Black Ops 4 Multiplayer Tips & Tricks
Learns the Ins and Outs of Your Guns
It goes without saying that weapons are important in Black Ops 4. CoD has always tried to make each weapon unique, but Black Ops 4 really doubles down on that idea. Every weapon in the game has a set of unique attachments that plays to its strengths, so if you have a high-capacity SMG it’s going to get attachments like extended mags or quick reload.
Since we already suggested learning how to use specialists, it’s doubly important to learn which guns and weapons go best with specialists. For example, you might want to consider using shotguns or SMGs with Ruin, as he can easily zip right in front of an enemy with his grapple and blast them. On the other hand, you might want to use medium-range weapons for Torque as his razor wire and barricade abilities are good for blocking enemy lanes and slowing them down, letting you pepper them from a distance.
Adding to weapon customization is Operator Mods, a mod that adds a unique bonus. Most weapons in the game have their own unique Operator Mod, but it has to be at max level in order for you to equip it. Once it’s at max level you can head over to the Wildcard section of the weapon menu and add the Wildcard to your weapon of choice, although it will take up two attachment slots.
By the time you get a weapon to max level, it’ll most likely be your weapon of choice. Because of the ability to double down on guns with Operator Mods, it’s important to find the weapons you like and really lean into improving those.
