Black Ops 6 features a wide array of weapons, so time-to-kill is helpful in separating the contenders from the pretenders and figuring out what guns you should be using.
As the name suggests, time-to-kill in Call of Duty refers to the time it takes for a weapon to eliminate an enemy. Since most Black Ops 6 maps are small and favor aggressive playstyles, even the smallest margins can change the outcome of a gunfight.
Weapons with slow TTK speeds will struggle to compete with the game’s top meta options, so you’ll want to avoid them. With that in mind, here is a look at the hardest-hitting weapons as of Season 2.
What AR has the fastest TTK in BO6?
The Goblin Mk2 has the fastest TTK of any assault rifle at 260 ms. However, this is a semi-auto weapon that requires you to have a competent trigger finger, so you may prefer using the AS VAL instead, which is the fastest killing full-auto assault rifle at 268 ms.
