Fireteam is Black Ops Cold War’s newest mode. Here are some of the best weapons to run on Sanitorium, Ruka, or Pine.

Black Ops Cold War’s fireteam mode has an eerie feeling to Black Ops 4’s Blackout mode. A “mini-battle royale” without the actual battle royale. Fireteam currently features the dirty bomb mode, which is a super fast-paced experience for players.

Before you arm up and get into combat, here’s some of the best weapons you should be running in Fireteam, to ensure you’re always on top of the game.

#1 – M16

The M16 is a burst fire juggernaut. It takes down enemies in just 2-3 bursts when they are fully armored up. Here are the best attachments.

Optic – Hawksmoor: Precision sight makes for easy shots at medium range, where the M16 truly shines.
Barrel – 20.5″ Match Grade: 100% effective damage range boost for that extra punch at a distance
Underbarrel – Field Agent Foregrip: Additional recoil control for a fast reset between bursts.
Magazine – Salvo 54 Rnd Fast Mag: Get back into the action fast with quick reloads on a large magazine.
Handle – Airborne Elastic Wrap: The best of all worlds. High flinch resistance, fast aim down sight, and aim while going prone.

#2 – XM4

The XM4 is versatile and mobile. It’s easily one of the most enjoyable weapons to use in Cold War, its overall design fits perfectly into fireteam.

Optic – Microflex LED: Similar to the Hawksmoor, the Microflex offers precision sight at medium range.
Barrel – 13.7″ Extended: Additional damage range and bullet velocity, to really hit those targets further out.
Underbarrel – Field Agent Grip: Overall recoil control for longer distances.
Magazine – Salvo 50 Round Fast Mag: You’re going to need large magazines for Fireteam.
Handle– Airborne Elastic Wrap: Dropshot with additional flinch resistance. Keeps your weapon shooting straight while you’re being shot at.

Mobile and heavy-hitting, the AK74u makes for the ultimate companion while clearing out bomb sites and buildings.

#4 – MP5

Compact and reliable, the MP5 is an iconic sidekick to have while in combat. While not as good at range as the AK74u, the MP5 shines at close range.
