Upon reaching Level 4, Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 players will gain the ability to create their own custom loadouts. Most of the weapons and perks aren’t unavailable to begin with, although players can quickly learn how they’re unlocked just by highlighting them. However, this isn’t the case with one part of the loadout, leading many players to wonder how to unlock Wildcards in Black Ops 6.

What’s the Best Wildcard in Black Ops 6?
The best Wildcard in Black Ops 6 will vary from player to player, not only when it comes to their preferred playstyle and loadout but also the game types they spend most of their time playing. Danger Close and Tactical Expert can be incredibly useful in Domination and Hardpoint or on smaller maps where it’s easy to predict where the enemy team is going to be. However, Gunfighter and Perk Greed will be the best Black Ops 6 Wildcards for most players in most situations. Overkill can be useful too if players want both a short and long-range option or the ability to instantly switch to a weapon with a full magazine.
