Bizarre Warzone glitch is launching players into space ActivisionA ridiculous new Warzone bug could make you one of the first astronauts in Verdansk as players returning from the Gulag are being launched into space. While Warzone has been riddled with cheaters, even forcing a large chunk of the player-base to turn off cross-play, the new Call of Duty battle royale has also seen its fair share of bugs. From an infinite ammo glitch to a hilarious Cold-Blooded interaction, there’s always something new popping up. The latest head-scratching issue has players being launched into space and getting a new look at Verdansk. Warzone’s Gulag offers a way for players to earn their spot back in the match after being gunned down. Winning your 1v1 typically returns you straight to the battlefield to rejoin your team. However, this hilarious bug is outright removing that second chance at victory by sending players further than any vehicle could ever travel. Rather than simply landing back on the ground after winning their Gulag match on April 20, Reddit user ‘ODST_Viper2425’ was stunned as their character glitched and went soaring into the sky. Before their feet could even touch the ground, they were propelled back to the respawn altitude and even further out of Verdansk. From their new vantage point up high, they were able to see the full size of the enormous map. They were launched a whopping 20,000 meters from their Recon Contract. The glitch seemingly popped up the moment in which they deployed their parachute. There’s no telling if the location is what caused the glitch, or if it was something else entirely. Developers are yet to comment on the puzzling issue. For the time being, this could just be a one in a million bug with no effective way of recreating it. Dying instantly when returning from the Gulag doesn’t look like much fun at all. At least this player got a once in a lifetime trip from the experience though.

Bizarre Warzone glitch highlights players returning from Gulag ActivisionA strange Warzone glitch is basically giving players wallhacks after returning from the gulag, but it’s not exactly the easiest to take advantage of. Warzone is no stranger to weird glitches and bugs. The invisibility glitch arrived in Verdansk once again thanks to the brief return of turrets on helicopters. There have also been countless iterations of the stim glitch, wall breaches, ‘demon’ guns and more. All that is to say that, at this point, it really looks like anything is possible. There used to even be a bug where getting a live ping on someone in the pre-game lobby could last the duration of their life in the match. Now, this glitch is leaving players fully highlighted when they drop in, visible in bright red through walls and across the map. Accidental Warzone wallhacks glitch This has been showcased by donats91 on Reddit, who posted a video of the bizarre wall hack. Read More: Dr Disrespect roasts Warzone’s Easter update – The opponent was lit up in bright red only for donats, with his teammates confirming there was nothing strange about the enemy player. Donats himself sounded exasperated by what was going on, so we can’t imagine what the other player was thinking at the time. They did kill him in the end, but it wasn’t without some empathy from the prevailing squad. How the glitch happened In a comment posted in the Reddit thread, donats explained what he believed to have been the issue. He said: “Basically my friend had a Most Wanted and I was ready to face a guy in the gulag. He won right as me and the guy were about to start moving. That red outline that you get on your opponent at the beginning of the gulag will stay on that player (since he’s released also) until he dies.” So this isn’t something that could be easily replicated, but it’s definitely a bug Raven Software will want to look into and get fixed.

Bizarre Warzone glitch gives teams wins before they even land ActivisionEver since its release, Call of Duty Warzone has had its fair share of game-breaking bugs, but a newly-discovered glitch may claim the prize for being the strangest of all. Like most games in the battle royale genre, Warzone begins with players and their teams skydiving onto the map from way up above. This drop, while standard across the board, can be important when it comes to securing a good position in the first few moments of a game. Just like with poker tournaments, getting ahead quickly can pay dividends. However, with this new Warzone glitch, teams can actually win in just seconds, before even landing. As showcased by Redditor gencaykurtt, the PC player was in the midst of dropping in, when, for some reason, before he could even fire a single shot let alone actually land onto the battlefield, the game awarded his team the victory. The end result is a victory screen in just eight seconds. As you can see by the stats screen that pops up, no one on the squad accomplished anything – no kills, damage, contracts, just zeroes across the scoreboard. Somehow, however, despite all this, they emerged victorious, leading to some amusing replies on the thread. “You must have the best gaming chair in the world,” one user joked after watching the video, referring to the popular gaming meme. “Whole lobby must have thought you guys were cheating. I’m surprised you didn’t get banned with people using the report cheaters option,” another user sarcastically replied in reference to the abundance of cheaters in the game. Some others had an interesting thought: what if everyone in the lobby was actually awarded a win and not just that team. The video was muted, so we don’t know what the reaction to the match ending was. For all we know, everyone in the game won and there were no losers. As far as glitches go, this one may not seem overly “bad” as it at least happened at the very beginning of the match, but if it ends up happening much later on with teams winning out of nowhere, Activision could have yet another problem on their hands.

Bizarre Warzone glitch gives players the hottest iron sights possible Treyarch/ActivisionA strange Warzone glitch involving a canister is setting players’ iron sights on fire, giving them an “incendiary” optic. While Raven Software has made adjustments to improve the gameplay experience in Warzone Pacific with RICOCHET and Caldera, frequent in-game glitches are still a massive issue for players. Although the majority of these bugs can completely ruin players’ matches, there are a few that can occasionally be considered positive, even if they do make it harder to eliminate opponents. One of which is the newly discovered “incendiary” optic bug, that replaces a players’ iron sight with a roaring flame. Warzone bug gives players an “incendiary” optic While competing in a standard Warzone match on Caldera, Reddit user davedavewowdave attempted to light a canister while taking gunfire from an opponent. This encounter resulted in them being sent to the Gulag which they managed to win, allowing davedavewowdave to drop back onto Caldera. However, after picking up a new weapon soon after landing, they soon realized that their iron sight was covered by a flame, the same animation shown when lighting a canister. Although the glitch made it almost impossible to accurately shoot any opponents, there’s no denying that the flame effect looks incredible on the gun. After posting the clip to Reddit, users quickly dubbed the bug the “incendiary” optic and even expressed how it would be the type of feature added with a new blueprint. Attempting to replicate this would be extremely difficult as the glitch occurred due to a player being shot while lighting a canister. As a result, it’s unlikely the devs are going to make this a priority fix, especially with issues like the demon gun bug still plaguing Warzone and Vanguard matches.

Bizarre Warzone glitch eliminates Gulag winners for no reason ActivisionWarzone’s Gulag gives players one last chance to return to Caldera after death by beating an opponent in a 1v1. But a strange glitch is eliminating those who emerge victorious, completely breaking the entire system. Ever since the launch of Warzone Pacific, the CoD battle royale has been notoriously riddled with bugs and glitches. This has continued after the mid-season update, with players reporting everything from invisibility glitches to out-of-map exploits. The new update also appears to have caused problems with one of Warzone’s oldest features – the Gulag. This arena gives fallen players the chance to earn themselves a free respawn, by defeating another player in a 1v1. First, we saw a bug that let spectators disrupt the solo battles. But a new glitch appears to be randomly killing off players straight after they have escaped the Gulag. Reddit user PinkLyfe69 uploaded a clip that seemed to reveal the surprising new bug. The player can be seen taking out their opponent who wasn’t moving at the spawn, after which the banner saying “Gulag Winner” appeared at the top of the screen. This would normally mean they get to return to the action in Caldera for a second chance at victory. Unfortunately, that wasn’t the case for this player. At the point they should be redeployed and come go parachuting back in, they are met with a screen informing that they had been eliminated, and placed 96th in the match. There was nothing they could do but watch the XP earned come rolling in. It is unclear from the video exactly what is causing this glitch, as the Gulag winner didn’t seem to do anything out of the ordinary. But this is clearly a big problem for Raven Software to fix, as those currently suffering from the glitch are at a severe disadvantage. Other users responded calling out the developers for allowing yet another glitch to creep into Warzone. “Just another day in the life of a AAA game from a billion-dollar studio,” said one sarcastic reply. The Gulag feature is crucial to the overall Warzone experience, and at the moment it seems that some players are only being afforded half as many lives as the rest of the lobby. Fans will be hoping to see a fix for this issue very soon.

Bizarre Warzone glitch automatically pings any nearby enemies Infinity WardA strange glitch with Warzone’s new tactical equipment, the Spotter Scope, can automatically ping any nearby opponents for you once they enter your field of view (FoV) in Verdansk. Modern Warfare’s battle royale mode Warzone features a massive map, Verdansk, where it can be difficult to spot enemies, particularly in some of the more open areas of the map. However, a new piece of tactical equipment, the Spotter Scope, which works similarly to binoculars, was introduced to help players locate and ping their opponents from far away. While there were mixed reactions to this new piece of equipment, it may become a go-to item after a glitch was found with it that could give players a significant advantage in Warzone. Read More: How to create a Counter UAV in Warzone – Call of Duty YouTuber Bubs shared this unusual trick and revealed that the spotter scope could automatically ping opponents once they appear on screen, even labeling it a “semi wallhack.” “You can ping and see people from so far away, once you see them the ping will automatically be there and it’s basically like a semi wallhack glitch after that,” he added, revealing that the ping can be tracked if they move into cover. Bubs explained that, while it is a simple trick, you will require the help of a friend or need to buy a self-revive from a Buy Station in order to attempt this glitch. How to automatically ping enemies in Warzone You’ll first need to find a Spotter Scope and a Molotov or Thermite grenade while looting. – With a friend nearby, or with a Self Revive kit ready to use, throw one of these lethal grenades on the ground and walk into it while looking through your Spotter Scope. – Keep looking through the scope until you get downed by the damage and then crawl out of the fire. – Revive yourself using your self-revive kit or have a friend help you up. – Once you’re up, your character should automatically ping any opponents that walk into your FoV. – Topic starts at 1:19 There you have it, once you follow these steps you should be any players that enter your FoV should be pinged, which could help with any you might have missed. However, as this seems to be an unintended exploit, it is likely that Infinity Ward will look to implement a patch for this glitch in one of their future updates.

Bizarre Warzone Gas Mask bug is ruining games after Season 3 update ActivisionThere’s a strange Warzone Season 3 bug that’s causing Gas Masks to inadvertently lie to players, leading them to die preventable deaths on their way into the circle. Gas Masks are a key part of Warzone’s ring system. The ability to stay mobile and make plays even when outside of the safe zone is a big part of what makes Call of Duty’s BR so dynamic. On top of that, knowing how long you can survive in the gas is an important part of winning games these days. If there’s no way to predict how much time you have to make a move then the game becomes a lot more random. That’s exactly what’s happening to players across the internet following the April 27 update. Bizarre Gas Mask bug in Warzone Pacific When players pick up a Gas Mask in-game now there’s a chance that it won’t show up correctly on the screen. Occasionally new pickup will show full durability even if another player has used it to get into the zone before. This leads to ridiculous moments like the one below where a survivable situation turns into a death trap in an instant. The player on-screen makes a heads-up play by checking the Heartbeat Sensor before heading out into the gas, but because of the bugged HUD, they have no time to make a play in the gas. While no official fix has been found yet, one commenter suggested that opening and closing the scoreboard can do the trick, but it might take a few tries. He said: “I’ve tried to recreate it but it’s not 100% certain… it seems to be a visual glitch and doesn’t actually refill [your mask].” The devs have already patched up a lot of issues with the Gas Mask over the last two seasons but it looks like they’ve got another issue to add to their list.

Bizarre Warzone exploit lets you fly around the map with super speed Infinity WardA new Warzone exploit has been found that allows players to fly above Verdansk at extremely high speeds, making you almost untargetable to opponents on the map. Getting across Verdansk without being shot at by opponents, even with a helicopter or truck, can prove to be a daunting task for even some of the best Warzone players. However, an unusual exploit has been found which seems to be letting players travel across Verdansk at top speeds, making it much harder opponents to land a shot. Call of Duty YouTuber Bubs was among the first to uncover this bizarre bug and revealed that this “super speed” glitch was quite easy to pull off, despite being potentially game-breaking. He revealed that, with the brief help of a helicopter and a friend, Warzone players could take advantage of this glitch to quickly travel across the map. “I’m going to show you a super speed glitch, that can literally teleport you anywhere within a few seconds,” he explained. Topic starts at 1:15 He revealed that instead of entering the vehicle, as usual, you would simply need to jump onto the landing rail on either side of the helicopter before having your friend pilot it as high as it can go. Once you reach the maximum altitude, your friend will have to slowly move the chopper forward, which will give you the chance to walk off the rail and pull your parachute instantly, glitching your character in the sky. Once in this state, you should be able to move from side to side at a rapid pace and make your way closer to where you want to go. However, it is worth noting that while you can control the direction of the parachute, the movement mechanics can be somewhat unpredictable during the exploit as it relies on your character glitching through the air to reach high speeds. Although it does not work perfectly every time, Infinity Ward will likely be looking to patch this bizarre bug in one of the future updates.

Bizarre Warzone execution bug kills you instead of the enemy Infinity WardA bizarre bug with the finishing move mechanic in Modern Warfare and Warzone has left some players totally dumbfounded, after the tables were turned and they were killed by their own execution attempt. Finisher moves are an awesome feature added in 2019’s Modern Warfare for the first time in a Call of Duty game. Approach an enemy from behind and hold the melee button to see your character perform a brutal takedown of the enemy for extra style points, all done in a snappy third-person view. Unless you get caught with this rare bug, that is. After a number of odd sightings of this bug, players began to put together a pattern of why it happens. Most notably, prominent Call of Duty League caster, Clint ‘Maven’ Evans, was left utterly perplexed after “winning” his Gulag with an assassination, only to realize he had been denied his victory in the cruelest manner. Performing the execution on his unsuspecting foe, Maven was convinced he had done enough to get back to his teammates, not even realizing that a bug had actually given his enemy the win instead. Incredible game we are playing here pic.twitter.com/HN48Su0Eqy — Clint “”Maven”” Evans (@Maven) July 13, 2020 After his initial confusion, other Twitter users explained that is a rare bug that occurs when your enemy is carrying a throwing knife in their hand. For some unexplained reason, which is surely unintentional on the part of the developers, an enemy wielding a throwing knife will inexplicably counter the execution. apparently if you have your lethal in hand it counters the assassination lmao — Clint “”Maven”” Evans (@Maven) July 13, 2020 This presumably happens because, like dying with a grenade in your hand, the lethal will simply drop to the ground. But, if you have a throwing knife, it will simply “insta-kill” the would-be executioner. This is certainly something the developers at Infinity Ward will want to look into, but at the time of writing it’s not listed as known issue on their public Trello board. It’s not the only bug they’ve had either, as sometimes finishing moves simply don’t finish the opponent at all. In the meantime, you might want to use this trick to your advantage. If you’re ever hiding in a spot, and fearful of a possible execution, just sit with a throwing knife in your hand. If this bug happens every time, it will render you immune from finisher moves.

Bizarre Warzone drop bug takes first-person POV to a whole new level ActivisionCall of Duty: Warzone has spawned plenty of hilarious bugs since its release, and another has now been added to the list: a bizarre (and slightly terrifying) glitch that puts a whole new spin on what it means to be an FPS. As the halfway mark of Warzone Season 5 approaches, and the game’s mid-season update inches closer, fans are chomping at the bit to get their hands on the new content landing September 8. There’s plenty to be excited about in the Season 5 Reloaded update, but Warzone also continues to suffer from plenty of bugs and glitches — some of which are endearing, while others are of a more frustrating (or even game-breaking) nature. Regardless, another glitch has joined the ranks of Warzone’s unintentional modifiers. This new bug, popping up during the game’s initial drop-in phase, is both bizarre and unsettling all at the same time (but luckily, doesn’t appear to bring down the core gameplay experience). In a post on Reddit, one Warzone player shared their interesting experience with a new POV while dropping into a game of Quads on Rebirth Island. “What am I even looking at?” they asked, while sharing video footage of the surreal experience. The clip shows the player and his teammates flying towards Rebirth in a helicopter as the match gets set to kick off — pretty standard stuff for any Warzone player. However, the clip took a totally unexpected turn after the player opened their in-game roster, then closed it back out. Instead of switching back to the intro sequence, however, they were met with a bizarre and possibly even terrifying sight. Their POV had been replaced by, quite literally, a first-person view of their operator. While looking around, they could clearly see their ears, eyes, and teeth — all from inside their own skull. As the player continued to look around in confusion, the camera suddenly snapped back to outside the chopper as the pre-game launch screen reappeared, so it doesn’t seem this glitch is game-breaking (just a bit unsettling). Fortunately, this particular bug doesn’t stop players from enjoying the game how it’s meant to be played — but it does give them quite a unique perspective on things as they prepare to drop into Verdansk or Rebirth Island. Keep your eyes peeled for this one — literally.

Bizarre Warzone connection bug freezes players in sky for easy kills ActivisionConnectivity bugs are nothing new for multiplayer gamers, but a recent Call of Duty: Warzone clip takes them to another level. Apparently, players can now freeze mid-air for easy, albeit unsatisfying free kills. Most online multiplayer players have experienced some degree of lag. And the brief stutters can feel even worse in FPS (first-person shooter) titles. When each moment is so impactful and every bullet counts, lag is a killer. But you know connectivity bugs are especially bad when opponents don’t feel comfortable taking the glitched kill. That was the case for Reddit’s ‘jarstelfox,’ who was hanging out in Plunder when they saw someone dangling mid-air. And it’s one of the most bizarre Warzone lag bugs we’ve seen. So weird that even jarstelfox felt rude killing the frozen, gravity-defying victim. Bugged Warzone player freezes mid-air As you can see in the clip, jarstel was looking outside with their Kar98k when they noticed an oddity. Amid birds flying and other people deploying, one enemy was simply frozen in place — parachute suspended. After looking at them for a little, jarstel finally shoots for the down. Then, while they’re still stuck in some standing mid-air pose, the Kar98 finishes the job. And no, it wasn’t satisfying for the sniper, who ended his Reddit title with some remorse: “I feel bad for them, honestly.” It’s pretty brutal when lag goes this far and apparently this victim isn’t the only one who’s experienced it. In the replies, ‘kikkeroku’ explained that they’ve gone through the same troubles. “Happened to me in Gulag a couple of times, no idea why. I have no connection issues and then just out of the blue everything freezes. And watching the killcam is exactly like this; I’m just frozen in there.” So, ultimately, maybe this is just outrageous lag and not a bug? But, regardless, it definitely feels a little worse than just your standard connectivity problems — and it’s completely bizarre to run into.

Bizarre Warzone C4 bug makes them absolutely useless Infinity WardCall of Duty players have found a strange glitch where they are unable to throw or detonate their C4 explosives in Warzone. While Call of Duty titles such as Modern Warfare require players to be accurate in their gunfights, their character’s lethal and tactical equipment can also play a massive role in giving them the advantage over their opponents. With the addition of Warzone, usually underused lethals and tacticals have played an increased role in the game, with it being revealed that C4’s are used by about 80% of battle royale players. However, it has been revealed that the most popular pieces of equipment has been failing to work properly in-game, making them useless for some Warzone players. This strange new glitch with the C4 is seemingly making it impossible for Warzone players to throw the lethal, despite their character going through a similar animation on-screen. An example of this bizarre bug was highlighted by u/badder_eend, who shared the clip on the Warzone subreddit on September 3. After spotting an enemy down below, the player attempted to throw their C4 but their character’s throwing animation seemed to fail, leaving them confused at what was happening. “Was going to throw a C4, I instead started coughing into my elbow whenever I pushed the button,” they explained. While the opposing player was seemingly unaware of badder_eend’s position, experiencing a glitch like this could be quite costly in a normal Warzone gunfight. As of now, it is still unclear what could have caused this glitch but, if it continues to affect other Warzone players, it is likely that Infinity Ward will look to issue a fix for the bug in a future update.

Bizarre Warzone bug turns window into bullet proof barrier Raven SoftwareA strange Warzone glitch is causing a specific window to turn into a bulletproof barrier that cannot be shot through from either side. Although it’s certainly not a major in-game bug, it has caught the attention of the game’s community. When it comes to battle royale games, Warzone is one of the most popular titles in the genre. From the expansive Verdansk map to the countless customization options available with loadouts, the game certainly has its strengths. However, a persistent issue for Warzone since its release has been the abundance of game-breaking glitches. No matter what patch or update is added by the developers, new or existing bugs slip through the cracks and affect the overall gameplay experience. Well, following the Season 2 reloaded patch, players have discovered a bugged window that somehow transforms itself into a bulletproof barrier from both sides. Warzone glitch makes window bulletproof A thread posted to the Warzone subreddit showing the bulletproof window bug has garnered nearly 500 upvotes at the time of writing. The issue appears to be limited to a single window located in Nova Grazna Hills. Although the glass in the window can be broken normally, an invisible barrier appears to be completely blocking any bullets from passing through. Reddit user Fatal-Symbiote tested the bug in a private match and confirmed that it blocks gunfire from both inside and outside. It’s worth noting that players can still jump in and out of the window as normal, so there’s no physical barrier blocking movement. By the looks of it, this glitch is currently only affecting the one window shown in the clip. Therefore, it’s not a major issue that will affect the majority of Warzone players. However, it’s still completely bizarre and is worth knowing just in case you find yourself in a heated gun in Nova Grazna Hills. Let’s hope Raven gets this fixed as soon as possible but it’s unlikely the window will be a huge priority for them with bigger issues affecting gameplay at the moment.

Bizarre Warzone bug turns player’s weapon into a dog ActivisionWhile Warzone has had its fair share of glitches, perhaps nothing can top this peculiar bug which is inadvertently giving players their very own K-9 unit, in exchange for one of their weapons. While Warzone has been plagued by the seemingly endless stream of cheaters since its launch. Whether it’s aimbots or wallhacks (or both), players often find their games are ruined by those pesky hackers who are taking advantage of Modern Warfare’s cross-play system. But while Infinity Ward’s battle royale has been welcomed with open arms by a large majority of the gaming world, there have been umpteen bugs which have also ruined players’ in-game experiences. From inconsistent visual bugs due to the gas in Verdansk to an infinite ammo glitch from using the Akimbo weapon perk, Warzone has most definitely had its fair share of issues — and Infinity Ward are hard at work trying to fix them. However, the most recent bug might be the most wholesome one of the lot — that is, if you’re a fan of Call of Duty’s four-legged superstar, Riley, who was reintroduced back into the franchise during Season Three of Modern Warfare. One Reddit user posted footage of a bizarre incident where their AX-50 Sniper Rifle turned into Ghost’s faithful German Shepherd after they were eliminated by the opposition. While the bug allows the player to ADS towards the enemy, as soon as they’re eliminated, they drop a Riley-shaped weapon model on the rooftop instead of the AX-50 that was in their hands. One Redditor explained that the bug is strictly visual and does not impact performance: “It just turns into the AX-50 in your hands. Whenever you drop it again, the dog model will appear.” While that is all well and good, Infinity Ward will likely want to get to the crux of the visual issue and resolve this as soon as possible. Or perhaps this is all part of the developer’s grand plan and we’ll be seeing Riley-themed skins in the store sometime in the near future?

Bizarre Warzone bug somehow lets players drive off after getting downed ActivisionA strange Warzone bug has reared its head after the Season 5 Reloaded update, allowing players to control vehicles from beyond the grave. Warzone’s Season 5 Reloaded update landed with a bang, and introduced plenty of weapon changes and new content for players to enjoy ahead of November’s Vanguard release and integration. Despite the addition of fresh and interesting content, like the new Iron Trials mode, there are still plenty of bugs and unexpected side effects circulating in the game — some of them funny, others much more frustrating. In another case of unintended glitches popping up, players have discovered that with some incredible timing (and a bit of luck, or misfortune depending on your view), they can manipulate vehicles after being downed by an opponent, resulting in some hilarious side effects. One Warzone fan shared a clip of their encounter with these ghost vehicles on social media, and confirmed that they “got downed while the car was stuck, [but] could drive off [without them] in it.” The footage showcased the player messing around in one of Warzone’s tactical rovers, having somehow managed to wedge the vehicle into a Big Bertha’s truck bed. The player then came under fire from a nearby building and was quickly downed. Afterwards, things started to get a bit off-track from what the player had expected. Their character model appeared next to the vehicle they had just been occupying. However, the camera remained stuck in the car’s viewpoint, like the player was still sitting in the vehicle — and as it turns out, the game appeared to think they were, in fact, still sitting in the driver’s seat. The downed player was still able to drive the car around, and showed off this unearthly ability by leaving their character behind and attempting to make a quick getaway in their newfound, invisible form. Unfortunately, they didn’t make it very far before the enemy team finished off their downed character, and the killcam finally rolled. The clip quickly caught traction with the Warzone community after they saw the player’s hilarious maneuvers first-hand. “What the actual f**k, I’d probably be p**sing myself if this happened [to me],” a fellow fan commented. While the issue isn’t noted on Raven Software’s Warzone tracker at the time of writing, they’ll likely catch wind of these incidents soon enough and issue a quick fix. Until then, be on the lookout for any ghostly vehicles prowling the streets of Verdansk ’84 or Rebirth Island.

Bizarre Warzone bug makes players slide uphill while aiming Treyarch/ActivisionA strange bug in Warzone is causing players to slide along walls on Caldera after they’ve mounted their weapon, and it’s even occurring uphill. The arrival of the Warzone Pacific update brought Vanguard’s huge arsenal of weapons to the battle royale, as well as introducing the expansive Caldera map. While on the whole, it appears the community is enjoying all of the new additions, there has been a fair share of bugs and glitches affecting the gameplay experience. Whether it’s teammates turning into lifesize grenades or massive visual bugs covering players’ entire screen, it’s safe to say the devs have got their hands full keeping Caldera in check. Well, now another issue has arisen and it’s causing players to slide infinitely along walls when they mount their weapon in certain areas. Warzone bug makes players slide along walls while mounted Sliding is a core movement mechanic in Warzone and if mastered fully, can even be used to gain an advantage and move quicker than your opponents. While on Verdansk sliding could only be achieved by sprinting, as discovered by Reddit user I_like_to_run__, on Caldera, a glitch seems to have opened up the possibilities. After approaching a wall on the Caldera map and mounting onto it to stabilize their aim, I_like_to_run__ began to slide up the side of the wall infinitely. The bug even pushed the player directly uphill and maintained a steady speed the entire time. It’s hard to know why this glitch is happening and whether it is only occurring in a single location. If it can be replicated, it could be used effectively in certain scenarios, particularly if the traveling speed is quicker than simply sprinting uphill. Either way, we’ll just have to wait and see if the devs think the bug is worth fixing, or whether it’s better to leave it in the game until a later date.

Bizarre Warzone bug makes players look like dead bodies Treyarch/ActivisionA strange visual bug in Warzone is tricking players into thinking their opponents are dead when in reality they’re waiting for the perfect moment to strike. Since its release back in 2020, Warzone has garnered a bit of a reputation for its bugs and glitches. While some are incredibly funny, others are completely game-breaking and extremely frustrating for players to experience. This is especially true when it comes to visual issues, as being able to identify that another player is alive and on your screen is key if you’re going to come out on top in a gunfight. Well, a recent bug discovered by a Warzone player is making enemies look like dead bodies whilst they’re prone. It appears to occur when the animation is obstructed by a wall or object on the ground. Warzone glitch is turning players into dead bodies A thread posted to the CODWarzone subreddit showing off a frustrating prone glitch has garnered over 2,500 upvotes at the time of writing. After ascending a set of stairs on Verdansk, Dutton90 noticed what they thought was a dead body laying on a plant pot in the corner. Although the dead opponent was in a bizarre prone-like position, it’s normal to see players fall into a strange angle once they’ve been killed. Ignoring the body, Dutton90 continued to climb but was quickly gunned down from behind by the player on the plant pot. It turns out after going prone on the object, a visual bug had made the player appear like a dead body and resulted in Dutton90 being swiftly sent to the gulag. While this isn’t a glitch that will be considered game-breaking by the community, it’s enough to annoy a lot of unsuspecting Warzone players. It’s likely Raven Software won’t be addressing this bug anytime soon, so make sure you’ve got your wits about you when you decide to pass a dead body. Who knows, it may be a sneaky enemy waiting for the perfect chance to strike.

