Call of Duty Black Ops 6 Open Beta Week 1 just wrapped, and it was low-key fire. But guess what? We ain’t done yet! Open Beta Week 2 kicks off tomorrow, and the hype is real. So, let’s take a look at all the weapons in Call of Duty Black Ops 6 so far.
All Weapons in Call of Duty Black Ops 6 – Summarized
Here’s a list of all the weapons in Call of Duty Black Ops 6:
| Weapon Class | Primary Weapon | Takeaway |
| Assault Rifles | XM4 | Basic, reliable assault rifle, standard issue. |
| AK-74 | More powerful than the XM4 with higher recoil. | |
| AMES 85 | Fast-firing, low-recoil, and gets better with attachments. | |
| Pistols | GS45 | Solid sidearm, lethal with Akimbo. |
| 9mm PM | Benefits from fast movement mechanics, nimble and effective. | |
| Submachine Guns | C9 | Similar to MP5, decent fire rate, low recoil, good for close quarters. |
| Jackal PDW | Like an AK-74U, more powerful with added recoil. | |
| Tanto 22 | Slower fire rate but packs a punch, similar to the Milano from Cold War. | |
| Shotguns | Marine SP | Standard shotgun with potential for heavy damage when properly tuned. |
| Light Machine Guns | XMG | Heavy, low-recoil, lots of bullets, perfect for sustained fire. |
| Marksman Rifles | SWAT 556 | Burst-fire rifle with a smooth feel for burst enthusiasts. |
| DM10 | Traditional single-fire rifle, almost a sniper but not quite. | |
| Sniper Rifles | SVDS | Semi-auto sniper rifle, decent but not as iconic as a bolt-action. |
| LR 762 | Classic bolt-action sniper, high-damage, one-shot power. | |
| Melee | Combat Knife | Simple melee weapon with unlimited tactical sprint. |
| Launchers | Cigma 2B | Rocket launcher, powerful but little data available on performance. |
All Weapons in Call of Duty Black Ops 6
We got a sneak peek at some seriously sick weapons in multiplayer. The XM4? Classic, reliable, never disappoints. But if you’re feeling spicy, the AK-74 packs a punch with a side of recoil, obviously. Wanna go full auto? The AMY 885 is your best friend.
Pistols? We got ’em. The GS45 is a straight-up beast with Akimbo, and the 9mm PM is perfect for those quick flanks. SMGs are where it’s at for close-quarters chaos. The C9 is smooth like butter, while the Jackal PDW hits hard. Oh, and the Tanto 22? Don’t sleep on that one.
Shotguns, LMGs, snipers… they’re all here, each with its own vibe. The Marine SP is a classic boomstick, the XMG will melt faces, and the LR 762 is a one-shot headshot machine.
XM4
Starting off, we have the XM4, an assault rifle that feels about as standard as they come. It’s reliable, sure, but let’s be real: it doesn’t do anything groundbreaking. The XM4 is a solid pick, but nothing flashy—it’s like the vanilla ice cream of Black Ops weapons.
AK-74
Not to be confused with the AK-47, the AK-74 enters the fray with much more kick and damage than the XM4. It’s a step up in power but comes with higher recoil, so expect a bit more of a challenge controlling it.
AMES 85
One of the standout weapons in this build, the AMES 85 is a faster-firing assault rifle with manageable recoil even without attachments. Add some mods to this beauty, and you’ve got a real contender.
GS45
Our first pistol, the GS45, packs a decent punch, especially when paired with Akimbo. Pistols in this game are no joke, thanks to the new movement mechanics, and this one’s a prime example.
9mm PM
The 9mm PM shines with its ability to take full advantage of Black Ops 6’s quicker movement mechanics. Small but mighty, this pistol benefits from fast-paced gameplay and proves that speed kills.
C9
For the SMG lovers, the C9 is about as close to an MP5 as you’re going to get. It’s got a decent fire rate, low recoil, and is an all-around solid choice in close-quarters combat.
Jackal PDW
Next up is the Jackal PDW, basically an AK-74U on steroids. Bigger punch, a bit more recoil—it’s got that small AK feel but with a little more edge to it.
Tanto 22
The Tanto 22 might become a fan favorite, especially with its slower fire rate and harder punch. Think of it as the Milano from Cold War—slow but deadly.
Marine SP
The Marine SP is our go-to shotgun. Initially, it feels like your run-of-the-mill shotgun, but after a couple of kills, you might start wondering if this thing needs a tune-up or maybe just some attachments to maximize its potential.
XMG
Diving into the heavier category, the XMG is an LMG that makes its presence felt. It’s bulky, has minimal recoil, and holds a ton of rounds. You’ll definitely feel the weight of this one in your hands.
SWAT 556
For those who like burst rifles, the SWAT 556 is your weapon of choice. I’m usually not a burst-fire fan, but this one feels surprisingly smooth and effective.
DM 10
The DM 10 is your more traditional Marksman rifle—single fire, low recoil, and solid for those precision shots. It’s almost a sniper but not quite, striking a good balance.
SVD
Our first sniper rifle, the SVD, feels fine but lacks the punch you’d want from a true bolt-action sniper. It’s serviceable but might not be the sniper of choice for many.
LR 762
The LR 762, on the other hand, is that classic bolt-action sniper experience. This thing feels punchy and will send enemies flying—definitely one for the clip-worthy moments.
Combat Knife
For melee fans, the Combat Knife is straightforward and effective. Plus, with unlimited tactical sprint when using melee weapons, you’ll be zipping across the map in no time.
Cigma 2B
Unfortunately, I didn’t get enough time with the Cigma 2B to give a proper assessment, but it’s a rocket launcher, so you know it’s going to pack a punch when it’s allowed to shine.
