Best XMG loadout in Black Ops 6

In Call of Duty: Black Ops 6, the XMG stands out as a formidable LMG, boasting an impressive TTK and minimal recoil that allows players to shred through enemies with ease. We’ve crafted the ultimate XMG loadout, featuring the best attachments and perks.

The XMG, much like other LMGs, shines at range and is best utilized more deliberately and tactically. Don’t expect to dash across the map with this weapon, as the combination of sluggish ADS speed and limited mobility hampers your chances in tight encounters.

While you might be tempted to overlook the XMG, it remains one of the top-tier weapons in Black Ops 6. With the right attachments and perks, it can truly wreak havoc on your opponents.

Best BO6 XMG loadout

Muzzle: Suppressor
Underbarrel: Ranger Foregrip
Magazine: Fast Mag 1
Rear Grip: Commando Grip
Fire Mod: Rapid Fire

To start, we’ve chosen the traditional Suppressor muzzle. This is a requirement for weapons when you want to post up and play a head glitch, as it prevents you from appearing on the minimap when you fire them. Next, we chose the Ranger Foregrip underbarrel, which improves accuracy and movement.

Fast Mag 1 reduces your mag size from 100 to 75, however, the ammo loss is offset by increased reload quickness, ADS speed, and Sprint-to-Fire speed, which are all boosted by Commando Rear Grip.

Finally, the Rapid Fire mod increases your firing rate, allowing you to shoot more bullets and kill your enemies faster.

Best Perks, Equipment & Combat Specialty for XMG loadout

Wildcard: Perk Greed
Perk 1: Assassin
Perk 2: Gung-Ho
Perk 3: Double Time
Perk 4: Flak Jacket
Specialty: Enforcer
Lethal: Frag
Tactical: Stim Shot
Field Upgrade: Trophy System

Enforcer stands out as the ultimate Combat Speciality in Black Ops 6, offering players a significant boost to movement speed and health regeneration with each kill they secure. The movement buffs shine when paired with the XMG, effectively compensating for its lackluster mobility stats.

Perk Greed stands out as an exceptional wildcard, granting players the opportunity to equip an additional perk without any cost. Utilizing this additional slot for the Flak Jacket is a smart move, as it significantly mitigates explosive and fire damage, enhancing your chances of survival in intense situations.

For your additional perks, we suggest opting for Assassin, Gung-Ho, and Double Time, which will grant you access to the Enforcer specialty. Assassin highlights enemies on a killstreak, making them easier targets for players, while Gung-Ho eliminates movement penalties during reloading, allowing for seamless action.

Double Time extends your Tactical Sprint duration, while Enforcer provides a brief boost to health regeneration and movement speed upon taking down an enemy.

The Frag Grenade stands out as a timeless and reliable choice in the lethal category, allowing players to time their explosions perfectly for maximum impact. In high-stakes scenarios, the Stim Shot proves invaluable, allowing players to swiftly regain health.

Finally, the Trophy System shines by allowing players to secure an area by obliterating incoming enemy projectiles, making it an ideal choice for objective-based modes such as Hardpoint.

XMG pros and cons

Where is the XMG in the BO6 meta?

The XMG may not quite crack the upper ranks of Black Ops 6’s meta, yet it remains a formidable choice and arguably the finest LMG available in the game at this moment.

Currently sitting at a 1.98% pick rate according to WZStats.gg, this weapon trails significantly behind the KSV SMG, which dominates the scene with an impressive 7.94% pick rate, making it the go-to choice for players. When it comes to long-range weaponry, it falls short as well, with the AS VAL taking the lead at 7.5%.

How to unlock XMG in Black Ops 6

You’ll unlock the XMG at Level 13. You’ll need to invest some time in gameplay before you can access it, but the good news is that you won’t have to reach the highest levels to start using it.

Best alternatives to the XMG

If the XMG isn’t quite hitting the mark for your LMG needs, consider giving the PU-21 a shot. It offers comparable recoil and TTK, making it a solid alternative.

If LMGs aren’t your style and you’re craving some extra mobility, the AS VAL is definitely a solid choice. Additionally, the AK-74 and XM4 stand out as excellent Assault Rifles that can meet your demands.
