++++++

NB. If you're going for Gold and or Diamond camo on your weapons, one of the trickiest is getting Flora where you have to kill enemies that are disabled by Stun or Flash grenades or detected by Spy Planes or Fleld Mics.
Us the Field Mic field upgrade for this, coupled with the Gearhead perk, it makes it much easier than waiting to get a Spy plane and flash & stun 'nades are unreliable.

Also, There is a new Secondary weapon - R1 ShadowHunter Crossbow - under Specials.
To unlock:
Using a weapon with no attachments get 3 one shot - 1 kill medals in 15 different matches.

Lastly, you can use Double XP tokens from Warzone in Cold War:
Start Warzone, go into a game lobby - any will do - activate as many tokens as you want, up to the time you're going to play e.g. 1 hour + 2x 15 min will give you a total of 90 mins double xp.
Then, exit the game lobby, exit Warzone, start Cold War and the time remaining will be available.
