Guide to the Best Weapons in Black Ops 6 Season 2

Cipher 091

The Cipher 091 is an assault rifle known for its impressive mobility and handling even without attachments, although it trades off a bit on fire rate. Despite this, thanks to its high damage potential and effective damage modifiers, its time-to-kill (TTK) remains competitive. To enhance its performance, players should consider using specific attachments.

Loadout Recommendation:

  • Optic: Otero Red Dot
  • Muzzle: Compensator
  • Barrel: Reinforced Barrel
  • Underbarrel: Launcher-Standard
  • Magazine: Extended Mag I

For those involved in Ranked or Multiplayer settings, this alternative setup is suggested:

  • Optic: Kepler Microflex
  • Muzzle: Compensator
  • Barrel: Reinforced Barrel
  • Underbarrel: Vertical Foregrip
  • Rear Grip: Ergonomic Grip

PPSh-41

Long feared for its sheer firepower, the PPSh-41 SMG is back in Black Ops 6 and has quickly dominated its category with high magazine capacity and rapid fire rate. Although it struggles with handling and accuracy, the appropriate attachments can address these shortcomings.

Suggested Loadout:

  • Optic: Kepler Microflex
  • Muzzle: Suppressor
  • Barrel: Long Barrel
  • Underbarrel: Vertical Foregrip
  • Magazine: Extended Mag II

If increased mobility is a priority, players might swap the optic for the Balanced Stock or the suppressor for a Muzzle Brake.

Stormbreaker

As the dominant shotgun in this season's meta, the Stormbreaker boasts great damage, range, and superior handling. Using attachments like the Full Choke can help control its bullet spread.

Optimal Loadout:

  • Laser: Steady Aim Laser
  • Muzzle: Full Choke
  • Stock: Balanced Stock
  • Rear Grip: Commando Grip
  • Magazine: Extended Mag II

XLR4

Continuing its reign from the previous season, the XLR4 remains a favorite among assault rifles. Its consistent performance across both seasons speaks to its reliability.

Recommended Attachments:

  • Optic: Redwell Reflex
  • Laser: Fast Motion Laser
  • Barrel: Short Barrel
  • Rear Grip: CQB Grip
  • Magazine: Extended Mag I

KSV

The KSV excels as a fully automatic SMG with a notably high fire rate. Its strong hip fire accuracy and reduced TTK make it a standout choice in Black Ops 6 Season 2.

Top Loadout:

  • Muzzle: Ported Compensator
  • Rear Grip: Ergonomic Grip
  • Barrel: Reinforced Barrel
  • Underbarrel: Vertical Foregrip

Each weapon in Black Ops 6 Season 2 offers unique advantages tailored to various play styles. These loadouts provide players with a competitive edge in both casual and ranked matches.
