With so many different weapons and attachments to unlock, choosing the right combination can be tricky. So, if you're looking for some of the best weapons to use in the Cold War Beta, we have you covered with seven recommended loadouts that will have you dominating your opponents.?

Before we get started, do keep in mind that the weapon progression in the Beta is very slow and we have taken this into consideration and have designed our loadouts towards the lower end attachments, making them much more achievable over the final beta weekend.?

Assault Rifles

XM4

Built for speed and accuracy, the XM4 is one of the most powerful Assault Rifles in the beta. While it may struggle a little at long range, the XM4's impressive firepower, speed, and accuracy make it something to be feared at medium and close-quarter encounters.

During our experience, we found the XM4 thrived mostly on the maps of Cartel, Moscow, Armada, and Miami.

With the Law Breaker Wildcard equip, we recommend pairing the XM4 with the Pelington 703 as you’ll be prepared for any situation.

Krig 6

Next up we have the Krig 6, which simply put, oozes versatility and is arguably one of our favorite weapons to use throughout the Beta. With impressive fire rate, damage, and accuracy, the Krig 6 excels at close, medium, and long-range combat.

Thriving on maps such as Armada, Crossroads, Cartel, Miami, and Satellite, we found the weapon to be balanced across all areas.??

Featuring little to no recoil thanks to the Muzzle and Underbarrel attachments, don't be surprised if you find yourself topping the scoreboards with our Krig 6 loadout.

While it is completely personal preference and dependent on your play style, we found the Krig 6 pairs well with either the Pelington 703 Sniper Rifle or the Gallo SA12 Shotgun as your secondary weapon. If you choose to run a second Primary weapon, you’ll need to select the Law Breaker Wildcard.?

AK-47

Submachine Guns

MP5

Thriving in close-quarters, the MP5 is one of the most popular weapon choices in the Beta. With impressive ADS speed and accuracy, our All-Rounder loadout will help enhance its already powerful capabilities.

Don’t be fooled though, as while the MP5 may seemingly lack firepower when compared with other weapons in the AR category, it can still pack quite the punch.?

During our experience, we found that the MP5 excelled on maps such as Satellite, Miami, and Cartel. It is also worth noting that the MP5 does have some noticeable Horizontal Recoil, but with the addition of the Foregrip, we have noticed a slight reduction.?

We’ve paired the MP5 with the Pelington 703, as it will have you prepared for any situation, no matter which map you choose.

Milano 821 - Pointman

If you're looking to use the Milano but have yet to level it up to stage that unlocks a decent amount of attachments, consider using the Pointman pre-made class setup.

Stacked with plenty of Perks, helpful Tactical and Lethal equipment, and a Diamatti Secondary weapon, you'll dominate the battlefield with this simple loadout.

Milano 821

Arguably one of the most powerful weapons in the Beta, the Milano 821 Submachine Gun absolutely dominates on the battlefield, as the well-balanced weapon features outstanding firepower, speed, and accuracy.?

This Uzi inspired weapon is perfect for close quarters and when coupled with the right attachments, you will have one of the fastest killing weapons on your hands.

The Milano 821 thrives in tight situations, making it the perfect weapon for the likes of Moscow, Armada, Satellite, and Cartel.?

Sniper Rifles

Pelington 703

The Pelington 703 is our favorite Sniper to use so far during the Beta Event. The fast-firing and highly accurate Sniper features moderate recoil, making it not only very reliable but also the perfect quick scoping weapon.?

With the ability to take out multiple enemies in quick concession with its one-shot capabilities anywhere above the waist, it’s hard not to be satisfied when using this Sniper Rifle.?

While it’s entirely up to you, we found that pairing the Pelington 703 with the Krig 6 or M16 was the perfect combination, as it provides you with a strong alternative weapon that thrives in both medium and short-range combat.?

We found the Pelington 703 to be highly effective on maps such as Satellite, Armada, Crossroads, and Miami.?

Shotguns

Gallo SA12

When it comes to shotguns, we were surprised to find that the Gallo SA12 ended up being one of our favorite weapons to use throughout the Beta, as there was nothing more satisfying than killing your opponents in a single pump.?

While the Gallo SA12 thrives in short-range encounters, you would be surprised at just how far its range can actually reach, as enemies can easily be taken out much further than you would initially expect.?

Unfortunately, the weapon’s biggest downfall is its lengthy reload speeds and while it’s definitely manageable, we could see this being an issue that some just can’t overlook.

With the correct Field Mic placements, the Gallo SA12 will dominate on the maps of Satellite and Moscow.?

With limited range, pairing the Gallo SA12 with the Krig 6 really helps create that range distance that the loadout desperately needs.

Tactical Rifle

M16

Lastly, if burst style rifles are your thing, the M16 may just be the weapon for you. Ideal for medium to long-range encounters when paired with the right scope, the M16 Tactical Rifle is highly accurate and can deal large amounts of damage.

While burst style rifles aren’t exactly everyone's thing, the M16’s initial stats might just be enough to change your ways. With added attachments to reduce your recoil and increase your fire rate, we found the M16 to be a real force to be reckoned with when put into the right hands.?

We found that the M16 thrived on maps such as Miami, Crossroads, Armada, and Cartel.?

Following suit with our other loadouts, we found success in using a Stimshot, Frag, and Field Mic, while also running the Tactical Mask, Scavenger, and Ghost perks.?
