The MG 82 was added in Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War as part of the Season Four batch of content for the game.
The weapon is a light machine gun that fires in full auto mode, and has the fastest firing rate in the class with increased aiming speed.
While its mobility is limited like all LMGs, the MG 82 achieves a good balance between LMG and AR playstyles. Also, with proper attachments that prioritize mobility and damage range this weapon can become one of the game’s most flexible LMGs.
Weapon Background
The MG 82, previously known as “Ameli”, was first added as a light machine gun in COD: Ghosts and remained with this name in COD: Advanced Warfare, and on its secret version from Infinite Warfare.
The weapon was finally renamed to “MG 82” only in season 4 of Call of Duty Cold War.

Players may obtain this new LMG for free in the Season 4 Battle Pass, similar to other previous weapons in past Battle Passes.
To get this LMG, players need to simply reach tier 15 in the Season 4 Battle Pass for Black Ops Cold War. Once they achieve Tier 15, they will be able to level up and utilize this new LMG in all future battles.
