We’re slowly working our way through all the weapon classes in Black Ops Cold War to bring you the best setups for each weapon. Today, it’s all about the fastest sniper in the game: the Pelington 703.

If you’re looking for the best weapons in Black Ops Cold War, EarlyGame is the place to be. We’ll test all the weapons for you and provide you with the best setups for each of them. You can see the most used weapons in BOCW in this short gallery:

After we already covered some assault rifles, submachine guns and tactical rifles, it’s finally time to talk about the kings of the very long distances – the sniper rifles.

Not in the mood for BOCW? Don’t worry, we also have warzone loadouts:

Today we’re taking on the first sniper in the game, which unlocks as early as level 4. The Pelington 703 doesn’t look particularly spectacular and its damage doesn’t seem overwhelming at first – if you don’t hit accurately, you’ll often only see a hit marker instead of a kill. The special thing about the weapon is its speed, which makes it the perfect quick-scope sniper. The disadvantages can of course be improved with the right attachments.

If you’ve played a few matches in BOCW, you’ve probably been taken out by a quick scoper a time or two. Wondering what weapon and setup you need to do the same? Here you will find it!

BOCW Pelington 703 Setup
As usual, we’re only showing you the best five attachments here, so players without the gunslinger wildcard can also benefit from our setup. With these attachments, the Pelington outshines most other sniper rifles:

Quick aiming and reloading in an emergency, as well as compensating for the lower damage, are our goals in this setup:

• Muzzle: Stabilizer .308
• Barrel: 26.5″ Tigerteam
• Magazine: 7-shot
• Handle: Air-elastic wrap
• Stock: Plunderer pad

Let’s start with the heart of the setup. The 26.5″ Tigerteam barrel boosts almost all the stats we need. 14% faster reload, 13% higher rate of fire, 50% more projectile velocity, and a full 20% more damage. The muzzle makes the gun wobble less when aiming, which makes aiming easier, and the larger magazine, lets us take out more enemies in one shot, or quickly add a shot if the first one missed. The grip increases our speed when aiming and our twitch resistance, so we can still aim without problems even under fire. To top it off, the stock increases our sprint-to-shoot speed, allowing us to take aim very quickly from a full run.

If you like to sit and camp at the other end of the map, you should go for a different setup, but if you like to be in the middle of the action at all times even as a sniper, you have the perfect setup here. Keep moving and quick-scoped for all it’s worth. Hits to the head or torso should usually be one-shots. If you only see one hit marker, don’t worry, you can follow up with the next hit extremely quickly.

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.
