While Black Ops Cold War already has a variety of ARs and SMGs to offer, players feel they need more options. Therefore, the next season might bring a new LMG and a sniper rifle.

Fans are hoping to get the Dragunov sniper rifle in Black Ops Cold War

The top reply to the tweet was a fan suggesting the upcoming guns might as well be the DSR Ballista and the LSAT. However, another fan pointed out that both these weapons do not fit the timeline of the game. There is nothing official from Treyarch on this yet.

The other popular and historically accurate guess was the Soviet SVD or the Dragunov sniper rifle. The Dragunov is a popular sniper rifle in most Call of Duty games. The semi-auto sniper has been a fan-favorite in many titles.
