Gunfighter

Gunfighter allows you to equip 8 attachments at once on your primary weapon. It allows for a lot more customization, and bonus stats. Using this Wildcard, you can deck out your weapon and unleash its full potential.

Gunfighter is likely the most overpowered Wildcard at the moment, especially when utilizing it on close-range weapons with short time-to-kill stats.

Best Wildcard to use in Black Ops Cold War

At this time, it looks like most players prefer using the Gunfighter Wildcard for their loadouts. It is by far the most useful Wildcard, as it unlocks three additional attachment slots for your weapon. The maximum amount of attachments any given weapon can have without this Wildcard is five. Using Gunfighter, players can equip a total of eight.

Since attachments provide various benefits to your weapons, this can significantly increase your damage and other stats. In turn, you can get more kills, accumulate scorestreaks, and gain experience more quickly.
