For those who’re in search of the greatest Black Ops 6 weapon loadouts, you are in luck. The most recent Call of Duty instalment has a staggering 33 weapons to select from proper now, and much more coming post-launch. From assault rifles and SMGs, to snipers and marksman rifles, you’re spoiled for selection.

If you begin out in multiplayer, you’ll be very restricted with what you will have at your disposal. However, the default assault rifle utilizing the XM4 loadout is a remarkably sturdy beginning weapon that’s headlining the meta proper now. Use this to grind out some ranges and you’ll quickly have entry to the remainder of the arsenal. With that in thoughts, listed below are seven of the perfect Black Ops 6 loadouts within the present meta.

Finest Black Ops 6 weapon loadouts 

The most effective weapons within the present Black Ops 6 meta are:

• XM4 (assault rifle)
• AK-74 (assault rifle)
• Tanto .22 (SMG)
• C9 (SMG)
• Mannequin L (assault rifle)
• AS Val (assault rifle)

The most effective XM4 loadout

The XM4 really is a jack-of-all-trades weapon in multiplayer, delivering first rate harm and fireplace price with excellent recoil management, making for an assault rifle that’s lethal but straightforward to make use of. Don’t overlook the XM4 just because it’s the primary assault rifle, because it’s arguably the perfect weapon in multiplayer—and that’s saying one thing because it’s bought stiff competitors.

To make the XM4 even higher, I like to recommend utilizing the Gunfighter wildcard to provide you a whopping eight attachments to mess around with.

The most effective AK-74 loadout

What the AK-74 lacks in recoil management, it greater than makes up for in uncooked stopping energy, beating out the XM4 with a 274ms time-to-kill in comparison with the 296ms worth of its rival. Nevertheless, the AK-74 gained’t really feel as nice because the XM4 to begin out with, due to its comparatively poor dealing with. That is simply remedied although—get some kills and degree it up so you should use the next construct, once more making use of the Gunfighter wildcard.

The most effective Tanto .22 loadout

Boasting stunning vary, accuracy, and a slower price of fireplace, the Tanto may simply be confused for an assault rifle when in comparison with its fellow SMGs, and it’s all the higher for it. Whereas its sluggish RPM calls for precision, particularly in shut vary, the Tanto is remarkably highly effective in shut and mid ranges. Because of very clear iron sights, I choose to skip an optic in favour of extra stat-boosting attachments.

Given Gunfighter is somewhat pointless right here, Perk Greed is a superb selection for the Wildcard, providing you with one further perk from any class. Ghost, Ninja, and Tac Masks are all sturdy choices relying in your playstyle.

The most effective C9 loadout

(*6*)

With excessive harm, controllable recoil, and a good fireplace price, the C9 is the quintessential SMG. Just like the XM4 it’s the default, although it’s undeniably one of, if not the perfect of the bunch because of its reliability and versatility. The one challenge is its odd recoil sample with early horizontal pull, although that is simply remedied by attachments.

Because the C9 has sturdy base stats, the Gunfighter wildcard can be utilized to go all-in on this SMG’s versatile nature—which shall be much more useful should you’re choosing the Fast Fireplace mod. Though it seems like overkill, you gained’t be complaining when you will have a extremely cellular, high-damage laser beam in your palms.

The most effective Mannequin L loadout

Whereas the XM4 and AK-74 are spectacular assault rifles you unlock very early on, don’t overlook the Mannequin L unlocked at degree 40. It does extra harm than the XM4 and is simply as controllable, although it does have a slower price of fireplace which rewards precision, notably up shut. 

The Fast Fireplace mod helps the Mannequin L when issues get messy—simply be ready to counter the recoil it creates. For those who’re fighting the kick, go for Recoil Springs as an alternative.

The most effective AS Val loadout

(Picture credit score: Activision)

Coming suppressed by default and boasting a staggering 896 RPM, the AS Val is a bit of an oddball assault rifle. It’s the right center floor between an assault rifle and an SMG nevertheless, and is ready to eviscerate enemies up shut and private whereas additionally having good vary and critically spectacular recoil management.

Annoyingly, the AS Val is unlocked at degree 55, making it the ultimate unlock. Much more irritating is the truth that you’ll lose the AS Val should you status—except you select it as your everlasting unlock.

The most effective ASG-89 loadout

(Picture credit score: Activision)

With the bulk of the Black Ops 6 maps being small with tight interiors, you should not rule out a shotgun as a viable choice. That is the place the ASG-89 is available in, a semi-automatic shotgun that’s good for blasting by contested areas. Now, don’t get me flawed, the ASG-89 is, admittedly, very situational. However when the time calls, it definitely delivers. 

As with most shotguns in Call of Duty historical past although, you’ll must slog by the early weapon ranges earlier than the ASG-89 begins to shine. One other factor to remember is that you will have to decide on between the Modified Choke or Full Choke, and the Goal Laser or Regular Intention Laser, designed for ADS and hip-fire respectively, relying on the way you play.
