The SWAT 5.56 is undoubtedly the top choice for a marksman rifle in the Black Ops 6 beta, and when paired with the appropriate loadout, it can be a dominant force.
Since its launch on August 30, the Black Ops 6 beta has seen the rise of the Jackal PDW SMG as the top gun, with the XM4 being named the best all-round AR. Nevertheless, the SWAT 5.56 has now emerged as a formidable option for marksmen.
The SWAT 5.56 is a powerful three-round burst rifle that, when constructed properly, excels in short to medium range combat in BO6 due to its fast time-to-kill and manageable recoil.
Discover the perfect SWAT 5.56 loadout for the Black Ops 6 beta, complete with optimal attachments, perks, and equipment to enhance your setup.
Best Black Ops SWAT 5.56 Loadout
The Redwell Reflex Optic is the best to use with the SWAT 5.56 marksman rifle.
- Muzzle: Compensator or Suppressor
- Underbarrel: Vertical Foregrip
- Rear Grip: Quickdraw Grip
- Fire Mods: Rapid Fire
- Note: Rapid Fire is worth it for the lower TTK, but can take a while to unlock. If you are yet to unlock this, the Light Stock can be equipped to increase hipfire and strafing movement speed.
- Optic: Redwell Reflex
Even though it is a marksman rifle, the most effective way to construct it is by using a traditional run-and-gun loadout to excel in both close-range and medium-range battles.
Muzzle selection ultimately depends on individual preference and gameplay style. Opt for the Compensator if you are comfortable with drawing attention while moving around the map, as it provides improved vertical recoil control. Alternatively, use the Suppressor to remain undetected on enemy minimaps and maintain a stealthy approach.
The Redwell Reflex Optic provides a satisfactory view for better long-range shooting, without being too much of a sniper scope, allowing it to remain effective in close-quarters combat. Nevertheless, there is often much debate surrounding Optics in CoD, so it is best to experiment and find the one that suits your preferences.
Despite choosing the Rapid Fire mod to increase the fire rate and the Quickdraw Grip to improve your ADS time, the Vertical Foregrip provides additional recoil control. Adding the Compensator Muzzle to your loadout will further enhance your performance.
SWAT 5.56 Loadout Perks, Equipment, and Combat Specialty
The perfect combination of the Enforcer Class Specialty and the SWAT 5.56 allows for effortless domination over opponents. Its ability to temporarily increase movement speed and health regeneration enables smooth runs and successful kills.
To acquire these advantages, it is necessary to possess the specified Perks and activate the Perk Greed Wildcard in order to achieve the optimal combination of Perks and Equipment.
Do anything you can to get that Enforcer Class Specialty. You’ll need 3 red perks to get there.
- Perk 1: Flak Jacket/Ghost
- Perk 2: Dexterity
- Perk 3: Double Time
- Perk 4: Gung-Ho
- Lethal: Semtex
- Tactical: Stim Shot
- Field Upgrade: Assault Pack/Trophy System
- Secondary: 9mm PM
If you choose to equip the Suppressor on your burst rifle, it would be wise to opt for Ghost in your Perk 1 slot in order to remain undetected by enemy radars while maneuvering around the map. On the other hand, selecting Flak Jacket will ensure your safety from enemy explosives as you take them out from a distance.
Choosing Dexterity for your next Perk slot is a must, as it minimizes your movement while jumping, sliding, and diving around the map, and also reduces fall damage. Additionally, Double Time extends the duration of your Tactical Sprint and Gung-Ho enables you to reload while using it.
The lack of ammo in the SWAT 5.56 rifle’s magazine makes it crucial to have the 9mm PM pistol as a backup. This precise Secondary weapon enables you to swiftly switch between close and medium range combat to eliminate your foes.
Unlocking the XM4 in the Black Ops 6 beta
The SWAT 5.56 marksman rifle can be unlocked at level 0 and will be immediately accessible upon starting the Black Ops 6 beta. It is uncertain if this will also apply when the full version of Black Ops 6 is released on October 25.
We have also included loadout recommendations for the two top weapons in the game: the Jackal PDW SMG and the XM4 AR.
