In the new Call Of Duty: Black Ops 6, there are 33 different weapons available, allowing you to adapt your play style to different scenarios and conditions. However, for those who care more about weapon potential rather than the weapon itself, this article will be useful, as we've prepared a weapon tier list for multiplayer in Call Of Duty: Black Ops 6.
Weapon Tier List in Call Of Duty: Black Ops 6
S-Tier
KSV
Type: SMG
A versatile weapon, KSV offers good accuracy and control within its effective range. Although it may not match C9 in long-range power, it remains a reliable choice in most situations.
- Pros: Very fast TTK + High mobility
- Cons: Slower TTK beyond 10m
XM4
Type: AR
XM4 is likely the first weapon players encounter, and it stands out as one of the best choices in the game. Its balanced stats and manageable recoil make it a versatile option that reliably works on any map. Although it's not specialized in any particular area, it is balanced enough not to require additional stability attachments.
- Pros: Fast TTK + Low recoil + High bullet velocity
- Cons: -
AEK-973
Type: MARSMAN
Similar to Tsarkov, the AEK-973 is notable for its ease of use and consistent performance. While it lacks the ability to kill with one headshot, it can take down enemies with a quick burst at any range if all three bullets hit the target. Its manageability means players often achieve this.
- Pros: One-burst kill + Very forgiving
- Cons: Burst fire mode
MODEL L
Type: AR
The Model L builds on the strengths of the AMES-85 by adding more power, allowing for four-shot kills at longer distances. It requires a bit more control, but this trade-off is worth the extra range and impact.
- Pros: Low recoil + Good mobility
- Cons: TTK not the best
AS VAL
Type: AR
Unlocked only at level 55, the AS VAL features a small 20-round magazine but competes with the best due to its integrated suppressor and high reliability. Despite its late availability, it is a formidable addition to any weapon set.
- Pros: Very fast TTK + High mobility
- Cons: High recoil
JACKAL PDW
Type: SMG
The Jackal PDW was a powerhouse during beta testing, and while it has been balanced, it still packs a punch. Its firepower has been reduced, but in experienced hands, it remains a formidable weapon.
- Pros: Good TTK + High mobility + Great max damage range
- Cons: Not the best TTK
C9
Type: SMG
The C9 is a standard SMG and one of the few weapons in Black Ops 6 capable of four-shot kills. While its slow rate of fire balances its power, it compensates with high mobility and lethal stopping power, remaining among the top-rated choices.
- Pros: Excellent TTK + Good damage range + High mobility
- Cons: -
PP-919
Type: SMG
The PP-919 addresses one of the main issues of SMGs—limited ammo count—by offering a standard drum magazine with 64 bullets. This allows players to engage in prolonged firefights without frequent reloading, making it a strong choice for extended skirmishes.
- Pros: Great max damage + Range + Good mobility
- Cons: Slow TTK
AK-74
Type: AR
The AK-74 features a slightly slower rate of fire and slightly more recoil than some other weapons, but it can be managed. Keep it at close range to your target, and it effectively takes down enemies with four shots.
- Pros: Good TTK + High bullet velocity
- Cons: Slow ADS speed + Slow mobility
TANTO .22
Type: SMG
One of the few weapons capable of three-shot kills in Black Ops 6, the Tanto .22 sacrifices some power for a higher rate of fire. This means any missed shot can significantly slow down the TTK.
- Pros: Great max damage range + Fast ADS speed
- Cons: Not the best TTK
A-Tier
Marine SP
Type: SHOTGUN
The Marine SP is the more powerful of the two shotguns available in Black Ops 6, thanks to its reliable one-shot kill potential. It may feel cumbersome to use, but this power is always at your disposal when needed.
AMES 85
Type: AR
For a reliable option among the automatic rifles in Black Ops 6, the AMES-85 fits the bill. While it's not the most powerful weapon, it compensates with stability, especially when you need to make accurate shots at any distance.
SVD
Type: SNIPER
The SVD takes the deadly potential of Tsarkov to a new level thanks to its long-range accuracy. A single shot to the torso or head is enough to kill, making it a powerful choice for players who prefer distant engagements but still want a chance at close ranges with its semi-automatic firing mode.
LR 7.62
Type: SNIPER
The only competitor among sniper rifles, the LR-7.62 excels in one-shot torso kills at significant distances. It's a formidable choice for players who prefer long-range shots with devastating power.
