First and foremost, this guide was written by ChozoZero alone. This may be not
be reproduced under any circumstances except for personal, private use. It may
not be placed on any web site or otherwise distributed publicly without
advance permission. If you want to post this guide somewhere else, send me an
e-mail (my e-mail address is at the bottom of the FAQ) and I'll tell you if
it's OK. I still want credit for it, wherever you post it.
That said, with all this talk of sharing information, where I got some of this
information comes into question. The answer to that is Den Kirson's wonderful
site for Call of Duty information,
http://denkirson.xanga.com/735016527/black-ops/
He takes his data directly from the game's files, meaning it is completely
accurate. Of course, some of the data (such as weapon unlock levels, price of
attachments, etc) comes from my own research with the game. If this guide
didn't have any info of my own to add, why would I be writing it? I wouldn't.
I put this notice here and not in the closing because I don't want it to go
unnoticed just how helpful his site has been. Seriously.

=============================
|| 1. Introduction [1INT] ||
=============================
Hello, and welcome to ChozoZero's Call of Duty: Black Ops Weapon Data FAQ!
This guide's intent is to give an unbiased, completely objective source of
information on the weapons in the game. Being such a popular franchise, lots
of rumors are spread, and the completely wrong and inaccurate weapon bars
provided in-game are no help. But doesn't Den Kirson's site already do that?
Well, I provide some of my own data, hoping to make this guide almost a Black
Ops weapon data singularity (which isn't a realistic goal, but I can hope).
There are some things from Den's site that I decided not to include because it
would be unneccessary or too confusing, so I cannot stress enough that if you
need more info, such as precise values for weapon recoil, go to the site
linked in the section above.
Now that that's out of the way, you should know that this guide only applies to
Multiplayer. I have no data on anything in Campaign or Zombies. This is a
Multiplayer-only FAQ.
Another small note: as far as I know, there is no character set that has the
symbol for CoD Points used in-game. Even if there was, I probably couldn't use
it as it's not a standard ASCII character. So, I will use the US Dollar symbol
($) any time I need to mention CoD Points.
| 1A. Reading the FAQ [1RDF] |
Here is an example of what the weapon data will look like:
Weapon Name
Unlocked: Level at which this weapon is unlocked. (May include some additional
explanatory notes) Number in parentheses is cost to buy this weapon.
Damage: Amount of damage done per bullet. Sniper rifles are a special case -
instead of a damage category, they have a category listing one-shot and
two-shot kill areas. Will get more in-depth in a bit.
Rate of fire: This is how fast this gun shoots. Units are RPM, or Rounds Per
Minute. This is included for most weapons, including three-round burst guns,
though it doesn't mean much for those. Even for semi-automatic guns this will
be listed; this is basically the fire cap for these guns, meaning that it isn't
possible to shoot them any faster than this. This is calculated with an
unlimited magazine, so don't take this value to heart.
Reload time: Self-explanatory, how long it takes to reload in seconds. Number
in parentheses is how long it takes to reload from an empty magazine. These
take longer because there is an extra animation involved, such as pulling a
charging handle or rotating a bolt.
Keep in mind that all weapons can be "reload canceled", meaning that the
bullets are added back in to the gun, but the animation isn't completed. This
is much more useful with longer-reloading weapons and without Sleight of Hand.
Speaking of which, Sleight of Hand simply cuts reload time in half.
Clip size: Number of bullets in one clip of the gun. Number in parentheses is
with Extended Mags.
Ammo count: Number of bullets in reserve for the gun. This does not count the
bullets that begin chambered in the gun. The exception is the weapons found in
the "other" category, which count the total ammo that can be held. Number in
parentheses is the maximum number of bullets that can be held in the gun. This
is how many extra bullets you begin with when you have Scavenger Pro. This
sub-category is omitted for the weapons in the "other" category because
Scavenger Pro does not affect them. They begin with full ammo (as far as I
know).
Available attachments: Self-explanatory, the attachments that can be bought
for this particular gun. These appear in the order that they are listed
in-game, which tends to be by price. There is a special section devoted to
them.
