[Top 10] CoD Cold War Best Loadouts For Kills (Used By Pros)

Trust the pros... they know what they're doing.


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.

10. Louqa’s Krig 6 Loadout

Previously a player for Renegades, Louqa has been named Call of Duty Challengers 2021 Asia Pacific - Open #1 MVP.

He set new records in the Pro Aim Competition hosted by the Call of Duty League Youtube channel. Diamondcon has time and again entered the top 10 over multiple competitions.

  • Quicker kills due to higher ADS and lower sprint to fire time.

Playing for the LA Thieves, Envoy is a world champion this year along with his team members. He mainly plays with SMGs, and though he switches between the Ak74u and the MP5, he has played more with the MP5.
