Wildcards are essentially just 'super perks' that add polish to one's loadout. That said, there are a couple that really jump off the screen at first look. Perks are extremely dependent on style of play, so it's different to recommend a specific set to choose. It's probably going to be the second most popular gun in its class for the foreseeable future behind the MP5, but balancing adjustment updatesВ from Treyarch could change the dynamic there. The AK-74U represents a nice in between weapon that offers some of the draws of assault rifles and SMGs.

Attachments such as the Airborne Elastic Wrap and theВ 13.5'' Task ForceВ barrelВ really make the M4 play up from its base build. It's not theВ beast it was in Modern Warfare, but it still feels very solid in Black Ops Cold War as an alternative to the AK-47.

The M4 is another weapon that has been a go-to across generations of Call of Duty. This is as classic of a gun as it gets, and about as viable as the rifle hasВ been in a Call of Duty game for a while. The AK-47's iron sights are also far less clunky than the iron sights on some of the other top weapons, which provides the option to forgo a sight attachment in favor of other advantages. It's solid across the board and feels comfortable at all ranges in the way any great assault rifle should. AK-47ДЄmid maps that at launch are skewed toward up-close confrontations, the AK-47 might be the best assault rifle available for thoseВ hungry to thump the barrage of SMG users inВ mid- to long-range clashes. The AUG might have a slight edge over the M16, but it's reallyВ close. The M16 is strong in the same way the AUG is strong in Black Ops Cold War - it's a reliable one-burst killer even at some distance and doesn't have excessive recoil. If you can't beat the wave of MP5s, you may have to join it soon. It checks the boxes of a popular, borderline overpowered SMG: Unlocked early, lightweight and dominant in the types of one-on-one exchangesВ encouraged by the game's map layout. Here's the likely favorite multiplayer weapon out of the gate. One missed burst in a direct confrontation and it'll be difficult to recover to getВ a kill. Keep in mind, though, that only people who haveВ reliable aim will find the AUG to be an eliteВ weapon. When used properly, itВ puts opponents to sleep quicker than almost any other Black Ops Cold War weapon outside ofВ point-blank range scenarios. The AUG absolutely beams enemies right now with consistent one-burst efficiency.