Regarding damage - Players have 100 health in Core game modes. In Hardcore game
modes, this is reduced to only 30. This means that certain weapons gain a
distinct advantage in Hardcore that they would not have in Core.
Additionally, bullet damage drops off at longer ranges. This means that the
farther your bullets fly, the less damage they do to enemies. The first number
under the "damage" category is the highest possible damage done
(closer ranges). The second number is lowest possible damage (further ranges).
Take for example the damage indicator 35-25. This means that bullets from this
gun, when first fired, do 35 damage. Over time, however, the damage done by
these bullets gradually drops down to 25, where they will stay until they hit
something or otherwise disappear. This gun is a three-shot to four-shot kill
in Core, and a one-shot to two-shot kill in Hardcore. Compare 40-30.
Three-shot to four-shot kill in Core, and always a one-shot kill in Hardcore.
These do not count bullets that penetrate surfaces, which are always weaker.
Sniper rifles are unique in that they all technically do the same damage: 70
normally, 50 when silenced. The difference in kill area comes from the
multipliers done to certain areas of the body. Basically, a multiplier is added
to the damage whenever a bullet hits different areas of the body. For one-shot
kill areas, this multiplier is 1.5. Elsewhere, it is either 1.1 or 1.0. Keep
in mind that sniper rifles will ALWAYS be a one-shot kill to the head, even
when silenced.
All other guns have similar multipliers, though only for the head - 1.4x damage
done by bullets in the head. This effectively reduces the number of bullets
needed to kill by one. Everywhere else on the body has a mere 1.0x multiplier
on non-sniper guns.

|| 3. Perks [3PRK] ||
======================
All Perks cost $2000, except for the first in each category, which is already
unlocked at Level 4. To upgrade a Perk to pro status, three pro challenges
must be completed. Once these are done, another $3000 must be spent to get the
benefit of the pro Perk in question.
| 3A. Perk 1 [3PK1] |
Lightweight: Move faster. Specifically, your movement speed is multiplied by
1.07x.
-Pro: Take no fall damage.
Scavenger: Replenish ammo and lethal grenades when walking over a pack -
these are dropped by killed enemies (even those you haven't personally killed).
-Pro: Start with maximum ammo for guns. Replenish tactical grenades.
Ghost: Invisible to Spy Planes and Spy Planes only.
-Pro: Invisible to Infrared Scopes, aerial killstreaks, and Sentry Guns.
Additionally, enemies get no red name or crosshair when looking at you.
Flak Jacket: Take less damage from explosives. Explosive damage is multiplied
by .35x. This means you can survive any explosion as long as it isn't directly
touching you (direct impact rocket, stuck with a crossbow, RC-XD, etc.)
-Pro: Take much less damage from fire and resets fuse on thrown back grenades.
Fire damage is multiplied by .05x and frag fuse is reset to 2.5 seconds when
picked up.
Hardline: Requirements for killstreak rewards are reduced by one.
-Pro: Enables changing of Care Package crates and ONLY Care Package crates.
SAM Turret, Sentry Gun, and Valkyrie Rocket crates CAN NOT be changed. This
used to be so, but it was patched.
| 3B. Perk 2 [3PK2] |
Hardened: Penetrate walls and objects better. Reduces damage dropoff through
surfaces, and enables penetration from more angles.
-Pro: Bullets do more damage to killstreaks, and view jumps around less when
shot. 1.25x multiplier for bullets done to killstreaks; .2x multiplier to view
kick.
Scout: Hold breath with sniper scopes twice as long.
-Pro: Weapon switching is twice as fast.
Steady Aim: Hipfire spread is reduced. Hip spread multiplied by .65x.
-Pro: Fire more quickly after sprinting; .6x multiplier to delay.
Sleight of Hand: Reload time cut in half.
-Pro: Aim down sight time cut in half, except for sniper rifles.
Warlord: Two attachments on primary weapon, provided they are compatible. Can't
have two underbarrel attachments (including Grip, Dual Mags, and Dual Wield)
or two sights.
