The right loadout makes every weapon much better. In Call of Duty: Black Ops – Cold War every factor from the handle to the sight should be considered.

The XM4 is available right from the start of Black Ops Cold War. The fully automatic assault rifle is an all-rounder, distinguishing itself thanks to its medium damage and fast fire rate. It is worthwhile to provide an effective loadout for this weapon.

Attachments for the XM4-Loadout:

– Optics: Microflex LED
– Muzzle: SOCOM Eliminator
– Barrel: 13.5″ – Takedown
– Underbarrel: Field Agent Grip
– Magazines: 40 RND Speed Mag
– Handle: Airborne Elastic Wrap

With the help of the SOCOM eliminator, the vertical recoil is better controlled and the muzzle flash is significantly reduced. In addition, the Field Agent Grip on the underflow reduces the recoil. The barrel improves the effective damage range by 150 percent.

While the XM4 with the most effective loadout is less known for its mobility, it can be perfectly used for medium and even longer distances to take out the enemy. With precision and recoil control, this weapon is a solid companion in skilled hands.

MP5 is everywhere
One of the most iconic weapons in Call of Duty is the MP5. In Cold War the first voices are heard early on that the SMG is still a bit too strong. This is mainly due to the high speed of the MP5 and its handling.

The loadout of the MP5:

– Muzzle: Sound suppressor
– Barrel: 9.5″ – Reinforced Heavy
– Underbarrel: Bruiser Grip
– Magazines: 40 RND Drum
– Handle: Quickdraw Handle

The improved barrel increases the effective damage range by 18 percent and the speed of the ball by a whopping 80 percent. In addition, the Bruiser Grip brings out some of the speed of the user, a full 40 percent. Especially with a melee weapon like the MP5 it is important to keep mobility and speed high.

The AK-47 is not famous for nothing
The AK-47 is one of the best assault rifles in Cold War. With almost 300 milliseconds Time to Kill (TTK), the Kalashnikov is the fastest SG and is very easy to control. However, the weapon, which has a slightly slower target speed, needs a suitable loadout package to reach its full potential.

The loadout of the AK-47:

– Muzzle: KGB Eliminator
– Barrel: 18.2″ – Takedown
– Body: Steady Aim Laser
– Underbarrel: Spetsnaz Grip
– Magazines: 40 RND Speed Mag
– Handle: Quickdraw Handle

The KGB Eliminator increases vertical recoil control by 17 percent. This makes the weapon much more accurate in heated battles. Together with the increased damage range due to the improved barrel and the Steady Aim Laser, the shots sit even better. Thanks to the handle, the aiming speed is increased by ten percent.
