Tactical Rifles are a weapon type featured in Call of Duty: Black Ops 4 and Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War. In the vein of the Marksman Rifles category from other titles, Tactical Rifles are rifles defined by the use of a semi-automatic or burst fire mode combined with mid to long range effectiveness. They often include a built-in scope for precision aiming.
In Call of Duty: Black Ops 4, Tactical Rifles function as mid to long-range rifles, with generally slower handling than most Assault Rifles. Barring the M16 and Essex Model 07, each Tactical Rifle has their own Operator Mod. Most of the Tactical Rifles can be equipped with a Reflex Sight for a more aggressive playstyle.
In Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War, Tactical Rifles return and act similar to their previous iteration. All of the Tactical Rifles are either semi-auto or burst fire, but instead focusing less on built-in optics when compared to Black Ops 4.
