LMGs are extremely powerful, as they can help you become a walking turret. The PU-21 is one of the first LMGs you’ll use in Black Ops 6, as it’s unlocked by default.

However, even though it is a starting weapon, you can still transform it into something lethal by using the right attachments.

If you’re using an LMG, you won’t be running around a lot. This is why improving the weapon’s mobility is kind of useless. Instead, what you really need to focus on is its accuracy and handling. 

Best PU-21 attachments in Black Ops 6

  • Muzzle: Suppressor 
  • Underbarrel: Precision Foregrip
  • Magazine: Fast Mag I
  • Rear Grip: Commando Grip
  • Fire Mod: Recoil Springs

Now, as mentioned above, you most likely won’t move around much with an LMG in your hands. This means you need something that can keep you hidden on the mini-map, and for this purpose, we’re using the Suppressor.

Then, we’ve decided to add the Precision Foregrip to improve the weapon’s accuracy. This attachment will make it easier for you to control the weapon by improving the aiming idle sway and horizontal recoil control.

LMGs offer a large magazine size by default, so you don’t have to worry about extending it. However, what they are poor at is reloading, which is extremely slow. To eliminate this problem, we’ve added the Fast Mag I, which will improve the reload speed.

You also want to make sure that you walk at a good speed while aiming the LMG, so you can quickly get into cover while firing. For this, we recommend using the Commando Grip, which will improve your character’s aim down sight and sprint to fire speed.

Finally, to further improve the horizontal and vertical recoil of the weapon, opt for the Recoil Springs fire mod.
