One basic survival trick in Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War is that it is always faster to swap weapons than it is to reload. This is especially true when swapping to a handgun secondary, but selecting a powerful handgun can often be a tricky process. There are several options available in the Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War armory, but few have the fast-kill potential of the Diamatti.
While Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War offers a wide variety of shotgun and launcher secondaries, none match the speed of the handgun. This is the main reason so many players choose handguns as their secondary option. What they lack in damage, they make up for in maneuverability, speed, and adaptability.
The Diamatti is an interesting handgun that features a three-round burst firing cycle. Although there is a short delay between bursts, the power of three rounds impacting can be detrimental in Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War multiplayer scenarios. It does hold an increased ammo capacity with a slower reload speed, which can be compensated for by the increase in magazine size easily.
Diamatti Loadout
- Muzzle - Agency Suppressor
- Barrel - 7.2" Reinforced Heavy
- Underbarrel - Field Agent Grip
- Magazine - 24 Round Magazine
- Handle - SASR Jungle Grip
This weapon benefits from having a suppressor in almost every situation. By not having a blip appear during a Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War multiplayer game, players can have an extra second to impact the enemy with a second volley of shots. The SASR Jungle Grip aids in the fast swap speed, while the Field Agent Grip makes it a low recoil weapon with a very fast ADS speed.
Players gain additional damage and range through the reinforced heavy barrel, and by adding a 24 round magazine, they can avoid reloading in dangerous situations. Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War players who enjoy both stealthy and full-frontal assault tactics will find that this weapon has something for almost everyone.
Adjustments can be made, as some players do prefer alternative grips, and if stealth is not a concern the muzzle can be swapped for a muzzle brake or any other damage-increasing attachment. Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War players have a wide arrangement of attachment options, so the goal would be to prioritize damage and ADS speeds on this versatile handgun.
Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War is available on PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.
