Call of Duty: Modern Warfare weapons are the standard for Call of Duty: Warzone. Modern Warfare was the first game connected to Warzone, meaning its weapons have been around longer and therefore have set something of an expected precedent among Warzone players. Of course, this precedent includes Modern Warfare scopes, which usually glint when they’re 4x zoom or higher. This glint allows those being shot at to see where the fire is coming from and react accordingly.
With that in mind, it’s come as a bit of a surprise to the Call of Duty community to find out that Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War scopes don’t follow this same rule. As discovered by Call of Duty YouTuber JGOD, some Black Ops Cold War optics don’t glint at all when in use, even if their natural zoom exceeds the usual Modern Warfare limit. In other words, some powerful snipers can have just as powerful scopes without any of the weaknesses that usually come with them.
JGOD tested every optic that came with Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War and found which glint and which don’t, and weirdly enough, his results don’t follow any noticeable pattern like Modern Warfare scopes. As expected, lower magnification optics, such as 2x, 3x, and 4x zoom, don’t glint. However, the SUSAT Multizoom 2x-4x does. The higher zoom scopes like 6x and up usually appear on sniper rifles and always glint, but Black Ops Cold War optics don’t.
At first glance, these scopes just make it look like Black Ops Cold War weapons inherently function differently from Modern Warfare weapons in Call of Duty: Warzone. But then JGOD gets around to the 2x-10x and the 2x-20x optic for Tactical Rifles, and it becomes clear the scopes are just bugged. Neither of these scopes gives away the shooter’s location through glint, meaning users can snipe from across the map with no problems. It makes weapons like the already powerful DMR 14 even stronger for no reason.
Just as JGOD predicts in his video, the use of Black Ops Cold War scopes will likely become the new meta until a fix arrives. They offer far too great of an advantage for players to simply pass them up. When exactly this update will arrive remains a mystery, but if not before the mid-Season 1 update for Warzone, then during. Hopefully, it’ll be the latter, though, as a mid-season update is still a long way off.
Call of Duty: Warzone is on PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X.
