If you are looking for the best weapon loadouts that improve your performance in the different multiplayer game modes in Black Ops 6 and allow you to win most 1v1 or other battles, our Black Ops 6 meta loadouts guide will be handy.

Following in the footsteps of previous Call of Duty games, Black Ops 6 features a wide range of weapon classes and a full-fledged loadout system, where players can create custom loadouts suitable for certain playstyles and roles.

While loadouts are meant to vary from player to player, some of the loadouts are just too perfect and become the meta loadout that most players use to get the upper hand in gun fights.

In this guide, we will share the best Black Ops 6 meta loadouts we have so far.

The Jackal PDW is the meta weapon for players looking for high mobility, less TTK (time to kill), quick battle recovery, and run-and-gun gameplay.

While some players have fallen in love with the Tanto .22 for its high damage numbers, the Jackal PDW remains the meta SMG for us and many other players.

The AMES 85 is a masterpiece of a weapon and one of the best, if not the best, AR class weapons in the entire game, thanks to its versatility as a weapon that shreds enemies in all ranges.

Even with no attachments, the AMES 85’s recoil is non-existent, and it also offers very high firepower, range, bullet velocity, accuracy, and handling.
