The 10 Best Weapons in Black Ops Cold War with Fastest TTK

All shooters, including Call of Duty Black Ops Cold War, share the same fundamental idea to succeed.
Shoot your opponent first and better in order to put them down before they put you down. This boils down to choosing the weapons with the fastest time to kill to prevent them from being able to engage in a firefight with you at all.
There are definitely better weapons to use but most of them have their own situations in which they excel.
These can be modified with attachments to increase their effectiveness and firing style. In addition to these attachments, you can further modify your playstyle with perks to give yourself an edge over the competition.
All of these things combined give you a pretty good chance to come out on top, but if you need a little bit of a head start then you will want to use the best weapons.
All values were taken from this spreadsheet created by TheXclusiveAce! If you haven’t already check out his YouTube channel!
10. MP5

The MP5 has always occupied a top place in Call of Duty’s best guns and it should be no surprise that it has found its place on this list too.
With a damage output between 32 to 23 and a rate of fire of 857 the MP5 has time to kill between 280 and 420 milliseconds. Combine that with the right attachments you will be nigh unstoppable. The 9.5” Ranger barrel will increase bullet velocity for more accurate shots.
The Field Agent Grip increases both vertical and horizontal recoil control. The STANAG 50 Rnd Drum will upgrade the number of bullets and reload speed. Equipping the Airborne Elastic Wrap will increase your aim down sight time and flinch resistance.
Finally, the Raider Stock will increase your sprint to fire time and aim down walking speed.
9. RPD

It should further be no surprise that an LMG appears on this list and the RPD is pretty sweet.
The RPD deals between 38 and 34 damage so with a rate of fire 652 the RPD can put down an enemy between 276 to 368 milliseconds. You can further increase this weapon’s deadliness by equipping it with the right attachments. For improved sights, you will want to equip the Millstop Reflex optic.
Follow up with the Spetsnaz Compensator which will increase vertical recoil control.
You will also want the 20.3” Task Force barrel for even better recoil control and bullet velocity. The Tiger Team Spotlight body will increase your reveal distance to allow you to get the first shot off on unsuspecting enemies. Equipping the Spetsnaz Grip will further increase your horizontal and vertical recoil control. For increased reload speed you will need the Fast Mag attachment.
To make the most out of every bullet the GRU Elastic Wrap will provide flinch resistance and better aim down sight time. Last but not least you will also want the KGB Skeletal Stock to increase sprint to fire time and aim walking movement speed.
8. MAC-10

The tried-and-true MAC-10 makes yet another appearance on a top ten list and for good reason.
The MAC-10 deals between 27 and 22 damage and has a rate of fire of 1111. With these two factors, the MAC-10 can kill an enemy in 270 to 324 ms but you can definitely make this gun more effective.
First and foremost, you will want to throw on a Socom Eliminator. This muzzle attachment will increase vertical recoil control as well as muzzle flash concealment.
The 5.3” Ranger barrel will maximize bullet velocity.
Next up you will want the Field Agent Grip which will increase both vertical and horizontal recoil control. With the Salvo 53 Rnd Fast Mag you will have increased ammo capacity and starting ammo, with a fast reload speed.
Finally, the Airborne Elastic Wrap is a must for increased aim down sights in addition to flinch resistance.
7. AK-74u

Up next is what I like to call “Baby’s First AK-47” aka the AK-74u.
This fully automatic submachine gun is packing some serious power. It can deal from 27 to 38 damage with a rate of fire of 697. This means it can put down an enemy somewhere between 258 and 430 ms. If that wasn’t good enough for you then you will want to equip some attachments to up this bad boy’s deadliness.
First, you will want the GRU Suppressor which will increase vertical recoil control as well as muzzle flash concealment. Combine that with the 10.3” Liberator for increased bullet velocity.
The Spetsnaz Grip is your next stop for increased vertical and horizontal recoil control.
For increased starting ammo, ammo capacity, and reload quickness you will want the VDV Rnd Fast Mag. Finally, the GRU Elastic Wrap will increase aim down sight time and increase flinch resistance.
6. Stoner 63