-Pro: Begin with one extra lethal and tactical grenade, Willy Pete exempted.
| 3C. Perk 3 [3PK3] |
Tactical Mask: Eliminates effects of Nova gas.
-Pro: Flash and Stun grenades are much less effective on you. .1x multiplier to
their effects. Also reveals the location of an enemy who is flashed/stunned.
Marathon: Doubles amount of sprint.
-Pro: Infinite sprint time.
Ninja: Much quieter footsteps. .25x footstep noise.
-Pro: Completely silent. Enemy noise is multiplied by 2.
Second Chance: Take lethal damage, fall to the ground with pistol out. .5
seconds of invincibility after lethal damage, 10 seconds before death if not
killed manually. Dual wield and Full Auto attachments do not work in Second
Chance.
-Pro: Lifetime is increased to 30 seconds. Can be revived by a teammate; this
takes 1.15 seconds.
Hacker: Detect enemy equipment and grenades. They appear red and flashing.
-Pro: Invisible to Motion Sensor. Sabotage enemy equipment and sentries. Crates
stolen from the enemy become bombs, meaning that you get the killstreak, but
the crate is still there for the enemy to take, only to have it explode.
=======================================
|| 4. Grenades and Equipment [4G&E] ||
=======================================
| 4A. Lethal [4LTL] |
Frag: Available from Level 1. Fragmentation grenade. Can be cooked by holding
the grenade button. Fuse is five seconds; the center crosshairs pulsate once
every second. Best cooked to three seconds, though optimal times vary
depending on range.
Semtex: $2000. Sticky grenade. Cannot be cooked, but explodes faster than frag.
Gives enemy more time to react, though. Can be stuck to surfaces: walls,
floors, even enemies. Has the same blast radius as frag.
Tomahawk: $2000. This game's throwing knife. Tap the grenade button to get a
very quick throw. Instant kill anywhere, but difficult to use. Can be picked
up and used again and again.
| 4B. Tactical [4TCT] |
Willy Pete: Available from Level 1. Smoke grenade that also does damage upon
detonation. Smoke screen lasts for 8 seconds. Grenade's explosion causes 20
damage near the center, and 10 near the edge. Spawn with one, even with
Warlord Pro.
Nova Gas: $1500. Gas grenade that blurs vision, slows enemies, and does damage.
13 damage is done every second while in the gas, meaning an enemy at full
health must be in it for 8 seconds to die. Can be countered with Tactical Mask.
Spawn with one, or two with Warlord Pro.
Flashbang: $1500. Blinds and deafens enemies within its blast radius. Can
disable Sentry Guns and equipment temporarily. Can kill enemies in Second
Chance with just the effects. Spawn with two, or three with Warlord Pro.
Concussion: $1500. Slows and deafens enemies, and impairs vision somewhat. Can
disable Sentry Guns and equipment temporarily. Can kill enemies in Second
Chance with just the effects. Spawn with two, or three with Warlord Pro.
Decoy: $1500. Simulates gunfire. Makes gunshot noises, and makes red dots
appear on enemy radar. Friendly decoy grenades cause green dots to appear on
radar where they show red dots to the enemy. Keep in mind that firing still
creates a red dot on enemy radar, but it is indistguishable from those created
by a decoy. Spawn with one, or two with Warlord Pro.
| 4C. Equipment [4EQP] |
Camera Spike: $2000. A remote camera that can provide a view of the area
directly in front of where you place it. Replaces radar; can toggle between
the two by pressing D-pad up.
C4: $2000. Plastic explosives that can be thrown and remotely detonated.
Sticks to walls, floors, ceilings, etc, but not players. Can be detonated by
double-tapping X or Square. Has the same blast radius as Frag and Semtex
grenades, but can't be thrown as far. You spawn with two.
Tactical Insertion: $2500. Allows you to mark where you will respawn for your
next life. Enemies can destroy your tactical insertion, and you can move it
within a life. You can also choose to cancel it during the Killcam. Cannot be
used in Free-For-All game modes.
