With so many different weapons and attachments to be found within the Gunsmith, choosing the right combination can be tricky. So, if you’re looking for the perfect weapon, we have listed 7 of the best loadouts that you can use in the Black Ops Cold War Beta.
Before we get started, do keep in mind that the weapon progression in the Beta is very slow, with many high level players even struggling to level their weapons beyond the half way point. For this reason, we have taken the slow leveling system into consideration and have designed all of our layouts towards the more lower end attachments, making these loadouts much more achievable to obtain over the short event.
Assault Rifles
XM4
Built for speed and accuracy, the XM4 is one of the most versatile AR’s in the game.
While it may struggle a little with long-range attacks, the XM4’s impressive fire rate makes it something to be feared at medium and close quarter encounters.
Built for a combination of speed and accuracy, our All-Rounder XM4 Loadout will leave you impressed.

The secondary weapon is entirely up to you. While the 1911 pistol is a great secondary weapon that can easily save you during tricky situations, a Launcher can be used to destroy overhead Spy Planes and Attack Helicopters, earning you some extra points towards your scorestreaks. | ||||

Krig 6
Say what you will, but the Krig 6 oozes versatility and is arguably one of our favorite weapons to main throughout the Beta. With impressive fire rate and damage, the Krig 6 excels at close, medium, and long-range combat situations.
Featuring little to no recoil thanks to our Muzzle and Underbarrel, don’t be surprised to see yourself topping the scoreboards with our All-Rounder Krig 6 loadout.

MP5
Thriving in close-quarter situations, the MP5 is among one of the strongest weapons in the game. With an already impressive ADS speed and damage rate, our All-Rounder loadout will help enhance its already powerful capabilities.
It is worth noting that the MP5 does have some noticeable Horizontal Recoil. Thankfully, the addition of the Foregrip has helped to slightly reduce it.
Paired with the Pelington 703, this loadout will leave you prepared for any situation, no matter which map that you choose.
This loadout will thrive on the likes of the Satellite and Miami maps.
