It might be the same in name and similar in appearance, but the 1980’s version performs quite differently. After a minor buff as part of the Sept. 15 Warzone update, the Cold War AK-47 is now viable in

The best AK47 loadout in Black Ops Cold War Season 2

Since the start of Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War, the AK47 has been a mainstay in players’ loadouts. It features terrific damage, accuracy and mobility for an assault rifle, making it a popular choice among fans. The AK also hasn’t really been nerfed by Treyarch, so its loadout hasn’t changed too much in Season 2. However, there are some attachments that have been nerfed which throw a wrench into some players’ loadouts for the weapon. Nevertheless, there’s still a dominant loadout for the AK47 in Black Ops Cold

So why are so many aspiring teams trying to make it work without them now, and do they stand a chance?Modern warfare: AWPer go killIt doesn’t take a lot

In an interview that marks the end of his CS:GO playing career, at least for the time being, Damian "⁠daps⁠" Steele spoke about what drove him away from the game he spent the majority of the last decade playing. daps also addressed the community's biggest talking points about himself: individual skill, the relationship with Tarik "⁠tarik⁠" Celik, and the notion that he and other North American players are switching to VALORANT only for the money. Coaching in CS didn't feel like the right option for daps after leaving Gen.G The
