Call of Duty Black Ops: Cold War is yet another COD game to feature a Zombies mode. The game takes players back to the original map, Nacht der Untoten, only this time it has been revamped, renamed, and reimagined.

Not only has the map been recreated, but the entire system that was once Zombies has been redone as well. Now players can take on the hordes with a weapon of their choice right off the bat. On top of that, these weapons can also be upgraded in multiple ways.

10 KSP 45

The KSP 45 has great damage to start the game with. When upgraded, players will have no problem mowing down a few packs of zombies. This gun is burst fire so it doesn't have the same fire rate as some other weapons, but it holds its own and is great to start with.

The downside to the KSP 45 is that it ends up being a little lackluster once players start getting into rounds over ten. It still works alright and its lightweight frame means a faster running speed so players can easily outpace the zombies that end up trailing them.

9 RPD

The RPD in previous Zombies modes was one of legend. Players who got it out of the box were ecstatic. They leaped for joy because they knew they had gotten one of the best guns in the game. The same rings true in the new Zombies mode, except players can now start off with this great weapon and they can customize it to their heart's content.

Field upgrades allow for this gun and all other LMGs to be more powerful. Again, the downside comes with the mobility, but that is a small price to pay for the power this gun offers.

8 Stoner 63

The Stoner 63 LMG is the first LMG players will get access to, but it is also a game-changer. Without any upgrades, this weapon can shred through zombies in the early rounds. Once it gets upgraded, players can easily take on higher round zombies with ease.

Unlocking the upgrades will only make the killing easier. The only downside to the weapon, like all LMGs, is the lack of mobility. Players can easily get by that by grabbing the Stammin Up perk.

7 Krig 6

The Krig 6 is similar to the Galil from previous Zombies games. It has a very steady rate of fire that doesn't throw the player's view around and can easily help them get through the early rounds without a problem. This gun is even better when upgraded and the attachments make it even more worthwhile.

Players who don't upgrade the weapon will notice a decent damage dropoff when they start to get into the higher rounds; however, for starting out, the Krig 6 is perhaps the best of the best when it comes to assault rifles.

6 Aug

Players will remember the Aug from many other Call of Duty Zombies modes. It was once a fan-favorite and it still holds good merit. This gun is a headshot machine and players who use it will realize that it can quickly take down both normal and elite enemies.

The downside to this weapon is the damage dropoff when a player doesn't get a headshot. While the drop isn't too bad, players will want to aim for the head at all times.

5 M60

The M60 is perhaps the best LMG players can start off within the game. It has high damage and can easily carry players above round ten without the need for upgrades. It has a massive damage output that puts other guns to shame.

The only problems the gun faces, like with all LMGs, is the lack of movement when carrying it and its horrible reload speed. The reload speed can always be upgraded through perks and attachments, and the same goes for mobility. Bosses can easily be taken down with this weapon without the need of spending tons of ammo in the process.

4 M16

Better than any other tactical rifle in the game, the M16 has become a favorite amongst players for its huge damage potential. This gun is able to take people into high rounds with relative ease without losing too much of its damage (as long as players remember to upgrade it).

Even without upgrading this weapon, it can easily handle the early rounds. Players who aim for the head will find that the M16 can instantly kill many enemies that dare cross into its line of fire.

3 Hauer 77

The Hauer 77 is another gun that many players have been grabbing for its raw attack power. This is one of the few guns that are amazing even when not upgraded, although doing so only makes it that much better. Starting off with this weapon, players can easily make it to the double-digit rounds without too much worry.

The only true downside to this gun is that it is pump-action, which makes it fire a little slower than the norm. However, even that drawback doesn't matter too much when each zombie is killed in a single or two shots.

2 Knife

It might sound strange that a knife would be one of the best weapons in the game, but that is the case. The knife is capable of getting one-hit-kills for a long time without the need of using the Pack-A-Punch machine.

It can easily get good players up to round fifteen without having any troubles (As long as they don't get caught in the middle of a horde). The only area where this weapon doesn't shine is boss killing. Elite zombies will be trouble for players who are only holding the knife and that is only because of the damage these enemies cause.

1 Gallo SA12

The Gallo SA12 is the first shotgun players get access to when leveling up and the last shotgun they will ever need. Capable of killing zombies with one hit up to round ten, this gun is well equipped from the start. Players can then work on upgrading the weapon if they choose or they can buy a new one from the marking on the downed plane.

The one players can buy is stronger, but it isn't necessary. Of course, players can always upgrade the gun after leveling it up. The vertical shot works very well.