Bizarre Warzone bug makes hitting headshots on Snoop Dogg impossible ActivisionSnoop Dogg hit the Call of duty scene with meteoric impact and players can’t step into a Warzone lobby without running into The Doggfather’s iconic mug at least once a game. Thanks to this disappearing head glitch, that might be more of a curse than Activision intended. There has been no shortage of weird bugs in Warzone’s history but this one might take the top spot in terms of impact on gameplay. While problems like spawning in the gas after winning your gulag are annoying, at least they can’t be forcefully replicated by devious players. This Snoop glitch on the other hand will almost certainly get taken advantage of by the less scrupulous of the community. Snoop Dogg’s head does a vanishing act in Warzone The bug occurs when using the Akimbo attachment on the Top Break pistol. In an instant, the Dogg’s head completely goes away, leaving opposing players to just guess as to where they’re shooting. As soon as the affected player switches weapons though, it’s business as usual for the franchise’s favorite rapper. This will certainly cause fits for opposing teams, but at least some players are finding humor in it as well. One commenter joked that you’ve got to take your advantages where you can get them in a game as dangerous as Warzone: “200 IQ play. No one can headshot you if you don’t have a head…” A similar problem (the Headless Horseman bug) popped up during the Season 2 launch but was quickly patched out. This kind of bug won’t last long, so anyone who wants to hop on the trends and freak out their friends should keep an eye on Raven Software’s Trello board for known issues and incoming fixes.

Bizarre Warzone bug makes Bounty contracts virtually impossible to complete ActivisionThe latest bug in Warzone Season 4 is causing bounty contracts to enter a bugged state where they become impossible to complete — even after taking out the enemy player marked for elimination by the game. Warzone Season 4 has largely been a smash hit, changing up the Verdansk ’84 map, adding new weapons for players to try (that were quickly hit by major nerfs for being too OP), and shaking up the game’s overall meta in a new and refreshing way. Despite the high points, Warzone’s newest season has not come without its own set of issues. Players are begging for changes to Dead Silence, while some parts of the new Red Door fast travel system were turning into death traps for unsuspecting operators. Now, another bug has seemingly been introduced, this time affecting bounty contracts. Shared by popular streamer ‘its_iron,’ the glitch is stopping players from completing bounty contracts no matter how many marked opponents they successfully eliminate. While streaming Warzone and playing with some of his fellow pros and content creators, Iron’s team picked up a bounty contract and set off for Farmland to hunt down their target. The streamer and his teammates quickly swooped in on their helis and engaged the enemy squad. After a brief firefight, all four opponents were swiftly eliminated, but Iron and his team quickly realized something was amiss. “Wait, the bounty’s still here,” one player remarked as the tracker remained on screen. “He went to [the] Gulag,” another teammate replied, after which Iron brought up his map and confirmed the bounty icon was still active, outside the playable area — but inside the Gulag. “Our bounty is in the Gulag, heck yeah!” Iron remarked sarcastically after realizing what had just happened. “Glad this game is bug-free,” he went on, joking with his chat and teammates about the near-constant presence of glitches in Verdansk. Even though Iron picked up on the bug, others did not. “How did we not kill our bounty?” one teammate asked, still confused. “He’s in Gulag, we did kill him,” Iron responded. “So it’s just bugged?” the other player questioned, and Iron confirmed that was indeed the case. While not as completely game-breaking as some other Warzone bugs we’ve seen, this is certainly an annoying occurrence, as players can waste precious time and resources hunting down marked enemies only to have nothing to show for their efforts in the end. It doesn’t appear that Raven Software is aware of the bounty contract issue at the time of writing, but they will likely catch wind of it soon and respond with a quick fix to make sure bounty contracts go back to functioning the way they were intended.

Bizarre Warzone bug makes almost everything invisible Activision[jwplayer ZXhyspDl]A strange bug has been affecting players in Warzone by making almost everything invisible including the vehicles, roads, buildings, and more. There have been a number of frustrating bugs and glitches in Warzone, but generally, they’re bearable, but this one really could ruin people’s games. As far as visual bugs go, there’s one that has been affecting players massively throughout Season 5 and the latter stages of Season 4, and that’s what people are referring to as the “demon glitch,” with weapons randomly having some kind of graphical error that make them look big and spiky, and occasionally impossible to ADS with. This is one that the Warzone devs have promised a fix is on its way for. This bug, though, isn’t quite as common but could be equally as frustrating given the circumstances. Whereas if your gun is glitching you could just go and pick up another one, this bug is making textures disappear completely in Verdansk, and that’s not something you can just quickly replace. As shown in the video below, freeyungal was trying to take his team across Promenade East and into the circle in a truck that he couldn’t actually see. While driving what appeared to be an invisible vehicle, almost everything else looked out of place too; one of his teammates was invisible, some parts of the road and ground were just blue and certain walls just weren’t appearing. It’s unclear what exactly is causing the issue at hand, and it’s not as common an issue as something like the demon glitch mentioned above. One commenter on the post said it had happened to them a few times and that the only solution was to reboot the game or their system, which would be massively frustrating if it were to start happening more frequently. Infinity Ward and Activision have yet to comment on the bug.

Bizarre Warzone bug is giving free victories to players stuck in Gulag Infinity WardA puzzling Warzone bug is trapping players inside the Gulag for such a long time that they’re outright winning battle royale matches. Gulag adds a unique twist to the battle royale formula as Warzone’s unique form of afterlife serves as a way for players to earn a second chance at victory. Rather than dying outright and calling it quits, players compete in 1v1s for a shot at dropping back into Verdansk once again. However, a bizarre glitch is keeping players trapped in the Gulag and handing out free victories. Late into a March 25 round of Warzone action, Reddit user ‘Brittn64’ found themselves in the Gulag with only five players left in the entire lobby. Left alone while “waiting for an opponent,” the countdown timer was stuck at zero while their teammates were left with nothing to do but spectate an empty Gulag. As Verdansk was overrun with toxic gas, the map became nothing more than a red-zone as the final zones completely shrunk. Leaving no safety except for the now-unreachable Gulag, the squad began to laugh as the final remaining players were taken out of commission. “Something’s gonna happen. We’ve waited this long,” they joked before miraculously earning themselves a victory they hadn’t done anything to achieve. “No way,” one player said in disbelief while the “Warzone Victory” animation came across their screen. “That is the best thing I’ve ever seen.” Confused as to how the glitch actually occurred, the last remaining player on the team outlined how they were dropped into the Gulag with “about 12 teams left.” “It never gave me an opponent and it never released me. I just assume the other team died to the gas,” they explained. While there’s seemingly no consistent way to replicate the bug, other players have also been reporting long trips to the Gulag without any form of competition to keep them company and give them a second chance. Infinity Ward is yet to comment on the issue, though it’s likely that such a severe glitch will be patched out in the immediate future.

Bizarre Warzone bug forces players to start in the Gulag ActivisionAfter dying in a Warzone game players get sent to the Gulag to fight for redeployment, but a wild glitch is forcing people to start their matches there instead. The Gulag is what makes Warzone a unique battle royale as players square off in a 1v1 to earn a second life. If you win your gunfight then you’ll drop back into Caldera with the loadout you won with and can link back up with your squadmates. However, a bizarre bug is taking away this second chance from people as they are dying right away and being thrown into the Gulag. Warzone bug kills players as they drop in The Warzone Pacific update brought the community a new map, weapons, and some unusual glitches. This Reddit clip, posted by ‘YoungSafavi’ displays how they were getting ready to drop into their BR match when the plane decided it wanted to rack up some kills. As seen in the video, the player simply hit their deploy button and was greeted with a death screen. Since this was in Vanguard Resurgence, they just had to wait out the timer and respawn into the map. However, if this were to happen during a normal match then it would send them straight to the Gulag meaning that they lose that insurance policy quite early into the game. Other players were reporting this issue as well and even claimed that it crashed their game. “Same happened to me and [my] team last night. Then it froze my PS5.” There is no way to tell what is causing this issue and at the time of writing this, Raven Software have not identified a fix for the problem.

Bizarre Warzone bug doesn’t show zone circle ActivisionA strange Warzone bug is affecting players by literally not showing them the zone circle — leaving them unaware of where to land or rotate. Warzone has become somewhat of a haven for bizarre bugs and glitches to arise, frustrating players on a seemingly endless loop, with the likes of the stim glitch and invisibility glitch regularly rearing their ugly heads. This issue, though, is completely random, and seems to be affecting the Buy Back modes — in the example here, BR Buy Back Solos. Following the circle is one of the most important rules of any battle royale game, but that looks incredibly difficult when there’s not even a circle for you to see. What’s worse in the instance here, and what makes it look to be a Buy Back bug and perhaps not one affecting every mode in the game, is that HungLikeALemur doesn’t spawn in with the standard $4500, essentially making the game significantly harder off the rip. While it’s not uncommon for the circle to be slow to pop up, occasionally, it does eventually turn up, hopefully not too long after you’re able to drop. It’s unclear for how long Lemur was unable to see the circle for and where he was meant to be going, but even after over a minute, there was no sign of it on the map. As you can imagine, this essentially ruins matches for people, but it doesn’t seem to be a particularly widespread issue just yet, with clips like these being more of a rarity than other common bugs and glitches. That said, it’s definitely something Warzone developers Raven Software will want to investigate to ensure it doesn’t become a more frequent thing, and hopefully prevent it from happening altogether.

Bizarre Warzone bug deploys players in outer space instead of Caldera ActivisionA Call of Duty Warzone player has reported a truly bizarre bug that dropped players in their lobby into outer space instead of onto the Caldera map. Warzone is one of the most popular battle royale titles on the gaming market. However, tons of content has gone viral from the shooter’s various glitches and bugs, many of which affect how players deploy onto the map. A new spawn glitch has popped up, showing players it’s possible to spawn into outer space instead of Caldera. Warzone glitch drops players into space A post to the Warzone subreddit from user tom_606 went viral for how absurd it was. Tom was preparing to drop onto Caldera in a Warzone match when instead he was dropped into outer space, unable to actually play out the match. He said, “So the plane decided to ditch Caldera and dropped us off the map.” Although Tom didn’t record the match to post, he did say that the entire lobby experienced the same glitch that put them in space. He explained exactly what happened, “The plane started on Caldera, but in a very weird spot, already by the top right corner. It did not allow us to jump at all, and just continued OUTSIDE of the map, North I think. Once we reached a certain point, it kicked all of us into the ocean and we died to gas.” One user joked in the comment section “Even the plane’s pilot doesn’t want to go to Caldera.” The bug was one of the more strange and game-breaking we’ve seen in Warzone, and briefly turned Call of Duty players into space-exploring astronauts.

Bizarre Warzone bug causes ground loot weapons to “flash bang” players ActivisionA new Call of Duty: Warzone bug is making the rounds and players are absolutely baffled, thinking their hardware might be at fault. In what has turned out to be an in-game glitch, random ground loot is… ‘flash banging’ gamers. Typically, ground loot serves a very useful purpose – as you can pick up guns and equipment that you’d otherwise need to rely on a loadout for. While taking your time to sift through stuff on the floor can be a risk, it’s usually relatively safe. That might be changing, though, as a new bug has been popping up for players across all systems. When approaching random pieces of ground loot, they’re finding their entire screens obfuscated by a mostly opaque white haze – much like a flash bang. In a video posted to Reddit, they showed the glitch in action and asked a simple question with their title: “What’s happening?” New Warzone ground loot bug ‘flash bangs’ players As you can see in the clip, the player approaches an MP-40 and, as soon as they’re about to reach the gun, their screen is immediately covered in white. The large cloud practically covers the entire screen and does so at all angles until the player moves away from the gun. While some thought the issue might be caused by an issue with PC hardware, the player explained that they were using a PS4 when it happened. Unfortunately, it doesn’t seem to be limited to console, either, as another commented saying they met the bug on PC as well. A number of others seemed to encounter this issue, too, with all saying it happened on Rebirth Island. At the moment, it remains unclear exactly what’s causing the bug, but it seems that locations like Harbor, Security, and Prison aren’t safe. Of course, people also joked about this weird glitch in the replies. One said the gun would turn you into a “walking flash bang,” while another warned “it’s Jesus Cristo appearing on you. Doomsday.” As far as answering the title’s question, someone else had a very uninspiring response: “The game is going to s**t that’s what’s happening.” There’s no word yet on a fix, but hopefully Raven Software add it to their to-do list pronto.

Bizarre Warzone bug accidentally gives players wall hacks ActivisionCheating is one of the most controversial topics in Warzone, and now the game itself is handing out free wall hacks as a result of a head-scratching glitch. [jwplayer bjQdhi3F] There’s no downplaying the impact cheaters have had on Warzone. From aimbotters to wall hackers and everything in between, hackers have run rampant across Verdansk for many months. Despite recent banwaves, hackers are still fairly prevalent throughout the game. While you might think you’ve encountered a cheater during a recent session, there’s actually a chance you bumped into a regular player that was gifted cheats instead. Without any third-party software, Warzone players can shockingly see enemies through walls. Not due to hacks and not with any malicious intent, but due to a confusing bug pertaining to the Gulag. Upon loading into the Gulag on February 16, nothing seemed out of the ordinary for Reddit user ‘chinitotuchman.’ The moment their round began, however, and they were instantly handed a win. “As soon as I loaded into the fight (but before it started) it flashed Gulag victory and I redeployed,” they explained. Now back in Veransk, they could see their intended Gulag opponent across the map. The enemy was outlined in red and clearly visible through walls. This led to an extremely easy kill as they peaked around a corner, no different from hackers who prey on clueless opposition. Read More: Best tips to help win your Gulag – Given how cautious the enemy was, and that they returned fire almost immediately, it seems likely this bizarre Gulag bug worked both way. The two players spotted each other across the map and soon had their 1v1. There’s no telling why this strange bug occurred nor how it can be replicated. The Gulag closing instantly is a rare occurrence but that’s not to say it’s the only issue. Read More: The worst Warzone glitches ever – Warzone players recently loaded into the Gulag with their own powerful loadouts. Not only that, but others have been able to teleport in and out of the underground location. The Gulag clearly isn’t perfect and this hack is just the latest in a long line of issues.

Bizarre Warzone 2 glitch turns cargo trucks into submarines ActivisionWarzone 2 players are turning trucks into improvised submarines thanks to bugged locations around Al-Mazrah. Warzone 2 glitches are a dime-a-dozen these days, but some crafty players may have discovered the most versatile one yet. The vehicles around the map already give players a level of protection while they zip around collecting kills, but the options for water-based travel are a lot more exposed than their land-operated counterparts. But what if you could take one of the fortified trucks under the water? Well, these operators have answered that question for us. Crafty Warzone 2 players turn armored trucks to submarines As their truck speeds right off the edge of the pier, these Warzone 2 players avoided the tragic end that normally befalls any truck that goes underwater. The driver is able to keep the pedal to the metal and cruise through the river. The bug can occur at several spots around the map, but the video embedded below takes place around the docks. This strategy is already striking fear into the hearts of players over on the game’s subreddit, where many are anticipating it becoming a go-to strategy in certain zones. “Oh this is gonna get absurd as fuck when circles go over there,” one commenter said. “Have to play the JAWS theme if you do it near people…” While it would be terrifying enough if this was the only location where the bug worked, there are reports of it happening in various places around the map. “There are a few spots like this. I’ve done this before on the canal in the middle. it seems to only be the truck though.” There’s no telling if/or when this exploit will be patched either, so the grim predictions about it becoming popular may very well come true. If it does, just remember to peer into the water every so often just so there are no surprises when it comes to the final circle.

Bizarre Warzone 2 DMZ glitch traps players in downed state after being revived ActivisionWarzone 2 players enjoying the new DMZ mode are being hit by a strange glitch that leaves them stuck in a downed position even after being revived by a teammate. DMZ has been welcomed by the community as a change of pace to the regular Warzone 2 battle royale formula. Heavily inspired by Escape From Tarkov, DMZ tasks squads of players with hunting for loot around Al Mazrah, battling AI and real players, before extracting safely. Despite the generally positive response, players have raised a few issues that they’d like to see resolved later down the line, including a change to the overpowered bots found across the map. Now, Warzone 2 fans have stumbled across a hilarious but frustrating glitch that’s ruining DMZ matches by leaving them stuck on the ground after being revived. Reddit user ‘Battlemike’ shared a clip of the bug in action to the Warzone 2 subreddit after he ran into the issue with the rest of his squad. After reviving one of his fallen teammates, rather than standing straight back up and rejoining the action, they continued to lay lifelessly on the ground. What made the glitch even stranger, however, was that they were still able to glide around while in the downed state. While undoubtedly funny to look at, the affected player was clearly confused as to what was happening, and even found themselves unable to fit through doors because of the bug. “Ain’t this a b*tch, what the f*ck is this sh*t?” the knocked player asked as they slid around the floor. “Listen, I can’t even leave the f*cking room.” Luckily, after multiple attempts from both teammates to try and pick up their friend, as well as plenty of shots and grenades, they finally stood back up properly and were back in the game. It’s unclear if they did something different that counteracted the bug or simply repeated the usual revive process over and over again. Even though the squad clearly saw the funny side, if an enemy team had stumbled across them while the glitch was in play, they would have been a man short in the fight and possibly eliminated. It remains to be seen if this is an isolated incident or the start of a recurring problem that needs to be addressed in the upcoming Season 2 update.

Bizarre Vanguard camera glitch completely flips the game on its head ActivisionMatches of CoD Vanguard can be tough enough without bizarre glitches and bugs interfering. But this is exactly what happened to one player who experienced a technical hiccup that turned their game sideways. Whereas Warzone Pacific continues to lap up all the attention thanks to its recent update to Rebirth Island, Vanguard is still moving along nicely. Sledgehammer Games’ World War FPS now has full ranked play for players to battle through, the devs are trying to fix the game’s spawn system, and the new Arms Race mode has shaken things up. The new CoD variation takes us nicely to the Vanguard glitch in question as certain actions seem to bring back the old broken camera glitch from Cold War’s Outbreak. Vanguard camera glitch breaks game The action in Arms Race can get very intense very quickly with 24 players competing to occupy bases and detonate devices. Add in some vehicles and you have a real recipe for destruction. This is why Reddit user MrNutCracko got more than they bargained for during a game of Arms Race. Just as the Vanguard player attempted to mount a bike, you could see the animation began to play out, but the bike was blown up simultaneously. The timing of the scenario was clearly a complete aberration in the game’s eyes as its solution was to turn the game’s camera completely on its side. Absolutely everything else seemed to work perfectly: aiming, firing, etc, there was just the tiny matter of the warped perspective. As many commenters attested to, this was a common problem in Cold War. One user explained what would happen and why: “It would glitch upon landing from a high jump, parachute landing, or even jumping off a shed. “It can go from just 15° off, but the more you move, or move your mouse, the more askew the viewing angle will get. It may be fun and gimmicky at first, but having it widdle down to 90° is trash. Even worse is a full 180° flip.” The circumstances around this version of the glitch are clearly different though, and, hopefully, this isn’t the start of the glitch making a full return to Call of Duty.

Bizarre Vanguard bug causes chaos by starting players in enemy spawn ActivisionA very strange bug in Call of Duty Vanguard is starting players in the enemy spawn, in one of the most game-breaking issues the game has faced yet. Vanguard officially launched on November 5, with players getting to explore the game in its entirety for the first time, testing out the new weapons and figuring out the unfamiliar maps. While the beta gave players a good idea of what to expect — and devs promised some tuning to the spawn system — it’s not all sunshine and rainbows in the opening days. In fact, the spawns are having a seriously strange moment, and it’s not clear what’s causing the problem. Vanguard players spawning on enemy side? Multiple players have reported that they’re actually starting matches in the enemy team’s spawn in Vanguard. While the Assault and Blitz Combat Pacing types are particularly prominent for players spawning near enemies mid-match, this bug is starting players in the opposing base, leaving them free to quickly pick off multiple opponents before they realize what is happening. BomberLeague was one victim of this strange bug, getting started in their game and running forwards before being immediately gunned down from behind. On the flip side, lilfurbabies was actually a beneficiary of this bug. As you can see in the clip below, they start playing before two enemies run past. Completely dumbfounded, he shoots them and manages to get four kills off spawn. What is causing this spawn bug? It’s impossible to tell what exactly is causing this, but both of the clips above are in Kill Confirmed matches on Desert Siege, so you might want to be cautious if you load into that map. The Vanguard beta also experienced multiple issues with spawn logic, prompting developers at Sledgehammer to release a hotfix. But, it appears some of those problems have carried over into the final release. It’s unclear yet whether it’s only this map and mode that is affected, but we can only hope it’s not too widespread an issue and gets fixed before long.

Bizarre “thumb glitch” is Warzone’s latest game-breaking problem ActivisionAnother new Warzone glitch has surfaced in Pacific Season 2, this time appearing to let operators’ thumbs completely obscure players’ FOV. As you’d expect, it is ruining matches and stopping players from being able to ADS. Call of Duty: Warzone has been an undeniable success, seeing over 100 million players drop into Verdansk and Caldera since its March 2020 release. However, to suggest it’s been a flawless journey would be incorrect. Amongst more minor problems, a couple of issues have haunted Warzone’s success: cheating and glitches. While the former has been tempered to some degree by RICOCHET anti-cheat, the latter seems only to be worsening across Season 2. We’ve actually seen the developers apologize for the state of the game, saying that the integration of three titles simultaneously has caused the game to become so ‘bloated’ they don’t know what’s causing issues. Now, players have been left scratching their heads by another major glitch, this time inhibiting ADS in any capacity and ruining matches as a result. A Reddit post from ‘tmac416‘ drew attention to the problem, saying: “Anyone else get this “thumb” glitch before? How do you make it go away?” Attached was a video showing gameplay, occasionally obscured completely when they player tried to ADS. Every time they did, the entire FOV became obscured by what looked like the operator’s thumb. Naturally, it made aiming completely pointless and normal gameplay impossible to achieve. The post quickly garnered a lot of attention on Reddit, sitting at over 500 upvotes at the time of writing. A number of players reported similar issues in Season 2 but, thankfully, there does appear to be a fairly simple fix. According to those who have experienced the ‘thumb glitch’, changing your operator is a pretty reliable way to fix it. Regardless, fans will want to see Raven address the underlying cause as soon as possible.

Bizarre Stopping Power bug is ruining Warzone & Modern Warfare matches ActivisionStopping Power has always been a huge point of contention among Warzone and Modern Warfare players, but now it’s been made even worse with this annoying bug. For the longest time, MW and Warzone players complained about Stopping Power being too powerful, which is especially frustrating in Warzone’s regular BR modes when you don’t have the ability to simply respawn and get running into the action again. As a result of these player frustrations, the Stopping Power field upgrade was removed entirely in November 2021, though it has since come back in different modes. With recent updates, though, Stopping Power has become a far bigger problem than before, as it is hurting players who use it almost as much as players who come up against it. According to multiple players of Modern Warfare and Warzone, this Stopping Power bug has seeped into both games, literally taking them out of the game and causing unnecessary deaths constantly. It’s unclear what exactly is causing the issue, but when players are using Stopping Power, it’s pulling up the loadout select menu, making them unable to move or fire back at enemies without closing the menu. While Stopping Power is only in the Plunder modes in Warzone right now, it’s becoming a debilitating issue for players in that mode who want to use the field upgrade, not to mention the MW multiplayer modes where having the fastest reactions is of utmost importance. How to fix Stopping Power bug Luckily, there is a solution to stop Stopping Power from pulling up your loadout select menu. As explained by one comment on Reddit, you should switch to your secondary just before the reload animation is done. Once you switch back to the weapon with Stopping Power, it should be fully loaded with the field upgrade and no menu popping up. Whether this is something the developers address in the next update remains to be seen, but for now, your best avoiding Stopping Power just in case of any issues.

Bizarre MW2 God Mode glitch unearthed using a Riot Shield ActivisionCall of Duty has seen a wealth of strange glitches over the last fifteen or so years but few are more bizarre than this Riot Shield-based MW2 “God Mode” bug. Modern Warfare 2 has been out for several days now and players continue to find new ways to break the game with each passing hour. From the “paper thin” walls of Breenbergh Hotel to the viral ‘bipod lunge’ bug that happens when a player goes prone against a car, it has been a pretty chaotic launch period. On top of that, this God Mode bug is one that’s situational, but once players meet the right conditions they can’t be killed for the rest of the game. Bizarre MW2 God Mode bug could absolutely ruin matches All it takes to initiate the bug is a Riot Shield and an enemy VTOL killstreak. While the second one is definitely a much bigger ask, if it all comes together, then the only thing left to do is stand out in the open and get targeted. Once the VTOL locks on, as long as its attack doesn’t kill the player carrying the shield, they are granted invulnerability but can still move around the map like normal. YouTuber Cartiier shows off the effect in the video embedded above. Once “God Mode” is active, he throws an explosive at his feet just to prove that his character isn’t taking damage at all. This obviously presents a major problem for the game, and as such, we don’t advise people to try this one themselves. There is always the risk that Infinity Ward cracks down on anyone attempting to purposefully replicate this as they have with game-breaking glitches in the past. A number of fixes have been implemented already so there’s no telling how long this particular problem might stick around.

Bizarre Modern Warfare Infected glitch is making players invincible Infinity Ward / Activision[jwplayer br5AuoVJ]Call of Duty players have found a strange glitch with the Reinfected Ground War mode in Modern Warfare which prevents survivors from taking any damage in-game. Infected has been one of the most popular modes for those looking to show off their survival skills and has been a fan-favorite in many of the past Call of Duty titles as well. The classic Call of Duty game mode was brought back to Modern Warfare through their new Reinfected: Ground War playlist, which features a chunk of the Warzone map, Verdansk, as the battleground. There have been five different maps added to this playlist such as Tavorsk District, Port, Boneyard, and more, allowing players to experience most of Verdansk in a survival-based game mode instead. However, Call of Duty YouTuber Bubs revealed there was one glitch on the Karst River Quarry map that is seemingly making Modern Warfare players un-killable. Bubs highlighted a simple wall glitch where players could go prone near the edge of the map and disappear inside of a rock on the outskirts of the map, making it nearly impossible for infected players to reach them. Topic starts at 1:36 Although it is possible to shoot enemies from inside this glitch, Infected players do not have any guns and their throwing knives do not pass through this rock. While this area is also available in Warzone, it does not appear to have the same effect in the battle royale mode as the Reinfected: Ground War playlist. The content creator pointed out that this unusual wall glitch makes it easier for players to pick up tons of kills in Infected and could possibly even help them earn a Tactical Nuke killstreak, which instantly ends the game. As this bug can deliver some game-breaking results, it is quite likely that Infinity Ward will be looking to issue a fix for it in one of their future updates. For now, there has been no update from Infinity Ward and the problem has not been added to their “known issues” list on Trello.

Bizarre Modern Warfare glitch is ruining players’ aim Update at 2:43 PM EST: A fix is ready to go for this bug. Unintentional. :confounded: We have a fix ready to go for this. — Ashton Williams (@ashtonisVULCAN) Call of Duty fans’ aim as they try to find kills. Modern Warfare officially released back on Friday, October 25, and while there have been complaints about the map design, the launch has been relatively smooth in terms of major glitches and bugs that could affect gameplay. One such issue has reared its head though, with a user on Reddit discovering that equipping a Weapon Charm can seriously harm your chances of finding a kill with your gun. In the post, the Reddit user tested both a shotgun and the AUG submachine gun, first with no Weapon Charm equipped, and then with one attached to the side of the weapon. The images show that when holding the weapon in a hipfire position, the spread is significantly lower with no Weapon Charm, making it easier to hit your shots if you’re firing the weapon without aiming down the sights. With the charm attached, the spread almost doubles in size, leaving players struggling to control their bullet pattern should they fire it at an opponent. The good news is that Weapon Charms don’t appear to have any influence on your weapon when aiming down sight, but rattling off a few hipfire bullets in close-combat situations can often be the difference between survival and death, so any effects that compromise your aim in that situation can be fatal. Infinity Ward has yet to address the problem publically, and currently, there is no timeframe for a fix. At the moment, the only way to avoid encountering this issue is to remove any weapon charms from your gun for the foreseeable future.

