Just like any other Call of Duty game, Black Ops 6 features a diverse weapon list with a wide range of guns that you can unlock and level up, spanning several weapon types.

This list includes everything from assault rifles to SMGs to snipers and so much more. Additionally, new weapons are constantly being added, with Season 1 introducing the Krig C and Saug. This can make keeping track of all the game’s guns surprisingly difficult.

To help you out, we’ve listed all of BO6’s weapons, including their magazine size, fire mode, weapon model, and more. Here are the 34 weapons in Black Ops 6 and how to unlock each of them.

All Primary Weapons in Black Ops 6

Assault Rifles

XM4

Unlocked Immediately
Mag size: 30
Mags: 3
Fire mode: Full-auto

This gun is a workhorse assault rifle that is good at just about everything but doesn’t excel in any one particular area. It’s pretty easy to use and does its job as a standard all-rounder AR.

AK-74

Unlocked at Level 10
Mag size: 30
Mags: 3
Fire mode: Full-auto

It has a slow fire rate, low accuracy, and is hard to control, but its extremely high damage per bullet gives the AK-74 one of the best TTKs in Black Ops 6.

AMES 85

Unlocked at Level 19
Mag size: 30
Mags: 3
Fire mode: Full-auto

Trades out raw power for low recoil, with it being one of the most accurate weapons in the game. It may be better suited to Warzone than multiplayer, but the AMES 85 still holds its own in 6v6.

GPR 91

Unlocked at Level 28
Mag size: 30
Mags: 3
Fire mode: Full-auto

Based on the SA80, this is an infamous British assault rifle that offers unrivaled accuracy at the cost of damage, with the GPR 91 having the slowest TTK of any AR in BO6.

Model L

Unlocked at Level 40
Mag size: 30
Mags: 3
Fire mode: Full-auto

A slow-firing Assault Rifle with fairly high damage per shot. It is very accurate and easy to use, excelling on larger maps like Red Card and Vorkuta.

Goblin Mk2

Unlocked at Level 46
Mag size: 20
Mags: 4
Fire mode: Semi-auto

The Goblin Mk2 is a high-skill, high-reward weapon with the fastest TTK of any assault rifle, assuming you can hit shots and have a good enough trigger finger.

AS VAL

Unlocked at Level 55
Mag Size: 20
Mags: 5
Fire mode: Full-auto

This iconic variant of the Kalashnikov has a built-in silencer and high damage, which comes at the cost of decreased range and a smaller magazine.

Krig C

Unlocked in Season 1 Battle Pass (Page 6)
Mag Size: 30
Mags: 3
Fire mode: Full-auto

A high damage assault rifle that offers solid handling stats and a predictable recoil pattern that gradually ramps up if you don’t land those opening shots.

Submachine Guns

C9

Unlocked Immediately
Mag size: 30
Mags: 4
Fire mode: Full-auto

This is basically an MP5. This SMG is an extremely well-rounded weapon that dominates up close and remains reasonably effective at medium range.

KSV

Unlocked at Level 7
Mag size: 30
Mags: 4
Fire mode: Full-auto

The KSV performs similarly to the C9, albeit with a faster fire rate and lower damage. It is a relatively forgiving weapon that has low range and is clearly intended for CQB combat.

Tanto .22

Unlocked at Level 16
Mag size: 30
Mags: 4
Fire mode: Full-auto

The Tanto .22 is a slow-firing SMG that hits hard, able to kill in just three shots. It also has low recoil, allowing it to outrange the majority of other guns in its class.

PP-919

Unlocked at Level 37
Mag size: 64
Mags: 2
Fire mode: Full-auto

This is basically a PP-Bizon with that signature helical mag, which provides a huge magazine. The PP-919 also has low recoil but a slower TTK when compared to other SMGs.

Jackal PDW

Unlocked at Level 43
Mag size: 30
Mags: 4
Fire mode: Full-auto

The Jackal PDW dominated the Black Ops 6 beta as the best weapon in the game, and it remains a powerful option in the full release, with its low recoil and high damage making for a scary combination.

Kompakt 92

Unlocked at Level 49
Mag size: 30
Mags: 4
Fire mode: Full-auto

With it being the fastest-firing weapon in the game, The Kompact 92 is the signature bullet hose of Black Ops 6. It kills unbelievably fast up close but lacks the versatility to do just about anything else.

Saug

Unlocked in Season 1 Battle Pass (Page 3)
Mag size: 36
Mags: 4
Fire mode: Full-auto

A powerful submachine gun with a fast rate of fire and sensational mobility stats, making it the perfect option for players who enjoy rushing and playing fast.

Shotguns

Marine SP

Unlocked Immediately
Mag size: 6
Mags: 4 (24 Shells)
Fire mode: Pump-action

It’s your standard, pump-action shotgun that’s meant to get one-shot kills. There’s not much else to it, with this being an effective weapon that does exactly what you’d expect.

ASG-89

Unlocked at Level 31
Mag size: 6
Mags: 4
Fire mode: Semi-auto

This is a great choice if you’re not into the idea of waiting for a pump-action shotgun to rechamber each round, although its limited range makes the ASG-89 somewhat of a one-trick pony.

