In our regular setup guides, we introduce you to the best attachments for each weapon in Black Ops Cold War. This time we finally start with the LMGs and the first of these is also the strongest: the Stoner 63.

Looking for the best weapons in Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War? You have already found your favorite weapon, but you want to know which attachments you can use to get the best 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.

After we already covered some assault rifles, MPs, tactical rifles and snipers, today we turn to LMGs. The Stoner 63 is the first LMG you unlock in Black Ops Cold War (at level 4). However, that doesn’t mean it’s bad by any means, quite the opposite.

The Stoner is the best LMG in the game and is one of the best weapons around. It has a higher rate of fire with significantly less recoil than the other LMGs, but also higher damage than an assault rifle. Overall, it sits between the assault rifles and the LMGs, combining the best of both classes. Sound familiar? Remember the Bruen Mk9 from Modern Warfare/Warzone? This LMG dominated the game for a long time, as it also combined all the advantages of both weapon classes.

Stoner 63 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.

With the following attachments, we further expand the advantages of the weapon: Even more damage, precision and, as befits an LMG, quite a lot of ammunition:

• Muzzle: Muzzle brake 5.56
• Barrel: 21.8″ special command
• Underbarrel: Field Agent grip
• Magazine: Fast volley 125-round magazine
• Handle: Air-elastic wrap

Let’s start with the accuracy: The muzzle brake reduces vertical recoil by 8%, the field agent grip reduces vertical by another 8% and horizontal by 30%. With the Special Command Barrel, we increase damage by 10% and both range and projectile acceleration by a full 100%. Since we lose some magazine capacity with the barrel, we take the huge Rapid Volley 125-round magazine with us. It not only increases our ammo by 67%, but also our reload speed by 25%. With the ammo loss through the barrel, we still get an impressive 116 rounds per magazine. Rounding out the setup is the air-elastic wrap, which increases the ZV velocity by 30% and our flinch resistance by 90%.

With this setup, you’ll deal incredibly high damage and hit your opponents safely from almost any distance. Due to the large magazine, reloading should also only be necessary very rarely. But don’t forget, it’s still an LMG! In close combat you are at a disadvantage due to your lower mobility. If you are looking for something different in Warzone, you should definitely give the Stoner 63 a chance.

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.