To put it bluntly, the Stoner 63 is one hell of an LMG and definitely should be something you keep an eye on.
The Stoner 63 is capable of dealing between 32 and 42 damage and has a rate of fire of 722. This means that the Stoner 63 can take out an enemy between 249 and 332 ms. With attachments, this LMG is even more effective so take a look at these attachments.
The Hawksmoor optic will provide increased visuals and allow you to spot enemies at greater distances. The Infantry Compensator muzzle increases vertical recoil control and the 18.6” Division Barrel increases bullet velocity for deadly accuracy. The Steady Aim Laser further increases hip fire accuracy while the Field Agent Grip will round out your accuracy with increased vertical and horizontal recoil control.
The 100 Rnd Speed Mag is another attachment you will want for its increased ammo capacity and reload quickness.
The Airborne Elastic Wrap is also great for the Stoner 63 because who doesn’t want increased aim-down sights and flinch resistance?
In the end, the Raider Pad will round out your attachments for an increased sprint to fire time and aim walking movement speed.
5. M60

That’s right it’s time for another LMG and this one is the M60.
The M60 is a fully automatic light machine gun that can deal between 44 and 50 damage with a rate of fire of 517.
With these stats that means the M60 can put an enemy down in 232 to 348 ms. While the M60 is already good, it can certainly get better. Start by equipping the Hawkmoor optic for increased sights. The Infantry Compensator will increase vertical recoil control.
Next, you will want the 228” Match Grade Barrel for increased bullet velocity. The Ember Sighting Point is a must for increased hip fire accuracy and reveal distance. The Field Agent Grip will further increase horizontal and vertical recoil control.
For increased starting ammo, ammo capacity, and reload quickness the Salvo 125 Rnd Fast Mag is a must-pick as well.
Lastly, you will want the Airborne Elastic wrap for increased aim-down sights and flinch resistance as well as the Raider Pad for increased sprint-to-fire time and aim walking movement speed.
4. Diamatti

The Diamatti may come as a surprise as it is only a handgun, but don’t let that fool you.
The Diamatti is capable of dealing between 25 and 30 damage with a rate of fire of 1111. On average it can kill an enemy in between 216 and 270 ms. In order to really shine you will want the right attachments for the job. To start you will want to dual-wield these babies with the Akimbo perk.
After that equip the Agency Suppressor for vertical recoil control and muzzle flash concealment. The 7.2” Task Force Barrel will give much-needed bullet velocity to these handguns. The SWAT 5m Laser Sight will increase hip fire accuracy and is essential to using the Diamatti Akimbo style.
Finally, the Salvo 30 Rnd Fast Mag will increase reload quickness as well as ammo capacity and starting ammunition.
3. KSP 45

The KSP 45 is a 3-round burst submachine gun that can definitely keep up with the effectiveness of fully automatic SMGs. It can deal 35 damage up to 50 and with a rate of fire of 722 it can drop an enemy in 166 to 400 ms.
When it comes to attachments you will want to start with the Sound Suppressor which will reduce muzzle flash. The 10.2” Rifled Barrel is great to increase bullet velocity. Up next is the trusty Field Agent Grip which increases both horizontal and vertical recoil control.
The Salvo 48 Rnd Fast Mag will increase reload quickness as well as ammo capacity for an increased number of accurate shots.
Finally, the Airborne Elastic Wrap will increase aim-down sights and flinch resistance to allow you to stand your ground when under fire.
2. AUG

The AUG is an excellent choice when it comes to tactical rifles thanks to its burst fire and high damage.
In fact, it does a minimum of 38 damage and a max of 51. With a rate of fire of 857 the AUG has time to kill of 154 to 421 ms. If this wasn’t deadly enough for you then let’s add some attachments to make it just right.
For starters, the Kobra Red Dot optic will improve your sighting of enemies to help you line up your shots. The Infantry Compensator increases vertical recoil which is extremely helpful for burst-fire weapons.
The 19.8” Task Force barrel increases bullet velocity to make each of your shots count.
The Jungle-Style Mag will increase reload quickness allowing you stay in the action rather than hiding behind cover reloading.
Lastly, the tried-and-true Airborne Elastic Wrap works great for the AUG as it will increase aim-down sights and flinch resistance.
1. M16

