Here are the BEST (and worst) Sniper/Melee Swap Times. You can’t find these metrics in CODM, I had to manually test it.

Here are my Notes:

  • Measurement are in frames based on 60fps.

  • Tundra (no attachments) was the constant. Using other snipers may yield different swap times, but the order from fastest to slowest should remain the same. For example, the Axe will always have the slowest swap times among base melees.

  • “Melee to Sniper” numbers are the key metric for fast swapping since you need to wait for the swap time to complete before getting a shot off.

  • That fastest among the base melees (ie non-unique camos) are the Knife, Base Melee Knife, Spear and Katana at 18 frames.

  • Unique camos like the free Legendary Stun Baton alter the can alter the base melee’s swap times. In this case, making it the slowest swap time among the melees I tested.

  • Other unique camos like the Karambit have no effect on the base melee’s swap time.

  • Nunchucks are the only Melee where swapping “Sniper to Melee” (22f) is faster than “Melee to Sniper” (23f)