KOMPAKT 92
Type: SMG
Unlike the Tanto .22, the Kompakt 92 boasts the highest rate of fire but has lower base damage. Keep it for close-quarters combat, where its quick shots can be decisive in rapid encounters.
GPR 91
Type: AR
The GPR 91 is a reliable automatic rifle, though its low damage and slow rate of fire make it hard to compete with similar options, such as the AMES-85. It can perform its duties in similar situations but is generally outperformed by others.
XMG
Type: LMG
This XMG rivals the XM4 for the top spot among LMGs due to familiar handling. Equipped with a 100-round magazine, it offers sustained firepower similar to the M4, making it tough to beat.
PU-21
Type: LMG
With consistent performance, the PU-21 is a solid choice among LMGs for holding defensive positions. Its medium rate of fire makes it capable in close combat, but it lacks the power to be the most effective in its class.
GOBLIN MK 2
Type: AR
The Goblin MK2 struggles to compare with weapons like the DM-10, Tsarkov 7.62, and SVD. It’s a single-shot weapon requiring three hits to kill. It is reasonably reliable but not exceptional.
LW3A1 FROSTLINE
Type: SNIPER
The LW3A1 Frostline ranks in the B-tier mainly because it lacks the one-shot kill ability of the LR-7.62. It bears similarity to the SVD but lacks the level of lethality.
ASG-89
Type: SHOTGUN
The ASG trades range for fully automatic capabilities, making it highly effective at close quarters (which is common in Black Ops 6). At this optimal distance, it’s a powerful choice, though beyond it, other options often outperform it.
B-Tier
DM-10
Type: MARKSMAN
While the DM-10 isn't as deadly as the Tsarkov 7.62, it holds a stable position with its two-shot kill capability and formidable range. Its manageability makes it effective for those who value control with reliable damage.
SWAT 5.56
Type: MARKSMAN
The SWAT 5.56 lacks the one-shot lethality of the AEK and stable accuracy of the DM-10 or Tsarkov. It has lower damage, slow handling, and generally falls short in critical stats.
TSARKOV 7.62
Type: MARKSMAN
This weapon stands out with two main features: it can kill with one headshot and maintains excellent accuracy. It is a serious threat at close range, as a headshot usually means a quick end for opponents, even when they’re using other SMGs or rifles.
GPMG-7
Type: LMG
The GPMG-7 boasts the fastest rate of fire among LMGs, though it sacrifices some effectiveness due to increased reload time. It may slow down your movements due to its weight, making it less favorable for players valuing speed.
9mm PM
Type: PISTOL
The 9mm PM is a decent starting pistol. It doesn't have any particular drawbacks; it provides decent damage, average reload speed, and average magazine size. While there are better options, it is quite acceptable for initial use.
GREKHOVA
Type: PISTOL
As the only fully automatic secondary weapon, the Grekhova could have a significant advantage, though its low damage and long reload time limit its effectiveness and keep it from standing out among other sidearms.
GS45
Type: PISTOL
The GS45, the first pistol on the list, performs well within its ideal range, achieving a two-shot kill to the torso. This versatility places it above most other pistols, making it a reliable choice for a secondary weapon.
STRYDER .22
Type: PISTOL
Besides the GS45, the Stryder .22 is likely the best pistol choice. It offers improved damage, a larger magazine, and strong overall stats, making it a versatile option.
KNIFE
Type: MELEE
The Knife stands out as the only melee weapon capable of a one-hit kill, although its limited range is an evident drawback. It's a fun weapon for quick encounters, especially in Face Off, but it requires more strategy on most maps.
BASEBALL BAT
Type: MELEE
The Baseball Bat ranks lower as a melee option because it requires two hits to kill, has a slower swing, and a lengthy kill animation, making it less effective than the knife in every important aspect.
C-Tier
Cigma 2B
Type: SHOTGUN
The Cigma 2B could be a better choice if there wasn't an effective Flak Jacket in the game. With just one shot per reload, a long reload time, and a limit of four rockets per life, it often feels cumbersome and slow.
HE-1
Type: SHOTGUN
The HE-1 offers fewer rockets, lower control quality, and overall worse stats compared to the Cigma 2B. However, it finds a place in the C-tier thanks to its unique ability to target aerial threats, which Cigma cannot do.
