The LR 7.62 is a powerful bolt-action sniper rifle capable of eliminating targets with a single shot. This is the reason why its difficult to obtain, as you’ll need to reach player level 49 to unlock it.

Despite its high damage, it has relatively low recoil. In other words, controlling it isn’t a big challenge. However, you’ll still need to use attachments like Fast Mag II, Quick Draw grip, and Combat Stock to improve its handling and reload speed. 

Best guns in Black Ops 6: Marine SP (Shotgun)

The Marine SP is a starter weapon in Black Ops 6, unlocked by default, so you won’t need to reach a certain player level to obtain it.

However, even though it is an early weapon, it still packs a punch when it comes to performance. Capable of one-shotting your enemies in close range, the Marine SP can prove to be a deadly weapon when in the right hands.

While it can be tricky to control at first, attachments like the Reinforced Barrel and Muzzle Brake can help improve its recoil.

Best guns in Black Ops 6: XMG (LMG)

XMG is an LMG that you’ll unlock after reaching level 13, and once it’s in your hands, you’ll feel like a walking turret.

The weapon can prove to be useful when dealing with a group of enemies. It offers three magazines, each with a capacity of 100 bullets. The only downside of this LMG is its slow fire rate, but this is what you’d already expect from an LMG.

Overall, if you’re looking for a weapon that can help you defend an area with ease, then you’d want to opt for the XMG.
