Here's some big common & rare salvage drop rate testing to find out what's the best flashlight attachment for Black Ops Cold War Zombies (that is, if they're even different). It also seemed like a good time to explain salvage, since they just made some changes to how it's awarded in Season 1, adding a milestone bonus and reducing world drop rate.
I was able to find some salvage testing when I searched for it, but I was interested in looking into it anyway with some different methods, and I did end up with some different results. Hopefully this helps with knowing what the mounted flashlight, tiger team spotlight, and ember sighting point are really doing for you to build the best starting weapon. It's a minor thing, but it seemed like a fun test.
