We don’t often get Year 2 content in CoD games, but we do. great weapons this way in the past. BOCW’s first Year 2 was the Vargo 52 pictured above. It has a wonderfully forgiving rate of fire and pretty balanced stats overall, making it a great single primary loadout. Here is a guide on how to unlock the Vargo 52 and an attachment configured to use it.
How to unlock the Vargo 52?
Well, this is where it gets weird. The Vargo 52 Assault Rifle was unlockable in Modern Warfare 2019 before its official release, but not in Black Ops Cold War itself. Since the appropriate publication, however, there are now official challenges to unlock the weapon in BOCW, but the detour via Modern Warfare still works and may even be faster:
- BOCW Multiplayer: Do at least 1000 damage with Assault Rifles in 15 different matches. To be safe, you should be getting around 15-20 kills per match, and you need to complete all matches or they won’t count towards the challenge.
- BOCW Zombies: Get 750 kills with an Assault Rifle upgraded three times on the Pack-a-Punch machine.
- MW2019 Multiplayer: Do at least 1000 damage with Assault Rifles in 15 different matches. In Modern Warfare, you don’t have to completely complete matches, only get around 15-20 kills. After that, you can leave the match and start a new one.
- Store: You can, of course, just buy a set from the store that includes a blueprint for the Vargo 52.
The best Vargo 52 prop setup
| Making up | Attachment |
| Muzzle | GRU suppressor |
| Barrel | 18.6″ Workgroup |
| Optical | 3x axial arms |
| Front handle | Spetznaz grip |
| Ammunition | 60 round magazines |
This is a fairly conventional BOCW AR build, but it’s been working for over a year now, so why not. We’re basically maximizing range and speed, staying off the radar, and trying to get some recoil control with this accessory set. The only variation you could go for is a different optic, because with a gun like this that can handle close range, using the Microflex LED would also make sense.

The best secondary weapon for the Vargo 52
With a weapon like the Vargo, you don’t necessarily need a secondary weapon, so instead, we’ll take the Top Break revolver. And with the configuration above, the Top Break turns into a small shotgun thanks to the M15 Shot Shell ammunition. Add Akimbo to that, and we have a deadly melee weapon. The perfect backup of a Vargo 52. Here is our Top Break Loadout.

The best equipment for the Vargo 52
We’re taking more aggressive gear choices than normal, as the Vargo’s fast rate of fire allows it to be quite powerful in close quarters compared to other ARs.. Stuns can help us check enemies, but will also help us push for an advantage. Semtex is just a great all-around grenade choice for aggressive players.
The best advantages for the Vargo 52
| Advantage 1 | NMS |
| Advantage 2 | Temperate |

Advantage 3 |
combat scout |
“Temperate?!” I hear you stammer. Yes indeed, because Ghost is finally getting less dominant thanks to more expensive drones and nerfing heartbeat sensors and the perk itself, and because we don’t need Overkill in this loadout. So we take Tempered for faster replacement of our plates. In the first and third slot, however, we kept route 1; EOD is the most commonly useful passive buff, and Combat Scout is incredibly effective on the new bush-heavy map.
