The Best Assault Rifles in Black Ops Cold War

1-4

I heard you like ARs?

Paul Hayes Paul Hayes
Call of Duty - July 5th 2021, 15:27 GMT+2
BOCW Krig 6

4. Krig 6: The Krig has a rather low fire rate, but it does a lot of damage and is very precise. Due to its low fire rate, it is often outmatched by faster weapons in close combat, but at long distances, nobody can deny its power. Recent barrel buffs and improvements to the Axial Arms 3x make this weapon's long-range potential even more noteworthy.

With the right attachments, the Krig can even rival tactical rifles and snipers. If you avoid short distances and play a bit more carefully, this is definitely the right weapon for you. | © Activision Blizzard

BOCW XM4

3. XM4: The XM4 is a great weapon for versatility. Much luck its spiritual predecessor the 2019 M4, the XM4 is capable of becoming anything from an SMG to DMR. It has a high rate of fire, good range, and hardly any recoil - so it's also one of the most forgiving weapons to use. It performs well at longer and shorter distances, so it's a good option to level first. | © Activision Blizzard

BOCW AK 47

2. AK-47: The good ol' AK-47 also works well in Black Ops Cold War. As expected, it does high damage, but also has a low fire rate and high recoil. However! If you can control the recoil, you can take out enemies easily with the AK-47 – so add some attachments like the Field Agent Grip and you have one of the strongest weapons in the game. | © Activision Blizzard

FARA 83

1. FARA 83: Even after some recent nerfs, the FARA remains the strongest assault rifle choice in that textbook 60m assault rifle range. It can be spec'd for longer or shorter optimization, but with a 3x on top the FARA is working at its best - a real powerhouse of the class, this weapon has a competitive TTK and a strong array of generalist stats. | © Activision Blizzard
