Call Of Duty: Black Ops 6 Best Weapon Loadouts

Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 launches with 33 new weapons to unlock and level up, but not all weapons are created equal. Here we'll recommend some of the best weapon builds for BO6 multiplayer, and some of them can be used even at lower player levels.
The standard minimap returns, so this is another year of suppressors being important for staying off the minimap while firing your weapon.
One of the standout attachments in the game is the Ergonomic Grip. This is a great attachment to consider on your builds, especially if you're looking to make the most of Black Ops 6's omnimovement. This attachment reduces your aim-down-sight speed, and it also greatly reduces your slide-to-fire speed, which is very useful for staying ready for those gunfights while sliding all around the map.
Black Ops 6 features mostly small and medium-sized maps, so there is a lot of close-range action in this year's multiplayer. Thankfully, the game also features a strong selection of submachine guns for these fights. Below you'll find a few submachine guns you'll want to level up and try, among other weapon classes.
For more on Black Ops 6, you can find lists of all weapons and attachments available at launch here.
We also have a guide for unlocking all of Black Ops 6's Mastery camos. Here we recommend some settings to use, including best controller layouts, audio settings, and more.
If you're on console, we have a recommended settings guide for getting the most out of Black Ops 6 on PlayStation or Xbox consoles.

The XM4 is a versatile and easy-to-use assault rifle. This is one of the first weapons you have access to in the game. The recommended attachments for the weapon will boost the ammo count, provide recoil control, and keep you off the minimap when firing.

Stock: Combat Stock
Rear Grip: Ergonomic Grip
Magazine: Extended Mag I
Underbarrel: Vertical Foregrip

AMES 85

The Ames 85 is another solid assault rifle choice that you don't have to be a high level to unlock. The recommended attachments will boost your ammo count, provide recoil control, and help keep you off the minimap when firing.
