The Tanto .22 stands out as a strong SMG in Call of Duty: Black Ops 6, delivering impressive damage, though its fire rate leaves something to be desired. However, with the right loadout, this weapon truly shines.
The Tanto .22 stands out among SMGs by defying the typical fast-firing, agile design. Instead, it emphasizes damage-per-shot, making it a unique contender in its class. Even in the face of fierce competition within the meta, this weapon has proven to be a deadly choice in Black Ops 6.
The sheer damage output positions this weapon among the best guns available, particularly when paired with the optimal attachments to boost its fire rate.
Best Black Ops 6 Tanto .22 loadout

CharlieIntelThe ultimate Tanto .22 loadout amps up its fire rate with the Rapid Fire mod, transforming this already lethal SMG into a rapid-fire powerhouse that wipes out enemies in record time.
Nonetheless, it does have some drawbacks, which is why the additional attachments are designed to address those issues. The Vertical Foregrip significantly reduces horizontal recoil, enhancing your accuracy against targets at a distance.
With a quicker fire rate, you’ll deplete your ammo in no time, making the Extended Mag 1 an essential upgrade to keep you engaged in the action for longer stretches. The Ergonomic Grip enhances mobility, ensuring it stays competitive with the other fast-paced SMGs on the battlefield. The Suppressor stands out as a top-tier option, ensuring you remain off the minimap when firing.
