With the full release of Black Ops 6, we see some new additions across various categories that weren’t shown in the beta. Assault Rifles and SMGs received the most content, including the latest GPR 91, Kompakt 92, and Model L.

On the other hand, the number of weapons in Shotguns, LMGs, and Sniper Rifles is relatively small. They’ll likely expand when a new season drops, especially once Warzone integrates into BO6 during Season 1. We should get two or more weapons by then, as this is usually the standard for new Call of Duty updates.

Some available guns for launch will require significant playtime due to their higher-level requirements. You can level up your player rank quickly by utilizing XP Tokens, which typically last 15 minutes to an hour. Since Black Ops 6 just released, there may also be a boosted XP event to take advantage of. Additionally, Zombies mode offers more ways to increase your levels. Therefore, you can try to last as long as possible in this round-based mode to farm more XP.

To get a sneak peek of each weapon in Black Ops 6, we’ll break them down individually:

Fortunately, automatically unlocked weapons are already good on their own, including the XM4 Assault Rifle and Cigma 2B Launcher. You’ll still need to level up each respective weapon to obtain attachments, boosting their performance further. Players may also notice a new third slot option for Melee weapons, differing from past Call of Duty iterations. Check out our guide on how to use it to learn more about the Black Ops 6’s Dedicated Melee feature.