Bizarre Modern Warfare glitch lets players see through smokes Infinity WardA bug in Modern Warfare is letting players see through smoke grenades without the use of a Thermal Sight – and it’s not the first time people have run into the strange glitch either. After a smoke grenade releases its gas, people have noticed that you can still sneak a peek onto the other side of its cloud by looking through their weapon’s sights. But the bug requires players to use an indirect means of scouting out the opponent. A clip by Reddit user ‘Regr3tti’ shows them using an Integral Hybrid Optic but without looking down its attached 1x reflex sight. While the sight wasn’t being used, the reflection technology lens on it was still distorting the image behind it. At first, all it let the player peek at was the side of the broken plane. As they kept panning through the battlefield, they picked up what looked like the figure of a person. Well on the battlefield, Modern Warfare players generally take a ‘shoot now, ask later’ mentality to anything that moves. Following suit, Regr3tti readjusted their shot and unloaded a barrage of fire through the smoke, this time actually using the reflex sight. While Thermal Sights let players look through plumes of smoke with ease, the same can’t be said about the Integral Hybrid Optic sight that has an attached 1x reflex with no thermal tech. But that didn’t stop the player from spraying at the specter they managed to get a look at, basically voiding any impact the smoke grenade was supposed to have. Moments later their snapshot aim resulted in a dead opponent, though unlikely as it should have been. This isn’t the first time this bug has appeared in Modern Warfare, since it’s actually a problem that’s been patched before. User ‘kladda5’ said: “It’s been like that since launch, they fixed it for the Shield Turret and ignored the scope on weapons, IW is IW.” Though the Shield Turret’s bug was exactly the same in nature, it was more heinous in execution due to the killstreak’s large windows. In either case, Infinity Ward will likely patch out the bug as soon as they can to prevent unintended results with the sight attachment.

Bizarre Modern Warfare glitch is turning players invisible Infinity WardCall of Duty players have encountered a bizarre new glitch in Modern Warfare that is making enemies appear invisible while they are playing as Ghost. While launching Modern Warfare, Infinity Ward confirmed that the game would be a soft reboot of the popular Call of Duty subseries and wouldn’t extend the timeline from the original trilogy. Since then, there have been plenty of additions to the popular game that show off its roots to players who may not have been able to experience them. Once such addition has been a new operator in the form of Ghost. The SAS member appeared in the campaign of Modern Warfare 2 and his return in the new title was met with much fanfare. Yet, there appears to be a problem in-game that he is currently playing a part in. The issue was highlighted by Reddit user sp77ky, who posted a clip from a recent game of theirs to the Modern Warfare subreddit. While playing Search and Destroy on Picadilly, the Redditor had been walking from just in front of the Arcade position toward the shop in which you can usually find a sniper camping. As they crossed, there was no enemy in their way and the coast seemed clear. However, as sp77ky looked up a player using the Ghost operator was quickly on top of them, appearing right out of the darkness to slide past the Redditor and eliminate them with a quick burst of the shotgun. While some fans may point to lag or connection issues being the root of whats happened in sp77ky’s clip, it doesn’t appear to be the case considering how out of the blue the enemy just appears in their view. Of course, if it’s something that is specific to Ghost, it shouldn’t be too hard for Infinity Ward to address. If do they so, however, still remains to be seen.

Bizarre Modern Warfare glitch is giving players “unlimited XP” Infinity Ward[jwplayer JDHBpZxG]Call of Duty players have found a strange glitch with the Trials mode in Modern Warfare which is seemingly giving them free experience points (XP) to level up faster. Call of Duty is known for its level progression system and despite some changes to the classic prestige model, Modern Warfare still requires players to unlock new weapons and attachments by earning XP. It can often take a few matches of multiplayer modes or Warzone until you gather enough XP to level up but some players seem to have found a way around the long grind. It was revealed that one of the Season 5 missions in Modern Warfare’s Trials, which offers rewards for completing courses within a certain time, was giving players XP for failing the course. Call of Duty YouTuber Acez Gaming highlighted this glitch, adding that players could earn up to 22,000 XP in a minute if they have a double XP token activated. The content creator explained that simply dying to a sentry turret after shooting a target in the new ‘Shooting Range’ mission would reward you with three stars and plenty of XP. Acez demonstrated that despite getting notified that his Trial attempt failed, it somehow gave him the maximum reward after leaving the game. The YouTuber added that, by simply repeating this process, it could be quite a game-breaking glitch, giving players tons of free levels for putting in little effort. Although he claimed that it was an “unlimited XP glitch,” it does use up the trial tickets that you unlock through multiplayer games, meaning that it is not truly unlimited. However, the glitch itself is still quite ridiculous and it is likely that Infinity Ward will be looking to patch this bug in a future update.

Bizarre Modern Warfare glitch gives Scump ‘wallhacks’ during pro match Call of Duty veteran, Seth ‘Scump’ Abner, encountered a peculiar nametag glitch which revealed his opponent’s location through a set of closed doors during a pro match versus Dallas Empire. The launch of Modern Warfare brings the first franchised season in Call of Duty. In light of the new release, players have been getting to grips with brand new maps, guns and the revitalized create-a-class system. On top of the new meta, players are coming in off the back of the biggest roster shuffle in CoD esports history. So naturally, teams are grinding their way through tournaments to prove that they are the number one contenders for top honours this year. While playing with his new Chicago-based roster (rumored to be named the ‘Chicago Huntsmen’), Scump and co. found themselves up against Dallas Empire in Search and Destroy on Rammaza. With the map tied at one-a-piece and the bomb yet to be planted, the former world champ found himself in a sticky 3v4 situation. However, a peculiar glitch cropped up and gave Scump a helping hand in his efforts to secure the round. Rushing over to the A bombsite, Scump spotted Indervir ‘iLLeY’ Dhaliwal’s nametag through a set of doors located on the front of Construction. Stopping for a moment, Scump clocked this and used the intel to his advantage. After breaching the doors, the self-proclaimed ‘King’ had the millisecond advantage which allowed him to edge out the youngster and bring it back to an even playing field. Dallas Empire went on to trounce the Chicago Huntsmen 6-1, meaning that the glitch did not determine the outcome per se. Nonetheless, in a more heated situation where the game was in a final round and the stakes would be significantly higher, being on the receiving end of this glitch would infuriate the victim. It appears that Infinity Ward have their work cut-out in the coming months, and will be adding this to their ever-growing list of snags to address before the CDL season kicks-off at the beginning of 2020. Keep your eyes peeled on the official Modern Warfare subreddit for the latest updates and patch notes as they go live.

Bizarre Modern Warfare bug turns player ‘invincible’ A bizarre new bug has emerged in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare, seeing a player literally transformed into an ‘invincible’ state, where they are invulnerable to opponents. Since Modern Warfare’s October 25 release date, a number of glitches and bugs have emerged, as is to be expected with the release of any new title. Glitches have varied in severity, with some minor bugs regarding challenges and cosmetics becoming frustratingly common. However, on November 25, one Reddit user shared their experience of a serious invincibility glitch, which renders a player completely un-killable. Shared with the caption: “I turned invincible and I don’t know why”, the Reddit user is doing their best to show that they were not cheating, and simply experienced a game-breaking glitch. While playing Hardcore Domination on Shoothouse, the player calls in a Precision Airstrike before dying. They then respawn back into their own Airstrike and are killed again. This quick cycle of deaths and accidental suicide seems to trigger a glitch as the player is completely invulnerable upon respawn. However, not only can damage not be dealt to the player themselves, they are unable to damage opposition players too. The enemies were clearly were confused by the player’s new-found invincibility, and proceeded to accuse them of hacking. Reddit users were also left scratching their heads at the clips, with various suggestions coming forward. The most plausible seems to be that the game’s spawn protection – given to all players so they cannot be killed immediately off spawn – bugged and accidentally lasted longer than it was supposed to. However, this would not explain why the player could not deal damage to enemies too. It also appears that the player was unable to play any objectives while in their invulnerable state, with one Reddit user describing them like a “spectator with their own character model”. Read More: Top 10 Dr Disrespect Modern Warfare moments – Infinity Ward are yet to respond to the bug, but it amassed significant attention on Reddit as users tried to draw attention to it. Given the seriousness of the glitch, a patch will be a priority as soon as Modern Warfare’s developers are on it.

Bizarre Modern Warfare bug spawns Scrapyard players in ridiculous places Infinity Ward via PerrysRedditModern Warfare Season 4 brought another fan-favorite map, Scrapyard, to the latest iteration of the legendary series, but some players can run into a slight problem with its spawn locations. There’s been a few problems with spawns on reintegrated maps of the Call of Duty franchise. For example, Shipment was a map that many nostalgic fans were eager to explore, before being met with frustrating matches, unable to respawn without being in spots where they were immediately killed. It got to the point where even CDL pros were expressing their discontent at the state of the game, and it’s been trial-and-error from Infinity Ward ever since to achieve a worthwhile fix. Now, Redditor ‘PerrysReddit’ has found that the problem extends further than the reaches of the playable area of Modern Warfare’s new map, as it spawned them on a restricted part of Scrapyard without a chance to get back in. The C point on Scrapyard is located on the north-west quadrant of the map, but it seems like there’s an errant spawn point that can revive players just outside of the battlefield. After going down, since PerrysReddit’s team only had control of C at the time, they were naturally going to re-enter the game from that direction. Only problem was that the spawn took them a bit too far from the intended location, resulting in the player frantically trying to find their way back into Scrapyard. They hardly had anytime to react since the five-second timer demanding them to “return to [the] combat area” had started before they could even pull out their gun. This is something that more people are coming across in their first matches on the Season 4 map. Read more: How to unlock the minigun in Warzone – “It’s honestly possible that this map is just a quick edit of Boneyard and that spawn could’ve been a leftover spawn placement from Ground War,” user ‘FaultedPlace’ said. “I’ve tried to spawn on B and C plenty of times on that map only to actually spawn outside of the Scrapyard area.” There’s going to be plenty of people loading into the new season of Modern Warfare, and Infinity Ward could issue a quick patch update to rectify the problem.

Bizarre Modern Warfare bug lets players see through smoke One of the bugs discovered in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare allows players to unintentionally spot enemies through deployed smoke grenades. While Infinity Ward has already released numerous updates to address many of the issues Modern Warfare players have found since the game release, more potentially game-breaking bugs are being discovered that could ruin some fans’ multiplayer experience. One glitch that players have been recently taking advantage of in Modern Warfare allows players to spot enemies through smoke grenades, and pick up easy kills on unsuspecting opponents. This bizarre bug was shared by Reddit user, ‘adelinebotanica’ who tested out the extent of the glitch in a custom match and highlighted just how devastating it could be. The game-breaking bug requires players to make use of one of the more attainable deployable killstreaks, the Shield Turret, which can be earned after picking up just three kills in a row. Despite the fact this killstreak is considered by many to be one of the weaker ones available, with the help of this unintended function it could easily net players some free kills if positioned correctly in the safety of a smoke grenade. Although the sight of the deployable weapon is unable to look through the smoke, each of the shielded glass panels on the sides of the turret seem to completely disregard the effects of the tactical grenade on the map. With the help of the shielded panels allowing players to look through a large portion of the smoke, the user could have a pretty good sense of when the enemies are crossing into their fire when using the turret. However, even with the help of this unusual bug, there are limited spots on many multiplayer maps in Modern Warfare where players could best take advantage of the Shielded Turret, which is why it was considered to be one of the weaker killstreaks in-game. The turret glitch could be considered especially powerful in this Call of Duty after IW revealed that thermal scopes could not look through smoke for the first time, whereas previous titles would have provided an easy counter to players abusing the bug. It is unlikely that this bug will be in the game for much longer, as Infinity Ward has been quick to fix many of Modern Warfare’s problems so far since launch, and have taken a lot of feedback into consideration.

Bizarre Modern Warfare bug brings Warzone armor plates to multiplayer Activision[jwplayer gd7BhumN]A strange Modern Warfare bug is bringing Warzone’s armor plates to the game’s multiplayer modes — and nobody can figure out why. Warzone has been a huge hit as a battle royale spinoff of the Call of Duty franchise, but for all intents and purposes, the two are very much separated for the most part and fundamentally treated as two different games. Although you can do certain things in multiplayer to help yourself out in Warzone, such as level up weapons or unlock new skins, there’s not really anything you can bring from Warzone into multiplayer — at least, there isn’t supposed to be. It’s unclear how long this bug has been in the game for, or what’s causing it, but it looks like players are able to gain some extra health in regular multiplayer thanks to Warzone’s armor plates. As shown in the clip below, a hardcore game — where players usually have minimal health — was being slowed down by a player that survived much longer than he should have. Upon closer inspection, you can actually see the player has a little symbol pop up when hit — the same that appears when hitting enemies wearing armor plates in Warzone. The clip, posted by Blaine_0415, sees several shots and two melees finally finish off the enemy, which is simply absurd in any hardcore mode. As mentioned, there doesn’t seem to be any clear reason for this happening. It may be an intentional exploit made by the player to give themselves extra health, but it could also be an accidental bug that the player themself is also clueless about. It’s likely Infinity Ward will want to get this issue figured out and fixed as soon as possible, but thus far they are yet to acknowledge or comment on the issue — especially with Season 5 about to kick off.

Bizarre Modern Warfare 3 bug forces two players into an old-fashioned standoff ActivisionOne Modern Warfare 3 player encounters a hilarious bug during an execution, forcing both players into an awkward standoff. Modern Warfare 3’s early access beta is in full swing, throwing players into the next iteration of the shooter. Whether it’s the return to old maps such as Highrise or Favela or the rage-inducing “Battle Rage“, there’s plenty to experience in MW3’s beta. One player uncovered something new while playing the beta, although their experience was likely unintentional. An unlikely bug during an execution turns what should’ve been an easy kill into a comedic chain of events that left both players dead. Modern Warfare 3 execution bug turns an easy kill into a standoff The execution system has created plenty of memorable moments since it was introduced in 2019’s Modern Warfare. Plenty of videos and clips showed how wonky the animations can be, causing players to break the animation with little explanation. The latest execution mishap occurs to a MW3 player during a match of Ground War. Creeping up behind a foe and triggering the execution forces both players into an awkward standoff, where both members died after a strange “T Pose” encounter. While rare, this experience has been documented before, as plenty of executions have ended in this strange standoff. More players are bound to experience it, so try your best to avoid close-quarter executions such as the one above in the beta if you want an efficient kill on your opponent. As comedic as it can be, here’s hoping Sledgehammer Games can nail this bug down to keep it from happening too often and ruining the satisfaction that can come with executions. Call of Duty Modern Warfare 3’s beta is live now for PS5 players, and the full game releases on November 10.

Bizarre Modern Warfare 2 bug bans players from early access Campaign ActivisionA bizarre Modern Warfare 2 bug appears to be banning players from the early access Campaign, which went live ahead of the full game’s launch on October 28. Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 is edging closer, with fans able to delve into the early access Campaign and get a true feel for Infinity Ward’s 2022 title. While reviews have been generally positive, some players have expressed frustration with the Campaign’s launch issues and proposed multiplayer changes ahead of the full game’s release. A new glitch has also surfaced, reportedly banning players from the single-player game with little reason. Modern Warfare 2 glitch appears to ban player from early access Campaign Highlighted on October 22 by one player, they explained that they received a ban from the single player game without explanation. Attached was a photo showing an in-game ban notification, which reads: “Connection Failed. You have been permanently banned from playing on the Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2 servers.” According to the Redditor, their game stopped working randomly whilst their Steam Deck was on in the background. They denied cheating and said: “My Steam Deck was on, and logged into my account when I was playing. Was also alt-tabbing to check the safe code for the cartel mission, then the game crashed without any error.” While some did not buy the cheating denials, others suggested that it could be teething issues for RICOCHET, perhaps mistaking a player verifying files as trying to alter them. Activision have already promised an “upgraded” RICOCHET for the Modern Warfare 2 life cycle, but there’s been plenty of occasions in the past where players claim to have been wrongfully banned. Others claimed similar bans have happened to them too, suggesting the issue might be more widespread. Modern Warfare 2 releases fully on October 28.

Bizarre Combat Bow glitch in Warzone literally breaks cameras & walls ActivisionWarzone has integrated many aspects from Black Ops Cold War into the Battle Royale. Killstreaks can give players a huge advantage in Verdansk. However, players have discovered a game-breaking bug that ruins your camera view after using the Combat Bow. Killstreaks can be found in Warzone in various ways. Some are purchasable, available through ground loot, or can be found after taking a Red Door. The Combat Bow is an extremely lethal weapon in Warzone that requires precision. This streak shoots off explosive arrows that can one-shot players from miles away. Although this bow can be very helpful, this latest glitch is causing it to be deadly for the wrong reasons. Warzone Combat Bow glitch ruins FOV Lately, there has been a great debate over FOV in Warzone. Console players have been begging for a FOV slider, but this latest bug is really messing up the way people can see in Warzone. This Reddit clip posted by ‘devon380’ shows off this new game-breaking camera bug. The player shoots their Combat Bow and then, all of a sudden, they turn into a giant and can’t see normally. Their FOV is now way over the head of the character and they can no longer see their weapons. The player panics, vaults out the window, and runs around trying to figure out what happened. Even though they shot their last bow, while this glitch is occurring the player’s HUD still shows them using the Combat Bow. Although the player does not show them firing their gun, you can see their shadow, and their character is holding a gun, not the bow. While it is unknown why this killstreak is causing the camera to glitch out, it eventually does go back to normal, restoring the FOV the player has. However, the community still is unaware of the exact way to fix this when it happens.

Bizarre Cold War Zombies glitch lets players carry 8 weapons Treyarch/ActivisionA Cold War Zombies Mule Kick bug is giving players the ability to equip eight weapons with the perk, instead of the usual three. While there have been a series of exciting updates to Cold War Zombies since the game was released, one of the most anticipated additions was the Mule Kick perk. Introduced back in July, this perk gives players the ability to equip three weapons instead of the usual two. As any Zombies fans will know, this is a huge advantage heading into the later rounds when you need as many top-tier guns equipped as possible. Despite this, a strange bug seems to be making the perk a little more powerful than it should be, with players seemingly being able to carry eight different guns around with them. Cold War Mule Kick glitch allows players to carry 8 weapons A thread posted to the CODZombies subreddit showcasing a Mule Kick bug has garnered over 1,000 upvotes at the time of writing. After Reddit user SquidKnightXG picked up the perk, it didn’t take them long to realize that they could equip a few more weapons than they were supposed to be able to. Scrolling through their arsenal of weaponry, it soon became obvious that they were holding a total of eight separate weapons. While this glitch would be great news for anyone looking to reach a high-round, it’s certainly not how the game intended the perk to function. For now, it’s completely unknown how this glitch even occurred and whether players will be able to exploit it during their matches. Having eight weapons to hand is certainly better than three, and with the Zombies community always looking to beat their previous record, this is a glitch Treyarch will need to address as quickly as possible. However, with a string of issues affecting the mode following the Season 5 update, it’s hard to know whether this Mule Kick bug is at the top of the dev’s list.

Bizarre Cold War Zombies glitch forces players to run around upside down Treyarch/ActivisionA strange bug in Black Ops Cold War Zombies is turning the perspective of players upside down, leaving them completely disorientated. While some players enjoy the Multiplayer side of Black Ops Cold War, others prefer tearing down hordes of undead enemies with powerful weapons in the Zombies mode. As the matches get harder and harder as the rounds go up, it’s important players are always aware of their surroundings and ready for an enemy to come out of nowhere. Unfortunately, recently a lot of Zombies players have been struggling with a bug that’s completely flipping their perspective upside down. Although it’s relatively easy to fix, it’s enough to get a player killed in a high-round which can cause a lot of frustration. Cold War Zombies bug is disorientating players With hundreds of undead enemies closing on your position at all times, camera issues in Zombies can be a death sentence, as showcased by Peufect on the CODZombies subreddit. After attempting to jump off a ledge and deploying their parachute, Peufect’s perspective completely flipped, forcing them to run around upside down. It’s hard to know what caused this glitch to happen, but it appears to be linked with the parachute animation as it occurs as soon as Peufect opens it up. While most players affected by this glitch would die quickly, Peufect manages to run around the map until the helicopter arrives, giving them an escape from the glitch and the zombies. According to other players in the thread, fixing the issue is as simple as entering a vehicle or riding a zipline, but even that can be difficult when your camera is flipped. This is definitely a bug that is going to impact players on high-rounds, so hopefully, Treyarch will find a solution as soon as possible. Luckily, it appears the flipped perspective glitch is limited to Zombies and isn’t affecting players in Multiplayer modes.

Bizarre Black Ops Cold War exploit completely removes sprint-fire delay Treyarch / ActivisionA strange exploit has been found with the Gung-Ho perk in Black Ops Cold War, which removes the sprint-fire delay from all weapons in-game. As with other online multiplayer shooters, Call of Duty players, typically, have to have quick reaction speed in order to win gunfights and pick up kills against the enemy team. While this reaction time can be difficult to improve, some players have found another way to gain an advantage over their opponents with a bug that allows you to fire the first few bullets even earlier. This exploit was found with the Gung-Ho perk, which allows players to shoot their weapons while sprinting. The Cold War perk has been a go-to for those who love to run and gun, but this new bug completely cuts out the time it takes to start firing. One Redditor u/b3nb0i shared this unusual glitch with the perk, revealing that, with the help of lethal equipment such as semtex, it’s possible to cancel the sprint-to-fire delay on a gun. Usually, even with the Gung-Ho perk equipped, there is a small delay in the time it takes to straighten the weapon from the sprint position to be ready to fire. However, with semtex or another piece of equipment in-hand, the gun is already in a position to fire and cancels the delay, making it quite deadly in any gunfights. It is worth noting that it is not possible to ADS while using this exploit and that players would have to rely on their weapons attachments to make their shots more accurate. While this strange exploit does require some getting used to, it could still be quite overpowered particularly on maps with short-range engagements such as Nuketown, especially as the grenade will drop if you’re taken down – like how the Martyrdom perk used to work. As of now, it is unclear whether this was intended to be a feature in Cold War but, if it is found to be a glitch it will likely be patched by Treyarch in one of the future updates.

Bizarre Black Ops Cold War bug makes care packages go missing ActivisionA bizarre bug in Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War is making care packages literally go missing after being called in. Like any other game, Black Ops Cold War has not been without its bugs since launching back in November 2020. In the past, we’ve seen players losing camos that they’ve worked hard to earn, as well as people’s VTOL scorestreaks freezing in mid-air. This one, though, is taking away our sacred care packages, causing them to simply not drop into the map, and it’s not clear how or why this bug is occurring. The Care Package costs 2000 score in Black Ops Cold War, so while it’s on the lower end of the scorestreak scale, it can swing a game either way due to its ability to drop high streaks. If you’re lucky enough to pick up something like a Chopper Gunner, it could solidify your win, while pulling an RC-XD or Counter Spy Plane is a little disappointing. Because of this gamble, it’s always exciting to see what comes out of your Care Package — but what if the streak never even turns up? While we’ve all encountered them landing on roofs or out of reach places, this clip below from liokazar on Reddit sees it seemingly not drop out of the drop ship at all, with the plane just flying off without delivering the goods. At first glance, it seems the Care Package probably just landed on the roof, but you can see no outline of it or icon of a scorestreak up there, which suggests it simply never dropped out. This is confirmed by liokazar in the comments of the original post, too, saying that there was no signifier that the care package was up there as there usually would be. This is definitely a bizarre one, and is hard to figure out what exactly had happened — but Treyarch may want to confirm whether or not Care Package helicopters are ignoring the one and only job they have in the game.

Bizarre Black Ops Cold War bug is making players fall through maps ActivisionBlack Ops Cold War players are facing an issue which is seeing them completely fall through the maps in the game, and nobody knows why. [jwplayer NOdtwdVj] As with any new release, Cold War is not without its bugs. Players claim that the game is giving them free Dark Matter camos and, perhaps worst of all, even bricking their Xbox Series X consoles. One of the major complaints about BOCW has been the lack of maps, with just eight being available at launch — and matters are about to get even worse for Treyarch if this bug persists. In multiple clips, we’ve seen players simply falling through the map and dying, and it doesn’t seem bound to one particular map either. The first clip embedded below shows Sturmbrecher64 on Reddit playing out of their spawn on Garrison. After moving behind some barrels for protection from incoming gunfire, Sturmbrecher just drops right through the floor, even granting his enemy the kill! Sturmbrecher isn’t the only victim, though, as professional player Dylan ‘Envoy’ Hannon of OpTic Chicago also found himself flying under the map randomly when trying to hold spawns on Moscow Hardpoint. Call me Clay but I lost us spawns😭 pic.twitter.com/Ugh2fCpIaP — Ultra Envoy (@DylanEnvoy) November 22, 2020 Needless to say, he didn’t hold the spawns, and actually isn’t the first major problem pros have found on Moscow: his OpTic teammate Matthew ‘FormaL’ Piper actually found himself stuck in a glass window, unable to move when attempting to rotate to a different bombsite, with the only option being to throw a nade at his own feet or — in this lucky instance — have Envoy ‘punch’ him out of the spot. It’s not clear yet whether these points specifically on each map are causing problems for players, or if it’s random, but it’s evidently something that is an issue across the game in general, so Treyarch will likely be finding ways to fix it up as soon as possible.

Bizarre Black Ops Cold War bug gives players free killstreaks ActivisionCall of Duty: Black Ops Cold War has officially dropped and millions of players are getting to grips with it, working out the new maps and weapons and theorizing how certain aspects could fit into Warzone when the game becomes fully integrated. [jwplayer 38QHhqzR] One thing that has seen a massive overhaul, though, is the scorestreaks system. Rather than having to go on a long streak of kills to earn your rewards, scorestreaks now continue to build up through lives. The jury is still out on what the general perception is of such a drastic change, but for now, there may be bigger issues regarding streaks that need to be addressed. While it seems to be in isolated cases, Black Ops Cold War might be randomly giving players free scorestreaks without even earning them. As you can see below in this clip from CoD streamer DiamondRyce, he gets killed while playing on Satellite, and is greeted with a very special gift upon respawning. In a match where he and his teammates are being somewhat dominated, the announcer says that there’s a hostile Attack Helicopter entering the map before respawning and getting points for destroying a chopper. Not only that, but he then starts earning Attack Helicopter kills despite having definitely not called one in, and the symbol on the side of the screen is even highlighted to suggest he earned it. Obviously, Ryce was just as confused as the enemy likely was, watching their high-end scorestreak go rogue and turn on themself and their team, but he likely won’t complain at the free kills. The bigger question now is, how did this happen? Did DiamondRyce accidentally find a legitimate exploit that lets you steal enemy streaks, or is it a pure accident that can’t be forced and recreated? Either way, it’s something Treyarch will be looking at and trying to fix in the coming updates, so hopefully it’s sorted sooner rather than later.

Bizarre Black Ops Cold War bug completely ruins Search & Destroy matches ActivisionA strange bug in Black Ops Cold War Search & Destroy is ruining players’ matches, not granting the victorious team the win they’ve worked for. BOCW has not been without its bugs since release, with players frequently making complaints from minor issues to PS5 consoles literally being bricked by the game. It’s safe to say that players have felt disenfranchised by the game at times, and many find it increasingly frustrating as more bugs pop up. This one, though, seems slightly more rare, affecting Search and Destroy matches exclusively, and it doesn’t make much sense why. Reddit user Z5_Nog posted about his sour experience playing the one-life game mode, saying that this “ruined their night.” As they explain, their team won 6 rounds — which constitutes a win in S&D — but the game simply kept going. The match continued, Nog says, until the opposing team also reached 6 round wins, at which point it declared a draw, ignoring the fact that Nog’s team reached the point limit first. At the time of writing, it’s not clear why this happened to Nog and his team, though one comment in response did say something similar happened to them before, albeit to their benefit. It’s possible that the lobby simply bugged out and this was a very rare occurrence, though how exactly that happens is hard to decipher. Perhaps some very specific criteria are hit in the match which triggers a weird response, though that is purely speculation. Needless to say, Treyarch will no doubt be looking at this and wondering what could have gone wrong and how they can fix it. That is, once they’ve finished dealing with the negative reaction to League Play.

