The Jackal PDW is a speed demon you can use if you are into run and gun playstyle, and engaging enemies up close.

This submachine gun offers decent damage with very high mobility and handling.

With the right attachments, you can further improve its accuracy and firepower stats, making it an excellent choice for even mid-range combat.

What makes the Jackal PDW SMG one of the best meta weapons is that you can utilize the Enforcer Combat Specialty to boost movement speed and heal faster upon getting a kill, which is much easier with this weapon.

AMES 85

While the Jackal PDW SMG is best for close quarters combat, the Ames 85 is a beast of a weapon with high damage and accuracy that you can use across all ranges.

Even with no attachments and a mediocre overall loadout, Ames 85’s recoil is almost non-existent and easy to control while having significant damage, range, bullet velocity, accuracy, and handling.

Marine SP

The number of times I have died to the Marine SP made me use this shotgun. It’s the best pick if you are looking for a generous weapon to get you kills in one or two shots close to mid-range.

While the weapon’s kickback and a few other things are a lot to handle, the damage and ease of use make up for it.

Also, a pro tip: make sure to use the Steady Aim Laser with Rapid Fire, Ranger Foregrip, and Combat Stock for maximum mobility and effective use.

SWAT 5.56

If you are looking for the best mid-range weapon to hold specific choke points or objectives while ensuring you take out your opponents in a few hits with precision, the SWAT 5.56 DMR is the right pick for you.

LR 7.62

Bolt-action sniper rifles have always dominated Call of Duty games, and the latest installment, Black Ops 6, is no exception, as the LR 7.62 delivers.

It is a high-power bolt action sniper rifle that can one-shot enemies no matter where you hit. The minimal recoil and high damage make it one of the meta snipers in the game.

With the right attachments, you can improve its shortcomings like handling and mobility if you are more into performing quick scopes rather than holding positions.
