Best SMGs in Black Ops 6 – Meta submachine gun loadouts

In Black Ops 6, SMGs are your best bet for close-range dominance, and we’ve compiled the optimal meta loadouts for all your favorite choices.

There may not be the most extensive weapons lineup in this year’s Call of Duty, but every gun has its place. In close-quarters combat, SMGs reign supreme, while Assault Rifles are fantastic all-rounders.

When there are six options, it might be challenging to determine which ones are the strongest. We’ve got you covered with the SMGs in Black Ops 6, which are the finest.

Best Black Ops 6 SMG loadouts

1. Jackal PDW

Muzzle: Suppressor
Barrel: Long Barrel
Underbarrel: Vertical Foregrip
Rear Grip: Quickdraw Grip
Magazine: Extended Mag 1

Among the several SMGs in Black Ops 6, the Jackal PDW stood out during the beta and has not lost its brilliance. There may be competitors in this class with more range, but the Jackal’s unmatched power puts it in a league of its own.

The Long Barrel and Vertical Foregrip are useful attachments that can improve its performance and mitigate its recoil, allowing you to use it more effectively at medium range. After that, you may get those initial shots in with the help of the Quickdraw Grip, which greatly increases the ADS speed.

Since the Jackal, like other SMGs, quickly depletes its ammo supply, you’ll want to equip Extended Mag 1 to guarantee you can take down several enemies before needing to reload.

2. Tanto .22

Muzzle: Suppressor
Underbarrel: Vertical Foregrip
Magazine: Extended Mag 1
Rear Grip: Ergonomic Grip
Fire Mods: Rapid Fire

The Tanto.22 is very different from the PDW; it has a slow fire rate but does significantly more damage with each shot. If you want the feel of an SMG but would rather stay competitive on bigger maps, this is the weapon for you because it is ideal for use at medium range.

Its TTK is already lower than most other Black Ops 6 weapons, but with the Rapid Fire mod, it becomes lightning-quick. We opted for the Vertical Foregrip to mitigate the considerable recoil that comes with this additional value.

3. C9

Muzzle: Ported Compensator
Barrel: Reinforced Barrel
Underbarrel: Ranger Foregrip
Rear Grip: Ergonomic Grip
Stock: No Stock

The C9 is a stunning complement to Omnimovement, the game’s shining star in Black Ops 6. Whether you’re just starting out at Level 1 or are prepared to Prestige at Level 55, this SMG is an excellent choice because of its superb mobility.

The top-tier C9 build prioritizes mobility, with the Ergonomic Grip being the most crucial attachment. When used with the No Stock option, this will make you virtually invisible as it enhances the ADS, slide-to-fire, and dive-to-fire speeds.

4. KSV

Optic: Kepler Microflex
Muzzle: Ported Compensator
Barrel: Reinforced Barrel
Underbarrel: Vertical Foregrip
Rear Grip: CQB Grip

The KSV is a significant step below the top three if we’re being really honest. Its clumsy recoil makes it less controllable than other similar guns, and its slow bullet velocity makes it impractical for use at medium range.

But its high rate of fire makes it an intimidating weapon in close-quarters combat, and the Reinforced Barrel can only improve its speed. To further boost the KSV’s efficiency, the Vertical Foregrip and Ported Compensator may significantly lessen the recoil.

5. Kompact 92

Muzzle: Ported Compensator
Barrel: Long Barrel
Underbarrel: Precision Foregrip
Rear Grip: Quickdraw Grip
Magazine: Extended Mag 1

Despite having the greatest firing rate of any SMG in Black Ops 6, the Kompact 92 isn’t highly practical compared to other choices in its class. Its TTK is among the game’s quickest up to a point, but it features a steep drop-off beyond that.

Still, if you’re good at controlling it, it’s a sight to behold on maps like Babylon and Payback. Because of this, you need to rely on the Precision Foregrip, the Ported Compensator, and the Long Barrel to increase your range.

Meta analysis

Even though Black Ops 6’s SMG meta is still evolving, the Jackal PDW has shown to be the top early-game weapon. It may have taken a minor hit after dominating the beta, but its close-range TTK is unaffected, making it just as lethal as ever.

Although, if you’re looking for a gun with a higher damage-per-shot ratio, the Tanto .22 isn’t far behind, and the C9 is an excellent example of Omnimovement. In addition, you’ll have access to these two weapons far sooner than the Jackal, thus they’ll likely be more common in the early stages.

Naturally, the meta will be kept fresh with new weapons and plenty of buffs and nerfs with each release. While this may be the current situation, it is subject to change in the next months.
