The DMR AEK-973 is a strong choice for multiplayer in Call of Duty: Black Ops 6. We’ll show you 2 builds with which you can play the meta rifle.
There are currently 33 different weapons in CoD Black Ops 6, from assault rifles to sniper rifles. Although the first meta of BO6 is currently particularly dominated by submachine guns, the AEK-973 is also popular with players.
What kind of weapon is that? You unlock the DMR “AEK-973” at player level 34 in Black Ops 6. From then on you can equip the weapon in multiplayer, in zombie mode and also in Warzone (as soon as the mode is playable) via your armory.
The 3-shot burst rifle is a strong choice at medium and long ranges. It has good stability and a solid rate of fire, which is further increased with certain attachments. If your aim is right, you can consistently eliminate your opponents with a single burst.
Below we will show you two strong builds with which you can play the DMR in multiplayer.

What makes the setup strong? The most important attachment for the AEK is the “Rapid Fire” fire mod, as it allows you to fire the 3-shot volleys more quickly in succession. Missed shots are then less serious because you immediately have a second attempt.
The long barrel also gives you a large damage range and the robust combat stock improves your movement speed and flinch resistance. The quick-draw grip greatly improves your aiming speed, while the vertical foregrip increases recoil control. Magazine Expansion I increases the capacity of the rifle from 30 to 45 rounds.
If you prefer to access another wildcard, we recommend equipping the following 5 attachments from the loadout:
