waches these for the puns
His voice though!
Welcome to the club :)
Christmas noobs are only about a day away! :DDD
WHAD IZ HABBENBING HERE? :DDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD
lol I got BF4 for Christmas.
Best pun yet in ghosts!
for the pun i was thinking he was ganna say, "this is gun is slient but deadly" but the pun for this guide was pretty funny too :D
I use honey badger with foregrip armor piercing and perks are sleight of hand dead silence off the grid scavenger and hardline it works great!
Armor peircing doesn't help at all i use fore grip and extendemags
I swear I was waiting for you to say something about honey badger don't give a damn lol love the puns
Honestly, i don't understand dislikes for this great job.
Stu, in the season pass reveal, InfinityWard mentioned that there would be bonus weapons involved. Will you be reviewing these too?
I adore the Honey Badger in Hardcore Team Deathmatch; VMR optic, foregrip, Incog... Can't beat it.
I was hoping for a more mature final pun for this one, I know you basically said the correct phrase but it was in a more conserved way, I wanted to hear "Honey Badger just don't give a shit!" Lol, loved the video Stu!
bring honey badger back to MW all swetts be all over it. lol
I love the Honey Badger, I love the free suppressor.
Now there only need to be a honey guide weapon for call of duty the perfect combo irl