Jammer: $2500. Disables enemy radar and equipment in its vicinity. Also
scrambles voice communications to the team ("Enemy spy plane above", etc, NOT
in-game voice chat) The closer the enemy is to the Jammer, the more scrambled
their radar and voice communications are.
Motion Sensor: $5000. Detects enemies who are in its vicinity. Basically is a
localized spy plane that shows a red dot on the radar when an enemy is nearby.
The radius isn't that big, for balance reasons, so place it somewhere vital,
but less-traveled.
Claymore: $5000. Placable, directional landmine that explodes when an enemy
enters its blast radius. Has a 120° cone of vision in front of it, and the
same blast radius as Frag and Semtex. When tripped, it makes a noise (though
it's much quieter than in MW2), and there is a .8 second delay between the
noise and detonation.
| 4D. Attachments [4ATC] |
This is a list of all the weapon attachments in the game, what they do, and
how much they cost. Listed in alphabetical order.
ACOG Sight: $1000. Replaces iron sights on gun with ACOG sight. Enhanced zoom,
magnified recoil.
Dual Mag: $1000. Changes the reload animation so that every other reload is
much faster, starting with the first. Also gives you two extra magazines on
spawn.
Dual Wield: $1000. Gives you a second weapon to use in your other hand, but
disables sight aiming, thus hipfire only.
Extended Mag: $1000. Gives extra ammo per magazine. This ammo is, in fact,
taken from the reserve ammo you begin with, meaning you begin with the same
number of rounds overall. Typically, rounds per magazine is increased by 1.5x.
For LMGs, it is doubled.
Flamethrower: $1000. Places an underbarrel flamethrower on your gun. Can be
switched to with D-pad left. Available on Assault Rifles.
Full Auto Upgrade: $2000. Enables fully automatic firing. Available only on
CZ75.
Grenade Launcher: $3000. Places an underbarrel grenade launcher on your gun.
Can be switched to with D-pad left. Grenades fired must travel a bit before
they will explode. One-shot kill if directly impacted with a grenade; no range
restriction on direct-impact kills. Available on Assault Rifles and AK74u.
Grip: $1000. Reduces recoil. Incompatible with underbarrel attachments when
using Warlord.
Infrared Scope: $2000. Replaces iron sights/scope with Infrared Scope. Enemies
are easier to distinguish. Recoil is magnified when aiming down this scope.
Low Power Scope: $1000. Replaces iron sights with Low Power Scope. Enhanced
zoom. Available only on G11.
Masterkey: $1000. Places an underbarrel shotgun on your gun. Can be switched
to with D-pad left.
Rapid Fire: $3000. Increases fire rate of the weapon by 1.33x, but increases
recoil too. Available on SMGs.
Red Dot Sight: $1000. Replaces iron sights with Red Dot Sight. Customizable.
Reflex Sight: $1000. Replaces iron sights with Reflex Sight. Customizable.
Sits higher above the gun than Red Dot Sight, but has a thicker frame.
Snub Nose: $500. Shortens the barrel, adding accuracy while reducing damage
(which is the opposite of what similar procedures do in the real world).
Also makes it look cooler. Available only on Python.
Speed Reloader: $1000. Quickens reload by replacing all rounds at once,
instead of one-by-one. Available only on Python.
Suppressor: $2000. Adds a suppressor to the barrel of the gun. Makes firing
sounds quieter, eliminates muzzle flash, and prevents your red dot from
appearing on enemy radar when firing. On most guns, lowers your effective
range, making bullets do less damage more quickly. On the SPAS-12, there is no
change.
Upgraded Iron Sights: $250. Replaces the iron sights with better ones.
Available only on M1911, Makarov, and CZ75.
Variable Zoom: $2000. Replaces scope with Variable Zoom scope. Three levels of
zoom - one less than normal scope, one more than normal scope, and one that is
the same as normal scope. Can be cycled through with B or Circle button.
Available on Sniper Rifles and G11.
