Using the Gunsmith system inCall of Duty: Black Ops Cold Warallows players to raise important stats and fully customize any weapon of their choice. Using the many attachment options, players can edit damage, accuracy, and movement speed by simply adding or removing them from the weapon. With full stats now available on each gun, fans are noticing some interestingCall of Duty: Black Ops Cold Warweapon loadouts with unintended side effects.
WhenCall of Duty: Black Ops Cold Warlaunched, many fans criticized the game for having lackluster attachments. From weapon upgrades that are worse the later they are earned to attachments that barely affect the gun at all, players were easily frustrated with the system. Several patches later, and fans are finally finding a balance when it comes to creating weapon loadouts.

In a post on Reddit created by champybaby, an image clearly shows an interesting side effect to the Infiltrator Grip on the Krig 6. As players scan through the numbers, this fan quickly noticed that the movement speed number has far exceeded the sprinting move speed. Although it is only a .39 difference between the two, fans are calling this an obvious bug, but it does raise an interesting question when it comes toCall of Duty: Black Ops Cold Warand its attachmentbalancing.
It was first noticed by theCall of Duty: Warzonecommunity shortly after the Season 1 integration. When players loaded in to compare theCall of Duty: Black Ops Cold Warweapons toCall of Duty: Warzone’s,many fans noticed that the attachments either gave barely any bonuses or were substantially weaker compared to theirModern Warfarecounterparts.
Speed, damage increases, and recoil reduction were all over the board, in comparison, with almost no pattern. As fans looked closer at theCall of Duty: Black Ops Cold Warattachment options, many players started to comment that the numbers felt arbitrarily placed.
Since then, the attachment has been updated, but as a player in the Reddit feeds comment section noted, the number is obviously bugged. The assumption on this glitch is that the actual sprint speed adjusted accordingly; it just is notlisted inCall of Duty: Black Ops Cold War’s information tab. If this is true, it only echoes the community feeling that many attachments feel rushed rather then carefully balanced.
Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold Waris available on PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.