Light Machine Guns

PU-21

Unlocked Immediately
Mag size: 75
Mags: 3
Fire mode: Full-auto

The middle-of-the-pack LMG of Black Ops 6. It’s slower than an AR, but easier to handle than some of the game’s heavier weapons. It does what you’d think an LMG would do and is pretty good all things considered.

XMG

Unlocked at Level 13
Mag size: 100
Mags: 3
Fire mode: Full-auto

Despite having a slow rate of fire and mediocre handling, the XMG’s impressive accuracy and damage make it one of the most powerful weapons in Black Ops 6.

GPMG-7

Unlocked at Level 52
Mag size: 50
Mags: 3
Fire mode: Full-auto

It has an extremely high fire rate, high recoil, and a surprisingly small magazine, making this thing a loose cannon. If you’re trying to get a bunch of bullets downrange fast to suppress the other team, this is the gun for you.

Marksman Rifles

SWAT 5.56

Unlocked Immediately
Mag size: 30
Mags: 3
Fire mode: Three-round burst

The SWAT 5.56 is a classic three-round burst gun that has the potential to down enemies in just one burst but requires a high level of precision due to its slow burst delay.

Tsarkov 7.62

Unlocked at Level 22
Mag size: 20
Mags: 3
Fire mode: Semi-auto

The only marksman rifle capable of killing in a single shot to the head. The Tsarkov 7.62 is the ultimate precision weapon for players who are confident in their aim.

AEK-973

Unlocked at Level 34
Mag size: 30
Mags: 3
Fire mode: Three-round burst

Black Ops 6’s other three-round burst weapon that has less range than the SWAT 5.56 but a much shorter burst delay, making it more forgiving in situations where multiple shots are required.

DM-10

Unlocked at Level 43
Mag size: 20
Mags: 3
Fire mode: Semi-auto

An unusual weapon that has a scope by default, a fast fire rate, but fairly low range, limiting its potential as a long-distance weapon. The DM10 is certainly unique and a solid choice for players who want to balance precision and aggression.

Sniper Rifles

LW3A1 Frostline

Unlocked Immediately
Mag size: 5
Mags: 4
Fire mode: Bolt-action

The L96 is back, just with a different name. This is the first sniper rifle you’ll get your hands on, and it’s an absolute classic in the Black Ops series.

SVD

Unlocked at Level 25
Mag size: 10
Mags: 3
Fire mode: Semi-auto

The classic Dragunov returns, with this being one of the best versions of the iconic sniper rifle we’ve ever seen in Call of Duty. The SVD has good handling and can one shot in the upper torso, making it a surprisingly potent option.

LR 7.62

Unlocked at Level 49
Mag size: 5
Mags: 4
Fire mode: Bolt-action

A slow handling, clumsy sniper rifle that makes up for its obvious cons by dealing the highest damage of any gun in Black Ops 6.

All Secondary Weapons in Black Ops 6

Pistols

9mm PM

Unlocked Immediately
Mag size: 10
Mags: 3
Fire mode: Semi-auto

A standard, well-balanced pistol that doesn’t excel at much but won’t let you down and is ideal for finishing off weakened targets when needed.

Grekhova

Unlocked at Level 13
Mag size: 20
Mags: 3
Fire mode: Full-auto

The Grekova has a larger mag than the 9mm PM but much lower damage, with its rapid automatic fire making up for shorter range.

GS45

Unlocked at Level 28
Mag size: 10
Mags: 3
Fire mode: Semi-auto

The slow-firing, high-damage powerhouse of the pistol class. Take this if you’re confident you can land shots when they matter most.

Stryder .22

Unlocked at Level 40
Mag size: 30
Mags: 2
Fire mode: Semi-auto

Big mag, low damage. If you’ve got a fast trigger finger, give this gun a shot and take advantage of its best in class handling.

Launchers

CIGMA 2B

Unlocked Immediately
Mag size: 1
Mags: 2
Fire mode: Single-fire, lock-on optional

A certified scorestreak killer. You’ll want to keep this on one of your classes just in case someone on the other team gets a few too many kills for your liking.

HE-1

Unlocked at Level 19
Mag size: 1
Mags: 3
Fire mode: Single fire, no lock-on

Based on the Panzerfaust 3, this may not be an RPG, but it functions much the same. As always, this is the ideal weapon for when you need to deal with another player and want them to have an explosive time.

Melee Weapons

Knife

Unlocked Immediately

A one-hit kill, the knife is the perfect weapon to quickly get around the map. It won’t replace your secondary either, as melee weapons are in a separate slot in Black Ops 6.

Baseball Bat

Unlocked at Level 52

The Baseball Bat is slower than the knife and is a two-hit kill, but is light enough for quick swings and heavy enough to inflict serious, blunt trauma on victims.

That’s every weapon in Call of Duty Black Ops 6. There are bound to be more weapons added in the future, and we’ll update this list when those are added. In the meantime, you can check out all of the maps in the game, and how to get Twitch drop rewards.
