We’re here to show you how to create the best Jackal PDW loadout in Black Ops 6, empowering you to dominate the battlefield.

What is the best build for the Jackal PDW in Black Ops 6?

To create the best build for the Jackal PDW in Black Ops 6, equip these attachments:

  • Muzzle: Compensator
  • Barrel: Long Barrel
  • Stock: Balanced Stock
  • Magazine: Extended Mag II
  • Rear Grip: Ergonomic Grip
  • With Gunfighter Wildcard active:
    • Underbarrel: Precision Foregrip
    • Fire Mods: Recoil Springs
    • Optic: Remuda Mini Reflex

The Jackal PDW’s mechanics have been revamped for the official BO6 launch, differing from its playstyle in the beta. However, it still holds up as an incredible mobile weapon, allowing you to move around the map freely.

Since SMGs are relatively compact in ammo capacity, equip the Extended Mag II to compensate for it. You’ll get 50 bullets out of it without sacrificing too much mobility. Then, you can start upping the Jackal PDW’s Firepower with the Long Barrel, increasing its Damage Range in return.

Attach the Compensator Muzzle for better accuracy rates, which also assists with Vertical Recoil Control. All that’s left is to boost the Jackal PDW’s speed with the Balanced Stock and Ergonomic Grip. The grip is a must-have since it increases speed across the board, including Aim Walking, Movement, and Hipfire. It’ll make mobility much more manageable, perfect for small to medium-sized maps. Even more so, the Ergonomic Grip enhances its Handling stats to help you get a better grip on your weapon.

If you have the Gunfighter Wildcard active, you can equip three more attachments to make the Jackal PDW almost unstoppable. To improve the gun’s recoil control further, use the Precision Foregrip and Recoil Springs. You could also go with the Rapid Fire if you want to revamp its fire rate. Although the Jackal PDW doesn’t necessarily need an Optic, you can still use one for better aiming. The Remuda Mini Reflex is an excellent fit for this, as it can be unlocked pretty early.

Combining these attachments produces one of the best Jackal PDW builds in Black Ops 6. Alternatively, you can attach the Dexterity Perk to it to reduce motion while jumping, sliding, and diving. Together, they’ll make you a mobility master, getting you one step closer to reaching the Prestige levels.
