Call of Duty Black Ops Cold War Season 6 has gone live for more than two weeks, and the multiplayer lobbies have once again been populated in the game. Players have been using all sorts of weapon types, including SMGs, ARs, shotguns, and sniper rifles. However, quick scoping is still a thing in the game, and most players have not grown tired of it.

Best LW3 Tundra Class

LW3 Tundra on stock is already a perfect one-shot material sniper rifle. However, you can take the overall stability, handling, ADS, and damage up a notch by equipping the best attachments in it.

Moreover, the primary weapon alone is not the sole deciding factor for an efficient field loadout; you must equip the secondary weapon, wildcard, perks, and equipment accordingly to the playstyle as well. That is why I have curated a complete LW3 season 6 quickscope loadout for you.

Weapon attachments

For attachments, I recommend the following options:

  • Barrel: 2’’ Tiger Team
  • Body: Tiger Team Spotlight
  • Magazine: 7 Rnd
  • Handle: SASR Jungle Grip
  • Stock: Marathon Pad

Secondary Weapon and Attachments

I recommend you go with the Shotgun Bravo Neutralizer. It is lethal, effective at dead-close range, and will get you out of tight spots.

  • Muzzle: Duckbill Choke
  • Barrel: 21.4’’ Reinforced Heavy
  • Body: Steady laser Aim
  • Magazine: STANAG 12 Rnd Tube
  • Stock: Wire Stock

Since I am going with five primary weapon attachments, the player loadout will need more passive bonuses to be efficient in the field.

This is why I recommend picking up the Perk Greed Wildcard.

Perks

  • Perk Tab 1: Flak Jacket and Tactical Mask
  • Perk Tab 2: Scavenger and Assassin
  • Perk Tab 3: Ninja and Ghost

Equipment

With Tundra, following equipment work best for me:

  • Tactical: Stimshot
  • Lethal: Tomahawk
  • Field Upgrade: Field Mic
  • Lethal Base Damage
  • High Bullet Velocity
  • Decent Range and Mobility
  • High Recoil
  • Less Mobility

Best Pelington Class 

Similar to the LW3 Tundra loadout, I have made the best Pelington season 6 quickscope loadout. It accounts for the attachments that can make this sniper rifle more damage-dealing and consistent instead of painting hit markers on targets.

Weapon Attachments

Here are my recommended attachments for Pelington:

  • Barrel: 5’’ Tiger Team
  • Body: Tiger Team Spotlight
  • Magazine: 7 Rnd
  • Handle: Serpent Wrap
  • Stock: Marathon Pad

Secondary Weapon and Attachments

Sunburst is the recommended weapon of choice while using the Pelington sniper rifle to quick scope targets. It is because even if you managed to land a hit marker, you could eliminate the target by quickly equipping the secondary and shooting the enemy down in a bullet or two.

  • Muzzle: Sound Suppressor
  • Barrel: 7.2” Reinforced Heavy
  • Body: SWAT 5MW Laser Sight
  • Magazine: Salve 30 RND Fast Mag
  • Stock: Dual Wield

Again, I am rocking five sniper rifle attachments, the loadout needs more passive bonuses to fight opponents in the field efficiently. That is why going with the Perk Greed Wildcard is a much better option than picking up other wildcards that offer less passive bonuses, as it allows you to equip six perks in a loadout.

Perks

For perks, you have the following options:

  • Perk Tab 1: Flak Jacket and Tactical Mask
  • Perk Tab 2: Scavenger and Gearhead
  • Perk Tab 3: Ninja and Ghost

Equipment

For equipment slot, I sugges the following choices:

  • Tactical: Stimshot
  • Lethal: Tomahawk
  • Field Upgrade: Field Mic
  • Good Base damage
  • High Accuracy
  • Lethal penetrating shots
  • Requires more skill to master
  • Poor Iron Sight

My Verdict

Regardless of which sniper rifle you choose to main as your go-to sniper rifle in Call of Duty Black Ops Cold War, both come with a set of certain pros and cons. Pelington has high speed, but LW3 Tundra is more consistent in landing killing shots. Most of the Pelington’s shots can turn out to be hit markers; however, that is hardly a case with LW3 Tundra.

To land a deathblow shot, players need to be more accurate and shoot a target at the chest, shoulder, or head while using the Pelington. However, if you are using LW3 Tundra, even a belly shot can get your opponent eliminated provided you have equipped the right attachments and increased the weapon’s base damage.

Regardless of what I think, if you are good with either weapon, you must stick to it. However, if you are a new or returning player to season 6 of Call of Duty Black Ops Cold War, you must know the loadout that is perfect for quick scoping. 

That is pretty much everything you need to know about the best quickscope class cold war season 6 loadouts. Since the launch of season 6 in Call of Duty Black Ops Cold War, which has been your favorite go-to weapon? Let me know more of your thoughts in the comments section below.