Black Ops 4 glitch makes players unkillable on Hacienda – Treyarch respond TreyarchTreyarch have responded to a bizarre Black Ops 4 glitch that appears to make players completely invulnerable when they occupy a specific spot on Hacienda, a map that is currently being played in the 2019 CWL Championship. Black Ops 4 is nearly at the end of its life cycle, with the majority of the CoD community eagerly anticipating Modern Warfare, but that hasn’t stopped players from noticing problems in Treyarch’s FPS. One particular glitch was brought to the community’s attention via Reddit, when one user asked, “what game am I playing?” Attached was a bizarre clip of the player shooting an enemy for a few seconds, but no hits were registering. As the clip shows, the enemy appears to be invulnerable while they are crouched behind the counter in Hacienda’s garage. Hits start to register as soon as the player moves, leading to the suggestion that the spot is glitched and makes players invulnerable. The clip was picked up on by Josh Torres, Communications Coordinator at Treyarch. “Thank you for sharing this video,” he replied. “I’ve passed it and the thread along to our team.” The response from Treyarch suggests that it is an issue, and one they will be trying to patch for the remainder of Black Ops 4’s life cycle. The clip was responded to by another user, who stated that they experienced a similar issue a few months ago. In another video, they encounter an Ajax hiding behind his shield (surprise), in the exact same spot in Hacienda’s garage. However, the player has the angle on the Ajax, and shoots them in the side. Despite this, no hits are registered, even though the player is clearly missing Ajax’s protective shield. Both clips combined certainly point to a serious glitch with that particular Hacienda spot. What’s more concerning for players is the fact that Hacienda is currently a map being used in the 2019 CWL Championships. It is used for both S&D and Hardpoint, with the garage being the second rotation in Hardpoint. The CWL Championships enter their final day on August 18, with only four teams left in the running. 100 Thieves take on Team Reciprocity in the Losers Bracket, while OpTic Gaming face eUnited in the Winners Final. You can stay informed on all CWL Championship results and news at our dedicated hub. While there have been no issues with the glitch spot so far, we hope it stays that way at such a pivotal point in competitive CoD.

Bizarre ‘black hole glitch’ in Warzone is totally ruining matches Xbox One ScreenshotCall of Duty Warzone players have been encountering a strange glitch that wipes everything from their point-of-view, leaving them with a black hole-like box that swallows everything in sight. On March 10, Call of Duty made its second dip into the battle royale genre with the addition of Warzone to Modern Warfare. The multiplayer mode, which is also free-to-play to those who don’t own Modern Warfare, has been a hit, with over 30 million players dropping in for at least one game. However, that hasn’t stopped problems from rearing their heads. Players have run into issues with being spawned in the deadly gas, not seeing items from enemies who have died and disconnected, as well as dying to the rocks in the gulag. Yet, the most deadly glitch of all might be a ‘black hole’ that appears on players’ screens. The glitch, which doesn’t happen right off the bat in-games and takes a few circle collapses to show up, takes a part of a player’s screen and turns it completely black. For some, like Reddit user Survilus, it apparently happens in every single match that they play, ruining the chance to win gunfights and get one over on an opponent as they’re cowering in a corner trying to address the issue. As of right now, there isn’t a real fix for the problem, but players have found that they can look away from the gaping black hole and try to look elsewhere for a moment in order to fix. Of course, that doesn’t quite do the job if you’re stuck in a firefight with an enemy or having a Cluster Strike rain down on you from above. The bug is one of the major four that were picked up by Infinity Ward when they revealed which issues they were working on fixing for future updates. Yet, as of writing, they haven’t quite managed to get it addressed and the glitch is causing players to lose out on their matches in Warzone. When it will be fixed, though, remains to be seen.

BitterSweet Return for CWL Anaheim with a New Call of Duty Roster North American esports organization BitterSweet have announced their return to competitive Call of Duty for CWL Anaheim, replicating their same move from last year’s season. BitterSweet’s last involvement with Call of Duty esports came at last year’s CWL Anaheim, where they fielded that roster that later joined Ghost Gaming – Michael “SpaceLy” Schmale, Andres “Lacefield” Lacefield, Devin “LlamaGod” Tran and Chance “Maux” Moncivaez. Despite the team managing a top 12 placing and their spot at Stage 2 of the Global Pro League and the Call of Duty championship, the deal the roster had with BitterSweet was only intended to last for the one event. BitterSweet have since gone through a rebrand and have been fielding teams in Rainbow6, but are now making their full return to Call of Duty – just in time for Anaheim once again. Recruiting an amateur roster but one with a lot of potential talent, the team will have to grind through the open bracket if they are to make themselves known – and better yet qualify for the LCQ for the Call of Duty championship. The players have all been competing throughout the CoD: WWII season, but with limited success at the major open events, Nick “Hate” O’Connor managing the best placing so far with a top 32 finish at both CWL Seattle and CWL Atlanta, while playing for Earthroot Gaming. The roster also includes other up and coming players Eric “JetLi” Phan, Jesus “HumanJesus” Hernandez and Devin “Demise”. We’re excited to welcome our new Call of Duty team to the BitterSweet family!@ERlCJET @HumanJesus7 @DevinDemise @NickHatee We look forward to the noise we make at #CWLANAHIEM.#CupCakeSquad pic.twitter.com/kilefcYehA — BitterSweet (@BitterSweetGG) June 4, 2018 The team already played the most recent CWL 2K together, where they managed a top 16 placing, eliminated by eventual runners up Lightning Pandas. Regardless, they should be heading into the CWL Anaheim with a good seed, considering the roster has played at the previous open events throughout the 2018 season. It remains to be seen if they can surprise the competition like BitterSweet’s last CWL Anaheim roster.

BigTymeR explains OpTic departure in emotional video BigTymeR YouTube / MachinimaCall of Duty since 2014, long-time fans will remember his dominant playing career with OpTic that earned him nine championships in five years. At one time his accomplishments made him the highest-earning Call of Duty player with over $400,000 in winnings. Since his playing career, BigTymeR has essentially led the spirit of the OpTic brand with YouTube videos and content creation of all kinds. But changes in OpTic has signaled that it’s time to move on from the Greenwall. His September 8 announcement looked back at some of the best moments in his OpTic career both as a player and content specialist, while delivering a heartfelt goodbye to the brand. “Officially as of September 1st, I am no longer a part of OpTic Gaming,” BigTymeR said after noting special projects in the works as the reason for his small YouTube hiatus. “I think most people have come to that conclusion.” Although it seems like he’s in good spirits, the former OpTic member noted the tragic irony of him announcing the news in the Texas city. “What do I say?” BigTymeR said. “I’m here in Dallas. It’s funny because Dallas was the place that (Hector ‘H3CZ’ Rodriguez, Matthew ‘Nadeshot’ Haag, Seth ‘Scump’ Abner, Joe ‘MerK’ Deluca) and I all decided to do the original OpTic house and move to Chicago. ” The setting for a decision that eventually exploded the Greenwall into prominence “was the final resting place for OpTic Gaming,” according to BigTymeR. (Timestamp at 3:16 for mobile viewers) While BigTymeR believes that the new management taking over OpTic “seem to be pretty capable” and that the name “is in good hands,” he noted what every fan has been feeling: that it’s just going to be different. There has been a massive exodus of world-class players and talented content creators from the Greenwall ever since the Immortals Gaming Club acquired OpTic-parent company Infinite Esports in June 2019. Notable members like Marcus ‘MBoZe’ Blanks and Davis ‘Hitch’ Edwards have similarly left the org, as massive restructuring was imminent after IGC’s purchase. It wasn’t all bad news for BigTymeR fans however, as he reassured his following that he’ll be ramping up the content again soon.

BigTymeR opens up about the challenges he’s faced over the last 9 months Retired from Call of Duty since 2014, Will “BigTymeR” Johnson’s dominant playing career with OpTic earned him nine championships in five years, but now the former pro is looking past esports. At one time BigTymeR’s accomplishments made him the highest-earning Call of Duty player with over $400,000 in winnings and one of the faces of OpTic Gaming, even after he retired from playing. But in September 2019, changes at OpTic signaled it was time for BigTymeR to move on from the Greenwall and do his own thing. In a new video the former pro and coach talked about the changes coming to his YouTube channel, with a new focus on gaming. “The last nine months, I had an idea about the direction I wanted my channel to go, and it started great,” he said. “I started making more challenges, lifestyle videos… I still wanna upload those types of videos, I don’t want to abandon them completely, but I’ve come to the realization that I just can’t stay consistent with that type of content.” He also opened up about some of the challenges he’d faced in 2019, which affected the amount of content he was able to put out on YouTube. “I’ve been in a mental rut for the last couple of months but I’m trying to f*ck my way out of it,” BigTymeR joked. “This is all to say, I’m bringing back the gaming videos.” “I just want to become more consistent again,” he continued. “There’s no worse feeling than wanting to upload content and either like, not knowing what to upload or just, you kind know and you’re not doing it.” BigTymeR sticking to his word Since making the above video, BigTymeR has indeed uploaded several gaming videos of Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order, Planet Zoo and more on his YouTube channel. With all the changes at OpTic and in professional Call of Duty in general during 2019 it’s good to see one of the OG’s of the sport sticking around with a plan for the future.

Big upsets to end CDL Stage 5? | CDL Reverse Sweep Preview Show Dexerto With the Call of Duty League’s 2021 season winding down, the final week of Stage 5 is now underway. Our Reverse Sweep crew of Ian ‘Enable’ Wyatt, Jonathan ‘Pacman’ Tucker & Katie Bedford are here to preview all the biggest matchups and make some more bold predictions ahead of the Major. The Seattle Surge Home Series is already underway as the final week of Stage 5 kicked off with a bang. For every squad, it’s the final opportunity to secure a better seed not only for the Major, but for the all-important Champs event. Unsurprisingly, teams are giving it their all and we’ve already seen some huge results. Before the rest of the action continues, our Reverse Sweep crew are here to preview the final games and reveal their hottest takes in the lead up to the final Cold War events. Which teams may struggle in their final matches? Who really needs to turn it on before Champs? Here’s what our expert panel had to say. How will New York Subliners fare without Clayster? After @ParisLegion get finished off by @HyDrAnml 🇫🇷 pic.twitter.com/uJmYQPfwXJ — Dexerto Esports (@DexertoEsports) July 22, 2021 Day one kicked off with New York’s first game in Week 3. While it was a nail-biting affair, the squad clutched up and secured a Game 5 win without Clayster in the starting lineup. From here on out, just one match remains as they’re set to collide with Atlanta FaZe on the final day. Ultimately, both Enable and Pacman believe they’ll lose the last game, but one of two things could come following that potential defeat. “I think they’ll lose but I think we’ll see a resurgence from NYSL,” Pacman argued. Meanwhile, Enable looked further ahead and claimed they might “not rebound” after. “I’m worried about them,” he said. “I wouldn’t be surprised if they have a disappointing Champs.” How will Group B shake out in the final week? While Group A is a little more solid, Group B remains up in the air part-way through the final week. Anything could happen as these final games play out, but one thing appears certain in Pacman’s mind: “[Toronto] will take that number one spot.” “Toronto have just looked so good all year,” Enable added. “I think they’ll beat Florida and the standings are going to stay exactly how they are now.” If that’s the case, Toronto could very well be starting the last Major in the winner’s bracket alongside OpTic from the top of Group A. Players to watch in Week 3 of Stage 5 Look at Foam Runner @scump, man. So inspirational 👑https://t.co/7Mkiu0xnOO — Dexerto Esports (@DexertoEsports) July 22, 2021 While the first games are already in the book, all three of our Reverse Sweep hosts have players or teams they’re keeping a close eye on through the rest of the week. For Pacman, he’s stoked to see FormaL return to his old form. “He’s showing flashes of it again and making huge plays.” With one game left, he’s hoping to see this championship-contender form moving into the Major. “I have to go with SlasheR,” fellow 100 Thieves member Enable chimed in. “LA Thieves still have control of their destiny, they need to win against OpTic. He wants a statement in this series.” Last but not least, Katie will be paying attention to all of Florida in their final games. “They’ve looked better” in recent games, and she’s confident they can “do some damage to Toronto” in their final showdown. Bold predictions for the end of Stage 5 With eight games left on the calendar, possibilities are still wide open ahead of the Stage 5 Major. As a result, Enable believes a “three-way tie in Group B” could actually come to fruition. If Minnesota “clutches up” the standings could get “real weird” as the Seattle Home Series winds down. “I think I believe that Paris is gonna end up in winner’s bracket,” Pacman said. Despite their opening loss to New York, a final win over London could be enough to push them up the standings. “I don’t see LA Thieves winning against OpTic,” he added, potentially paving the way for the underdogs. How can the LA Guerrillas & Seattle Surge rebound in 2022? Toronto or London? 🧐@PacmanJT feels the Ravens could improve by changing tactics.#CDL2021 Biggest Mover | Presented by @KontrolFreek. pic.twitter.com/cLw7urMc7B — Dexerto Esports (@DexertoEsports) July 21, 2021 Looking beyond the current season for the teams locked out of Champs, Enable and Pacman put together a strategy for two teams in particular. For the LA Guerrillas, their top priority should be signing a “superstar,” according to Enable. One name that could tick the box is Huke. “They have a lot of bankroll, they’re also located in LA… I would do everything to get Huke next year.” Read More: CDL 2021 Power Rankings – Meanwhile, for Seattle, Pacman would completely wipe the team “with the exception of Octane. He needs just one top player with him” and Seattle could build towards a considerably better team for the 2022 season.

Big Names of the Call of Duty Community React to the Black Ops 4 ‘Community Reveal Event’ – Nadeshot, CouRage, BigTymeR, and More! Various Call of Duty community members have given their initial reactions to the Black Ops 4 ‘Community Reveal Event’ which provided the first look at the upcoming title. Set to release on October 12th, Call of Duty: Black Ops 4 has already generated a massive amount of hype throughout the community following the ‘Community Reveal Event.’ Although not much was known about BO4 prior to the event on May 17th, fans and community members alike were shown the first look at in-game features such as Multiplayer, Zombies, and the all-new Battle Royale mode. Following the myriad of information that was included during the broadcast, a variety of community members voiced their opinions in regards to different aspects of the game, with a handful able to be viewed below. TmarTn Oh yeah and it’s 5v5 now. Didn’t notice it at all though. Maps were definitely smaller and pushed more action for fewer people. — TmarTn (@TmarTn) May 17, 2018 OpTic CouRage Black Ops 4: -Boots on the Ground -Fluid movement -Totally reimagined Zombies -Battle Royale mode called “Blackout” -League PlayOctober 12th can’t come soon enough. — OpTic CouRage (@CouRageJD) May 17, 2018 NoahJ456 OpTic BigTymeR This Call of Duty looks like it’s going to introduce a lot of the CoD community to Rainbow Six gameplay and weaponry, so then they can just go play Rainbow Six. — Will Johnson (@OpTic_BigTymeR) May 17, 2018 Nadeshot Wish we had more focus on Multiplayer since I don’t follow or play Zombies at all. Still looks pretty insane, though. — 100T Nadeshot (@Nadeshot) May 17, 2018 FaZe Agony I’ve never been more excited for a Call of Duty in my life holy fuck. @treyarch just set the fucking bar — FaZe Agony (@Agony) May 17, 2018 KOSDFF So awesome seeing the COD youtuber community together and hyped af. We all want COD to come back in a huge way and who better to do it than BO4 :raised_hands::skin-tone-3: — Justin Chandler (@KOSDFF) May 17, 2018 Hutch TTK = time to kill. You really have to hit a lot of shots before you get a kill. Good tracking is more important than flicks. — Hutch (@z0mgItsHutch) May 17, 2018 Clayster I trust Von and the 3arc team the most out of any dev, but I have this sinking feeling that recoil patterns are going to be absolutely fucked. Just don’t see how a recoil pattern is gonna translate to an analog stick well. Excited for the change, but I can already see issues. — eU Clayster (@Clayster) May 17, 2018 Crimsix CAN’T WAIT FOR OCTOBER #BO4 #BlackOps4 What was your favorite part of the reveal? — Ian Porter (@OpTic_Crimsix) May 17, 2018 Drift0r Black Ops 4 opinion after playing for 2 hours: It plays really well, especially on the new control mode. I’m aware fans are already pissed about the trailer, specificalists ect. All of that aside, the actual gameplay is really fun despite being different from a normal CoD. — Drift0r (@Drift0r) May 17, 2018 Octane Black Ops 4 actually looks incredible. League play, genuine recoil patterns, FKN BATTLE ROYALE, and it’s BOTG. It’s nice to be excited for a CoD before release — Sam Larew (@Octane_) May 17, 2018 Parasite That was incredible I can’t wait to see more multiplayer gameplay. I can’t wait to see more on Black out (Battle Royale). I’m excited for improved health regeneration, predictable recoil and so much more. Treyarch never fails to impress. Unreal stuff #BlackOps4Reveal — Christopher Duarte (@Parasite) May 17, 2018 Censor Apathy No lie though this looks like a game I can GRIND, especially with league play back and even Blackout. Very excited! — EG Apathy (@Apathy_BZ) May 17, 2018

Big CoD YouTubers fear Warzone will die without change: CouRage, Drift0r & more Activision/YouTube: Drift0r, CouRageJDA number of big Call of Duty YouTubers, streamers, and personalities have expressed the fear that Warzone could be on its way out, causing serious concern for those who love the game and build their content off of it. Warzone has arguably been the biggest game in the world for some time now. At least on Twitch and YouTube, it has been huge for building careers and making the biggest creators even bigger. But amid growing complaints regarding stale content, frequent bugs and glitches and, most of all, the rampant hacking issue, interest in the game has slowly waned. You can see that in the slowly deflating viewership numbers and the discourse around Warzone, especially in comparison to competing games such as Apex Legends. What are YouTubers saying? It’s not just the average player growing frustrated with the game, though, and now the top creators are speaking out against the issues that have been so prevalent. Drift0r posted a video on August 1 discussing the future of Warzone, saying that the game is “going to have to shape up a lot if they are going to survive Battlefield 2042 or any of the other new FPS games coming out.” TheXclusiveAce echoed a similar sentiment, saying that it could be “game over” for Warzone when Battlefield and Halo Infinite come out, while CouRage simply explained why so many streamers are quitting Warzone for other games. Why are streamers quitting Warzone? We’ve seen a number of the biggest names in Verdansk switch up their content. The likes of NICKMERCS, Cloakzy, TimTheTatman and more have been dabbling in games such as Apex Legends, offering a break from Warzone, something they’ve clearly been waiting for. The main issue is one that we’re all sick of: hacking. While devs Raven Software have frequently done ban waves to ban cheaters, but the lack of a real, active anti-cheat software has been a huge gripe. On top of that, as XclusiveAce explains, there have been “no major changes to the core gameplay of Warzone,” while CouRage points to the intense SBMM and lack of ranked play in the game, comparing it to Apex Legends. Needless to say, both regular players and top content creators alike are worried about the future of Warzone, and it may be crunch time for Raven to make some serious changes in the game.

“Big-brain” Warzone trick is now ruining players’ Gulag duels ActivisionThe infamous Warzone spray trick has officially gone full circle, with players now suffering the consequences for getting too cute in their Gulag 1v1s. Back in April, a sneaky Warzone trick began making the rounds across the internet: you spray a soldier on the wall and wait for your opponent to begin aiming at it before popping up and securing the easy kill against a distracted foe. The spray, which features a soldier with gun in hand, was released as part of Modern Warfare’s Season 3 update. It quickly became popular for laying traps, both in the subterranean Gulag and far aboveground. Even with this strategy being in use for weeks, people have still been falling for it. Within just the past week, Reddit clips have popped up showing unaware opponents shooting blindly at the wall graffiti. In one particularly egregious example, shown above, Infinity Ward was prompted to reply: “Working as intended!” But, at long last, we appear to have reached the finish line for this silliness. Going full circle, players who set the trap have now become the victims of their own devices. In the best example yet, Redditor ‘blitzkriegjro23’ saw the spray and quickly changed course, flanking around and easily killing the crouched, waiting trickster. He was kind enough to apologize in the clip’s title, though: “Sorry guy, I use this subreddit too.” Watch: Tips & Tricks for Warzone Wins from World Record Holders The problem with pulling off the spray maneuver is obvious enough, as you need to sit there in silence so as not to tip off your existence to your opponent. And, since you need to be hidden and facing the wall art to get the kill once someone gets distracted by it, your positioning options are limited. This benefits player who are aware and well versed in the tactics that become popular across CoD’s various internet communities. Those combatants can see a static, miniature soldier against the wall and either flank so that they snag the first shot (or flashy finishing move) on the hidden, patient artist or, more annoyingly, just hang out in the middle and secure the flag. Winning in the Gulag can feel like an art form, but players should now be careful of bringing art to their duels.

Big-brain Warzone trick could help you easily win your Gulag duel ActivisionWarzone players have devised an unbelievably clever trick to help fool your opponent in any Gulag duel. Here’s a rundown on how you can use the cheeky tactic as well. Warzone’s Gulag offers a unique addition to the tried and tested battle royale formula, one that allows players to earn their way back into the fight. The 1v1s can get heated as a result, but a few genius strategies have popped up since the game’s release. From tactical body-paint, to lethal rock-throws. However, a new tactic is taking the Gulag by storm as players have figured out an incredible way to trick the competition. It can easy to lose track of your opponent in the midst of a Gulag duel, especially when rocks are being thrown your way by impatient bystanders. This clever trick could help you trick your opponent into a hilarious trap, however, and all you need is a single spray. Painting a dimly lit wall with a soldier spray has enemies shooting at absolutely nothing. Giving away their position all while wasting their ammo as well. So long as you’re hidden away out of sight, you can quickly swoop in for the cleanup kill as Reddit user ‘mertino11’ showcased with their “2000 IQ” play. The spray shows a soldier at the ready, aiming a weapon and imitating a similar stance to that of in-game character models. It can be surprisingly easy to confuse the two in a fight-for-your-life Gulag battle. Coming in at almost the same height as a typical operator as well, it’s no shock that players are wasting ammo and firing at the spray in hopes of an easy kill. This particular spray is a new addition to the game thanks to the Season 3 update. You can grab it for yourself at tier 14 of the latest battle pass. Be sure to keep your eyes out when you next find yourself in the Gulag, as enemies could try to use this strategy against you. At the end of the day, you won’t want to end up on the receiving end of this Warzone spray trickery.

Biffle reveals dominant World Series of Warzone loadout after tournament victory If you want to try and replicate Team Biffle’s success in the World Series of Warzone, you’ll need to use his Kastov 762 and Lachmann Sub class. So, here’s how you set them up. The $1.2 million World Series of Warzone event was the first big competitive LAN for Warzone players – CoD Next events notwithstanding – after four years of the battle royale being around. Players from across the globe had the chance to qualify for the Global Finals in London, however, it was Team Biffle – Biffle, Shifty, and Sage – that ran away with the win after six maps. They scored a whopping 218.2 points, with second-placed Team HisokaT24 only amassing 143.4 points. Biffle’s squad ruthlessly outplayed everyone with their rotations and zone control, including an incredible winning moment where they scaled up a rock face to get high ground to secure the win. And, of course, he had a loadout that packed a punch in his back pocket. Team Biffle’s best Kastov 762 & Lachmann Sub loadout for Warzone 2 If you want to copy his WSOW winning loadout then you’ll be picking up two of the most popular weapons in the game – the Kastov 762 and Lachmann Sub. His squad also used the Signal 50 pretty consistently in their successful run too, but we’re focusing on Biffle here. Given that these two are pretty meta weapons, you’ll likely have your own setups for them, but may require some tweaks to match Biffle’s setup. On the Kastov, he goes with the SZ Recharge-DX optic, instead of the more popular Aim OP-V4, for example. The other attachments, the Sakin Tread-40 muzzle, FTAC Ripper 56 underbarrel, and 40-round mag are more widely used. Kastov 762 Barrel: KAS-10 584mm Barrel – Muzzle: Sakin Tread-40 – Underbarrel: FTAC Ripper 56 – Magazine: 40 Round Mag – Optic: SZ Recharge-DX – In the case of the Lachmann Sub, it’s also a pretty standard build. The likes of the VLK LZR 7mw laser, the deadly Hollow Point rounds, and FT Mobile Stock are all included. Where it does differ from more meta loadouts is the barrel. Biffle goes with the Lachmann Pulsar where players typically use the Falcon barrel. Lachmann Sub Laser: VLK LZR 7mw – Barrel: Lachmann Pulsar – Ammunition: 9mm Hollow Point – Stock: FT Mobile Stock – Magazine: 40 Round Mag – Just copying Biffle’s class isn’t going to propel you to winning games right away, you are still going to need some serious in-game skills. But, it will help.

Bevils and SlasheR think changes need to be made to Black Ops 4 Search and Destroy Team Envy’s Call of Duty coach Embry ‘Bevils’ Bevil believes there is one major change that needs to happen to improve Black Ops 4’s competitive Search and Destroy game mode. Bevils posted a TwitLonger, discussing the fact that when a player enters a Search and Destroy game, all of the equipment that player has selected, like concussions or frag grenades and special issue equipment, are not available to use, but instead begin on a cooldown timer. The coach believes this will lower the quality of gameplay in S&D, as he feels the lack of utility available to players in early rounds will discourage tactical strategies. He also states that the rounds in-between players gaining their equipment will be “boring”, as players will likely stick together and attempt to out-trade their opponents when they have no equipment to work with. Bevils thinks that allowing players to spawn in with their equipment ready to be used every round would allow teams to create strategies based around the use of utility and see players move away from grouping up to trade kills. Read More: 100 Thieves’ Octane reveals his initial reactions after getting dropped from OpTic Gaming – 100 Thieves star Austin ‘SlasheR’ Liddicoat and Patryk ‘Rallied’ Salata, who is a well-known member of the Search and Destroy, community both agree that the mode could be improved in Black Ops 4. SlasheR responded to say that he wants an old-school tactical feel from games like Ghosts and Modern Warfare 3 to return, while Rallied thinks Tac Mask and Flak Jacket need to be buffed before Bevils’ suggestion can be implemented. I just want a ghosts/mw3/ old school tactical snd back… im afraid the game mode may never be played like that again tho — 100T SlasheR (@SlasheR_AL) October 16, 2018 yeah nades are fine i think if they make flak like normal. stuns should be a little less insane and tac should work like it used to on top of that — Bevils NV (@bevils1sg) October 16, 2018

Better than Karma & FormaL? Aydan reacts to Dr Disrespect praise | CharlieIntel Podcast #11 In Episode 11 of the CharlieIntel Podcast, battle royale superstar Aydan addresses the bold praise he recently received from Dr Disrespect, which caused quite the stir on social media. Dr Disrespect recently raised a lot of eyebrows in the world of online gaming, particularly in the Call of Duty community, after he made bold comments claiming Aydan “could be the best controller gamer the world has ever seen.” He called the former Fortnite pro “something else,” while insinuating that he was above and beyond the likes of Karma and FormaL, two CoD legends (and in the case of FormaL, also a Halo standout) who most consider to be the ‘GOATs’ (greatest of all time) in the console/controller scene. I was looking at my trophies and a controversial humble thought came across my bullet proof mullet.@aydan could be the best controller gamer the world has ever seen. I mean, there’s me, the Lamborghini, @DKarma and @FormaL in the conversation BUT, Aydan is something else. — Dr Disrespect (@DrDisrespect) November 22, 2020 When asked about it on the CharlieIntel Podcast, Aydan admitted to feeling very honored to be given such praise from the Two-Time and humbly named off some other controller players who he felt also deserved such recognition. “It’s very honorable, of course, especially from Doc, how big he is,” he said on the CharlieIntel Podcast. “I think there are a lot of other talented controller players out there. For example Shotzzy, he won a Championship in Halo and CoD recently. FormaL also played Halo, so I definitely give them a lot of props. “I’ve played Fortnite and Warzone and I’ve been doing well so I understand where he’s [Doc] coming from and on top of that, the world record game, which probably convinced him a little more. But I’ll take it, I’m happy with that.”

