Like the weapon attachments in Modern Warfare (2019), Black Ops Cold War offers various attachments for each weapon in the game. Although the attachments have similar traits, some unlock at different levels due to several weapons having a different level cap. Attachments help you to customize your weapons according to your playstyle. Having all the attachments unlocked is crucial if you want to succeed in Black Ops Cold War. Once you understand your playstyle and how to create your own loadout, you will be able to create any setup, regardless of what gun you are using. If you are looking for a fast method to level up your weapons, then you’re in luck. Since the Warzone and Black Ops Cold War integration, you can now use the Cold War weapons in Warzone. You can check out our guide on how to upgrade your weapons in Warzone. This method not only helps you level up your weapons, but also your Battle Pass and overall player rank. This is super beneficial as now you have prestiges to grind for too. Below, we have covered the description of all the attachments found in the Black Ops Cold War, and the attachment unlock level requirement for each weapon.
Attachment Descriptions
There are eight attachment types: Optic, Muzzle, Barrel, Body, Underbarrel, Magazine, Handle, and Stock. By default, you can choose only up to five attachments, but if you select the ‘Gunfighter’ perk, you will be able to choose from all eight attachment types. By way of example, you can check out our XM4 loadout guide, where we’ve used the ‘Gunfighter’ perk to take full advantage of all the attachment types.
