Mastering Call of Duty Black Ops 6: Top 6 Guns to Dominate in Season 2

The Best Guns in Black Ops 6: A Ranked List for Season 2

The best guns in Black Ops 6 are, well, the best, topping the lists due to their exceptional power, consistency, and reliability. In Season 2, new additions like the Cypher 091, PPSh-41, and Feng 82 entered the fray, but do any of them make our list of the top guns? Spoiler alert: yes, they do.

We Tested Them All

To find the best loadouts and top-performing guns, we put each and every one of them through their paces, identifying the must-haves from every primary weapon category. If you’ve played a Call of Duty game before, some of these will feel familiar – and that’s because, as usual, many of these guns are identical to their predecessors, with just a different name.

The Saug: A Mini Uzi on Steroids

The Saug, added along with the Krig C in Season 1, is an SMG that will annihilate enemies up close, but its damage range falls off quickly, making it effective only at close range. Our best Saug loadout recommends using the Akimbo Saug attachment, allowing you to dual-wield two of them at once. With the right attachments, you’ll be hip-firing your way to victories.

Other Notable Mentions

The AMES 85, AK-74, and C9 are also worthy of recognition, if not top-10 status. The MP5-inspired SMG is a force to be reckoned with, and it’s worth trying out once you’ve exhausted the Jackal PDW.