Best ZRG 20mm Warzone loadout: Class setup, Attachments, Perks ActivisionThe ZRG 20mm Sniper Rifle is among the most powerful in Warzone following the Season 3 buffs and nerfs. Here’s how you can set up an optimal loadout to take full advantage of the devastating ZRG in CoD Warzone. The ZRG sniper arrived in Season 2 of the Black Ops Cold War and Warzone integration, with many top players quickly flocking to the weapon. However, it quickly fell off, became lost in the shuffle, and succumbed to regular favorites such as the Kar98k and Swiss. A wave of buffs and nerfs in Warzone Pacific Season 3 completely changed the game though, leaving meta Sniper Rifles redundant and essentially reintroducing several others into the fold — the ZRG 20mm being a proponent of this turn of events. To ensure you’re making the ZRG 20mm the best it can be, here’s our best CoD Warzone loadout for it. Contents Best ZRG 20mm Warzone loadout: Attachments – Best ZRG 20mm Warzone Class: Perks & Equipment – How to unlock the ZRG 20mm in Warzone – Alternative to the ZRG 20mm Warzone loadout – Best ZRG 20mm Warzone loadout: Attachments Attachments Muzzle: Agency Moderator – Barrel: 43.9” Combat Recon – Laser: SWAT 5mw Laser Sight – Ammunition: 5 Rnd – Rear Grip: Airborne Elastic Wrap – The ZRG 20mm was a solid sniper at first, though a handful of changes were implemented as part of the Season 3 Reloaded patch. Some were positive upgrades while others nerfed various stats like ADS speed and Bullet Velocity. For starters, Bullet Velocity needs the Agency Moderator Muzzle and the 43.9″ Combat Recon Barrel. Unfortunately, this comes with a rather hefty downside to your already slower ADS speed. Therefore, two key attachments are needed to counter these effects. Equipping the SWAT 5mw Laser Sight along with the Airborne Elastic Wrap Rear Grip will drastically improve your ADS speed. Combined, you’ll be scoping in faster than ever before, despite nerfs to stop you from doing just that. Additionally, we like the 5 Rnd for its magazine as we want enough bullets in the cartridge without sacrificing other key stats. Best ZRG 20mm Warzone class: Perks & Equipment Perk 1: E.O.D. – Perk 2: Overkill – Perk 3: Amped – Secondary: MAC-10 – Lethal: Thermite – Tactical: Heartbeat Sensor – As for the rest of the loadout, you can’t go wrong with the typical setup. Rocking a beastly SMG like the MAC-10 will keep you ready for close-range fights when someone gets a bit too close. Meanwhile, for Perks, we like E.O.D to help you tank any incoming Grenades or similar weapons and Overkill to get you rocking the aforementioned MAC-10 from the get-go. Furthermore, Amped will get that MAC-10 in your hands faster than normal if you’re in the middle of a fight. For Equipment, we like Thermite as it’s a multi-purpose tool that can inflict damage and even kill if thrown correctly. To go with it, it’s hard to argue with the Heartbeat Sensor to sniff out nearby threats. How to unlock the ZRG 20mm in Warzone Acquiring the ZRG 20mm is relatively easy as you just need to hit two longshots in 10 different matches with snipers in either Cold War or Warzone. The Cold War community is still very much alive with Treyarch continuing to support the game post-launch. Otherwise, Rebirth or Plunder will be a perfect way to achieve this challenge. Alternative to the ZRG 20mm Warzone loadout If you’ve given the ZRG 20mm a go and feel it’s not working out between you, then another Sniper Rifle like the HDR might be a solid option.

Best XRK Stalker Warzone loadout: Class setup, attachments, perks, more The XRK Stalker has become a great option in Warzone following a series of changes, with the sniper rifle now being one of the best marksman weapons you can use. Snipers in Warzone are seriously strong, causing the meta to be largely defined by them, especially on larger maps like Urzikstan. There are several snipers to choose from that are all effective, but the XRK Stalker is arguably the most underrated. While the Kar98k dominates medium range and the KATT-AMR can one shot from anywhere, it’s the XRK Stalker that provides the most balanced stats of any gun in its class. It may not excel in any one particular area, but this rendition of the real-world CDX-50 is the most versatile sniper rifle available. This has resulted in its becoming increasingly popular, as more and more players are beginning to use the XRK Stalker. If you intend to join the party and see what the hype is all about, you’ll want to be using a meta loadout for sure. Best XRK Stalker Warzone loadout Muzzle: Sonic Suppressor XL – Barrel: Fission 60 Barrel – Laser: SL Razorhawk Laser Light – Ammunition: .50 Cal High Grain Rounds – Bolt: XRK Stalker Light Bolt – Since the XRK Stalker is a sniper rifle, adding the Sonic Suppressor XL is a great option to add damage range and bullet velocity, maximizing the distance that it remains effective. This continues with the Fission 60 Barrel, with an even bigger increase to the weapon’s range and bullet velocity. It’ll also mitigate the aiming idle sway, meaning you won’t have to rely as much on holding your breath to land headshots. The SL Razorhawk Laser Light massively increases two key handling stats, including a 9% boost to ADS Speed. Being able to scope in faster is useful as it gives enemy players less time to evade shots. Next up is the XRK Stalker Light Bolt, which hastens rechambering speeds by a staggering 50%, greatly increasing the XRK Stalker’s fire rate. Finally, the .50 Cal High Grain Rounds improve the weapon’s damage range and bullet velocity without adding any significant drawbacks. Best XRK Stalker class: Perks and Equipment Perk 1: Sleight of Hand – Perk 2: Double Time – Perk 3: Quick Fix – Perk 4: Resolute – Lethal: Throwing Knife – Tactical: Smoke Grenade – Sleight of Hand is a must-use with this sniper due to its rather slow reload speed. Equally, the XRK Stalker isn’t the most mobile weapon in the world, so the improved tactical sprint Double Time provides makes it a great choice. Using Quick Fix will help you keep your health topped up when it matters most. As a sniper, you will often have people shooting back to suppress you, so being able to get your health back in these tense moments is important. Resolute speeds up how fast you can sprint after getting hit by an enemy shot. This boost will often help you survive an otherwise lethal encounter, especially in situations where you are in an open area with little to no cover. Having the Throwing Knife with you can be the difference between life and death thanks to its high damage, and the Smoke Grenade is a great option to hide your position when you are under fire or need to resurrect a downed teammate. How to unlock the XRK Stalker The XRK Stalker is unlocked in Warzone by activating it in the Armory and then completing 3 Daily Challenges or winning three matches. Best XRK Stalker alternative in Warzone The KATT-AMR is another one-shot sniper that sees a lot of use in Warzone. While has slower handling than the XRK Stalker, the KATT-AMR can one shot down at all ranges making it a true marksman weapon. There are plenty of powerful Sniper Rifles that are dominating Warzone’s current meta, so be sure to check out the meta loadouts for the Kar98k and MORS to rack up kills with ease.

Best XRK Stalker MW3 Loadout: Class setup, attachments, perks The XRK Stalker is one of the strongest weapons in MW3, especially when used with a meta loadout that takes advantage of its incredible damage. When it was introduced back in Season 1, the XRK Stalker quickly became everyone’s favorite sniper. It wasn’t as well received in Warzone due to its previous inability to one shot down, but it has always been a great option in multiplayer. The XRK Stalker is a powerful weapon that offers both fantastic handling and a reliable one-shot kill. This makes it a top-tier primary that can dominate on every MW3 map as long as you hit your shots. It has only gone from strength to strength, with huge buffs in Season 5 making it the most consistent sniper rifle in the game, bettering even the KATT-AMR. Best XRK Stalker MW3 loadout Barrel: Handler LKP Short Barrel – Laser: SL Razorhawk Laser Light – Optic: SP-X 80 6.6x – Stock: No Stock – Bolt: XRK Stalker Light Bolt – When building an XRK Stalker, the number one priority is to make its handling as fast as possible. The most impactful attachment for this is the SL Razorhawk Laser, which is a better version of the FSS OLE-V Laser that used to be meta. The XRK Stalker’s ADS Speed can be improved further by using both the No Stock and Handler LKP Short Barrel attachments. No Stock is a particularly strong attachment, as it boosts several key stats like aim down sight speed, sprint to fire speed, and movement speed. It’s also recommended to use a meta optic like the SP-X 80 6.6x. This is a great scope that is zoomed in to an ideal magnification for multiplayer, while also providing a clean reticle that is easy to use. Last but not least is the XRK Stalker Light Bolt, which boosts the gun’s rate of fire. A faster fire rate makes the sniper more forgiving if you either miss your opening shot. Without this attachment, you will rarely get off a second shot before being gunned down, making it an essential pick. Best XRK Stalker class: Perks & equipment Vest: Overkill Vest – Gloves: Marksman Gloves – Boots: All-Terrain Boots – Gear: Threat Identification System – Lethal: Throwing Knife – Tactical: Stun Grenade – Field Upgrade: Dead Silence – The Overkill Vest works great with the XRK Stalker, as it lets you use another primary weapon to cover its weaknesses up close. We recommend partnering it with a meta SMG like the Superi 46 or Static-HV for the best loadout possible. Equally, the Marksman Gloves are also a great option with any sniper, as they reduce idle sway and flinch while aiming in. This added precision can be further enhanced by using Threat Identification System, a gear slot perk that automatically pings enemies whenever you aim at them. All-Terrain Boots are a less obvious option, increasing movement speed at the cost of disabling Tactical Sprint. As the XRK Stalker’s sprint to fire speed is so slow, you’ll be avoiding Tactical Sprint anyway, making this perk a surprisingly good choice, even if you don’t intend to run around quick scoping. A Throwing Knife gives you an emergency lethal that can be thrown to secure kills in a pinch, while a Stun Grenade is ideal to slow down enemies pushing you, turning the fight in your favor. Finally, Dead Silence is the best overall Field Upgrade, as it silences your footsteps and provides a small mobility boost, which is perfect for when you want to play more aggressively. How to unlock XRK Stalker The XRK Stalker is unlocked through the Armory accessible from Level 25 onward, by activating the sniper rifle and then completing three daily challenges or winning three games. Best XRK Stalker alternative in Modern Warfare 3 If the XRK Stalker doesn’t work for you, then the MORS is another strong alternative, with the railgun sniper offering both a forgiving one-shot kill and great handling stats. For more options, be sure to check out MW3’s current meta, as well as the best assault rifles in the game. You’ll also want to make sure you are using the best controller settings and best PC settings to streamline your experience and rack up kills with ease.

Best XMG loadout in Black Ops 6 beta: Class setup, attachments, perks DexertoThe XMG is one of the most underrated guns in the Black Ops 6 beta, as it becomes incredibly powerful if you use a meta loadout with Call of Duty’s newest LMG. It might be the only machine gun available in the Black Ops 6 beta, but the XMG doesn’t disappoint. This heavy-duty weapon is a fantastic option, offering both a fast time to kill and great range. When used correctly, this gun dominates the XM4 and even goes head-to-head with the Jackal PDW. Its slow handling makes it a bad fit for run and gun playstyles, but it is an excellent option for those who want to play slower and punish overly zealous opponents. Out of the box, the XMG isn’t that great, so you’ll need to use certain attachments to fulfill its true potential. Here’s the best build for the gun, as well as the optimal perks and equipment to partner with it. Best Black Ops 6 XMG loadout Optic: Kepler Microflex – Muzzle: Ported Compensator – Magazine: Fast Mag II – Rear Grip: Quickdraw Grip – Fire Mods: Rapid Fire – The XMG is a powerful weapon, but it does have some drawbacks. Most notably, its slow handling can make it difficult to use in a fast-paced game like Black Ops 6. To fix this, equip both the Quickdraw Grip and Fast Mag II to greatly improve its aim down sights speed and sprint to fire speed. To make the XMG more consistent you’ll also want to use the Ported Compensator. This powerful muzzle attachment improves vertical recoil, making it easier to keep shots on targets. Equally, a good optic like the Kepler Microflex is an excellent choice on the XMG. It helps keep your sights as clear as possible to avoid missing shots and being outgunned. This is especially useful in long-range gunfights where extra precision is often needed. Rapid Fire is another meta attachment that you want to use. When equipped, it improves this gun’s rate of fire, improving its time to kill. A faster TTK is always beneficial in Call of Duty, and the XMG is no exception. Best Perks, Equipment & Combat Specialty for XMG loadout Enforcer is the best all-around Combat Speciality in Black Ops 6, with it providing a buff to movement speed and health regen after every kill. The movement buffs are particularly useful with the XMG, as they help mitigate its low mobility stats. To get these benefits, you’ll need the following perks and equipment: Wildcard: Perk Greed – Perk 1: Assassin – Perk 2: Gung-Ho – Perk 3: Bankroll – Lethal: Frag – Tactical: Stim Shot – Field Upgrade: Trophy System – Perk Greed is a fantastic wildcard that lets you use an extra perk for free. You’ll want to use this extra slot on Flak Jacket, which reduces incoming explosive and fire damage, improving your survivability. Your three base perks all need to be red perks to get Enforcer’s benefits. Of the available red perks in the beta, Assassin, Gung-Ho, and Bankroll make the most sense with the XMG. Assassin marks enemies on a kill streak, giving you bonus points if you manage to take them down. As for Gung-Ho, it reduces movement penalties and lets you reload during Tactical Sprint, which is ideal considering the XMG’s slow reload. Finally, Bankroll gives you 150 score at the start of every life, making it easier to earn scorestreaks. A Frag is a classic yet effective option in the lethal slot, as it can be cooked to explode at just the right moment. Meanwhile, a Stim Shot is great for situations where you are under pressure and need to heal up quickly. Last but not least, a Trophy System lets you lock down an area by destroying enemy projectiles, which is perfect in objective modes like Hardpoint. How to unlock XMG in Black Ops 6 Beta The XMG is unlocked once you get access to custom loadouts at level 4, making it one of the easiest guns to unlock in the beta. Simply play a few games to reach the required level, and you’ll be able to equip and customize the LMG. If you enjoy using long-range weapons like the XMG, this best SWAT 5.56 loadout will serve you well. Alternatively, you can switch it up with a meta C9 build that’s perfect for playing aggressively. Beyond classes, you’ll also want to make sure you are using the best controller settings to make racking up kills even easier.

Best Warzone XM4 class loadout: Attachments, Perks, Setup ActivisionCall of Duty: Warzone’s XM4 is an incredibly versatile Assault Rifle that decimates enemies in Season 5 Reloaded, especially when it’s equipped with these meta attachments. The XM4 is a deadly Assault Rifle that boasts excellent precision and deals decent range damage, making it a solid pick in Warzone. Previously known as the Commando, this reliable Rifle is certainly a strong pick in the current Warzone Season 5 Reloaded meta. Its gunplay is very similar to that of the M4A1 thanks to its great accuracy, fire rate, and damage. Whether you’re after an old-school AR in Season 5 Reloaded that you can rely on or just tired of using close-range SMGs, then the XM4 is one gun that you’ll want to add to your arsenal. In order to help you get the most out of the weapon, we’ve outlined the game’s best Warzone XM4 loadout and the attachments you should be using to maximize the weapon’s overall power. Contents Best XM4 loadout for Warzone – Best XM4 setup (Perks & equipment) – How to unlock the XM4 in Warzone – Alternative to the XM4 loadout – Best XM4 loadout for Warzone Attachments Muzzle: Agency Suppressor – Barrel: 13.5″ Task Force – Optic: Axial Arms 3x – Ammunition: STANAG 60 Round – Underbarrel: Field Agent Grip – We kick off the best Warzone XM4 loadout by boosting the gun’s effective damage range and accuracy, while also greatly improving its handling when going full-auto. Due to the gun’s lower damage range, compared to other ARs, the XM4 is best used in close to mid-range firefights. To help with this, we’ve attached the Axial Arms 3x optic – although these selections are always subjective depending on the user. This optic will give you just enough magnification to land those ranged headshots, but it will also keep you on target in closer engagements. Next, we’ve utilized the 13.5” Task Force barrel so the XM4 can deal a lethal amount of damage at close range. The increased damage, range, and bullet velocity will help bump up your DPS (damage-per-second) in those situations where you need to hit an enemy at a distance as well. To further increase this AR’s mobility and effective damage range, we added the Agency Suppressor. Not only does this noise-canceling muzzle increase the XM4’s bullet velocity, but it also increases the gun’s ADS speed and damage range. Combine this with the Field Agent Grip for better recoil control, and you have a recipe for success. Rounding things off at the bottom of the list is the STANAG 60 Rnd attachment. This magazine will give you all the ammunition needed to melt multiple foes, especially at long range, where it’s essential that you don’t run out of ammo. Best XM4 setup (Perks & equipment) Perks & Equipment Perk 1: E.O.D. – Perk 2: Overkill – Perk 3: Amped – Secondary: Armaguerra 43 – Lethal: Semtex – Tactical: Heartbeat Sensor – Similar to many Warzone setups, this loadout also utilizes E.O.D, Amped, and Overkill. E.O.D greatly reduces the damage taken from non-killstreak explosives and fire, which, in a game like Warzone, is a priceless addition to your setup. Amped allows you to switch between weapons faster, making it particularly useful if you do run out of bullets mid-fight. Lastly, Overkill allows you to equip the Armaguerra 43 as your secondary weapon to back you up if you run out of bullets in the XM4, or an opponent gets in your face, requiring a fast-firing SMG to destroy them in no time at all. To round off this XM4 loadout, we’ve decided to use the Semtex and Heartbeat Sensor in the lethal and tactical slots. The Semtex is arguably the best lethal in Warzone due to its efficiency in not only damaging enemies but also finishing off downed enemies quickly. Similarly, the Heartbeat Sensor gives you the ability to track down non-Ghosted enemies and flush out those pesky campers. Despite being nerfed when Warzone Pacific launched, the Heartbeat Sensor is still very effective and delivers priceless information. How to unlock the XM4 in Warzone All you need to do is reach Player Level 4 in either Black Ops Cold War or Warzone, and the gun will be available to customize and rank up. Unlocking the XM4 in Warzone is incredibly simple and shouldn’t take you very long. Alternative to the XM4 loadout If you’re looking for an alternative to the XM4, then consider using either the Cooper Carbine or Grau. 5.56 two perfectly viable Assault Rifles that can still tear up lobbies. Both have had a resurgence thanks to Warzone Season 5 Reloaded and their respective loadouts could improve your gameplay in the game.

While the XM4 is often overlooked, this early-game AR is one of the best guns in Black Ops Cold War. While it doesn’t boast the highest damage output when compared to the game’s FFAR or Krig 6, it’s arguably the most reliable pick all around. If you’re willing to give this AR a go, you’ll have access to a consistent weapon that can down multiple targets across all ranges. Here’s an overview of the best possible loadouts for all play styles to get the most out of the XM4 in Black Ops Cold War. How to unlock the XM4 in Black Ops Cold War Unlocking the XM4 in Black Ops Cold War is incredibly simple and won’t take you long at all. There are no challenge requirements, you’ll just need to reach level 4 in-game to unlock the assault rifle. Now you’ve got your hands on the XM4, you’ll need a top-tier loadout to get the most out of the weapon. Luckily below, we’ve listed five of the best XM4 class setups available in Blacks Ops Cold War.

Dropping in with eight unique attachments will make you a real threat on the map. You can pick and choose whichever Optic you’d like. Though with most ARs, you never want to limit your overall vision. Selecting a smaller sight can help keep you aware of everything nearby, rather than scoping in and having tunnel vision ruin your streak. Since the XM4 is an all-around solid weapon, there’s no need to deviate from its general strength. Attachments like the Field Agent Grip, SOCOM Eliminator, and even the Laser Sight will help keep your shots accurate.

ARs can be surprisingly lethal from across the map and this setup proves just that. Thanks to a focus on accurate attachments, your shots will be landing no matter the range. Take the 13.5 Reinforced Heavy Barrel, for instance. This comes with the perfect tradeoff to maximize both bullet velocity and overall range. Rather than hindering one or the other, it’s a solid middle ground so that you can get the best of both worlds. There’s no use having an extreme range attachment if you have to lead your shots by a huge amount. Meanwhile, the Visiontech 2x ensures you’ll constantly be able to land those lethal head and body shots. After you’ve zeroed in on your target, simply hold down the trigger and get racking up those all-important multi-kills. Best competitive XM4 loadout Attachments Optic: Millstop Reflex – Muzzle: – – Barrel: 13.7 Extended / 13.7 Takedown – Body: – – Underbarrel: Field Agent Grip – Magazine: – – Handle: Airborne Elastic Wrap – Stock: Raider Pad – Secondary 1911 – Perks Perk 1: Tactical Mask & Flak Jacket – Perk 2: Assassin & Scavenger – Perk 3: Ninja & Ghost – Equipment Lethal: Frag Grenade – Tactical: Stimshot – Field Upgrade: Assault Pack – Wildcard Perk Greed – When it comes to competitive play, you want an XM4 loadout fit for any situation. While playing the AR role, you’ll be taking gunfights from mid to long-range more often than not, but you can often find yourself closer to your enemies as well. With this setup, you’ll be ready to take anyone down. The Field Agent Grip is a staple for any AR class, according to CDL pro Octane. The same can be said for the Raider Pad and the Airborne Elastic Wrap. With these attachments, your version of the XM4 will be as well-rounded as possible.

Thanks to these attachments and various perks, you’ll be zooming through the map with your XM4 in no time. First up is the 11.8 Ranger Barrel. This is important as it’s the only attachment in its class that improves your bullet velocity without actually slowing you down. Others come with slightly improved buffs, but the negative effects are simply too much of a tradeoff. Read More: 5 WWII guns that should be added to Warzone – Similar can be said for the Underbarrel. Infiltrator Grip will help your movement speed in all regards, not just one specific area. You’ll be able to sprint faster, aim quicker, strafe with more agility, and everything in between. Everything in this loadout is intended to maximize speed. Hence why a Knife secondary can come in handy. Whenever you’re out of the fight, swapping over will improve your sprint speed.

Objective players often go underappreciated but you’ll be able to make a huge impact in every game with this XM4 loadout. Arguably the most important aspect of this class is the perks. You’ll need both Flak Jacket and Tac Mask to survive all incoming spam while you’re playing the objective. Keeping alive through this onslaught is vital if you’re aiming for wins over everything else. The attachments here give you one of the most well-rounded XM4 setups possible.

Best XM4 loadout for Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War alpha Activision / TreyarchThe XM4 is a deadly assault rifle that boasts excellent precision and deals decent range damage, making it one of the most versatile guns in Black Ops Cold War. Find out which attachments you should equip to enhance the XM4’s kill potential. While the XM4 was previously known as the Commando in the original Black Ops, its Cold War counterpart offers the same reliability. This rifle’s 30-round magazine and methodical fire rate make it incredibly easy to handle, allowing for perfectly placed head and bodyshots. It may not deal as much damage as the overpowered AK74u loadout, but it certainly gets the job done. Treyarch will likely nerf the Soviet assault rifle before Black Ops Cold War’s official release, so the XM4 could end up taking the crown. In order to help you get the most out of the XM4, we’ve put together a loadout that you can use to gain a competitive edge. Best XM4 loadout for Black Ops Cold War Here’s the best attachments you can use on your XM4 in Cold War: Millistop Reflex – Agency Suppressor – 13.7″ Extended – Foregrip – Steady Aim Laser – Tactical Stock – 40 RD Speed Mag – Quick Draw Handle – By picking the Gunfighter perk, you can equip a total of eight attachments which makes this assault rifle an absolute beast. The Millistop Reflex provides the XM4 with a clean sight that doesn’t clutter the screen, allowing you to easily spot enemies at a distance. While the gun may not have particularly bad sights, we found the Millistop Reflex gave us the extra versatility needed for mid to long-range engagements. Next up is the Agency Suppressor. This muzzle decreases the XM4’s vertical recoil and stops you from appearing on the mini-map when firing, making it extremely useful when you’re trying to rack up those sneaky kills. The 13.7″ Extended barrel adds a whopping 50% increase to the weapon’s bullet velocity. Not only does this attachment make hitting targets at longer ranges easier, but you’ll also be able to snag more kills in a shorter space of time. While the XM4 will still be outclassed by most SMGs in close-quarter firefights, the 13.7″ Extended barrel will at least give you a fighting chance. While the recoil may be one of the easiest to control, it’s often best to attach a foregrip to help reduce any annoying horizontal kicks. The XM4 excels in mid to long-range firefights, so having an attachment that allows you to beam your enemies across these distances is vital. Meanwhile, the Steady Aim Laser is a fantastic option for those of you that want to have some semblance of accuracy without constantly aiming down your sights. It’s a pretty situational attachment and is only recommended when you’re playing on the game’s smaller maps. However, the Steady Aim Laser can get you out of some rather frustrating situations. Tactical Stocks have long been chosen in Call of Duty for their aiming movement speed. After all, being able to quickly sweep your surroundings, run to cover, and quickly rush a low health enemy is huge. Speed is also key when you want to go for those aggressive flanks. The 40 RD Speed Mag adds an additional 10 rounds to the XM4 clip, giving you plenty of extra bullets to snag those all-important multi-kills. The added benefit of having a quicker reload is also fantastic, especially when you wish to minimize any frustrating mid-animation deaths. Lastly, the Quick Draw Handle bolsters the XM4’s ADS speed by 8%. The increase may seem rather incremental, but it does make for some rather quick target acquisition. Being able to instantly snap onto an enemy player and deliver highly accurate rounds to the head is always going to be useful.

Best XM4 loadout in Black Ops 6 beta: Class setup, attachments, perks DexertoThroughout Call of Duty’s history, there have been plenty of memorable ARs, including the XM4 which is back and better than ever in Black Ops 6. ARs usually reign supreme in medium and long-range engagements, but that hasn’t quite been the case in Black Ops 6. Sixty-one percent of players used the Jackal PDW during the first beta weekend because the SMG’s outrageous range capabilities went toe-to-toe with ARs. Treyarch responded by nerfing the Jackal PDW’s damage range. The XM4 was arguably one of the best weapons in the game before this most recent update but now sits in pole position to take over multiplayer’s meta. With that said, here’s a look at which loadout is the best for the XM4 in Black Ops 6 right now. Best Black Ops 6 XM4 loadout Optic: Merlin Reflex – Muzzle: Compensator – Barrel: Reinforced Barrel – Rear Grip: Quickdraw Grip – Stock: Balanced Stock – If you’re loading into a Black Ops 6 lobby for the first time, this is one of the best weapons to learn the ropes. The easy-to-use AR has a controllable recoil pattern, deals consistent damage, and boasts decent enough mobility and handling. However, the XM4 doesn’t dominate any particular area. So, with that in mind, our loadout emphasizes accuracy, mobility, and firepower to take this weapon from an average AR into a force to be reckoned with. That starts with the Compensator muzzle, which drastically improves vertical recoil. Horizontal recoil isn’t as much of an issue for the XM4, so we only have to hone in on eliminating any up and down movement. Next up, the iron sights are challenging to see through, so we recommend using an optic. There are several red dot variations, so it ultimately comes down to personal preference, but the Merlin Mini offers a low intrusive frame with a clean line of sight. Every AR loadout should have Quickdraw Grip equipped. It significantly improves aim-down sight speed and could end up being the difference between winning or losing a gunfight. The same can be said about the Reinforced Barrel, because improved bullet velocity and damage range suits this otherwise average weapon perfectly. Lastly, Balanced Stock moderately helps movement speed and aim walking speed, to get more in line with mobility stats of other AR options. Best XM4 Perks, Equipment & Combat Specialty Perk 1: Ghost – Perk 2: Tracker – Perk 3: Double Time – Perk 4: Vigilance – Wildcard: Perk Greed – Combat Specialty: Recon – Lethal: Semtex – Tactical: Concussion – Field Upgrade: Trophy System – Omnimovement plays right into the hands of aggressive SMG players. ARs don’t have the same mobility of handling stats as SMGs, meaning players won’t be able to dive and move in the same way. In saying that, AR players have less to worry about if they always know what’s happening around them. These Perks will reduce the number of times you get blindsided or flanked while holding a power position. Perk Greed helps accomplish that goal by giving players an extra Perk Slot. Equipping three Recon Perks activates the Recon Combat Speciality. This ability allows players to see enemies through walls briefly after spawning and also provides a ping indicator when an enemy has their sights on you outside of your view. Meanwhile, Vigilance displays a HUD Icon whenever you are on enemy mini-maps and makes you immune to Sleeper Agent, which was introduced during the second beta weekend. The scary Field Upgrade allows enemies to appear as teammates briefly, but you won’t have to worry about that nightmare. UAVs are extremely easy to earn in Black Ops 6, so Ghost counters that by making you invisible to the Scorestreak. And if you lose track of someone, Tracker reveals enemy footsteps and auto-pings enemies after you aim down sight on them. Finally, Double Time increases tactical sprinting duration when you need to get out of a jam quickly. To round out our loadout, Semtex Grenades, and Concussion Grenades will help clear a room or draw an enemy out. And when you find yourself on the wrong end of a grenade, Trophy Systems destroy them. XM4 AR pros and cons Where is the XM4 in the Black Ops 6 meta? Within each weapon’s max damage range, the XM4 has the second-best time-to-kill speed among beta ARs clocking in at 300 milliseconds. The AK-74 bests that figure out at 276 ms, but a less-reliable recoil pattern makes the XM4 a better weapon. An argument can be made that the AMES 85 is a better AR, but popularity rankings suggest that the XM4 is currently the most popular choice for this class. According to WZ Stats, the XM4 is the second most popular weapon in Black Ops 6, with a 10.91% pick rate, narrowly falling behind the Tanto .22 at 10.97%. With that in mind, it’s safe to say that the XM4 is in an excellent spot to take the crown for best AR. How to unlock XM4 in Black Ops 6 beta The XM4 is unlocked when you can create classes at level 4. Because of the beta’s Double XP, you will only need to play a few matches before reaching that mark. Black Ops 6 XM4 alternatives If the XM4 doesn’t quite offer the accuracy or damage profile you want, two alternatives excel in those areas. First, the AK-74 sacrifices accuracy to be one of the hardest-hitting weapons in multiplayer. On the other hand, what the AMES 85 lacks in firepower, the AR makes up for in pinpoint accuracy in medium and long-range gunfights. For a better idea of other alternatives, check out our Black Ops 6 weapon tier list.

