The Kiparis is a submachine gun in Call of Duty: Black Ops. It is unlocked after purchasing all other submachine guns.

Call of Duty: Black Ops

Single-player

The Kiparis can be seen only in the hands of the Spetsnaz and in the armory in the mission numbers. Attachments are often magazine extensions, akimbo and reflex sights.

Multiplayer

The Kiparis is the secret submachine gun and is therefore unlocked only after you have bought all the other SMG’s (so not before level 41). It has a magazine that holds 20 rounds and runs out relatively quickly. Although the recoil is manageable and always pulls slightly upwards to the right, shooting in bursts is necessary at medium to long range, otherwise you need a grip.

Thanks to the low ammo and quick emptying of magazines, it’s useful if you have looters, Nimbleness Pro also does well, as the Kiparis only goes into the sights as fast as an assault rifle (0.25 sec), not about 0.2 seconds like most other submachine guns. Extended magazines and a grip compensate for the Kiparis’ biggest problems, low magazines and recoil.

Whether or not to put a sight on the Kiparis depends entirely on one’s preferences, as the

gun’s standard sight isn’t particularly clear, but it does provide a good view. The two-handed Kiparis is also convincing, as it reloads the fastest among the submachine guns. Warlord is also good to use, as you can either equip the Kiparis with the grip and magazine extension, or add a silencer for good sneaking.

The Kiparis does as much damage through walls as an assault rifle, which is why it is considered the best choice among submachine guns for taking down enemies through obstacles. The Kiparis’ aiming assist is also on par with that of an AK-74u light machine gun, which once again sets it apart.

It is definitely not recommended to use rapid fire for the Kiparis, since the rate of fire increases extremely and with it, unfortunately, probably also the recoil, moreover, the small magazines are then even faster empty. Warlord can still help a bit here by adding a grip.

One thing where the Kiparis can still clearly shine is its reload speed among SMGs. At 1.3 seconds, it’s clearly the fastest, just ahead of the PM-63, plus it’s even the fastest of all the weapons from the game. This helps the player when not using nimbleness, plus it gives the player the freedom to carry a secondary weapon other than a pistol because you won’t get caught reloading as often.

• Back when they added the grip, it had no effect on the accuracy display in the class editor. That was improved with a patch.

Call of Duty

The Call of Duty series has existed since 2003 and in addition to various spin-offs, including for the handheld systems Nintendo DS and Sony PSP, 14 major titles of the series have now been released. Ever since the first part of the series, great emphasis has been placed on the online multiplayer mode in addition to the single-player campaign, which is also reflected in the development of the shooter series. Since the first Call of Duty, World at War, which was developed exclusively by Treyarch, each part also included cooperative challenges that you could play together with friends. The latest installment, Call of Duty: World War II, also features an extended multiplayer mode that puts you and your friends in the combat zones and famous battles of World War II. Using the divisions, you’ll be able to choose between the deadly sniper and the brute armored division and support your comrades in battle. In addition, World War II also has a zombie mode “Nazi Zombies”, as in its predecessor Call of Duty: Black Ops. Face the monsters of the Third Reich and win glory and honor.
