URL: https://codloadout.gitlab.io/mw4/weapons/oden/best-build/
Updated: 2026-11-04

CODMunity ranks the Oden Versatile build highest in Multiplayer, at its Meta tier. Its attachments in Gunsmith order: Optic: ZLR Type C; Muzzle: VLK SH-S12; Underbarrel: FSS Fireline Grip; Magazine: 30 Round Mag; Laser: XRK Clutch-LS. CODMunity reports a 2.9% Multiplayer pick rate for the Oden, rank 16 of 28 weapons with a reported rate.

CODMunity gives DMZ builds no tier, so none of its 2 DMZ builds for the Oden (Apex Attachment and Long Range) is ranked above another. DMZ Radar places the Oden in tier C for DMZ PvP.

Community-reported Builds and pick rate: [CODMunity](https://codmunity.gg/mw4), read November 4, 2026. Tiers: ggranked and DMZ Radar.

Among assault rifles its fire rate ranks 7 of 8 and its magazine ranks 7 of 8. Activision describes the Oden this way: Bullpup rifle with brutal impact and a lower cyclic rate. Its caliber is 12.7x55 mm. Its Apex Attachment is the Oden Sentinel. Turns the Oden into a semi-auto sniper rifle with a bipod, custom suppressor and sniper scope. It blocks barrel and muzzle attachments.

## Oden pick rate, tier and time to kill

*Community tier and time to kill placements of the Oden*

| Source | Entry | Tier | Time to kill | Note |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| ggranked | Oden | Tier B | 960 ms | Base weapon |
| ggranked | Oden Sentinel | Tier C | 1,412 ms | With Apex Attachment |
| DMZ Radar | Oden | Tier C | Not reported | DMZ PvP tier, no time to kill published; unchanged |

Among the 8 assault rifles ggranked gives a figure for, the Oden ranks 7, 141 ms behind the M4.

Since the October 24, 2026 reading ggranked moved the Oden Sentinel and changed its time to kill from 1406 ms to 1412 ms (6 ms higher).

CODMunity's pick rate for the Oden was 1.9% on October 28, 2026; it is 2.9% now.

## Builds for a goal

Community-reported Calculated on this site from CODMunity's community-reported stat multipliers: for each goal, the attachments that do most for it within the Gunsmith limit. These are not a community recommendation and were not tested in the game.