Best X13 Auto Warzone 2 class loadout: Attachments, Perks, Setup The arrival of Season 4 Reloaded has turned the close-range meta on its head with pistols replacing SMGs. One of the sidearms to rise to the top is the X13 Auto, largely thanks to its impressive time to kill. To take advantage of this you’ll want to use our best X13 Auto loadout in Warzone 2. The X13 Auto is a fully automatic pistol based on the real-world Glock 18. Many Call of Duty fans will be familiar with this name as the G18 was one of the most iconic secondary weapons from the original Modern Warfare 2. Throughout most of Warzone 2’s lifespan, the X13 has remained a solid but overall niche option. However, the Season 4 Reloaded patch has seen in thrown right into the meta becoming one of the best close-quarters weapons in Warzone. Here’s our recommended X13 Auto loadout to dominate close-range engagements in Warzone 2. Contents Best X13 Auto Warzone 2 loadout – Best X13 Auto Warzone 2 class: Perks & equipment – How to unlock the X13 Auto in Warzone 2 – Best X13 Auto alternatives in Warzone 2 – Best X13 Auto Warzone 2 loadout Attachments Muzzle: Slab-10 Comp – Barrel: Impact Point – Laser: FJX DIOD-70 – Magazine: 50 Round Drum – Rear Grip: FTAC OL-Z Grip – With it being a full auto pistol the X13 Auto can be a handful to control. Therefore it’s important to prioritize attachments that reduce recoil and make this pistol easier to use and more consistent. The best attachments to use that reduce recoil are the Slab-10 Comp muzzle and FTAC OL-Z Grip rear grip. When combined these greatly reduce overall recoil making it easier to keep this pistol on target for its entire magazine. Speaking of magazine, the X13 Auto gets access to an incredible 50 Round Drum which is perfect for Warzone. A magazine of this size makes sure that you always have bullets available to down enemy players and it reduces how frequently you have to reload. The last two attachments are flexible but we like the Impact Point barrel and FJX DIOD-70 laser. The barrel improves recoil control and hip fire accuracy at the cost of mobility while the laser provides a huge boost to Aim Down Sight Speed and Sprint to Fire Speed keeping the X13 snappy. Best X13 Auto Warzone 2 class: Perks & equipment Base Perk 1: Bomb Squad – Base Perk 2: Double Time – Bonus Perk: Spotter – Ultimate Perk: High Alert – Lethal: Throwing Knife – Tactical: Smoke Grenade – Since the X13 Auto isn’t a primary weapon you don’t need to use Overkill, freeing up a Perk slot. The best use of this slot is Bomb Squad, a Perk that reduces damage taken from explosives and one of the only Perks in Warzone 2 that will directly save your life. With it being a pistol the X13 Auto has fantastic mobility. To take advantage of this it’s best to use Double Time which increases the duration of Tactical Sprint and makes crouch movement speed 30% faster. Unusually, Spotter excels with this loadout as it lets you identify and avoid enemy Proximity Mines and Claymores when playing aggressively. This partners well with High Alert which provides crucial intel by highlighting the enemy’s location when they aim at you from behind. For equipment, we recommend running both a Throwing Knife and Smoke Grenade. The former is perfect for finishing off downed targets and saving shots for potential team wipes. Then Smoke Grenades are perfect for creating cover in open areas to make moving around the map easier. How to unlock the X13 Auto in Warzone 2 The X13 Auto is unlocked in Warzone 2 by leveling up the X12 pistol to weapon rank Level 10. Meanwhile, the X12 can be unlocked by reaching player rank Level 31. Getting both the player rank levels and gun rank levels to unlock the X13 Auto can be done in Warzone, multiplayer & DMZ, with all three core game modes rewarding XP. Best X13 Auto alternatives in Warzone 2 Since the X13 Auto is an automatic pistol it’s only natural to recommend the other gun that fits this description, the FTAC Siege. The Siege doesn’t have as competitive a time to kill as the X13 but it’s still a strong overall choice that’s easy to use. Alternatively, you can try using the other handgun that’s currently dominating Warzone’s close-range meta, the Basilisk Akimbo. At least within its effective range, the Basilisk with Snakeshot rounds kills faster than any other weapon in the game. That’s all for our best X13 Auto loadout in Warzone 2.

Best WSP Swarm Warzone loadout: Class setup, Attachments, Perks, & more The WSP Swarm continues to be a solid option in Season 4 Reloaded for players looking to survive the Warzone thanks to its close-range capabilities and excellent mobility. Rarely does Call of Duty introduce a weapon as game-defining as the WSP Swarm, a modern take on the Uzi Pro, consistently leading the close-range battle scene. The WSP Swarm isn’t a particularly versatile weapon nor is it the easiest to use, but its absurd time to kill up close is the only thing it needs to be top-tier. This is our best WSP Swarm Warzone Season 4 Reloaded loadout that you’ll want to use to not be left behind by the competition. Best WSP Swarm Warzone loadout Conversion Kit: WSP Akimbo Brace Stock – Muzzle: S-37C DL Breacher Device – Barrel: WSP Ruthless-L Barrel – Laser: Verdant Hook Cylindrical Laser – Magazine: 50 Round Mag – This loadout centers around the WSP Akimbo Brace Stock which will let you dual-wield two WSP Swarms at once, while also reducing hipfire spread and weapon swap speed. This is also helped with the Verdant Hook Cylindrical Laser attachment as well. However, you will still get some use out of aiming down the sights through using the S-37C DL Breacher Device which will increase your ADS Speed by a good margin. Improving the damage range of the WSP Swarm is also an important part of finding the right loadout, which is where the WSP Ruthless-L Barrel comes into play. To round it out, the 50 Round Mag will give you more ammo with which to land your shots and worry less about reloading. WSP Swarm Warzone Loadout: Perks and Equipment Perk 1: Double Time increases Tac Sprint duration – – Perk 2: Sleight of Hand faster reloading – – Perk 3: Quick Fix starts health regeneration when killing a player or inserting a plate – – Perk 4: Resolute gives you a boost of speed when hit with an enemy shot – – Lethal: Throwing Knife – Tactical: Smoke Grenade – The key to using the WSP Swarm is movement and finding ways to never stop. This is what this loadout is designed to amplify, especially with the Perks. Double Time will do just that, as it reduces Tac Sprint refresh time and increases its duration. Sleight of Hand will give you the ability to reload your gun in a cinch to not let someone overwhelm you. Perks 3 and 4 are home to some of the best Perks, with Quick Fix keeping you in the action as you down and finish off your foes. Finally, Resolute is going to help you move around faster when you are under fire. Now, if you are hit, you can regenerate your health and get to cover faster. Using the Throwing Knife is one of the best lethal pieces of equipment in the game that can take an enemy out if you can land the throw. Finally, the Smoke Grenade is going to give you more cover than what is already on the map. How to unlock WSP Swarm in Warzone The WSP Swarm is unlocked in Warzone by reaching Level 27. Alternatively, extracting a WSP Swarm in Zombies will unlock the SMG letting you skip the grind altogether. Best alternative to WSP Swarm in Warzone The Striker 9 provides a great alternative to the WSP Swarm with it also being a primarily close-range SMG with a fast fire rate and reasonable TTK. It isn’t quite as potent as the WSP but has a better range and is easier to use. SMGs are a huge part of the best Warzone Season 4 Reloaded meta loadouts, so check out your other options like the FJX Horus, Striker, Superi 46, and AMR9.

Best WSP Swarm MW3 loadout: Class setup, attachments, perks ActivisionAchieve dominance with this best WSP Swarm loadout in MW3 Season 3 that includes the class setup, attachments, and perks you should be using on this meta-defining SMG. The WSP Swarm is one of the best SMGs in MW3 due to its high rate and fast TTK at close range. In the right hands, it can take down multiple enemies using a single magazine making it a great choice for smaller maps. This loadout looks to make the most of its strengths by maximizing the WSP Swarm’s mobility and handling while ensuring that it still stays competitive at medium range. Content Best WSP Swarm MW3 loadout – WSP Swarm MW3 loadout: Perks & equipment – How to unlock WSP Swarm in MW3 – Best WSP Swarm alternative in MW3 – Best WSP Swarm MW3 loadout Attachments Muzzle: Shadowstrike Suppressor – Barrel: WSP Reckless-90 Long Barrel – Optic: Quarters Classic Reflex – Underbarrel: XRK Edge BW-4 Handstop – Magazine: 40 Round Mag – With the fast-paced gameplay of Modern Warfare 3, these attachments make the WSP Swarm extremely strong. This was true back in Season 1 and remains true even now in Season 3. New SMGs may have been added since but if you want an old-school run-and-gun submachine gun this is still as reliable as ever. Looking to facilitate this very playstyle, the Shadowstrike Suppressor keeps the WSP Swarm’s shots silent keeping you off the minimap. This enables a flanking playstyle which is further enhanced by the XRK Edge BW-4 Handstop, an underbarrel that greatly improves several key mobility and handling stats. Two key weaknesses of the WSP Swarm are its small magazine and low range. The WSP Reckless-90 Long Barrel massively increases damage range making you more competitive from further away while the 40 Round Mag ensures you won’t have to reload as often while not affecting the SMG’s outstanding mobility. This weapon’s iron sights can be difficult to use at times so it’s also best to equip a suitable close-range optic. Though there are several good options the Quarters Classic Reflex stands out due to its easy-to-use reticle and nostalgia bonus. WSP Swarm MW3 loadout: Perks & Equipment Vest: Demolition Vest – Gloves: Scavenger Gloves – Boots: Covert Sneakers – Gear: Ghost T/V Camo – Lethal: Frag Grenade (x2) – Tactical: Stun Grenade – The Demolition Vest is an ideal choice when running an SMG build as it resupplies Lethal and Tactical equipment every 25 seconds. You’ll be at a big advantage able to constantly resupply Frag Grenades and Stun Grenades, giving yourself more tools to blow up and immobilize enemies and swoop in for easy kills. Scavenger Gloves resupply ammo from eliminated players which can be handy to survive longer and go on huge killstreaks. This may not come into play too often but when it does it’ll be the reason you were able to kill in a game-winning kill streak. It’s also worth using both the Covert Sneakers boots and Ghost T/V Camo gear to block UAVs, enemy radar, and Heartbeat Sensor detections while remaining silent on the move. If you want to flank with any serious chance of success, both of these perks are a must. How to unlock the WSP Swarm in Modern Warfare 3 You need to reach Level 27 to unlock the WSP Swarm SMG in Modern Warfare 3. This can be easily done by grinding up the levels in either multiplayer, Zombies, or even Warzone, as the battle royale mode is generous enough when it comes to granting XP. Best WSP Swarm alternative in Modern Warfare 3 If you feel the WSP Swarm shoots a little too fast for your liking, the best alternative to this SMG would be the Rival-9. It’s extremely effective in close-range combat due to its explosive TTK and ease of use.

Best WSP Stinger Warzone loadout: Class setup, attachments, Perks If you want to try out a fun pistol to dominate up close with then look no further than our meta WSP Stinger loadout to use in Warzone. Machine pistols have a long history of dominating Warzone with the likes of the FTAC Siege, Renetti, and Sykov all being meta at one point or another. Although it isn’t quite absolute meta, the WSP Stinger is a strong option as secondaries go. It has a tremendous TTK up close and is easy to use making it a solid choice to pair with a more versatile primary. Without attachments, this pistol can be difficult to use though so you’ll want to run this WSP Stinger Warzone loadout to get the most out of it. Contents Best WSP Stinger loadout – WSP Stinger loadout: Perks and equipment – How to unlock WSP Stinger in Warzone – Best alternative to WSP Stinger in Warzone – Best WSP Stinger Warzone loadout Muzzle: FTAC Castle Comp – Barrel: HISS Short Light Barrel – Laser: FJX DIOD-70 – Stock: WSP Factory Stock – Magazine: 32 Round Mag – Although it can be tempting to run Akimbo on the WSP Stinger, it is much more consistent when using just one. However, to make it accurate enough to justify trying the WSP Stinger needs a ton of recoil control which primarily comes from the FTAC Castle Comp muzzle and WSP Factory Stock. Another significant flaw of this machine pistol is its lack of range. While this will always be a limit it can be mitigated by equipping the HISS Short Light Barrel which bumps up both Damage Range and Bullet Velocity. These attachments can leave the WSP Stinger feeling a little heavy so it’s best to equip the FJX DIOD-70 laser to improve its ADS speed. Finally, the 32 Round Mag is a must given this pistol’s absurd fire rate and Warzone’s increased health compared to multiplayer. WSP Stinger Warzone Loadout: Perks and Equipment Perk 1: Mountaineer – Perk 2: Double Time – Perk 3: Quick Fix – Perk 4: Birdseye – Lethal: Throwing Knife – Tactical: Smoke Grenade – Mountaineer has become increasingly popular and for good reason. The meta Perk lets you fall from greater distances and removes the penalty when landing making you much more maneuverable. It works well with Double Time which further improves movement by enhancing Tactical Sprint. When playing fast it makes sense to use Quick Fix. This Perk 3 immediately triggers healing whenever you equip an Armor Plate. This is fantastic for getting right back into the action as fast as possible, especially in the midst of a close fight. Another Perk well suited to an aggressive playstyle that suits the WSP Stinger is Birdseye. The underrated Perk 4 improves UAVs making them ping faster and even detect enemy players using Ghost. This is fantastic for hunting down enemy teams. Continuing the theme of setting ourselves up to play fast, a Throwing Knife is incredible as it can be used to finish off downed enemies without wasting ammo. This is particularly nice on the WSP Stinger given its smaller magazine. Also, a Smoke Grenade is great for repositioning and creating cover during tense moments. How to unlock WSP Stinger in Warzone The WSP Stinger can be unlocked by getting access to the Armory at level 25, activating the WSP Stinger, and then completing 3 Daily Challenges. Those wanting a faster method should instead consider extracting with a WSP Stinger in Zombies. Best alternative to WSP Stinger in Warzone If you enjoy using fast-firing sidearms then we recommend the COR-45 with its unique XRK IP-V2 Conversion Kit equipped. This Aftermarket Part gives the pistol a binary trigger letting it reach an incredible fire rate with little to no effort.

Which is why you want to have the gun kitted out perfectly to make sure that you are shredding your enemies at every turn.

Contents: Best WSP Stinger MW3 loadout – WSP Stinger MW3 loadout: Perks and Equipment – How to unlock the WSP Stinger – Best alternative to WSP Stinger – Best WSP Stinger MW3 loadout Barrel: Hiss Short Light Barrel – Muzzle: L4R Flash Hider – Magazine: 32 Round Mag – Rear Grip: Marauder Grip – Laser: FJX DIOD-70 – One of the key components of short-range combat is maneuverability, and that’s why the Hiss Short Light Barrel, which will offer a recoil boost and movement speed. The recoil control will be further aided by the L4R Flash Hider, which brings that recoil control for both vertical and horizontal. It also improves ADS speed to help line up a shot. The 32 Round Mag gives you more bullets to shoot, which can help you take out multiple enemies in short order. The Marauder Grip is going to give you even more accuracy help by also improving the horizontal and vertical recoil. Rounding the attachments out is the FJX DIOD-70 to improve your ADS speed, sprint to fire speed, and aiming stability. It all works together to offer the most stable version of the WSP Stinger you can have. WSP Stinger MW3 loadout: Perks and Equipment Vest: Infantry Vest increases your Tac Sprint duration to help with speed and movement – – Boots: Stalker Boots gives a higher movement and strafing speed – – Gloves: Commando Gloves allows you to reload while sprinting so you never have to stop moving – – Gear: Bone Conduction Headset improves combat audio so you can hear enemy footsteps and gunfire more easily – – Lethal: Semtex – Tactical: Battle Rage – Field Upgrade: Battle Rage – The perks and gear will help you keep your movement up-to-par, while also giving you a chance to hear enemies coming for you from all directions.

Best WSP-9 Warzone loadout: Class setup, attachments, Perks The popularity of the WSP-9 certainly saw a huge surge in Season 2, and it’s continuing that momentum into Season 4 Reloaded of Warzone. When using the right attachments with it, the gun can be a real force to be reckoned with as you try and claim that victory. With that said, this is the best WSP-9 loadout to use in Warzone and dominate across both Urzikstan and Resurgence. Contents Best WSP-9 Warzone loadout Muzzle: ZEHMN35 Compensated Flash Hider – Barrel: HISS Short Light Barrel – Optic: JAK Glassless Optic – Underbarrel: DR-6 Handstop – Magazine: 40 Round Mag – You’ll start this loadout with the ZEHMN35 Compensated Flash Hider. You’ll want to add this to your WSP-9 loadout, as it gives you a big boost to recoil control and ADS Speed to help with your mobility. The HISS Short Light Barrel ups the weapon’s mobility, as it’ll further increase your ADS speed, with a nice bump to sprint and sprint to fire speed. The latter is important as fights can happen at a moment’s notice in Warzone. The DR-6 Handstop also helps with the gun’s mobility, again, an important stat to maintain in Warzone and for SMGs. The JAK Glassless Optic offers a great look at enemies due to its larger optical picture. It also helps boost firing aim stability, which is great when looking down the WSP-9’s sights. Finally, the 40 Round Mag offers extra ammo for you to shoot which could save your life if you find yourself in a tough spot. You just have to be ready for a slightly longer reloading animation. WSP-9 Warzone Loadout: Perks and Equipment Perk 1: Double Time increases your Tac Sprint duration – – Perk 2: Sleight of Hand reload faster – – Perk 3: Quick Fix start health regeneration when killing a player or inserting a plate – – Perk 4: Resolute gives a speed boost when hit with an enemy shot – – Lethal: Semtex – Tactical: Flash Grenade – The WSP-9 is an SMG, which means that you will want to be moving a lot when using it. These Perks here are designed to help with that. Double Time is well-known throughout Warzone for its boon of massively improving your Tac Sprint, which is imperative with an SMG. Sleight of Hand will keep you in the gunfight longer since the improved reload speed will make sure your mag’s never empty, especially when using a bigger-sized magazine. Perks 3 and 4 are home to Quick Fix and Resolute. The former will keep your health always full, which is a big deal if you play aggressively with an SMG. The latter gives you a short boost to your movement speed when under fire, and again if you play aggressively, you’ll be running circles around the opposition. How to unlock WSP-9 in Warzone The WSP-9 is unlocked through the Armory which first requires you to reach Level 25, activate the WSP-9 unlock, and complete three daily challenges. Alternatively, extracting with the submachine gun in Zombies will also unlock it. Best alternative to WSP-9 in Warzone The Striker is another slower-firing SMG that is extremely accurate and can compete against assault rifles at medium range. The WSP-9 is just one SMG that you can use in Warzone to keep yourself moving and putting out great damage, so check out the other options like the Superi 46, FJX Horus, and Lachmann Shroud.

Best WSP-9 MW3 loadout: Class setup, attachments, perks The WSP-9 has received another big buff in MW3 which has seen it become one of the strongest weapons in multiplayer. Here’s the best WSP-9 loadout to dominate both up close and at medium range. The Uzi returns to Call of Duty this time as the WSP-9. This unique SMG sacrifices fire rate for accuracy and range resulting in arguably the most versatile submachine gun in Modern Warfare 3. However, the slow fire rate means you can’t afford to miss shots making the WSP-9 less forgiving than other SMGs. In the right hands, the WSP-9 is capable of competing against assault rifles from afar thanks to its impressive accuracy. Even better, following a buff in Season 3 Reloaded it also has a rapid sprint to fire time making it well suited to close-range duels too. Here’s the best WSP-9 loadout to use in Modern Warfare 3 including attachments, perks, and equipment all chosen to get the most out of this adaptable SMG. Contents Best WSP-9 MW3 loadout – Best WSP-9 class: Perks and equipment – How to unlock the WSP-9 – Best WSP-9 alternative – Best WSP-9 MW3 loadout Attachments Muzzle: Zehmn35 Compensated Flash Hider – Optic: JAK Glassless Optic – Stock: WSP Classics Factory Stock – Underbarrel: XRK Edge BW-4 Handstop – Magazine: 32 Round Mag – The WSP-9 has benefitted a lot from new attachments that have been added to Modern Warfare 3 post-release. A great example of this is the excellent Zehmn35 Compensated Flash Hider which improves recoil control while only slightly reducing handling. Similarly, the WSP Classics Factory Stock massively reduces recoil which ensures that this rendition of the Uzi remains accurate even at long range. Similarly, the JAK Glassless Optic is the best sight in MW3 right now and the WSP-9 needs it. This SMG’s default iron sights are very difficult as they obscure your vision, so using a meta optic like this makes hitting shots much easier. Another big problem with the WSP-9 that needs to be addressed is its tiny magazine. Even with its slow fire rate a 25 round magazine simply doesn’t cut it. To solve this issue, equip the 32 Round Mag which reduces how often you’ll need to reload and makes it less likely you’ll get caught out doing so. The last attachment worth using is the XRK Edge BW-4 Handstop. This underbarrel boosts several key stats for an SMG like ADS Speed and ADS Movement Speed. These keep the WSP-9 feeling snappy and responsive despite all of the other heavy attachments on this loadout. Best WSP-9 class: Perks and equipment Vest: CCT Comms Vest Team intelligence vest that increases the duration enemies stay on the radar, makes enemies drop intel packs that generate radar pings and zooms out minimap. – – Gloves: Assault Gloves While jumping, accuracy and time to ADS is improved. – – Boots: Covert Sneakers Eliminates footstep sounds – – Gear 1: Ghost T/V Camo While moving, blocks detection by UAVs, enemy radar sources, and Heartbeat Sensors. – – Gear 2: Blacklight Flashlight Shows recent enemy footsteps – – The CCT Comms Vest causes enemies you kill to drop intel packs, which generate radar pings revealing other nearby foes. It also increases the duration enemies stay on radar which is extremely strong when running around with a UAV active. Another big benefit to this vest is it provides four equipment slots: Gloves, Boots, and two Gear. This comes at the cost of both lethal and tactical grenades but that trade-off is worthwhile. For Gloves, the Assault Gloves are recommended as they enable a more aggressive playstyle suited to an MW3 SMG like the WSP-9. Covert Sneakers are a must for the boots slot as they silence footsteps letting you flank enemies much easier. This partners well with Ghost T/V Camo which hides you from enemy radar pings, combining with the Zehmn35 Compensated Flash Hider’s shortened radar pings to create a top-tier stealth loadout. The second Gear slot can be adjusted to suit your playstyle, but Blacklight Flashlight has great synergy with the WSP-9. With this perk equipped, you can track down enemies by following their footprints, using this SMG’s high mobility to your advantage. How to unlock the WSP-9 in Modern Warfare 3 The WSP-9 is unlocked through the Armory first accessible at level 25. After reaching Level 25, you’ll need to activate the WSP-9 and then either complete 3 daily challenges or win 3 multiplayer matches. Best WSP-9 alternative in Modern Warfare 3 The Striker is another slow-firing SMG that is extremely accurate with a competitive TTK. Just like the WSP-9, the Striker has been buffed a few times and is now amongst the best SMGs in Modern Warfare 3.

Best Whitley LMG Warzone loadout: Class setup, Attachments, Perks ActivisionThe Whitley LMG is one of Warzone Season 2’s new weapons, and it packs a serious punch. If you’re wondering how to make use of the new gun in Caldera, here’s our best Whitley LMG Warzone loadout, complete with Attachments and Perks. Warzone Season 2 is here, and it’s added a host of new weapons into the mix, shaking up the meta in the process. Alongside the KG M40, a new option in the Assault Rifle class, players can earn the Whitley, an LMG that’s perfect for Caldera’s vast open spaces. The Whitley LMG has the best damage per shot out of all of Vanguard’s light machine guns and is utterly devastating at long range. Its bulky size may be off-putting to some, but with the right setup, it could dominate Warzone Season 2. Here is our best Whitley LMG Warzone loadout, including the top Attachments, Perks, and Equipment you should use. Contents Best Whitley LMG loadout in Warzone – Best Whitley LMG Warzone class – How to unlock Whitley LMG in Warzone – Best Whitley LMG loadout for Warzone Muzzle: Mercury Silencer – Barrel: 28″ Gracey Mk. 9 – Underbarrel: M1930 Strife Angled – Optic: Slate Reflector – Stock: CGC R4 – Magazine: .30-06 120 Round Boxes – Ammunition: Lengthened – Rear Grip: Polymer Grip – Perk: Hardscope – Perk 2: Fully Loaded – As is always the case with LMGs in the game, our best Whitley LMG Warzone loadout is geared around curbing its recoil and making it a laser at long range. With this in mind, we’ve kicked things off with the Mercury Silencer, so help with horizontal recoil control. The 28″ Gracey Mk. 9, M1930 Strife Angled Foregrip and CGC R4 also help in the accuracy department, as well as buffing bullet velocity so those shots really travel. This does come at the cost of some movement and ADS speed, but being an LMG you will hardly notice the difference. For Optics we kept things simple with the Slate Reflector, but this can easily be swapped for whichever sight suits you best. Ammo-wise, .30-06 120 Round Boxes loaded with Lengthened rounds is the best bet. The extra capacity is vital during squad-squad-on-squad fights, and buffed bullet velocity is a must for long-range weapons. We’ve also punted for the Polymer Grip to maintain your shots during long bursts of fire. You could also go for a Leather Grip, but the latter is the perfect way to make use of the Whitley’s monstrous magazines. In terms of Perks, you’ll want to go for Hardscope to give yourself an accuracy boost when first lock sights on an enemy, and Fully Loaded to make sure ammo is in plentiful supply. Best Whitley LMG Warzone class Perk 1: E.O.D. – Perk 2: Overkill – Perk 3: Amped – Lethal: Semtex – Tactical: Stim – Even though the Whitley is a brand new gun in the Warzone roster, the tried-and-tested meta perks are still the best way to go. E.O.D offers crucial protection from explosives, which can be a lifesaver if you get trapped in a small room. Our Whitley build is a beast at range, but Overkill lets you bring a backup SMG or Shotgun for close-quarters. Warzone can conjure up lots of different scenarios, so it’s important to be ready for anything. Amped simply lets you switch your secondary quicker, which could come in clutch if an enemy team gets the drop on you. Finally, Semtex is a no-nonsense lethal that is incredibly simple to use, and a Stim can provide a last-second health top-up when the fight gets really intense. How to unlock the Whitley LMG in Warzone All you have to do is reach Tier 31 in theWarzone Season 2 Battle Pass, which also happens to be one of the free tiers available to all Warzone players. Thankfully, unlocking the Whitley LMG is extremely easy, and just rewires you to earn enough XP to reach the right level. Alternative to the Whitley LMG Warzone loadout If the Whitley doesn’t seem up your street, but you still want to stick with an LMG, we recommend going for the MG42. The MG was nerfed out of the meta a while back, but tweaks to other weapons in its class have allowed it to reclaim top spot. What makes the MG42 some effective is its blistering fire rate and a fantastic time to kill. It’s strong at all ranges, and different builds can help it thrive in completely different scenarios. The only real downside is recoil, most of which is vertical, but this can easily be kept in check after a few hours of practice and some Attachments to help bring it down. As with the Whitley, we recommend equipping Overkill and bringing along an SMG like the MP40 for a more lightweight option. There you have it! That was our best Whitley LMG Warzone loadout.

