CoD Black Ops 6: 10 Best Weapons, Ranked

There is a wide variety of different weapons in Black Ops 6, from Submachine Guns to Sniper Rifles. Here are the best weapons in Black Ops 6, ranked!

Although LMGs aren’t known for their mobility or speed, they make up for it with high damage and low recoil, making them ideal for players who prefer a more tactical and methodical approach. That’s why pairing them with a well-optimized class setup is essential for getting the most out of this weapon category and maximizing its effectiveness in the game. With that in mind, here are the best loadouts for each LMG available in Black Ops 6.

GPMG-7

Easy To Master But Falls Short On Damage

• Optic: Kepler Microflex
• Underbarrel: Vertical Foregrip
• Rear Grip: Quickdraw Grip
• Magazine: Extended Mag I
• Stock: Light Stock

Due to its extremely high fire rate and low damage, the GPMG-7 is one of the less popular LMGs in Black Ops 6. Its blistering fire rate demands a larger magazine, limiting attachment choices that could otherwise boost its damage output and improve its performance at mid-to-long ranges.

Meanwhile, its low base damage puts it at a disadvantage compared to many weapons in other categories, making it less effective in most engagements. While it may hold up against players who prefer to stay back and avoid direct confrontations, it will likely struggle against surprise attacks or fast-moving enemies, leaving users with limited defensive options.

XMG

Practical Choice But Lacks A Standout Feature

• Barrel: Gain-Twist Barrel
• Underbarrel: Vertical Foregrip
• Magazine: Fast Mag I
• Rear Grip: Commando Grip
• Stock: Light Stock

The XMG is a viable but not highly competitive LMG option in multiplayer, primarily due to its balanced stats, which prevent it from standing out against ARs or SMGs. While it boasts high bullet velocity and a competitive fire rate, its long reload time, 75-round magazine, and slow ADS speed hold it back compared to other choices – though it remains more effective than some alternatives.

PU-21

Competitive Damage Output Combined With Large Ammo Capacity

• Barrel: Gain-Twist Barrel
• Underbarrel: Vertical Foregrip
• Magazine: Belt-Fed
• Rear Grip: Quickdraw Grip
• Stock: Light Stock

The PU-21 stands out on the battlefield thanks to several key strengths, most notably its Belt-Fed magazine, which holds an impressive 500 rounds. However, a drawback is its tendency to overheat with sustained fire.

That said, in the fast-paced nature of multiplayer, this rarely becomes an issue. Additionally, its high damage output paired with a continuous ammo supply makes it a deadly choice. When combined with its extremely low recoil, the PU-21 excels at eliminating enemies from long distances with ease while keeping exposure to a minimum. This loadout is designed to provide ample ammunition to prevent running out mid-fight while also enhancing bullet velocity and sprint-to-fire speed, ensuring players are always ready for combat.

Feng 82

Challenging Fire Rate But Exceptional Damage Output

• Barrel: Reinforced Barrel
• Magazine: Extended Mag I
• Rear Grip: Quickdraw Grip
• Stock: Balanced Stock
• Fire Mods: 5.56 NATO Overpressured

Designed as a hybrid between an AR and a Battle Rifle, the Feng 82 functions as an LMG that delivers high damage, excellent mobility, and a fast reload time, balanced by its 50-round magazine. While it has the slowest fire rate in its category, its high damage output (especially on headshots) and low recoil make it one of the best LMG options in Black Ops 6 once mastered.
