Call of Duty Black Ops 6 is set to launch soon, introducing players to a fresh arsenal of weapons to explore and navigate. With the release date approaching, the comprehensive weapon list has now been revealed.
The list features detailed information such as the standard magazine capacities, firing modes, and a glimpse at the weapon designs. It remains uncertain whether the standout guns from the beta phase will transition to the full version of Black Ops 6 (we’re looking at you, Jackal), but there’s an array of thrilling new weapons ready for deployment at launch.
Additionally, while some classic models may bear different names from previous Call of Duty installments, fans may find nostalgic favorites making a comeback in surprising forms.
Below is the expansive list of weapons available in Black Ops 6, detailing how to unlock each and their functionalities.
Complete Primary Weapons List in Black Ops 6
Assault Rifles
XM4
- Available by default
- Base magazine capacity: 30
- Available magazines: 3
- Firing mode: Fully automatic
The XM4 was a reliable choice during the beta, serving as a decent starting weapon. Its user-friendly design makes it an excellent general-purpose assault rifle.
AK-74
- Unlocked at Level 10
- Base magazine capacity: 30
- Available magazines: 3
- Firing mode: Fully automatic
Expect a slow firing rate, reduced accuracy, challenging recoil, but with significant damage per shot—just as you’d anticipate from an AK. It’s advisable to manage that recoil effectively when wielding this firearm.
AMES 85
- Unlocked at Level 19
- Base magazine capacity: 30
- Available magazines: 3
- Firing mode: Fully automatic
This weapon favors reduced recoil over sheer power. Although it did not stand out much during the beta, its performance may change with the full release of Black Ops 6. Utilizing suitable attachments can enhance its efficiency.
GPR 91
- Unlocked at Level 28
- Base magazine capacity: 30
- Available magazines: 3
- Firing mode: Fully automatic
The GPR 91 operates like an L86, featuring a fully automatic bullpup design. However, its effectiveness remains uncertain as it was not a part of the beta test.
Model L
- Unlocked at Level 40
- Base magazine capacity: 30
- Available magazines: 3
- Firing mode: Fully automatic
This assault rifle has a methodical firing rate coupled with high damage output. Since it wasn’t featured in the beta, its effectiveness in comparison to the AK-47 remains to be seen.
Goblin Mk. 2
- Unlocked at Level 46
- Base magazine capacity: 20
- Available magazines: 4
- Firing mode: Semi-automatic
The effectiveness of the Goblin Mk. 2 hinges on its required number of shots for a kill. If it retains a two-hit chest kill mechanism similar to a standard DMR, its performance could be quite formidable in Black Ops 6.
AS VAL
- Unlocked at Level 55
- Base magazine capacity: 20
- Available magazines: 5
- Firing mode: Fully automatic
A notable variant of the AK, this weapon comes equipped with a built-in suppressor. It’s advisable to prioritize acquiring an extended magazine for enhanced firepower.
Submachine Guns
C9
- Available by default
- Base magazine capacity: 30
- Available magazines: 4
- Firing mode: Fully automatic
Essentially an MP5, the C9 exhibited strong performance during the beta but didn’t emerge as the top weapon in its category. It serves as an adequate starter firearm that can be significantly upgraded with effective attachments.
KSV
- Unlocked at Level 7
- Base magazine capacity: 30
- Available magazines: 4
- Firing mode: Fully automatic
The KSV was absent during the beta phase, making its performance in-game hard to evaluate. However, it’s anticipated to excel in close-quarter confrontations.
So much. 22
- Unlocked at Level 16
- Base magazine capacity: 30
- Available magazines: 4
- Firing mode: Fully automatic
Marketed as a slow-firing SMG with significant damage, it’s expected to require approximately three shots for a kill. Its effectiveness at range will determine its viability against other SMGs.
PP-919
- Unlocked at Level 37
- Base magazine capacity: 64
- Available magazines: 2
- Firing mode: Fully automatic
Geared towards being an enhanced version of the PP-Bizon, its helical magazine alleviates concerns about needing an extended magazine.
Jackal PDW
- Unlocked at Level 43
- Base magazine capacity: 30
- Available magazines: 4
- Firing mode: Fully automatic
The Jackal was a dominant force during the Beta, recognized easily as the top weapon of the game. Players are hopeful for changes in its competitive standing with the full game’s release.
Check out our loadout guide for the optimal Jackal PDW configuration as we head towards the complete rollout of Black Ops 6.
Compact 92
- Unlocked at Level 49
- Base magazine capacity: 30
- Available magazines: 4
- Firing mode: Fully automatic
Dubbed as the fastest-firing weapon in its category, this gun is anticipated to become the quintessential rapid-firing SMG of Black Ops 6. An extended magazine will likely be essential for maximizing its potential.
Shotguns
Marine SP
- Available by default
- Base magazine capacity: 6
- Available magazines: 4 (24 Shells)
- Firing mode: Pump-action
This classic pump-action shotgun is designed for one-shot takedowns. Its beta performance seemed average, with limited range, but the game’s longer time-to-kill provided some leeway for mistakes.
With suitable loadouts, you can enhance that one-shot range considerably.
