The best competitive loadouts for Black Ops Cold War

Black Ops Cold War has already seen a handful of competitive events since its release.

Call of Duty focuses heavily on competitive gameplay every year. Black Ops Cold War will be no different. The Call of Duty League (CODL) is switching back to a 4v4 variation, and several organizations have hosted tournaments to show off the game in its infancy.

Typically, competitive loadouts focus on Search and Destroy, though Domination and Hardpoint are two more game modes in the mix. Also, there are more competitive Call of Duty scenes than just the CDL, and the best competitive loadouts for Black Ops Cold War will have players dominating.
