Is Marlin worth using?

If you have good aim, absolutely. High damage per shot. Not recommended if you spray-and-pray—this is a single-shot weapon.

M14 is better for sustained fire and easier to use. Marlin hits harder per shot. Pick M14 for firepower, Marlin for high-skill ceiling plays.

Can Marlin one-shot kill?

Yes. Upper chest and headshots at close-mid range one-shot kill.

Is the 190k build worth it?

Not really. 100k budget build works great. Try budget build first.

How do I apply these builds?

Three simple steps: 1) Click the Copy Code button on any build card above. 2) In-game, open Modify → Loadouts → Import, paste the code, and apply it to your Marlin Lever. 3) Click Purchase to buy any missing attachments, then save the loadout. Done.
