A PRO Call of Duty player has shared the ultimate loadout for anyone looking to dominate the game’s multiplayer mode.
In a YouTube video posted Tuesday, US gamer Chris “Simp” Lehr revealed that his top Black Ops Cold War setup utilises the powerful LC10.
The submachine gun, which was added to the game last month, has almost “no recoil” when paired with the right attachments, he said.
“The reason why I think this gun is pretty good is its fire rate,” Simp told his 20,000 YouTube subscribers.
It also has “an ability just to shred at distance”, he added. “The recoil isn’t too hard to control and it definitely packs a powerful punch.”
Simp is a member of Altanta FaZe, arguably the best Call of Duty League (CDL) team today having just won the first CDL eSports tournament of 2021.
The 20-year-old does not use the LC10 for professional matches but said it’s his go-to class in public games.
And while the LC10 is pretty powerful of its own right, Simp said that adding the following attachments makes it borderline unstoppable.
Simp, who has more than 100,000 followers on Twitter, explained what it is about the class that makes it so deadly.
The 14.5 Ranger, for instance, lowers the time it takes to kill your opponents by boosting bullet velocity.
“Bullet velocity is one of the more important things to have higher on a gun,” Simp said.
“If you’re trying to kill people faster… that’s always my go-to.”
He opts for the Raider Stock to improve his movement speed.
The attachment comes at the cost of some horizontal recoil, though the “pros heavily outweigh the cons,” Simp said.
Call of Duty Black Ops Cold War is the latest game in the hugely popular war sim series.
It hit shelves in November and plays out at the height of nuclear tensions between the US and Soviet Russia.
The storyline follows the real-world events of the Cold War – such as the Vietnam War – but will dramatise some elements.
An early teaser trailer revealed has that the game will include a hunt for Perseus – a spy working against the US for Russia.
The Cold War was a period of major tension between the USA and Soviet Union, but wasn’t an outright war in the conventional sense.
Instead, both nations supported “proxy wars” – regional conflicts used to gain global influence.
And the fact that both nations controlled nuclear weaponry meant that neither side was willing to risk a war proper.
The period is generally said to have run from 1947 through to 1991 – when the Soviet Union was dissolved.
Cold War dropped November 19, 2020, and starts at £59.99 for a standard copy rising all the way to £89.99 for the Ultimate Edition.
He added: “The gun is just too good to not be using right now.”
The LC10 is one of six new weapons added to Black Ops Cold War with last month’s launch of Season Two.
The free update also introduced four new Operators.
They include former Laotian warlord Kapano ‘Naga’ Vang, Zombies star Samantha Maxis, skilled hunter and Delta Force sniper Terrell Wolf, and Nicaraguan guerrilla warfare master expert Karla Rivas.
There’s also a new Zombies experience called Outbreak.
Season Two landed February 25 on PC, Xbox Series X/S, PlayStation 5, Xbox One and PlayStation 4.
In other news, The Sun’s favourite alternative to a games console is the Oculus Quest 2 VR headset.
Grab a VR headset and you’ll be able to play the legendary Beat Saber – like Guitar Hero, but with lightsabers.
And Dell’s Alienware R10 Ryzen Edition is a gaming PC powerhouse that crushes both the new consoles.
