Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 has only been playable for a short time, but the first meta of the shooter is already emerging. We’ll show you which weapons are currently particularly popular.
What kind of overview is this? We took a look at which weapons in Black Ops 6 are currently being played a lot and are performing well. We then created an overview of the current meta weapons.
The overview is as of October 26th, around 3:00 p.m. However, the meta is not yet solidified so early after the release and things can change quickly.
BO6 Meta – These 10 weapons are particularly popular right now
These are the meta weapons: The meta is currently particularly dominated by submachine guns, as they are ideal for playing on small maps with fast movement. Additionally, some assault rifles like the XM4 are very popular as they represent a good compromise for short to medium range engagements.
These are the 10 most played weapons:
Sniper rifles, DMRs and LMGs are currently having a slightly more difficult time. Things are particularly bad for shotguns – with the “Marine SP” being the only exception. In the top 10 weapons there are 5 submachine guns, 4 assault rifles and a DMR.

The 3 best submachine guns in BO6
KSV
What makes the weapon so powerful? Thanks to its high rate of fire, the KSV is characterized by a very good time-to-kill at short distances and also has high mobility. On top of that, it has easily controllable recoil and is only at a disadvantage at longer distances.
Jackal PDW
What makes the weapon so powerful? The Jackal PDW has a solid time-to-kill and high mobility. However, its biggest peculiarity is that it doesn’t do as much damage at maximum distance as other submachine guns.
C9
What makes the weapon so powerful? The C9 has a high rate of fire and a good time-to-kill. It is particularly suitable for short to medium distance fights and is considered a good choice for almost every map.
The 3 best assault rifles in BO6
AS Val
What makes the weapon so powerful? The AS VAL is somewhat different from other assault rifles in that it has a noticeably faster time-to-kill thanks to a high rate of fire and can target quickly. The assault rifle is therefore particularly suitable for short to medium distances.
AK-74
What makes the weapon so powerful? With the AK-74 you choose a weapon that is primarily characterized by its high damage. Although you are not as mobile with the assault rifle as with other weapons and you also have to do without a high rate of fire, but if you don’t move around much anyway or prefer a weapon with high firepower, this is your choice.
XM4
What makes the weapon so powerful? The XM4 is considered an all-rounder on the battlefield and is a good choice if you want to play a fully automatic weapon at medium to long ranges. The assault rifle has well-controlled recoil, deals fairly high damage, and has a solid rate of fire.
