The Pellington is a Bolt-action sniper rifle in Black Ops Cold War. It is described as a 1 shot kill to the head or chest. It has the fastest handling speeds among the sniper rifles. However, it also has the lowest ammo capacity in terms of reserve ammo.
The Pellington only holds 5 rounds in a magazine and 15 in reserve. We should seek to correct this with attachments. Check out the attachments section for the best attachments to use on the Pellington.
The remainder of the guide will go in-depth with the Pellington and discuss the stats as well as suggest the best class setups to run.
