Is Black Ops Cold War Worth Playing? Best Guns for New Players in 2026

In this video, we'll be taking a look at the best starter guns in Call of Duty Black Ops Cold War - specifically, the first three assault rifles (XM4, AK-47, Krig 6) and SMGs (MP5, Milano 821, AK-74u), along with the first LMG (Stoner 63). You will also be able to see the ideal class setup so you can equip the ideal beginner equipment, perks, wildcards, scorestreaks, and secondary. Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War is available on Xbox Game Pass. If you're new to the game, or coming back to it after a long break, this video will serve as the perfect guide--a "Cold War Starter Pack" if you will--to help you survive those first few lobbies. The MP5, XM4, and Stoner 63 are all available at the beginning. Level up to 13 and you'll have access to the AK-47 and Milano, or Uzi. At level 16, the Krig 6 and AK-74u (two more INSANE weapons in COD Cold War) are yours. The 1911 pistol feels like shooting marshmallows, but we've got the perfect way to fix it. Stay tuned.
