Since its release, Call of Duty: Cold War has seen some of the most engaging, thrilling, and drama-filled tournaments. With all of the action came some well-crafted weapon classes that are ideal for League Play players. Regardless of the increased limitations of competitive weapon classes, this list compiles some of the best loadouts seen during tournaments that have proven to rack up kills in even the tensest situations.
We chose to ignore the secondary weapon for this list because all players are forced to use the Diamatti as a meta. If you want to see a better Diamatti loadout, watch Simp's video on the burst-fire pistol.