The best of best goes to none other than the M16. This 3 round burst tactical rifle packs quite a punch dealing between 40 and 50 damage with a rate of fire of 909. This means it can drop an enemy in as little as 132 ms and at the most 458 ms. Of course, this is only the beginning because with the right attachments it is even better. The Millstop Reflex optic provides a magnified sight for spotting foes at distance. The 20.5” Task Force barrel increases damage and bullet velocity for extra power. The Salvo 54 Rnd Fast Mag gives you more ammunition to kill more enemies and the quicker reload will let you do it all that much faster. The Airborne Elastic Wrap makes another appearance because its increased aim-down sights and flinch resistance is just that good. Finally, the Raider Pad increases sprint to fire time as well aim walking movement speed to completely round out this fantastic weapon.
Conclusion
Using the best guns will certainly give you an edge, but it doesn’t hurt to have some bit of skill to back these weapons up. Using the best weapons will let you stay in the game longer and therefore be able to get in more practice. Ultimately you will want to find a gun that feels comfortable to use but it doesn’t hurt to start with some great options such as these. After you have found a gun that feels good in your hands slap on camo to truly make it your own, and while it won’t necessarily affect your gameplay it will certainly make you feel cool with the right camo.

The 10 Best Armor Sets in The Witcher 3

Which are the best armor sets in The Witcher 3?
Armor has always been an essential part of RPG games, and it’s not all about the visual look and aesthetic.
When you’re placed into a world full of enemies and battles to be fought, your normal body isn’t going to be enough to protect yourself from potentially massive amounts of damage. All attacks in-game do a specific amount of damage whether it’s 100, 200, or 5,00 damage.
There are also multiple types of damage including piercing damage, environmental damage, monster damage, and many more.
The Best Armor Sets in The Witcher 3
This is where armor can really save the day and enable you to succeed in your play.
Armor takes away some of the damage that attacks do, and each armor differs in just how much damage and what specific kind it will be most resistant to.
The different visual appeal makes them fun to collect and discover, so keep reading for the list of the top ten sets in The Witcher 3.
10. Kaer Morhen Armor

We are starting with one of the easiest armor sets to discover: the Kaer Morhen, your starting armor.
This armor can eventually be crafted into a much stronger version, the Warrior’s leather jacket. You will simply combine the Kaer Morhen, one cured leather, two pieces of wire, and two leather scraps.
The Warrior’s leather jacket is a medium type of armor and has some hefty stats.
This armor provides a 9% increase in resistance to piercing damage and bludgeoning damage.
On top of that, your resistance to slashing damage will increase by 18%, your resistance to damage from monsters by 12%, and finally, your resistance to elemental damage will increase by 15%.
This armor may be found at the beginning of the game, but its upgraded version is not to be overlooked.
9. Assassin’s Armor Set

The Assassin’s Armor Set is a moderately resistant set that makes up for what it lacks in being available early on.
This set is a great option towards the beginning of your playthrough but can be replaced with something better later on.
However, a pair of Assassin’s Gauntlets provide a significant critical hit boost, an increase of 10% to be exact. Your resistance to piercing damage and bludgeoning damage will both increase by 2%, slashing damage resistance will increase by 5%, and your chances of finding herbs will go up by 5%.
While this armor may not be especially defensive, the increase in critical hit chance will be very effective in battle.
8. Viper School Armor Set

This set becomes available with the Hearts of Stone expansion.
You will complete the “Open Sesame!” Quest and buy the armor diagram from Countless Mignole.
The items required to craft the Viper School Armor set include linen, leather straps, hardened leather, wire, and cured draconid leather. This set requires the player to be level 39, and this armor has very high defensive stats.
The player’s resistance to piercing and slashing damage will increase by 30%, resistance to monster and elemental damage will increase by 40%, and your resistance to poisoning will increase by a whopping 50%. With this armor on you are going to be a tough enemy to defeat!
7. Griffin School Armor Set

The Griffin School Gear includes a full armor set and weapons.
Each of these is upgradeable, and the Griffin armor can be used to craft the Enhanced Griffin Armor.
You will need one shirt, two hardened leather, a meteorite silver plate, five leather straps, and two monster eyes. When wearing this armor your sign intensity, resistance to piercing damage, and resistance to bludgeoning damage will all increase by 5%.
Your resistance to slashing damage will increase by 10%, and your resistance to monster damage will increase by 15%. This armor is best for players who will prioritize swift movements and attacks over defense.
6. Toussaint Knight’s Tourney Armor (Crafted)

