Black Ops 6 Season 1 went live yesterday, and it has given the game a fresh feel by adding new content, including an SMG called Saug.

This SMG is fast, powerful, and a solid choice for close-quarter combat. However, it can be difficult to control, but the right attachments can fix this.

The following loadout will help improve the recoil of the Saug SMG. On top of that, we’ll also focus on improving its damage range.

Best Saug attachments in Black Ops 6

  • Muzzle: Ported Compensator
  • Barrel: Reinforced Barrel
  • Underbarrel: Vertical Foregrip
  • Rear Grip: Ergonomic Grip 
  • Stock: Balanced Stock
  • Fire Mods: Recoil Springs  

For the Muzzle, we’ve decided to use the Ported Compensator, as this will help make the weapon accurate and easy to use by improving the first-shot recoil control and vertical recoil control.

Next up, we have the Reinforced Barrel. This can help extend the damage range and bullet velocity, allowing you to eliminate targets that are a bit far away for an SMG. We’re pairing this with the Vertical Foregrip to improve the horizontal recoil control.

For the Rear Grip, you’d want to opt for the Ergonomic Grip, which will make you quick on the field by improving your slide to fire, dive to five, and aim down sight speed. 

To further improve mobility, we recommend choosing the Balanced Stock. This will significantly improve your character’s aim walking movement speed, hipfire movement speed, strafing movement speed, and overall movement speed. 

If you want to increase the weapon’s accuracy further, you can throw in the Recoil Springs Fire Mod. This has a great effect on the horizontal and vertical recoil control of the SMG.

For the optics, choose whichever best suits your playstyle. However, since it’s an SMG, we recommend going with something like Kepler Microflex, Dobrych MF Reflex, or Merlin Mini.
