Though weapon choice is very important in games likeCall of Duty, victory is ultimately determined by skill and reaction time.Professional players like NICKMERCSoften swear by weapons that have great accuracy, range, and stability, as these are less likely to impede on their own talents as marksmen.
The new weapons in question are the Spirit of the Beast assault rifle and the Soul of the Beast submachine gun. These legendary blueprints thrive in medium to long range encounters, and Activision recommends taking them for a spin in areas with long sightlines such asWarzone, Ground War, or various multiplayer maps. It seems as though it will only be a matter of time beforeprofessionalCall of Dutyplayers share buildswith these impressive weapons that will help players dominate on the battlefield with greater ease. It will be interesting to see what type of customs people can come up with.
Of course, this wasn’t the only standout in the briefing, as Activision also introduced the Party Mode, which features One in the Chamber, Gun Game, and more. 2v2 Gunfight tournaments continue, and new items are available in the store. There has also been yet another playlist update which showcases the fan favorite Shoot House as well as thebrand new Cheshire Park mapwhich was added with the Season 4 Reloaded update.Warzone,Call of Duty: Mobile, andCall of Duty Leaguealso received mentions and updates, so interested fans should see the full briefing.
Spirit of the Beast and Soul of the Beast are likely to shake up the meta a bit, and following recentnerfs to Assault Riflesand other weapons there is a lot of uncertainty in regards to what the best options are. Players should take the time to research what weapons will best fit their playstyle.
