The Dominating AR Loadout: XM4 All-Rounder
The XM4 is absolutely cracked this season. It’s laser-accurate, melts at medium range, and doesn’t require a PhD in recoil control. Here’s your golden ticket:
Attachments: Reinforced Barrel, Specter Optic, Ergonomic Grip, Extended Magazine, and Fast Mag. This setup gives you the accuracy, magazine capacity, and reload speed needed for multiplayer domination. You’ll beam enemies from across the map while maintaining control.
The beauty of this loadout? It works everywhere. Shipment? Check. Nuketown? Double check. Warzone? Absolutely destroys.
The Run-and-Gun Master: Jackal PDW SMG
If you’re tired of getting out-gunned in close quarters, the Jackal PDW is your new best friend. This thing is an absolute shredder up close.
Attachments: Reinforced Barrel, Suppressor, Vertical Foregrip, Mushroom Grip, and SWAT 5.56 Mag. This loadout prioritizes mobility, handling, and TTK (time-to-kill). You’ll slide around corners and delete enemies before they can react. The suppressor keeps you off the radar while you’re flanking.
Pro tip: Pair this with Dead Silence for maximum sneaky-sneaky vibes.
One-Tapping From Across the Map: LW3A1 Frostline Sniper
For the precise players who live for those satisfying one-shot kills, the LW3A1 Frostline is unmatched. One bullet, one life.
Attachments: VMPR-7 Scope, Combat Padding, Serpent Wrap, and Lightweight Stock. This combo gives you quick scoping potential, flinch resistance, and lightning-fast ADS (aim-down-sights) speed. Mount up on high ground, and watch your opponents rage quit.
The Support Legend: GPMG7 LMG
Not everyone wants to sweat with assault rifles. Some players thrive when holding down positions, and the GPMG7 is the king of suppressive fire.
Attachments: Reinforced Barrel, Red Dot Sight, Vertical Foregrip, Extended Mag, and Adjustable Stock. This loadout turns you into a wall of bullets. Your teammates will love you for clearing lanes while they push objectives.
Tactical Rifle Finesse: SWAT 5.56 Marksman Setup
The SWAT 5.56 fills a perfect middle ground—not quite sniper, but devastating in skilled hands. It rewards accuracy with lightning-fast kills.
Attachments: Reinforced Barrel, Combat Optic, Ergonomic Grip, Extended Mag, and Steady Aim Laser. This is your weapon if you want one-shot potential with faster follow-up shots than a sniper. Perfect for skilled players who can land headshots.
Building Your Loadout: Key Principles
The meta isn’t just about gun stats—it’s about synergy. Balance accuracy, handling, and magazine capacity based on your playstyle. Don’t just copy these builds; adapt them to your preferences. If you hate the Specter Optic, swap it for something you’re comfortable with.
Perks matter too. Run Flak Jacket for explosives, Ghost for UAV detection, and Gung-Ho for that extra movement speed. Your perk setup can be the difference between victory and defeat.
How to Practice These Loadouts
Jump into Multiplayer first—higher TTK matches are forgiving while you’re learning recoil patterns. Once comfortable, transition to Warzone where one mistake costs your life. Check out official Call of Duty Season updates for patch notes affecting weapon balance.

FAQs
Q: Which loadout is best for beginners in Black Ops 6 Season 6?
A: The XM4 All-Rounder is your starting weapon. It’s forgiving, accurate, and versatile across all maps. The lower skill ceiling means you’ll see improvement faster than with difficult weapons like sniper rifles.
Q: Do these loadouts work in Warzone and Multiplayer equally?
A: Mostly yes, but Warzone requires slightly heavier builds due to armor plates and longer engagement distances. The XM4 dominates both, while the SMG shines in multiplayer close-quarters. Adapt magazine capacity for Warzone’s longer matches.