Best Whitley LMG Vanguard class loadout: Attachments, Perks, Proficiency, Setup ActivisionCoD Vanguard has tons of viable guns, and the Whitley LMG is just another top weapon that can inflict serious damage and dominate lobbies. Our best Vanguard loadout for it will straighten up its fire and make its range even more competitive. It can notoriously take a bit of time to take a gun from Level 1 to 70, but there are thankfully a few ways you can go about speeding this process up. Vanguard Season 2 added the Whitley LMG and as with all guns, some time, patience, and grinding will allow you to unlock its true potential. Our loadout guide for the Whitley LMG makes it fantastic to use and we also have the best Perks and other class setup options too. Contents Best Whitley LMG Vanguard loadout – Best Whitley LMG Vanguard class – Best Whitley LMG class Vanguard tips – How to unlock the Whitley LMG in Vanguard – Alternative to the Whitley LMG Vanguard loadout – Best Whitley LMG Vanguard loadout Muzzle: G28 Compensator – Barrel: 20″ Ragdoll RE2 – Optic: Slate Reflector – Stock: CGC R2 Padded – Underbarrel: M1941 Hand Stop – Magazine: .30-06 120 Round Boxes – Ammo Type: Subsonic – Rear Grip: Stippled Grip – Proficiency: Sleight of Hand – Kit: Fully Loaded – Our ideal Whitley LMG loadout in Vanguard starts out with the G28 Compensator to give it a decent all-around recoil decrease. Whereas the 20″ Ragdoll RE2 offers the perfect combination of range, bullet velocity, and recoil control. For the optic, we think you just can’t go wrong with the Slate Reflector and the CGC R2 Padded stock is very useful, taking a big chunk out of the gun’s very aggressive recoil. Read More: Best KG M40 CoD Vanguard class loadout – The M1941 Hand Stop is another tried and tested favorite amongst Vanguard attachments as, again, we really want to focus on lowering the gun’s recoil, and this attachment does just that. We’ve also slapped the .30-06 120 Round Boxes on it too as it gives us another 40 rounds to play with, meaning you can unload continuous fire on your enemies. Very simply, we want to be hidden from enemy radars wherever possible, so Subsonic rounds will help with this immeasurably. The Stippled Grip doesn’t offer as much recoil reduction as other grips, but we do like its Centering Speed bonus, meaning it can reposition a lot quicker after firing. To round things off, we’ve selected Sleight of Hand for its improved reload speeds, especially useful for an LMG, and Fully Loaded as it’s easy to hold the firing trigger and burn through rounds. Best Whitley LMG Vanguard class: Perks, Equipment & Field upgrades Perk 1: Ghost – Perk 2: Radar – Perk 3: Overkill – Secondary: MP40 – Lethal: Thermite – Tactical: Stim – Field Upgrade: Dead Drop – Your Whitley LMG loadout now needs the optimal Perks, Equipment, and Field Upgrades to ensure the build is perfect. Firstly, Ghost is pretty much a no-brainer as it’s instrumental in keeping your position secure. On the other hand, Radar is essential for doing the opposite, highlighting the movements and tracking the actions of your enemies wherever they are. Read More: Vanguard Ranked Play revealed – We feel the Whitley LMG would be complemented better by an AR or SMG, so Overkill will better suit the LMG instead of a traditional secondary pistol. A solid recommendation would be the MP40 SMG which you just can’t go wrong with. In terms of our equipment, Thermite is the perfect throwing device as it will quickly burn up the ground and cover a sizable radius in the process. You can easily score one or two kills if used effectively. If you find yourself taking some hits, but you’re still alive, then a quick Stim will patch you up in no time. Our Field Upgrade of choice here is Dead Drop as it allows us to store Killstreak progress, making higher-end ones more attainable. Best Whitley LMG class Vanguard tips As one of the game’s freshest weapons, people will still be figuring it out for some time to come. In the meantime, here are a few select tips to effectively take advantage of our best Whitley LMG class in Vanguard: Mid-range and beyond is your friend with the Whitley LMG, anything closer in and you’ll be seriously tested up against fast-firing SMGs – If you get the opportunity to, mount the Whitley LMG to improve its accuracy more so – As we’ve said, don’t forget about your Secondary weapon, whatever you decide to use – How to unlock the Whitley LMG in Vanguard Eager to get your hands on the Whitley and start upgrading it? Simply reach Tier 31 in the Battle Pass and it’ll be soon under your control. Naturally, this will take a decent bit of time to do if you haven’t bought the upgraded Battle Pass. But once you do, grind enough and those attachments will be yours. Alternative to the Whitley LMG Vanguard loadout A great recommendation if you’re not overly sold on the Whitley LMG is actually the MG42.

Best Welgun Warzone loadout: Class setup, Attachments, Perks ActivisionWarzone’s best Welgun loadout continues to be a monster and favorite in Season 3 Reloaded and we’ve got the best set of attachments and perks to complement the ultimate class setup in CoD. CoD Vanguard’s Welgun is a fast-firing SMG that arrived in the Season 1 Reloaded update. It’s safe to say the gun is extremely powerful in the right hands and even with nerfs is still a more than viable asset in the field. Choosing the correct perks and attachments are vital to improving movement speed and hipfire accuracy, the two keys behind this build. Here’s a full breakdown on everything needed to build the very best Welgun Warzone loadout in Season 3 Reloaded. Contents Best Welgun Warzone loadout – Best Welgun setup (Perks & equipment) – How to unlock the Welgun in Warzone – Alternatives to Welgun Warzone loadout – Best Welgun Warzone loadout Attachments Muzzle: Recoil Booster – Barrel: 120mm Gawain Short Barrel – Optic: Slate Reflector – Stock: Gawain Skeletal – Underbarrel: m1941 Hand Stop – Magazine:9mm 64 Round Magazine – Ammo Type: Hollow Point – Rear Grip: Fabric Grip – Perk 1: Acrobatic – Perk 2: Quick – When crafting the optimal Welgun loadout in Warzone, your main goal must be to increase mobility. From movement speed and ADS speed down to fire rate itself, leaning into the right stats can have you rushing through squads in the blink of an eye. Starting things off we have the Recoil Booster Muzzle and 120mm Gawain Short Barrel to boost the gun’s rate of fire. When combined, these attachments provide a lightning-quick fire rate that’s among the fastest of any SMG today. Next comes the Gawain Skeletal Stock to improve movement speed while using the Welgun. Unlike most picks in this category, the Gawain Skeletal has no major downsides, making it the obvious choice. Similarly, the m1941 Hand Stop Underbarrel gives the build an extra level of stability, bolstering the Welgun’s recoil. This makes it easy to land all your bullets and maximize the gun’s lethal TTK. The 9mm 64 Round Magazine is another crucial pick to help elevate the Welgun SMG in Warzone. Although it applies a slight nerf to movement speed, bigger mags and a faster reload are worth the tradeoff. This pick allows you to keep on firing without having to worry between gunfights. For Ammo Type we’ve settled on Hollow Point for a little extra damage. If you land any shots to your opponent’s arms or legs, they’ll be falling down as quickly as if you were landing headshots. Further improving mobility in a number of ways is the Fabric Grip Rear Grip, another must-have for this Welgun loadout. ADS speed, sprint speed, and hipfire accuracy are all improved by this lone attachment. Rounding things out, there’s no looking past Acrobatic and Quick for the two Weapon Perks. We’ve already buffed agility a great deal and now, these two Perks push your movement to another level. There’s no faster loadout in Warzone today than when these Perks combine. Best Welgun Warzone setup (Perks & Equipment) Perk 1: E.O.D. – Perk 2: Overkill – Perk 3: Amped – Secondary: STG44 – Lethal: Frag Grenade – Tactical: Stim – When choosing the best Perks for your Welgun loadout, you want to prioritize speed and versatility. E.O.D means you can bounce around and tank some explosives to keep your enemies guessing, Overkill gives us instant access to a longer-range weapon to complement the Welgun, and Amped allows quick switching between them. Given the fast fire rate of the Welgun, you need a strong Secondary weapon to swap to. You’ll be flipping back and forth in almost every fight, hence why we recommend bringing the STG44 into the match. Meanwhile, when it comes to Lethal and Tactical equipment, there’s no looking past the meta Frag Grenade and Stims combo. Frags have always been versatile in Warzone and Stims have jumped right to the top of the list in Warzone Season 3 due to their new movement buff potential. How to unlock the Welgun in Warzone To unlock the Welgun in Warzone, you have a few different options. First is the Vanguard Zombies method which requires you to get five rapid headshot kills in 50 different portal objectives. This is a time-consuming challenge so we recommend the Vanguard multiplayer method instead. This option requires you to get 10 SMG kills while aiming down sights in a single match 15 times. It’s worth noting, you have to play each match to completion as leaving early will not track any progress. While these are early methods to unlock the SMG, a unique Warzone challenge is sure to arrive in a matter of weeks as well if you don’t happen to own CoD Vanguard. Alternatives to the Welgun Warzone loadout If this rapid SMG loadout isn’t doing the job for you, it’s worth trying out a more precise AR build instead. We recommend the ultimate STG44 loadout as a strong alternative if you’d rather time your shots and pick your battles. Rather than blitzing through the map and constantly pushing the pace, the STG44 can be used for a more tactical approach. That’s everything you need to know about the very best Welgun Warzone loadout today. Rest assured, we’ll keep this loadout guide updated to reflect any adjustments in the latest Warzone patches.

Best weapons to use during Modern Warfare Beta Infinity WardWhile not as plentiful as the full release, there are still a lot of weapons to use in the Call of Duty Modern Warfare Beta, and we’re here to advise you on which guns are the best. The Modern Warfare Beta is packed with a lot of weapons that players will be able to try out ahead of the game’s full release on October 25. All in all, there are 40 guns that players can use to build classes with, including nine Assault Rifles, six SMGs, four shotguns, four LMGs, three Marskman Rifles, three Sniper Rifles, five Handguns, and 4 Launchers. However, there’s only a handful of those that are currently available, as the levels needed to be reached to unlock most of the weapons are past the current level cap, which was set to 10 for the first day of the beta. Read More: MW devs respond to no mini-map – That said, here are the best guns to use from each class from the first day of the beta. Assault Rifles – M4A1 The M4A1 is the first Assault Rifle you unlock in the Beta. While one of the default classes contains the FR 5.56 rifle, which certainly is a powerful one, of three ARs that can be unlocked prior to level 10, the M4A1 is certainly the one that packs the most punch. Its versatility allows it to be effective at long, medium, and short ranges, so players with fast reaction times can certainly use it as both an AR and SMG in one. As for its competition, neither really come close, as the AK47 has way too much recoil and the M13 does not do enough damage SMGs – MP5 The MP5 is viable at both close and medium ranges. There are only two SMGs that are available under level 10, and there’s no doubt that the MP5 stands out much more than the MP7. While both can shred close-range, the MP7’s recoil makes it unpredictable and harder to use at medium range, while the MP5 is stable enough where players can use it confidently past the close quarter gunfights. Shotguns – Model 680 At first glance, the 725 offers better stats than the Model 680 in every category except damage, mobility, and control. However, the one major drawback to the 725 is that it has only two bullets in its chamber. The Model 680 still deals a good amount of damage, and its larger clip size is arguably more worth having that longer range or accuracy, neither of which are really important for a shotgun. The Model 680 is pretty reliable, as long as you don’t shoot from too far away. Handguns – .50 GS The GS is the obvious choice when it comes to handguns. There is no question that the .50 GS is a much more viable option than the M19, which has less damage and range, even if it may offer more control. As far as semi-automatic pistols go, the GS is the most powerful one available, and that’s according to the game itself. When it comes to LMGs and Sniper Rifles, day one Beta players don’t have much of a choice, as the only weapons available are the M91 and AX-50 respectively. Read More: How to lean in Modern Warfare – However, when taking into account last month’s 2v2 Gunfight Alpha mode, which had a fair number of guns available, there are some weapons that will likely find their way onto this list once they are made available to unlock. The aforementioned FR 5.56 AR and AUG SMG are two that come to mind, both of which are available in the default classes and have proven to be very strong options.

Best weapons to use in Warzone Season 3: Guns to have in your loadouts ActivisionCall of Duty: Warzone has proved to be incredibly popular in its first year or so, with content now matching the Black Ops Cold War seasonal schedule. With Season 3 now live, we’re running through all the best weapons to use in Verdansk ’84. Warzone’s third season brought a lot of changes to Call of Duty’s sophomore battle royale. Some fans expected a new map altogether, but Raven revealed a re-skinned and reworked Verdansk ’84 instead. New guns were also dropped into the meta, alongside adjustments for the existing weapon pool. These adjustments, as is standard practice for new season updates, constituted a significant shake up of Warzone’s meta. While Season 2 was dominated by the FFAR 1 and its high fire rate, Season 3 is already shaping up to be slightly different. Here, we’re going to run through the best 7 weapons to use in Warzone’s third season, based on their overall performance in the BR. It’s subjective to a point, but meta changes always lend themselves to a few dominant weapons. We’ll continue to update this list as updates and new seasons arrive. Kar98k By the far the fastest sniper rifle (it’s technically classed as a Marksman Rifle) in Warzone, the Kar98k has seen its popularity increase almost continually, to the point where it is currently the most picked weapon in the game. Its high damage and impressive speed make it the go-to long-range rifle for almost all players, well above the next best sniper rifles. It was incredibly popular in Season 2 but, with no adjustments in the Season 3 update, remains just as strong as it has been for a while. CR-56 AMAX Added to Modern Warfare during its fourth season, the CR-56 AMAX has proven itself to be a candidate for the best AR in Warzone across the last season or so. Its medium-range capabilities make it a very strong weapon to have alongside any sniper or SMG. It’s not perfectly designed for longer-range gunfights, but can definitely hold its own because of its modest recoil. Krig 6 BOCW’s Krig 6 was one of the weapons which received buffs in Season 3’s update, seeing its head, neck, upper and lower torso damage multipliers all increased. While it still has a slightly slower rate of fire than many other ARs, well-placed shots into an opponent’s upper body will deal even more damage than in Season 2. That makes the prospect of dropping someone rapidly with the Krig very possible. MAC-10 The MAC-10 came to be the SMG that dominated Season 2 of Warzone, and Season 3 looks to be following a similar pattern. It did receive a very minor nerf which Raven explained was to “promote diversity” when it came to the SMGs players are choosing. However, the damage of the MAC-10 was never its biggest strength, and its incredible fire rate will go some way to mitigate against the damage nerf. LC10 Black Ops Cold War’s LC10 is the second SMG to feature on this list. Another pocket rocket akin to the above MAC-10, this gun packs a punch way beyond its size. It saw its base bullet velocity increased slightly in the April 22 update, adding to its already impressive profile. It’s not quite at the MAC-10’s level yet, but could see itself as an equal alternative before Season 3 is out. FARA 83 Another BOCW weapon, the FARA 83 is a viable alternative to the best ARs. It’s high damage means it can hold its own at most ranges, and compete against almost any gun. It received some buffs and nerfs in Season 3’s patch notes, seeing its minimum damage increased, but its maximum damage decrease. Whether it sees its relevance drop across the season remains to be seen, but we’ll update this list if it does. Grau 5.56 Long time fans of Warzone will know just how lethal the Grau has been at various points. It came to dominate much of Warzone’s first year thanks to its iron sights, range and non-existent recoil. The Season 3 Grau is not as strong, but it’s still one of the best ARs in the right hands. Control its modest recoil and you’ll be rewarded. That rounds off our top recommendations for weapons in Warzone Season 3. We’ll update this list as metas shift and weapons receive buffs and nerfs. In the meantime, drop in and enjoy these guns.

Best weapons to use in Black Ops Cold War: full Season 1 tier list Activision / TreyarchWith over 30 weapons to choose from in Black Ops Cold War, there’s just as much variety as any previous Call of Duty title. But which guns are the most powerful among the competitive and casual community? Find out which ones you should be using with our ultimate tier list. Black Ops Cold War is well into the thick of things with Season One, so players have plenty of time to figure out the meta. From the most popular guns to niche picks with some surprising power behind them, we’ve gone through and ranked every single weapon in the game. Early buffs and nerfs have already seen a number of weapons change place among the rankings. Rest assured, with every balance update we’ll be editing our list to reflect all the latest changes so you’re never left behind. If you wish to increase your KDA and overall success in Black Ops Cold War multiplayer, then be sure to check out our list of the best weapons below. You might even find a new weapon you’ve yet to try. S-Tier: AK-74u – Submachine Gun (Unlocked at Level 19) While the MP5 dominated the early weeks of Black Ops Cold War, significant nerfs to its damage range meant other SMGs had time to come to the forefront. The AK-74u is now arguably the strongest SMG in the game. It’s high bullet velocity and damage output allow you to get shots off quickly, while a 40 round mag attachment ensures you can stay in the action for longer. Pair these with only modest recoil, and it’s easy to see why this is one of the best SMGs in the current build of BOCW. From professional matches to casual lobbies, expect to see this SMG more than any other in the game. AK-47 – Assault Rifle (Unlocked at Level 7) Following the nerf to the AUG and the FFAR 1, this reliable old rifle has grown to be one of the strongest in all of BOCW. The slower rate of fire can make it rather unwieldy when compared to the other assault rifles on the list, but its high damage output gives it the edge. While past iterations of the AK-47 have been unusable because of significant recoil, this one is incredibly balanced, and talented players will be able to control it at even longer ranges. You might be occasionally outgunned by a Tactical Rifle but, for the most part, you’ll be able to compete with just about any opponent. MAC-10 – Submachine Gun (Available in the Season One Battle Pass) Since its arrival in Season One, the MAC-10 has become one of the most competitive SMGs in the game. It boasts a ridiculous rate of fire, allowing you to knock down foes in the blink of an eye. Combined with high damage output and fast movement speeds, it’s a monstrous weapon in the right hands. It can be easily unlocked through the Season One Battle Pass, meaning that anyone can grab it and start leveling it up. Don’t expect to be able to control its recoil all too well though. This weapon is all about running and gunning with attachments focused on rapid combat. Krig 6 – Assault Rifle (Unlocked at Level 16) Up next is the Krig 6. Like the AK-74u, this has risen to prominence off the back of nerfs to other ARs and Tactical Rifles. The Krig’s strength is in its damage and fire rate. While its recoil is moderate it is very predictable and vertical, meaning it is far easier than some other guns to overcome and compensate for. Another weakness of the Krig is its iron sights, which are pretty poor. However, throwing a Microflex or Millstop sight on it should negate most of these issues. Gallo SA12 – Shotgun (Unlocked at Level 34) The return of shotguns as secondaries has given players the chance to unleash a flurry of buckshot rounds in close-quarters fights. Not only does the Gallo SA12 (SPAS-12) look incredibly cool, it’s also an absolute monster on the game’s more urban maps. While the Gallo SA12 may not have the one-shot potential of the Hauer 77, the gun’s high rate of fire more than makes up for this. Tapping the trigger will allow you to constantly pepper your target with high burst rounds, dropping them within seconds. The hipfire of this shotgun is also incredibly accurate, so you don’t even need to waste time aiming down sights. Simply find a nice choke point on a map and begin farming kills whenever any players dare to enter your view. LW3 – Tundra – Sniper Rifle (Unlocked at Level 25) The LW3-Tundra quickly locked in its spot as the fan-favorite Sniper for the year. Being a bolt-action rifle, each hit is deadly with the potential to one-shot enemies from the chest-up. It’ll feel familiar in the hands of CoD veterans, being in-line with other bolt-action picks from previous years. With an abundance of attachments to unlock, you can fine-tune the weapon with faster scope speeds, bigger mags, and everything in between. If you’re looking to snipe in BOCW, you can’t look past this early unlock. A-Tier: M16 – Tactical Rifle (Unlocked at Level 10) – XM4 – Assault Rifle (Unlocked at Level 4) – 1911 – Pistol (Unlocked at Level 4) – Stoner 63 – Light Machine Gun (Unlocked at Level 4) – MP5 – Submachine Gun (Unlocked at Level 4) – Pelington 703 – Sniper Rifle (Unlocked at Level 4) – B-Tier: Groza – Assault Rifle (Available in the Season One Battle Pass) – Milano 821 – Submachine Gun (Unlocked at Level 13) – FFAR 1 – Assault Rifle (Unlocked at Level 40) – AUG – Tactical Rifle (Unlocked at Level 28) – Diamatti – Diamatti (Unlocked at Level 49) – DMR 14 – Tactical Rifle (Unlocked at Level 49) – M60 – Light Machine Gun (Unlocked at Level 46) – C-Tier: QBZ – Assault Rifle (Unlocked at Level 31) – KSP 45 – Submachine Gun (Unlocked at level 37) – Bullfrog – Submachine Gun (Unlocked at Level 43) – Type 63 – Tactical Rifle (Unlocked at Level 4) – RPD – Light Machine Gun (Unlocked at Level 22) – Hauer 77 – Shotgun (Unlocked at Level 7) – D-Tier: Magnum – Pistol (Unlocked at Level 31) – M79 – Special Weapon | Grenade Launcher (Unlocked at Level 52) – M60 – Light Machine Gun (Unlocked at Level 46) – M82 – Sniper Rifle (Unlocked at Level 55) – Streetsweeper – Shotgun (Available in the Season One Battle Pass) – Cigma 2 – Rocket Launcher (Unlocked at Level 4) – RPG-7 – Rocket Launcher (Unlocked at Level 40) – So there you have it, these are the best guns to use in Black Ops Cold War.

Best weapons in Modern Warfare 3: All guns ranked ActivisionThere’s a wide array of weapons in Modern Warfare 3, so we’ve ranked them from best to worst for players to pick the one that suits them better. Here is the full-tiered list for all guns in MW3. Modern Warfare 3 features all-new gameplay, movement mechanics, Killstreaks, Perks, and Equipment, as well as including every Modern Warfare 2 map from the iconic 2009 game. There are 36 weapons players can choose from in MW3, including a whole heap of returning classic weapons as well as brand-new ones. With so many options to try, it can be hard to figure out which are the best guns and what weapons suit you best. So, here are the best Modern Warfare 3 weapons you should be using in the game, along with the complete ranked list. Best Modern Warfare 3 weapons ranked 5. Striker There isn’t much in it between the Rival-9 and the Striker, with the former edging it due to its insanely fast fire rate. If you are starting out, then this gun may be your best SMG option as it is easier to control. Nostalgic CoD fans will instantly recognize it as the UMP-45, which used to dominate lobbies in the original Modern Warfare 2 game and be many players’ gun of choice. It returns with its typical strengths of being mobile with a fast Time To Kill for aggressive running and gunning. See the best Striker MW3 loadout here. 4. BAS-B The BAS-B is the third strongest AR in the game, which is also very similar to the MCW but comes with a slower fire rate. It does however beat the MCW at long range with its steadier aim, but when roaming around the map it has proven to be fairly weak in closer/mid-range combat. See the best BAS-B MW3 loadout here. 3. Rival-9 Another returning gun that has stormed to the top of the meta is the 2019 Modern Warfare CX-9 SMG, this time called the Rival-9. In MW3, the best SMG in the game is favored for its rapid-fire rate which is able to kill enemies fast as long as you hit your targets. It is incredibly compact allowing players to quickly move around the map and excel in close-quarters combat. Although its long-range damage falls short, it still performs well in mid-range gunfights, making it a fairly strong all-round SMG. See the best Rival-9 MW3 loadout here. 2. MTZ-556 Coming in at a close second is the MTZ-556, which has still proven itself to be a powerful CoD gun and fits a similar profile as the MCW. It is an easy-to-use AR that has made it a popular choice since the beta, whose high fire rate, range, and damage make it equally as good for both long-range and close-quarters combat. See the best MTZ-556 MW3 loadout here. 1. MCW The fan-favorite and dominant ACR from the original Modern Warfare 2 game makes its return as the MCW. The gun boasts its infamous low recoil, high fire rate, and long damage range to make it the best gun to use in the game right now. Since the beta launched it has been one of the top choices and it has continued to take over the meta due to its versatility and ability to win most gunfights at any range. See the best MCW MW3 loadout here. Overall, be sure to try out all the best weapons above to find the ones that suit you the most and help you storm to the top of the Modern Warfare 3 scoreboards. Every Modern Warfare 3 gun ranked Here’s the complete list with all the weapons available in the game ranked based on their effectiveness. Keep in mind that this doesn’t mean that the ones at the bottom are useless, it’s all up to the player’s style and abilities.

Best weapons for Outbreak mode in Black Ops Cold War Zombies ActivisionWhile Zombies maps generally play different from one another, Black Ops Cold War’s new Outbreak mode almost feels like an entirely different game, mostly due to its open-world nature. Because of this, you’ll probably want to use a different setup than what you’re used to. With the release of Outbreak in Black Ops Cold War, fans now have the ability to experience a Zombies experience on a large-scale, almost open-world map, which is something that players have been clamoring for quite some time. Because of this design change, fans will once again have to change up how they play and, most importantly, what weapons they use while exploring all the maps. Here are some of the best ones that you can use in Black Ops Cold War’s Outbreak mode. Wonder Weapons There are currently three Wonder Weapons available in Outbreak as far as we know (the Ray Gun, the D.I.E. Shockwave, and the RAI K-84) and, while each of them could easily be given their own spots on this list individually, there are also some normal weapons that deserve the time in the spotlight. The inclusion of the Wonder Weapons is a no-brainer: they are easily the most powerful weapons in Zombies and getting even one of them can guarantee your ascension into harder objectives here in Outbreak. The only problem is that, as of the time of this writing, there’s no easy way to get your hands on them. They are currently only available through the trial rewards, ground loot from a dead Megaton, or the Mystery Box. That being said, if you can find them, it’ll be well worth it. M16 While the weapon is currently dominating in Warzone right now, the M16 is also one of the more useful weapons in Outbreak mode. Because of the fact that the game features a mix of long-range and QCB engagements, throwing a scope on the burst-fire weapon can help you take out the undead with ease. The Pack-a-Punch version is even better, turning the weapon into a six-round-burst gun, capable of taking down larger hordes without much hassle. If you equip this as your starting gun, you’ll have a good time, especially if you choose to upgrade it as much as you can. Stoner 63 One weapon that’s seemingly been consistent over all three Black Ops Cold War Zombies experiences is the Stoner 63 LMG. The weapon has a pretty good rate-of-fire, a large ammo supply, and relatively low recoil, making it ideal for Outbreak’s demanding engagements. While it may be a bit difficult to take out Zombies at a distance with the Stoner, it’s still a solid choice, especially compared to the other LMGs in the game right now. FARA 83 This one might require a bit more testing considering it released right alongside the Outbreak mode itself, however, the new FARA 83 assault rifle seems to be a pretty viable option within the new mode, at least for the early rounds. The weapon has a pretty controllable recoil, especially if you put on attachments to help you like grips. On top of that, the fire-rate’s pretty solid, the mobility’s good, and the damage it outputs will help you drop Zombies no problem. The only inherent issue with the FARA is the magazine size. It’s pretty easy to dump an entire magazine into a horde so you may want to throw on an extended mag to help you out. Otherwise, it seems like a pretty solid option. Of course, this isn’t to say that only these weapons are solid choices but if you use these, you’ll have a much easier time in Black Ops Cold War’s new Outbreak mode. If any new guns seem to dominate in the mode as time goes on, we’ll update this piece accordingly.

