![]() ![]() Now, a full week after the game has launched, Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War's multiplayer meta has begun to form. Some guns have been clearly stronger than other (Hint: it's the MP5) to the point of warranting its own nerf, while others have flown under the radar. SMGs in general, like most Call of Duty games, are incredibly strong in Black Ops Cold War. ARs come in a close second, with most other weapons serving situational purposes. Others are comparatively lackluster as well, especially launchers and most secondary weapons. Now that the game's been out for a bit, Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War's multiplayer meta has begun to settle on the power weapons. For hardcore players, this list may not come as a surprise. Many of multiplayer's most powerful weapons are pretty clear, and even when some of them are nerfed, they're still incredibly strong. For now, this is the game's current meta in the Pre-Season. S-Tier: MP5, M16, Krig 6, AUG, Pellington 703, LW3 - Tundra RELATED: Complete Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War M16 Breakdown It's already been confirmed that some big changes to the whole multiplayer experience are coming in Season One, but for now, here are the strongest weapons to use in Black Ops Cold War's multiplayer. These weapons are the peak of both weapon popularity and viability. ![]() For those who've been playing Black Ops Cold War since launch, there won't be many surprises here. For starters, it's pretty safe to say the MP5 is easily the best weapon in the game. Even with the MP5's ever-so-slight nerf this week, it's still incredibly strong for any engagement in the game. The Krig 6 assault rifle, alongside the M16 and AUG tactical rifles, are all low-recoil lasers that make quick work of opponents. And yes, despite snipers receiving quite a heavy nerf from Black Ops Cold War's alpha and beta, the Pellington 703 and LW3 - Tundra are still incredibly strong and quick to fire. Strangely enough, there are a lot of repeat weapon types in the S-Tier category, especially with the Pellington/Tundra and M16/AUG. With very few attachment or stat differences between them, all four weapons greatly excel in the tactical rifle and sniper categories. It's only in the SMG and AR categories where the clear differences lie, and for right now, both the MP5 and Krig 6 are at the top of their game. Weapons in A-Tier are still serviceably very good, even if they're not objectively the best weapons in their category. The rest of the assault rifles (save for one exception) fit into this category: both the AK-47 and XM4 have their minor flaws, but each serves its own distinct purpose as an AR. XM4 needs some specific attachments to be viable, but once the rifle's modified optimally, it's almost as accurate and strong as the Krig 6. The AK-47 has the strongest damage output of any AR, but the only thing holding it back is it's more significant recoil. SMGs in this category have the potential to be higher in the future, thanks to the initial MP5 damage fall off and recoil nerf. Both the AK-74u and Bullfrog are both very strong choices for anyone who's not interested in using the MP5. The Milano 821 is a bit more niche option, with a slower rate of fire but high damage output in close range. ![]()
