BOCW Setup Guides: MAC 10 – The new top MP?

In our regular setup guides, we will introduce you to the best attachments for each in Black Ops Cold War. With – Season 1, two new weapons were added to the arsenal and the new MP might be the best in the game: the MAC 10.

Black Ops Cold War received quite a bit of criticism shortly after its release, especially for its lack of content. After all, there were just eight multiplayer maps at launch. With the start of – Season 1 on December 16, Black Ops Cold War was not only added to Warzone, but also received a huge content update. In addition to eight more new maps, two new weapons have also been added that will be unlocked through the Battle Pass: The Groza and the MAC 10.

Today we’re looking at the new submachine gun in Black Ops Cold War, the MAC 10. It unlocks at level 15 of the – Season 1 Battle Pass and has the highest rate of fire in its class. The damage per bullet is correspondingly lower and the recoil is also quite heavy, but this doesn’t matter too much at short distances. The MAC 10 clears everything out of the way in close combat thanks to its extreme rate of fire, but it also has to be played at these short distances. The lower damage and especially the wild recoil make it almost useless at long distances. Especially on smaller maps and for players who like to be in the middle of the action, the MAC 10 is the new meta-weapon and outperforms even the popular MP5.

To really enjoy the sound of your perfect MAC 10, we recommend the Logitech G533 Wireless Headset. It’s just as cool as the MAC 10 itself!

MAC 10 Setup
In order to make our setup accessible to all players, regardless of their chosen wildcard, 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.

With these attachments, we reduce recoil and keep the gun’s velocity up – remember, with the MAC 10, we must always be in close combat and on the move:

  • Muzzle: Infantry compensator
  • Barrel: 6.1″ heavy reinforced
  • Body: steady hand laser
  • Underbarrel: Grinding shell grip
  • Magazine: 43-round drum

Since the MAC 10’s recoil is primarily vertical, we reduce it by 12% with the Infantry Compensator. The barrel increases range by 18% and projectile acceleration by 80%. To always be in the middle of the action and close to the enemy, we increase our overall movement speed – when aiming, sprinting, and firing – by 3% with the Grinding Shell Grip. Since it always gets a bit more hectic in close combat, we add a laser to the Mac 10 to increase our accuracy from the hip by 15% and take a 43-round drum magazine with us, since the magazines are empty faster than you can look due to the high rate of fire.

With this setup you have a submachine gun that kills extremely fast at short range, but only at short range. With the MAC 10 you should always stick to small rooms and winding parts of the maps and avoid open areas, if you do that you will have one of the strongest weapons in close combat.

– Guide – 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 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.