Best weapons for Firebase Z in Black Ops Cold War Zombies ActivisionWith the release of Firebase Z in Black Ops Cold War, many players might find themselves daunted by the weapons on offer, and which are the best to use. Here are few recommendations to help you out. Firebase Z is finally out in the wild right now and fans are slowly noticing that it plays a bit different compared to Die Maschine. You’ll find yourself a bit more cramped on this new map. This means that your style of play might be a little different, and the weapons you use might be different. Luckily, there are a few recommendations that you can take advantage of in order to make your experience not as chaotic. RAI K-84 This one is a bit of a no brainer but it’s still worth pointing out. The new Wonder Weapon in the game is fantastic, as it’s basically an automatic laser rifle with some incredibly high damage. The Pack-A-Punched version also includes a grenade launcher that creates a vortex attracting Zombies. The only problem is that it’s a bit hard to get. Currently, the only way you can get it is if you build it, which is a bit long and drawn out, or if you get it from the Mystery Box, which requires an insane amount of luck. That being said, it’s well worth the effort. Groza The Groza assault rifle was added to the game with the launch of Season 1 and it’s a surprisingly decent weapon on Firebase Z. It does have high recoil, which can be mitigated with the right attachments, but considering a lot of the map is in close quarters, it doesn’t matter that much. It can be equipped as a starting weapon, so you can enter the game with it, then upgrade it at either the Pack-A-Punch machine or the standard upgrade station using parts. To call it formidable would be an understatement. Gallo SA12 The Gallo was a really solid choice in Die Maschine and it still excels here in Firebase Z. It’s decent rate of fire, high damage, and long range makes it a powerhouse against the Zombie hordes, even in its base form. Upgrading it also does wonders, but you can survive using the base version for a number of rounds. Again, this weapon can also be equipped as a starting weapon and don’t be afraid to use it as such. It’ll get you far. Stoner 63 Rounding out our list is the Stoner 63, a light-machine gun. This weapon is great all around. It has the best accuracy in the LMG class, and it has pretty good damage as well. Pack-A-Punched, it’s even more of a beast, capable of firing off a ton of rounds into a horde of Zombies. While you can equip it as a starting weapon, you may want to wait to buy it off the wall. Players can find the Stoner in the room that unlocks after you turn on the power with a high chance of spawning its blue rarity, high-damage variant. With the right upgrades, any weapon can be formidable. That being said, if you get these weapons, you can rest assured you’ll be lasting well into the later rounds.

12 best weapons to use in Call of Duty Mobile Activision – Call of DutyThe multiplayer portion of the recently released Call of Duty Mobile game has a lot of weapons that players can choose from, and we’re here to advise you on which guns are the best to use. Released on October 1, Call of Duty Mobile has become an instant hit within the community, generating over 20 million downloads and $2 million in revenue after just two days, according to Sensor Tower estimates. Many have reacted very positively to how polished and complete the game was at launch, including additional modes such as a battle royale and ranked playlist, something that not even regular titles usually feature at release. The multiplayer is, of course, the biggest of the bunch, and it has a plethora of different weapons that players can use, so many that making the right choice may not always be easy. Read More: Pros stunned at CoD Mobile ranked mode – That said, here are the best guns to use from each category of weapons in CoD Mobile. Best Assault Rifles in CoD Mobile M4 (unlocked at level two) Damage 45 – Fire Rate 60 – Accuracy 70 – Range 45 – Mobility 60 – The M4 has a very balanced stat profile, combining a strong rate of fire and accuracy. This weapon is certainly more prolific at closer ranges, but equipped with the right attachments, it can be a very powerful gun. AK47 (unlocked at level 23) Damage 70 – Fire Rate 55 – Accuracy 45 – Range 65 – Mobility 60 – The only real issue with this weapon is its accuracy, which is low because of the high recoil and kickback when shooting. However, the damage, fire rate, range, and mobility are all more than decent, making it a strong choice, especially when paired with good attachments. M16 (unlocked at lever 46) Damage 65 – Fire Rate 45 – Accuracy 60 – Range 60 – Mobility 60 – An iconic weapon in the Call of Duty franchise, the M16 is once again a very viable choice in CoD Mobile., With four stats above 60, particularly damage, accuracy, and range, this classic burst weapon is great for those who like to post up on power positions. Best Submachine Guns in CoD Mobile AK-74U (unlocked at level 7) Damage 80 – Fire Rate 60 – Accuracy 55 – Range 35 – Mobility 75 – This weapon is essentially an assault rifle in SMG form, as its damage and accuracy are both very good for all types of players. The 75 mobility allows it to be used in run-and-gun style, with more than enough damage to punish enemies. Chicom (unlocked at level 72) Damage 75 – Fire Rate 65 – Accuracy 60 – Range 40 – Mobility 80 – There really isn’t much that can be said about this gun other than that it’s stats are impeccable. The only issue with this gun is its relatively low range, but if you are the type to get in opponents’ faces, then you might be unstoppable with this weapon in your hands. Best Sniper Rifles in CoD Mobile DL Q33 (unlocked at level one) Damage 90 – Fire Rate 15 – Accuracy 60 – Range 45 – Mobility 95 – Sometimes the default choice is the best one, and that certainly applies with the DL Q33. What makes this weapon standout is its high damage and good accuracy, coupled with the fact that it supports four attachments that can make this a true powerhouse sniper. M21 EBR Damage 80 – Fire Rate 35 – Accuracy 60 – Range 95 – Mobility 45 – The fact that the M21 EBR has a low damage profile shouldn’t be a major concern, because that is compensated for with the high fire rate, especially when Tactical Scope is equipped. This allows you to take extra shots where other snipers may only be able to fire off a single round. Best Light Machine Guns (LMG) in CoD Mobile UL736 (unlocked at level 108) Damage 70 – Fire Rate 60 – Accuracy 45 – Range 55 – Mobility 40 – On paper, this LMG has the same stats as the S36, but what sets it apart are the stat boosts it gets when equipped with the proper attachments. The UL736 is by far the most potent and balanced weapon in the LMG class. Best Shotguns in CoD Mobile BY15 (unlocked at level 15) Damage 85 – Fire Rate 20 – Accuracy 80 – Range 30 – Mobility 75 – This shotgun has a very balanced profile of high damage and decent fire rate, making it extremely potent in close quarters combat. If the first shot you snap off doesn’t kill the enemy, you are afforded enough time to fire off a second one. Striker (unlocked at level 51) Damage 70 – Fire Rate 35 – Accuracy 85 – Range 30 – Mobility 75 – The Striker is probably the best shotgun available, as it has decent damage, very good fire rate, exceptional accuracy, and its range can surprisingly be good when aiming down sights. Best Pistols in CoD Mobile Both the MW11 and J358 are good enough to use in you everyday loadout, and the choice you make has to depend on whether you have good aim or not. MW11 Damage 65 – Fire Rate 40 – Accuracy 55 – Range 20 – Mobility 90 – If you don’t trust yourself to be able to consistently hit shots, this handgun is for you, as its higher fire rate allows you to fire more rounds at the expense of damage and overall accuracy. J358 Damage 80 – Fire Rate 15 – Accuracy 70 – Range 35 – Mobility 90 – This pistol is for those who can confidently rely on their aim, as its low fire rate means you have to be able to hit enemies before they can eliminate you. The reward with this weapon is the higher damage, better range, and more accuracy.

Best ways to move faster in Black Ops 4 Multiplayer Moving around the map quickly is essential to any first-person shooter and Black Ops 4 is no different, as moving as fast as possible can be the difference between winning and losing. Since the release of Black Ops 4 on October 12, players have been experimenting with different setups to determine the best ways to play in every situation. From attachments to gun setups to the best perks, almost every question has been answered when it comes to Black Ops 4 Multiplayer. One thing that hadn’t been touched on thus far, however, was the best ways to move faster when playing Multiplayer. Thankfully, ‘TheXclusiveAce’ is back with another video that goes in-depth on the best methods for getting around your favorite maps much quicker. All of his tips aren’t listed here, so be sure to check out the video to get the full rundown. Unsurprisingly, the best way to simply move faster without utilizing any sort of slide techniques is with the Lightweight perk. While lightweight gives you a bit less of a boost than in previous games, the perk still gives you a straight up 4.5% boost, making it a must-have if your goal is to simply run faster. If you don’t want to use Lightweight since you prefer using Gung-Ho or another perk in that slot, you can utilize TheXclusiveAce’s “Jump, Slide, Jump” method for a 3% boost without the use of any perks. All you have to do is jump into a slide and then jump out of a slide to easily receive this slight boost. Now, if you really want to move faster, you can add in the above method with the Lightweight and Dexterity perks for a massive 10% boost, allowing you to get to the pivotal points on the map much faster than your opposition.

Best way to use zombie abilities in Warzone’s Zombie Royale Activision / Infinity WardSurviving as one of Warzone’s fleshy undead can be a little tricky in the new Zombie Royale mode, but these tips should have you ripping and tearing your way to victory in no time. [jwplayer S757WrdH] Warzone’s Halloween festivities are well underway and players have been busy unleashing their inner beast when playing the terrifyingly good LTM, Zombie Royale. The frozen fields of Verdansk have been cloaked in darkness and squads will need to work together if they wish to survive the horrors that await them. In this mode, dead operators skip the Gulag and instead come back as nightmarish zombies. While in this new undead form, players drop all their current equipment and perks. If you wish to ever see your human form again, you’ll need to use your unique abilities to kill any players that dare to walk amongst the undead. While Zombie Royale’s reanimated corpses may have access to some incredibly potent attacks, they can be killed incredibly easily if you’re not careful. In order to help you get to grips with your newfound zombie form, we’ve put together a handy survival guide that should help you secure more kills. Zombie abilities Passive abilities Warzone’s zombies aren’t your standard shambling corpses – in fact, they have incredible agility. Their passive ability gives every undead player faster movement speed and stronger melee attacks, allowing you to quickly chase down your fleeing victims. Once you’ve tracked them down, swipe at them with your deadly strikes to snuff their life out for good. Zombies also have superior vision and can easily see nearby operators. Enemy players are highlighted and their footprints can be tracked, giving you plenty of opportunities to pounce on your newfound target. If that wasn’t enough, zombies are also immune to the gas circle and gas grenades. This allows you to set up some frightfully sneaky plays. Charged Jump Arguably the most fun Zombie ability is the Charged Jump. This highly mobile move allows you to effortlessly leap onto rooftops, scale cliffs, evade enemy fire and initiate fights. You can adjust both the distance and height by holding down the Charged Jump button, so be sure to experiment with this before leaping towards your enemy. EMP Blast This ability works exactly the same as Modern Warefare’s EMP Drone in that it destroys enemy electronics, equipment, vehicles, and disables digital optics. Your enemy’s HUD will also be disabled if they get caught within the blast’s radius. Gas Grenade Gas Grenades are incredibly potent in Warzone since they disorient your enemies and slow down their movements. Combine this with the high mobility from Zombie Royale’s undead and you have a lethal combination. Zombie ability tips Before you go chasing the nearest player, it’s often best to scan your surroundings for any enemy players that are alone. Not only will this stop your fleshy body from being riddled with bullets, it will also increase your chances of securing a successful kill. While it can be tempting to rush into the fray with your Charged Jump, it does give away your position thanks to the ability’s glow effect. Instead, it’s often best to use the cover of darkness to sneak up on them. Once you’ve successfully got within a few meters, it’s time to unleash your EMP Blast. This will instantly destroy any Proximity Mines and Claymore’s, allowing you to safely enter even the most fortified defenses. To make matters even better, the initial blast also reduces visibility and will cause most players to panic — giving you the moment to strike. Once you have disabled any equipment and digital optics, it’s time to throw in your Gas Grenade. When the grenade has filled the room with deadly toxins, instantly run in and begin clawing away at your hapless victim. The slowing effect and overall disorientation from both abilities should make any escape futile. Even if your enemy does manage to make a break for it, simply activate your Charged Jump to catch up to them. Just be aware that doing this will make you highly visible to nearby squads, so only use this ability when you have to. If you use these tips, you’ll be able to secure more kills as a zombie in Warzone’s Zombie Royale mode.

Best way to use the Cluster Strike & Precision Airstrike in Warzone ActivisionCall of Duty Warzone YouTuber JGOD has explained how and when you should be using streaks in Warzone, with specific uses for both the Cluster Strike and Precision Airstrike that could change your game. Airstrikes aren’t the most popular things you’ll buy from the Buy Stations in Verdansk. Most commonly, you’ll be looking to pick up a Loadout Drop, Armor Plates or a UAV. That said, if you’ve got the money to spare, the streaks on offer — namely the Precision Airstrike and the Cluster Strike — can come in particularly handy. But how do you know which one you should pick, or the best time to use them? It may seem simple at first glance: you pick up your streak and aim it at a rooftop to take out those annoying campers, or at a team you’ve seen out in the distance. But, you might not have considered the strategy behind your decision, and considered that there’s way more to it than simply attempting to take out an enemy, as Call of Duty YouTuber JGOD explains in a video comparing the two streaks, trying to figure out which is best. After showing how the two strikes work, with the Cluster seeming much more random than the Precision (which makes a lot of sense, given the name), and JGOD explained when you should be choosing to use the Cluster Strike over the Precision. “If you need to rotate from one location to another, then maybe you put a Cluster on there because look also at how long it lasts.” Topic starts at 8:02 JGOD goes on to explain that the Precision Airstrike would be preferred if you’re trying to target a rooftop or finishing a down, such as if you’ve sniped someone over a long distance and can’t get the angle on them to finish the job. Obviously, a lot of it comes down to personal preference, but it’s well worth being aware of the circle and where you’re likely to rotate to next time you’re deciding which streak to buy at the Buy Station. If you think you might face some trouble getting into the new circle, the Cluster Strike might be best, but if you want to take over a building roof, then the Precision is the most viable option.

Best Warzone XM4 loadout? FaZe Booya destroys hacker lobby with XM4 AR class Activision / Instagram, @gd.booyaThe XM4 is Call of Duty: Warzone’s latest sweetheart, as the AR has gotten even more buffs in Season 4. But, while most prefer it as an SMG, FaZe Booya has shown off a long-range AR XM4 loadout that shreds. It’s hard to get kills when you have a hacker in your lobby, as all of their guns are magically buffed by unfair cheats. But you have a chance, albeit a slim one, when you’re using the right guns. That was the case for FaZe Clan and Nuke Squad’s Booya, who managed to drop 34 kills and secure the win with a unique loadout. Using the XM4 as a long-range AR and a Cold War MP5 for close-quarters action, the streamer slapped his lobby around with ease. Despite the squad complaining about hackers and stream snipers, Booya was locked in and that XM4 crosshair was not moving. If you’re bored of the FARA 83, then this might just be the next-best AR at range. Booya’s best Warzone XM4 AR loadout Muzzle: Agency Suppressor – Barrel: 13.5” Task Force – Optic: Axial Arms 3x – Underbarrel: Field Agent Grip – Ammunition: STANAG 60 Rnd – As you can see, this build is very different from the SMG versions of the XM4. While it has the same ammunition and barrel as most of those, it sacrifices mobility for stability and range with the muzzle, optic, and underbarrel. Of course, it’s easiest to see how much of a laser this gun becomes by watching a talented player use it. As you can see in the gameplay, the XM4’s recoil pattern is a lot steadier to use now — making it effective at range. Booya is able to rip enemies out of the skies a few times, thanks in large part to the Field Agent Grip, Agency Suppressor, and Axial Arms 3x. Most players are comparing this XM4 class to the pre-nerf AMAX, where it’s a high-damage AR that’s nasty from deep if you can get used to the recoil. If you want higher damage than the FARA and are confident in your recoil control, this could be a very fun option to bring out.

In Season 5 Reloaded, it’s currently the most popular AR in the game with a 9.2% pick rate and shreds opponents at medium to long range. It has the damage of an AR and can output at the rate of an SMG, making the weapon an easy gun to consider during Warzone Season 5 Reloaded. If you’re looking for an alternative Cooper Carbine loadout, consider checking out our dedicated guide for the weapon. 1. Armaguerra 43 Attachments Muzzle: Recoil Booster – Barrel: Imerito 550mm 03P – Optic: Slate Reflector – Stock: Imerito TA Skeletal – Underbarrel: SG98 Compact – Magazine: 9mm 60 Round Mags – Ammo Type: Lengthened – Rear Grip: Taped Grip – Perk 1: Hardscope – Perk 2: Quick – A rejig at the top has seen the Armaguerra come to the fore a lot more and become recognized as CoD Warzone’s elite killer during a game.

Best Warzone weapons in Season 5 after Bruen nerfs Infinity WardWarzone Season 5 has brought changes to some to the best weapons in Call of Duty’s battle royale, with significant nerfs to the Bruen now affecting the meta. Here are the best Season 5 weapons to use following the latest changes. The Season 5 updates have shaken up quite a lot in Warzone with major map changes, new operators, and significant weapon tuning all being added. However, following the latest weapon balance patch on August 20, which saw a Famas shotgun fix and Bruen nerfs, plenty of Warzone players were left unsure just on what loadouts to run. Best Warzone guns in Season 5 Popular Call of Duty YouTuber eColiEspresso released a video addressing this issue, highlighting each of the weapons that shine in the current meta. You can find a list of the top Season 5 weapons below. Kilo 141 Check out our best Kilo loadouts here With the top guns taking a hit in recent seasons, the Kilo has surprisingly come out as one of the most reliable weapons in Warzone. Low recoil and high fire rate allows you to put out plenty of damage, particularly in medium to long-range gunfights across Verdansk. While the Kilo does not shred opponents as quickly as the pre-patch Bruen, it can be still more than enough to help you fight for that Warzone victory. Grau 5.56 Check out our best Grau loadouts here Despite also receiving nerfs in Season 4, the Grau is still considered one of the best guns in coming into this current Warzone season. As it was considered quite overpowered in past seasons, the changes it received only brought it in-line with other top-tier weapons, meaning that it has never really left the meta since it was introduced. MP5 Best Mp5 loadout for Warzone in Season 5 The Mp5 is one of the most consistent weapons in the SMG class and has seen quite a resurgence in Warzone Season 5. While many players had opted for the Mp7 in recent months, this classic SMG has managed to find its way back into the meta. The Mp5 excels in all categories, giving players plenty of mobility, damage output, and it even has ridiculous range compared to other weapons in its class. Bruen Check out the best Bruen loadouts here Although it was the latest weapon to be hit with some nerfs, much like the Grau, the Bruen LMG is still an incredibly viable choice for taking down enemies at long range. While it is not as devastating as it once was, the Bruen still stacks up well against other weapons and remains to be one of the strongest guns in the current meta. eColiEspresso also shared some honorable mentions to weapons like the FAL and CR.56 AMAX, which are right outside of the top tier but can be a little bit more difficult to use. Other weapons such as the M4a1 and Mp7 were also listed, although the YouTuber claimed that weapons such as the Grau and Mp5 had done enough to keep them outside of the current meta.

Best Warzone loadout after DMR nerf: 8 classes for all playstyles ActivisionThe DMR 14 has received yet another a nerf in Warzone, and while it’s still strong pick, it’s no longer the crazy powerhouse it once was. Fortuantely, these eight weapons will help you find a worthy replacement. The DMR has become arguably one of the most overpowered weapons in Call of Duty history, which definitely sets it alongside some elite competition. In most Warzone lobbies now, you’ll be hard-pressed to find a squad not using the DMR even after both nerfs, which is also often paired with the Mac-10 SMG to capitalize on engagements at any range. But now that it’s been nerfed twice, other guns now have the opportunity to shine, so here’s the weapons we think you could look at to replace the DMR if you want to try out something else. Best Type 63 Warzone loadout Muzzle: GRU Silencer – Barrel: 16.4 Rapid Fire – Underbarrel: Spetsnaz Ergonomic Grip – Ammunition: 38 Rnd Speed Mag – Optic: Axial Arms 3x – The obvious choice, the Type 63 is another single-fire, tactical rifle from Black Ops Cold War, which isn’t quite as strong as the DMR but still packs a punch. This loadout maximizes the Type 63’s bullet velocity, recoil control, and rate of fire. It has a very similar playstyle to that of the DMR, making it the perfect gun to use if you still love the tactical rifle playstyle . Despite the nerfs, it’s still a very powerful weapon and one you’ll want to utilize. Best Krig 6 Warzone loadout Muzzle: Agency Suppressor – Optic: Axial Arms 3x – Barrel: 19.7” Takedown – Underbarrel: Field Agent Grip – Magazine: Salvo 60 Rnd Fast Mag – At first, the Black Ops Cold War assault rifles didn’t quite look up to par with their Modern Warfare counterparts, but with some slight adjustments, they are more viable than ever before. This is especially true with the changes made to the Agency Suppressor, which brought it more in line with the Monolithic Suppressor on Modern Warfare’s weapons. It won’t be quite as powerful as the DMR or the Type 63, but it will offer a full-auto alternative that is incredibly satisfying to play with in Verdansk. Best Kar98k Warzone loadout Muzzle: Monolithic Suppressor – Barrel: Singuard Custom 27.6” – Laser: Tac Laser – Optic: Sniper Scope – Rear Grip: Stippled Grip Tape – If you’re looking for a marksman rifle that can replicate the strength and range of the DMR, the Kar98k is a great sniper for just that. It has a higher rate of fire than other sniper rifles, as is expected from a marksman rifle, and shouldn’t leave too many hitmakers, providing you maintain a decent level of accuracy. You won’t be able to spam it like the DMR or the Type 63, but as long as you hit your shots, it can take down enemies at most ranges with relative ease. Best Kilo 141 Warzone loadout Muzzle: Monolithic Suppressor – Barrel: Singuard Arms 16.6″ SOCOM – Optic: VLK 3.0x Optic – Underbarell: Commando Foregrip – Ammunition: 60 Round Mags – Of course, one likely scenario, once the DMR is nerfed again, is that the Kilo 141 becomes the main assault rifle to run again. While the Kilo/R9 meta started to become stale prior to Season 1, it was arguably not as frustrating as the current DMR meta, so expect to see the MW assault rifle crop up far more in the coming weeks. Best Grau Warzone loadout Muzzle: Monolithic Suppressor. – Barrel: Tempus 26.4” Archangel. – Optic: VLK 3.0x Optic. – Underbarrel: Ranger Foregrip. – Ammunition: 60 Round Mags. – Remember the Grau assault rifle? It was the go-to in the early days of Warzone and while it has lost popularity over time, this AR still remains a perfectly viable weapon. With the right loadout, the Grau hardly has any recoil, and a nice iron sight means you don’t even need to tack on an optic, giving you the option to add more attachments elsewhere. Of course, whacking on VLK 3.0x does enable you to secure some incredibly accurate kills. Best FFAR 1 Warzone loadout Muzzle: Agency Suppressor – Barrel: 19.5″ Task Force – Optic: Visiontech 2x – Underbarrel: Field Agent Grip – Ammunition: Salvo 50 Rnd Fast Mag – The FFAR has verged on being meta before, but it seems to be a solid contender for the time being. Its high rate of fire and clear iron sights makes it incredibly formidable amongst other ARs in the game. While it does have some high recoil, its relatively controllable, meaning it’s not too hard to get the hang of it after using it for a bit. The FFAR has been subject to nerfs and buffs in the past, so it’s unclear just how much longer it’ll be viable but for now, it stands as a solid choice. Most notably, players have modified it to function like an SMG and have begun pairing it with a Kar98k. Best CR-95 AMAX Warzone loadout Muzzle: Monolithic Suppressor – Barrel: XRK Zodiac S440 – Optic: VLK 3.0x Optic – Underbarrel: Commando Foregrip – Ammunition: 45 Round Mags – Another weapon from the Modern Warfare era that’s been consistently good ever since it was released in-game is the CR-95 AMAX. While it’s not the easiest gun to control, it does have a pretty solid fire-rate and a lot of damage to go along with it. Its recoil is pretty high, but it’s almost exclusively vertical, meaning you can learn and adapt to it pretty easily. Best Groza Warzone loadout Optic: Microflex LED – Muzzle: GRU Suppressor – Underbarrell: Spetsnaz Grip – Barrel: 16.7 VDV Reinforced – Ammunition: VDV 60 RND Fast Mag – The Groza is technically the newest weapon on this list, as it was added to both Black Ops Cold War and Warzone during the game’s Season 1 update in December 2020, but it’s already showing some promise in the game’s meta and it’s easy to see why. It has the highest base damage out of all the Black Ops Cold War weapons right now, and it’s relatively solid in all other statistical areas. The worst part about the Groza seems to be the high recoil and the bizarre-looking iron sights, which genuinely might throw off some people. So, those are the weapons we think will replace the DMR now that it’s been hit by the developers. Of course, even after it’s second nerfing, it’s still a very formidable weapon if you know how to use it, but now other options have the chance to shine. There are other guns that could work of course, such as the M4-A1 assault rifle and Kar98k marksman rifle, but in our eyes, they’re not quite of the same caliber as those above.

Best Warzone TEC 9 SMG class loadout: Attachments, perks, setup ActivisionThe TEC 9 is Warzone’s newest submachine gun that has been added with Season 5. Here are the best attachments and loadout to use while running around Verdansk. Warzone’s Season 5 update is finally live and players can now get their hands on all the new content. This includes new POIs, weapons, and even a revamped Gulag. One of the main focuses from this update is the new weapons that have been added to Warzone. The TEC 9 is a popular weapon that is finally making its CoD debut. As an SMG, this gun is meant to get up close and personal with people, but unlike traditional SMGs this defaults to semi-automatic. However, there are attachments that could make this weapon one of Warzone’s most dominant guns. Best TEC 9 loadout for Warzone Attachments Muzzle: Full Auto Repeater – Barrel: 4.9” Task Force – Laser: Tiger Team Spotlight – Stock: Raider Stock – Ammunition: STANAG 48 Rnd – What Makes the TEC 9 special is the fact that you can swap out muzzles to change this from a burst to fully automatic. The Full Auto Repeater muzzle is definitely the way to go as it allows the gun to become an auto SMG and deadly up close. Next up, you’ll want to run the 4.9” Task Force barrel because this will give the SMG a greater damage range. Also this barrel helps get the TTK up and be able to compete with other weapons in this class. Pairing up the Tiger Team Spotlight laser and the Raider Stock helps because they both increase the movement speed while holding the gun and the ADS movement speed. Also, this will increase your spring to fire time which is really important for submachine guns. Finally, when using the full auto muzzle you’ll want the STANAG 48 Rnd because this is the biggest mag that the gun can use and it gives enough bullets for a full team wipe. Best TEC 9 setup (Perks & equipment) Perk 1: E.O.D. – Perk 2: Tempered – Perk 3: Combat Scout – Secondary: Knife – Lethal: Throwing Knife – Tactical: Heartbeat Sensor – This TEC 9 is meant to get up close and personal with players so there’s no need to have another weapon. However, we still recommend picking one up off your enemies. The perks you want are a bit different with Season 5. You’ll still want to run E.O.D. but two new perks were introduced to Warzone so definitely give these a go before they are nerfed. Tempered allows you to use fewer armor plates and Combat Scout is basically wall hacks for players. For equipment, a Throwing Knife will help finish off downed enemies so you do not need to waste bullets. Also, the Heartbeat Sensor will allow you to see if players are close by and let you know when a fight could break out. How to unlock the TEC 9 in Warzone To unlock the TEC 9 all you need to do is play the game. The weapon is unlocked when reaching the free Tier 31 in the Battle Pass. However, players can also unlock the weapons by purchasing a weapon bundle when it appears in the store. This can give players access faster, but you’ll still need to level it up yourself to modify the attachments. Alternative to the TEC 9 loadout If you don’t want to grind out for the new TEC 9 then you’ll probably want to give the OTs 9 or CX-9 a try. These weapons should play very similar to the TEC 9 with the fire rate and damage range. Also, with season 5 the devs announced they would be nerfing the LC10 so for now you might want to stay away from that gun.