The Toussaint Knight’s Tourney Armor is a heavy armor that is available in three versions: crafted, magic, and master.
For this list, I chose the crafted Toussaint Knight’s Tourney armor. When completing the Night of Long Fangs quest you must pick Syanna’s route.
Then the relic form on this armor can be found at the Land of Thousand Fables. First of all, this armor increases Geralt’s Vitality by 500.
On top of that, your resistance to piercing damage, bludgeoning damage, and slashing damage will all increase by 43%. This piece of armor provides a unique increase of chance to deflect projectiles with the Quen magical sign by 25%.
5. Hen Gaidth Armor Set

The Hen Gaidth Armor Set becomes available with the Blood and Wine expansion.
The set can be found while completing the “What Lies Unseen” quest while inside the Unseen Elder’s lair.
This set has a red and black visual look that resembles something Dracula would have worn, and it’s definitely a resistant heavy armor.
Your resistance to slashing and monster damage will both increase by 35%. Your resistance to piercing damage will go up by 40%, resistance to bludgeoning damage will increase by 30%, and finally, your resistance to bleeding will increase by 50%!
4. Manticore School Armor Set

Some sets of armor will include a bonus when wearing multiple pieces from the same set, and the fourth set on our list is a perfect example.
The Manticore School Armor Set is introduced with the Blood and Wine expansion. You can craft this powerful armor set with the following ingredients: two cured Draconid leather, two Dimeritium plates, two monster eyes, and two monster ears.
This armor provides the player with 240 points to their Vitality. Your resistance to toxicity increases by 10, your resistance to piercing damage increases by 19%, and your resistance to slashing damage by 24%. Furthermore, your resistance to damage from monsters increases by 31%. This armor has great defensive stats and a boost to critical hit damage as well at an increase of 25%.
3. Wolf School Armor Set

Scavenger Hunt: Wolf School Gear was added on as a DLC to the original Witcher 3 game, and the point of the mission is to obtain the diagrams for the Wolf School Gear.
South of the Kaer Morhen signpost is an old signal tower that contains the diagrams. The armor can be crafted with one shirt, two pieces of hardened leather, five leather straps, two monster eyes, and one meteorite silver plate. The Wolf School Armor Set gives the player a 105-point increase in Vitality.
Your adrenaline, resistance to piercing damage, and resistance to bludgeoning damage will all increase by 5%. Then your resistance to slashing damage will increase by 10%, and your resistance to monster damage will increase by 15%.
2. Ursine School Armor Set

The second set on this list is undoubtedly one of the most powerful pieces of armor available in The Witcher 3, rightfully earning its high placement.
The Ursine School Armor is found in Skellige at the peak of Yngvar’s Fang.
The player only has to be level 20 to find this armor and can craft the armor with these ingredients: one shirt, one dark steel plate, four pieces of linen, one monster bone, and two pieces of hardened leather. Geralt’s Vitality will increase by 135 points.
Your adrenaline grain, resistance to piercing damage, and resistance to bludgeoning damage will all increase by 5%. Slashing damage will decrease by 15% and your resistance to monster damage will go up by 20%.
1. Feline School Gear Set

The number one most valuable and resistant armor on this list is none other than the Feline School Gear Set.
The Feline set is from the Cat School, and this specific set can be crafted.
Follow a road around the western cliffside near Novigrad’s temple. You will end up walking behind the houses until you discover a path that goes behind the tower. You will need Keira Metz’s amulet in order to make it through this part of the quest.
Once you’ve equipped this armor Geralt’s Vitality will increase by 135 points and his attack power will increase by 10%. Your piercing damage will increase by 6%, your resistance to slashing damage and damage from monsters will increase by 8%, and finally, your resistance to elemental damage will increase by 30%.
Summary
There is a long list of available armor pieces in the Witcher 3, complicated even more by upgradeable options and customizations.
Even though the base game is plenty filled with discoverable and craftable items, the multiple expansions after the release have added even more options to the game. This can seem intimidating to anyone who has just begun their Witcher 3 journey.
However, exploring a world filled with valuable treasures is rewarding and exciting! You will fight your way through dark caves riddled with monsters, cross great distances, and fight many battles to find these armor sets.
Whether you are trying to find the best lightweight armor or simply collect them all, I hope this list made it easier to decide which specific set to look for.

