The Marshal was released about a week into Season 5 of Cold War. It’s a break-action shotgun pistol with very high damage in close range. Like all COD fans, you’re probably wondering what the best attachments and class setups are for the Marshal.
Because the weapon is a secondary, it serves as a decent last-second swap weapon if you need to finish an opponent off in close range.
This guide will take you through the weapons stats and best attachments for the Marshal.
We will then suggest the top 2 best class setups to run. The Marshal is easy to use as long as you are up close and personal.
Weapon background
The Marshal originally appeared in Black Ops 3 as the single-shot double-barreled pistol, the Marshal 16. It was basically the same weapon. However, in BO3 is was not a break-action pistol.
Stats
- Damage: 150
- Rate of Fire: 171RPM
- Recoil: Low
We can see from the stats above that the Marshal is a one-shot to kill pistol. It can absolutely melt people from close range. TheRate of Fire is standard for a pistol. However, players can increase the rate of fire by using the Dual Wield attachment. The recoil pattern is low to very controllable as it’s a shotgun pistol.
Best Attachments
The best attachments for the Marshal in Cold War are the 5.6” Cut Down barrel, Dragons Breath, and Dual Wield. The 5.6” Cut Down barrel extends the effective damage range, Dragons Breath increases the damage and the Dual Wield gives you two of those ponies. There aren’t that many attachments for this weapon so these three are the best overall.
