Does anyone really need more advertisements for Call of Duty: Black Ops at this point? If you are a fan of the game, odds are you are already planning to hit your local store at midnight or shortly thereafter. But Activision does not just want a big release, it wants the biggest release of the year. So enter the newest commercial for Black Ops, which features a few familiar faces.

Possibly in an attempt to get more fans in the Boston area to purchase the title, Kobe Bryant is featured playing the game, as is Jimmy Kimmel. As are several little girls carrying shotguns, which is probably not the best timing, what with the case against violent videos games affecting youths being in the Supreme Court right now and all.

But head on out and grab your copy of Call of Duty: Black Ops tonight at midnight for your chance to shoot a digital Kobe!

Each weapon has a laundry list of attachments that can be unlocked by earning Weapon XP, but if you're a new player or someone who just wants to make progress quickly, it can be tough to level up your guns — especially if you only own Warzone.

Character with LAPA from Call of Duty: Warzone.

The latest weapon added to Call of Duty: Warzone is the LAPA, an SMG that was initially included as part of the game's Halloween 2021 event.

Here, we'll dive into the three best LAPA loadouts for various playstyles, from close range to all-around. These are the best LAPA builds in Warzone.