Top 10 Best Bows in WoW Classic

By Samuel Riedeman
World of Warcraft (WoW) is one of the most famous video games ever. The time between WoW’s release in 2004 and its peak in 2010 is commonly known as “Vanilla”, or Classic, WoW. This time period is the source of many players’ nostalgia: the era the game became the most popular MMORPG in the world. Unfortunately, the hunter class became an infamous joke to some players. The meme continues today where hunters’ pets are blamed for bad pulls, or a hunter rolled need on something they couldn’t use, as the story goes. But don’t allow the negativity to keep you from playing a class you enjoy. So go out there, roll a hunter, and dream about the awesome weapons you will collect. In this list, we are looking at the top 10 best bows in WoW Classic.
10. Hoodoo Hunting Bow

When players entered the Zul’gurub raid, they had a chance to summon Wushoolay through a random event called Edge of Madness. Players would find the subregion of Zul’gurub just past Zanza’s Rise. Tablets in the area would allow alchemists to learn the formula for Gurubashi Mojo Madness, which required Blood of Heroes, Massive Mojo, Black Lotus, and 6 Powerful Mojo. This would be used to extinguish the brazier in the area and begin the event, randomly summoning either Gri’lek, Renataki, Hazza’rah, or Wushoolay.
Wushoolay is a troll ghost and elemental shaman who will use strong lightning attacks against your party. Upon defeat, the boss has a chance of dropping the Hoodoo Hunting Bow. This bow has a large tiki face on it and does decent damage. The bow does 35 damage per second (DPS) and adds +10 Agility and +4 Stamina. With the effort required to acquire this bow, the Hoodoo is a great badge of honor for your hunter in WoW Classic.
9. Mandokir’s Sting

Players can return to Zul’gurub for the chance of receiving Mandokir’s Sting, a bow in the shape of a cobra. This weapon drops from an early boss in the raid, Bloodlord Mandokir. Considered an optional boss, the Bloodlord is a difficult fight but with great rewards. Mandokir begins the fight on his raptor mount, Ohgan. Once he dismounts, both Ohgan and Mandokir will engage the raid. This encounter is tricky and features unique mechanics where Mandokir will even resurrect fallen raid members.
Upon defeat, the Bloodlord has the chance of dropping a bow, Mandokir’s Sting. While this weapon doesn’t have any unique effects, the damage is decent at 37.5 DPS while also adding +11 Agility and +8 Stamina. Even if the stats don’t impress, the appearance is awesome and shows you are a skilled raider as well.
8. Bow of Taut Sinew

Located in southern Silithus, players can obtain the Bow of Taut Sinew within the Ruins of Ahn’Qiraj raid. This 20-person outdoor raid takes players to the home of the Qiraji, a bug-like race that were sealed within their ruins behind the scarab wall following the “War of the Shifting Sands”. After some Qiraji escaped their prison, Anachronos, the bronze dragon, helped the adventurers of Azeroth open the Scarab Wall to prevent further invasion. Within this raid, players would encounter Ayamiss the Hunter, the second to last boss. Ayamiss is a wasp beast who attacks from above and utilizes wasp minions as well as her poisonous stinger.
The Bow of Taut Sinew appears bug-like as if it was crafted from a limb of the Qiraji. The appearance is unique and the bow has good stats. The bow has 38.64 DPS and gives the user a bonus +22 Attack Power as well as +8 Nature Resistance.
7. Striker’s Mark

One of the most well-known raids of Vanilla WoW is Molten Core, full of many iconic bosses. Within Blackrock Mountain, the Molten Core raid is home to Ragnaros the Firelord. The favorite among Ragnaros’s pets, Magmadar is a two-headed core hound and the second boss of the raid. Among the loot drop from the core hound is the bow, Striker’s Mark. The epic weapon appears to be made from bone and features a skull above the purple grip. Striker’s mark has 39.6 DPS as well as +22 Attack Power and improves your chance to hit by 1%.
6. Rhok’delar, Longbow of the Ancient Keepers