ASG-89
- Unlocked at Level 31
- Base magazine capacity: 6
- Available magazines: 4
- Firing mode: Semi-automatic
This shotgun type provides the benefit of not having to pump after each shot, although it likely features a significantly reduced one-shot kill range.
Light Machine Guns
PU-21
- Available by default
- Base magazine capacity: 75
- Available magazines: 3
- Firing mode: Fully automatic
The PU-21 serves as a balanced LMG option within Black Ops 6. While slower than an assault rifle, it provides more manageable recoil than the heftier LMGs, fulfilling the typical LMG role.
XMG
- Unlocked at Level 13
- Base magazine capacity: 100
- Available magazines: 3
- Firing mode: Fully automatic
With a slower fire rate and an enormous magazine, the XMG proved to be a formidable presence during the beta, echoing the experience of BO4’s Hades.
Alternatively, players can opt for a more refined loadout focused on consistency, offering a somewhat less exciting but likely more reliable experience.
GPMG-7
- Unlocked at Level 52
- Base magazine capacity: 50
- Available magazines: 3
- Firing mode: Fully automatic
The GPMG-7 delivers rapid fire with elevated recoil, making it somewhat unpredictable. If you’re looking to unleash a torrent of bullets quickly, this weapon fits the bill.
Marksman Rifles
Swat 5.56
- Available by default
- Base magazine capacity: 30
- Available magazines: 3
- Firing mode: Three-round burst
As the premier three-round burst rifle in Black Ops 6’s beta, the Swat 5.56 delivers expected performance. Although it’s unlikely to achieve a one-burst kill, its quick burst delay allows for follow-up shots, making it a reasonable choice.
Tsarkov 7.62
- Unlocked at Level 22
- Base magazine capacity: 20
- Available magazines: 3
- Firing mode: Semi-automatic
This weapon reportedly sacrifices power for improved handling, leaving the effectiveness of its two-shot kills in question.
AEK-973
- Unlocked at Level 34
- Base magazine capacity: 30
- Available magazines: 3
- Firing mode: Three-round burst
This is another addition to the three-round burst category, but further details on its unique features compared to the Swat are still pending.
DM-10
- Unlocked at Level 43
- Base magazine capacity: 20
- Available magazines: 3
- Firing mode: Semi-automatic
This weapon is equipped with a default scope and is aimed at longer engagements. However, several attachments may be necessary to maintain consistent two-shot kill ranges beyond close distances.
Sniper Rifles
LW3A1 Frostline
- Available by default
- Base magazine capacity: 5
- Available magazines: 4
- Firing mode: Bolt-action
The L96 returns under a new name! This classic sniper rifle is the first one players will engage with, remaining a nostalgic icon in the Black Ops franchise.
SVD
- Unlocked at Level 25
- Base magazine capacity: 10
- Available magazines: 3
- Firing mode: Semi-automatic
True to the Dragunov design, expect classic one-shot headshots with this rifle. While it may pose challenges for those aiming for camo completion, it will definitely perform best with proper setup.
LR 7.62
- Unlocked at Level 49
- Base magazine capacity: 5
- Available magazines: 4
- Firing mode: Bolt-action
A slower firing and higher damage alternative to the L96 (or LW3A1), guaranteeing one-shot kills slightly below chest level. Be aware that shots aimed below the waist could result in hit markers.
Using the right attachments, quickscoping with the LR 7.62 will become second nature in no time.
Complete Secondary Weapons List in Black Ops 6
Pistols
9mm PM
- Available by default
- Base magazine capacity: 10
- Available magazines: 3
- Firing mode: Semi-automatic
The 9mm PM fulfills its function adequately, though its limited magazine size typically precludes taking out more than two enemies before a reload is necessary.
Grekhova
- Unlocked at Level 13
- Base magazine capacity: 20
- Available magazines: 3
- Firing mode: Semi-automatic
Featuring a larger magazine than the 9mm PM, the Grekhova delivers lower damage, making it a less effective choice in most circumstances.
GS45

- Available magazines: 3
- Firing mode: Semi-automatic
A powerful yet slow-firing pistol, the GS45 is perfect for players confident in their marksmanship.
Warrior. 22
- Unlocked at Level 40
- Base magazine capacity: 30
- Available magazines: 2
- Firing mode: Semi-automatic
This pistol boasts a large magazine but lower damage potential. If you have quick reflexes, the Stryder could be a solid choice.
Launchers
CIGMA 2B
- Available by default
- Magazine capacity: 1
- Available magazines: 2
- Firing mode: Single-fire, lock-on optional
This launcher is designed for taking out scorestreaks. It’s advisable to include it in your class setup to counter players racking up too many consecutive eliminations.
HE-1
- Unlocked at Level 19
- Magazine capacity: 1
- Available magazines: 3
- Firing mode: Single fire, no lock-on
This trusty launcher is ideal for causing frustration among opponents who fall victim to its explosive payload.
Melee Weapons
Note: In Call of Duty: Black Ops 6, melee weapons do not occupy a secondary slot; instead, they utilize their own dedicated slot, with unique key bindings for access.
Knife
- Unlocked by default
Baseball Bat
- Unlocked at Level 52
This wraps up the complete list of weapons available at the launch of Call of Duty Black Ops 6. Be on the lookout for additional weapons to be introduced down the line, and we will keep this list updated with future additions.
