Essex Marksman Rifle – First Impressions

Originally seen in Black Ops 4 as a Zombies-only weapon, the Essex is now fully usable in Multiplayer and Warzone for the first time—complete with attachments. Early gameplay shows it performs surprisingly well in MP and Warzone but lacks late-round power in Zombies unless pack-a-punched.

Players have already found workarounds to use it early by wishlist-purchasing bundles that feature the gun skin. No bans have been issued for this method (yet), but proceed at your own risk.

Fastest Way to Get High Table Coins (All Modes)

Multiplayer Strategy

    Play Strike or 10v10 on small maps for more kills and faster coin pickups.
    Use meta loadouts and stay aggressive—enemies drop coins that only you can pick up.
    Avoid large maps where travel time to each kill slows down collection.

 Zombies Strategy

    Load into a mid-to-high round save.
    Use traps, Wonder Weapons, or War Machine to mass-kill zombies for better drop chances.
    If drops slow down, save & quit then reload to bypass the soft-cap.

Warzone Strategy

    Drop into high-value zones in Rebirth or Verdansk.
    Use Supply UAVs (either purchased or via Battle Ready Wildcard) to locate legendary chests.
    Focus on looting orange chests—these have the best coin drop rate.
    Works in both Plunder and traditional BR modes.

Tip: Warzone remains the most reliable method, especially if you don’t own BO6 and are playing free-to-play.

Other Season 4 Updates

    New Mode: Mercenary Moshpit (Solo-only, like BO2’s version).
    Team Elimination Mode: A fusion of Control, Kill Confirmed & Cyber Attack.
    Patch Fixes: Blueprint UI bugs, rank play loadouts, Zombies fast travel, leaderboard stats, and GobbleGum challenges.
    No New Operators Yet: While we hoped for a John Wick skin or challenge track, only themed items (like charms and emotes) are live for now.

While the Ballerina Event isn't as challenge-focused as fans hoped, the addition of the Essex marksman rifle and a handful of unique cosmetics makes it worthwhile. Whether you’re a casual or a hardcore player, following the methods above will help you complete the event quickly and efficiently.