To begin the quest to obtain this legendary bow, players must receive an Ancient Petrified Leaf by defeating Majordomo in the Molten Core raid. Players learn that this leaf belonged to Vartrus the Ancient in Felwood. Vartrus offers the two quests required to craft this bow. “A Proper String” tasks players to collect a Mature Black Dragon Sinew from Onyxia. Found in the Onyxia’s Lair raid, Onyxia is the daughter of Deathwing and sister of Nefarian, as well as the broodmother of the Black Dragonflight in Azeroth. “Stave of the Ancients” requires hunters to defeat four demonic corrupters in Felwood and forced players to complete this quest alone. Once a hunter collected the heads of the four demons, Vartrus would reward them with an Ancient Rune Etched Stave. Together, these items were used to create Rhok’delar, Longbow of the Ancient Keepers as well as Lok’delar, Stave of the Ancient Keepers.
Rok’delar would improve your chance to get a critical strike by 1% and +17 ranged Attack Power while Lok’delar improved your chance to get a critical strike by 2% and added +45 Attack Power when fighting Demons. Not only would hunters receive a fantastic weapon upon completing this quest, but also great bragging rights. This weapon remains one of the most iconic weapons in WoW Classic because of how challenging it is to obtain!
5. Heartstriker

Another iconic raid from the early days of World of Warcraft was Blackwing Layer. This was the home of Nefarian, the black dragon also known as Deathwing. This was an important point in the Cataclysm story where the player could confront the infamous Nefarian and attempt to defeat him themselves. The third boss in this raid was Broodlord Lashlayer, who guards the Halls of Strife, blocking the way into Nefarian’s inner sanctum. The Broodlord is a Drakonid and players must traverse two “suppression rooms” full of traps and minions before they can reach him. Once he is defeated, players have a chance to receive the Heartstriker, a bow ornated with two black and red dragons. The Heartstriker has 44 DPS and adds +24 Attack Power when equipped.
4. High Warlord’s Recurve

This is the first of two PvP bows on this list, both of which are incredibly difficult to obtain. In World of Warcraft Classic, the Honor System is used to track PvP progress. Honor is collected through Honorable Kills (HKs) when a player kills another player of the opposite faction in the open world or battlegrounds. Not all HKs are counted equally, however, so a player’s Honor rating is tracked with Honor Contribution Points (CPs). This is so objectives in battlegrounds like capturing flags or bases will also reward Honor. CPs calculate your rating and reward you with a rank. In the Horde, these range from a Rank 1 Scout to Rank 6 Stone Guard, etc.
As a player collects Rank Points and ranks up, a PvP vendor will have items for sale depending on the rank. The Horde vendor is Sergeant Thunderhorn, located in the Hall of Legends of Orgrimmar. Each new rank unlocks armor, mounts, and a weapon at the highest rank. Horde players must collect 60000 Rating Points to reach Rank 14, High Warlord, and unlock epic-quality weapons. Only then would a Horde hunter be able to obtain the High Warlord’s Recurve bow. This weapon has 46.1 DPS and +36 ranged Attack Power when equipped.
3. Grand Marshal’s Bullseye

In the same fashion as the Highwarlord’s Recurve, the Grand Marshal’s Bullseye is unlocked through PvP ranks. In the Alliance, ranks range from a Rank 1 Private to Rank 6 Knight, and so on. As a player collects Rank Points and ranks up, a PvP vendor will have items for sale depending on the rank. The Alliance vendor is Captain O’Neal, located in the Champions’ Hall in Stormwind. Each new rank unlocks armor, mounts, and a weapon at the highest rank. Alliance players must collect 60000 Rating Points to reach Rank 14, Grand Marshal, and unlock epic-quality weapons. Only then would an Alliance hunter be able to obtain the Grand Marshal’s Bullseye bow. This weapon has 46.1 DPS and +36 ranged Attack Power when equipped.
2. Huhuran’s Stinger

Very similar to the Bow of Taut Sinew, this weapon drops from a Qiraji wasp in an Ahn’Qiraj raid. This time players must enter the Temple of Ahn’Qiraj raid, different from the Ruins of Ahn’Qiraj. Players learn that the disturbance in the Ruins and Temple of Ahn’Qiraaj were caused by the old god, C’thun. Now heroes must enter Temple of Ahn’Qiraj, challenge C’thun’s most wicked servants, and slay the god. The fourth boss of the raid, Princess Huhuran is a large wasp who also uses poison against the raiding party. Upon her defeat, hunters have a chance to receive Huhuran’s Stinger, seemingly crafted from the Princess’s corpse. The bow has 46.3 DPS and adds +18 Agility to the player.
1. Soulstring

