Each of these cold War attachments gives you a benefit, but most also have a downside. These are those in the game at the moment.

• Sound Suppressor – This makes you have no minimap signature when you fire, but it takes off some of your effective damage range.

These are your attachment options for the game at the moment. They aren’t quite as expansive as the Warzone system, which allowed you to make some weird things. Although are still a lot of options. It is also worth noting that not all attachments are available for every weapon. Each weapon has a slightly different selection. A lot of attachments are similar in use but with a different name to fit the weapon they’re working with. Between all of these though, there are loads of combinations to make a great loadout.
