Among the many snipers in Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War is the M82, which has a lethal reputation. As the last sniper to unlock through game progression, players gain access to its high-caliber rounds and high bullet velocity. This is a heavy rifle meant to take down any enemy with a single shot, and with the right loadout, it can become even stronger.

Originally named the Barret .50 cal, the M82 sniper rifle is a high damage semi-automatic rifle. It comes with a 5 round magazine and can be reloaded in 3 seconds by default. As a Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War sniper, the in-game engine makes it perfect for quick-scoping and eliminating multiple threats with its consecutive shots.

Barrel - 22. 6" Tiger Team Underbarrel - Infiltrator Grip Magazine - 7 Rounds Magazine Handle - Airborne Elastic Wrap Stick - Raider Pad

The goal when equipping attachments in Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War is to maximize the gun’s strengths. In the case of the M82, players need to work with the high damage and bullet velocity, which can easily be improved by increasing the gun’s fire rate.

The Infiltrator Grip and Raider Pad are designed to aid in movement across the map. Players will find that they can move and aim quicker, allowing them to respond to enemy advancements and alternating objective points. With movement improved, the 22.6" Tiger Team barrel increases the fire rate of this rifle and buffs the Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War sniper damage.

By using the Airborne Elastic Wrap, players increase the sniper rifle ADS time and add additional flinch resistance to the Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War player. Meanwhile, the 7 Round Magazine will increase the magazine size, starting ammo, and ammo capacity allowing more shots before reloading. This helps compensate for the reload time by making it a less frequent interaction.

Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War snipers have a reputation for being overpowered. Players are advised to use this loadout to compensate for recent nerfs and bring back the strength of the sniper class.

Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War is available on PC, Ps4, Ps5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.