The Naxxramas raid has introduced some of the most iconic bosses and the strongest weapons in the game at the time. This included the Epic bow, Soulstring. In order to obtain this weapon, players must defeat the Four Horsemen and loot it from their chest. The four members were all former Paladins who were turned into undead. Located in the Military Quarter of Naxxramas, the Four Horsemen were powerful Death Knights who guarded Kel’Thuzad, the final boss of Naxxramas. This encounter was known to be very difficult as raid groups must face all four bosses at once. Upon defeat, their chest could contain many rare items, including the Soulstring. This bow had 50 DPS, the highest at the time. Additionally, the weapon would improve your chance to get a critical strike by 1% and add +16 Attack Power.
Conclusion
While these bows may be forgotten on the live servers, every weapon on this list is a great option if you’re playing Classic as a hunter. Nostalgic players of the Vanilla era have rejoiced as World of Warcraft Classic has come to give these players a taste of the past. Whether you’re returning or it’s your first time in the world, maybe you, too, can enter an era of Azeroth before the time of Cataclysm.

Top 10 Call of Duty Warzone Weapons That Fry

By Erika Lentz
In order to annihilate your enemies, you need to obtain the best weapons and in-game accessories. For instance, certain Black Ops Cold War guns are perfect for Warzone. You should also check out the blueprint weapons released in Season 5 of Warzone. Not only can you get a slick appearance for your weapon, but there are a ton of operator skins available as well. With the right setup, you can slaughter enemies and look great doing it. There are a ton of ways to blaze through Warzone like it’s nothing but remember that we’re here to talk about some killer weapons. So, check out our list of the top 10 Call of Duty Warzone weapons that fry.
10. Grau 5.56

The Grau 5.56 is an assault rifle and one of the most popular weapons of any type in Call of Duty: Warzone. It can be unlocked as part of the Season 2 Battle Pass (Tier 15). In order to obtain the Grau 5.56, you will need to get 5 kills in one minute with an assault rifle (any specific assault rifle) 25 times. This seems daunting but it is simple to achieve when you play in multiple different game modes. There are currently 22 different blueprints that you can unlock for the Grau. These don’t change weapon stats or gameplay but they do look pretty awesome.
This fully automatic assault rifle has an overall rating of right around 70. Its highest stats are accuracy (70), damage (72), fire rate (72), and control (70). More specifically, it has damage stats of 42 for the head and 28 for the chest, stomach, and limbs.
You also want to think about the best attachments for each of the weapons that you use. For the Grau 5.56, we recommend the Monolithic Suppressor, Tempus 26.4” Archangel, Commando Foregrip, Tac Laser, and 60 Round Mags. The Monolithic Suppressor increases your range and suppresses noise, helping you stay concealed from enemies. The Tempus 26.4” Archangel also increases your range as well as bullet velocity. The Commando Foregrip improves recoil stabilization and aiming stability. The Tac Laser improves your aim down sights accuracy. Finally, the 60 Round Mag attachment increases your magazine to 60 rather than 30.
9. Bruen MK9

The Bruen MK9 is a type of fully automatic light machine gun (LMG) that can add some serious firepower to your arsenal. It was released as part of Season 3.

Conclusion
As you can see, no matter what style of combat you prefer, there is a weapon and attachment setup for you. The list we have here are your best choices but be sure to check out all of the available weapons and attachments for yourself.
And don’t forget that you need access to the best equipment just as much as your in-game persona does. For starters, you need a good system to support your gameplay. PC gamers can look to either desktop or laptop computers for this. Then, you’ll need to think about the gameplay, itself. There’s nothing worse than a low-quality keyboard that can’t handle your skills. So, make sure you invest in a good gaming keyboard.
Those of you who are impressed by visuals will benefit from a good gaming TV or gaming monitor to display the battle in vibrant color and detail. Audiophiles need a high quality gaming headset to get the full experience of surround sound, base, and all other audio elements that the game has to offer. These are just some of the core components of a good gaming setup, though. There are so many other accessories out there for you to choose from. Try them out and see what works best for you.
