In our regular setup guides, we introduce you to the best attachments for each weapon in Black Ops Cold War. Today we’re taking a look at the iconic Rambo gun: the M60.
Looking for the best weapons in Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War? You’ve already found a favorite weapon, but want to know which attachments you can use to get the most out of it? Then you’ve come to the right place! We show you the best weapons in Black Ops Cold War in galleries and in more detail in our setup guides.
Slowly but surely, we are coming to the end of our primary weapon setup guides. After the Stoner 63 and the RPD, today we present the last LMG in Black Ops Cold War for the time being. Who doesn’t know the iconic machine gun from the Rambo movies – the M60.
The M60 is unlocked at level 46 and has an incredible man-stopping power and also blasts through the odd wall without any problems. This power is balanced out by a low rate of fire and very slow handling. Not only do you move slower, especially aiming and reloading takes what feels like eternities. Fortunately, with the large magazine, you rarely have to reload, but proper positioning still plays a big role with the M60. To use the full potential of the weapon, you should limit yourself to medium to long range fights and always look for a position with long sight lines.
M60 Setup
In order to make our setup accessible to all players, regardless of the wildcard they choose, we will again limit ourselves to the most important five attachments for the weapon. Those who use gunslingers can occupy the remaining three slots according to personal preference.
Our setup improves pretty much all of the gun’s stats, with minimal ammo sacrifice:
- Muzzle: SOCOM Eliminator
- Barrel: 22.8″ Special Command
- Underbarrel: Field Agent grip
- Handle: air-elastic wrap
- Stock: Scavenger stock
The Special Command Barrel increases damage by 10% and effective range and projectile acceleration by a full 100%. It also reduces our ammunition by five rounds per magazine, but that’s quite acceptable. The SOCOM Eliminator reduces vertical recoil by 17% and gives us 85% muzzle flash shielding. The Field Agent grip further helps with recoil control, reducing vertical recoil by 8% and horizontal by 30%. The Air Elastic Wrap increases our aiming speed by 30% and gives us 90% twitch resistance, and finally the Raider Stock increases our change from sprinting to shooting by 30% and our running speed when aiming by 40%.
With this setup, the M60 has even more oomph than it already does and takes out everything with just a few hits, especially at the longer ranges. Your enemies are hiding behind a wooden wall or something similar? No problem, the M60 goes through like a hot knife through butter. Although we have improved the mobility thanks to the grip and the stock, you should always be aware that the M60 is an LMG and is not suitable for close combat.
CALL OF DUTY – Guide – Tips and Tricks for Beginners
Get the upper hand with these tips and tricks for Call of Duty: Warzone. Call of Duty: Warzone is the new star in the Battle Royal sky. The Free2Play game, which was only launched at the beginning of March, set an incredible player record within a very short time. If you want to join the fray yourself, you can find useful tips and tricks for getting started in our beginner’s guide.
The Battle Royale mode in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare was a long time coming. Since March 10, CoD: Warzone has finally been available, and even as a free2play variant. So it’s no wonder that the multiplayer hit pulverized the player records of Apex Legends within a very short time. This is also due to the fact that Warzone does a few things differently compared to the well-known competition. If you’re planning to throw yourself into the fray and are still looking for a tip or two, you’ll definitely find what you’re looking for in this CoD: Warzone beginner’s guide.
Tip 1: What to consider before landing
Even during the approach sequence, you can see where the first circle is placed by opening the map, while the preferred landing position can be selected by pressing a button. These valuable seconds can be used to agree on a target together with your teammates.
Tip 2: The correct use of the parachute
As in any battle royale shooter, in CoD: Warzone it is important to land as quickly as possible after the jump and to be the first to grab the best weapons or items. This is achieved by opening the parachute after the jump and cutting it directly, which significantly increases the flight speed.
You can reopen and cut the parachute as many times as you like. This is especially useful for flying to destinations far from the flight path. Bonus tip: With the parachute cut, the character pulls out the pistol, which allows firing at enemies.
Tip 3: Life energy and armor
By default, each character in Warzone starts with two armor plates, the maximum being three bars. New plates can be found on the map, and having the most impeccable armor possible significantly increases your chances of victory. All three armor slots should always be filled, if possible (indicated by the blue HUD indicator at the bottom left).
If you take damage in battle, the self-healing known from the main game takes effect – there are no medikits in Warzone. If you are hit, you should simply take cover for a few seconds to regenerate your life energy.
Tip 4: Orders are worthwhile (some at least)
There are three different types of missions on the Verdansk map, marked with yellow tablet icons. Completing the missions rewards your team with additional money and bonus weapons that provide a decisive advantage in the fight for survival.
- Bounty mission (crosshair icon): Kill a given target
- Recon mission (flag icon): Secure and hold a specific area.
- Loot mission (binocular icon): Loot three loot boxes one after the other.
The looting missions bring the biggest advantage, since the three targets are in the immediate vicinity and reward your own team with a good chunk of money as well as powerful guns.
Tip 5: Listen carefully
Connoisseurs of the Call of Duty series know anyway how important a good headset is when playing. Of course, this also applies to Warzone mode. Footsteps of enemies in the vicinity, gunfire in the distance, loot boxes in the immediate vicinity – all of this can be picked out and those who can locate and interpret these acoustic signals have an enormous advantage.
Blue loot boxes, for example, which entice you with additional money and powerful weapons, can be located by a buzzing soundthat gets louder the closer you get to the object of your desire.
But the reconnaissance missions are not to be sneezed at either: If the team succeeds in completing them, the area of the next circle is marked on the tactics map. Thus, you learn in advance which areas will provide protection from the deadly gas.
Tip 6: What it’s worth spending money on
In the course of a round, you inevitably accumulate a considerable amount of money. But what should you spend it on anyway? Money is used in the Battle Royale shooter to request killstreaks or equipment drops at the store stations marked in green, or to bring back teammates who have died.
With a bit of luck, Killstreaks can also be found in loot boxes. Picking them up and using them is absolutely always recommended, as the advantage is enormous.
The in-game money can be invested in the following advantages at the buy stations, for example:
- Additional armor plates ($ 1500)
- Shield gun ($ 2000)
- Cluster Strike ($ 3000)
- Gas Mask ($ 3000)
- Precision Air Strike ($ 3500)
- UAV Drone ($ 4000)
- Self-Resuscitation ($ 4500)
- Squad resuscitation ($ 4500)
- Ammo Box ($ 5000)
- Equipment drop ($ 6000)
The UAV drone is the most rewarding, as it briefly reveals enemy positions in the area, as well as the equipment drop – the only way to use self-made loadouts and thus fully equipped weapons in Warzone.
Tip 7: What to look for in the Gulag
Warzone features a respawn system unique to the genre in the form of the Gulag. Players who have died in Verdansk are shipped to the prison, where they fight in a 1-vs-1 against another player to get back in. Those who lose can only be resurrected by their teammates from then on.
Other players who enter the gulag initially start as spectators on the upper tiers. Teammates can give instructions about the opponent’s position here, for example, but all players have the opportunity to influence the fight that is currently taking place – by throwing stones.
Just like a stun grenade, the stone doe’s one point of damage and is more suited to distracting the players below. However, with some skill, it can also be used to make kills, for example by triggering C4.
Since the lighting in the Gulag is not very good, enemies are correspondingly difficult to spot in the semi-dark. However, there is a simple trick to change that. CoD: Warzone allows you to spray spray logos on walls and other environments – as well as enemies – at the touch of a button. This can be turned into an advantage by making your opponent shine brightly with some yellow paint.
