To many players' surprise, the Model L is standing out as one of the top-ranked weapons in Black Ops 6. It is a full-auto assault rifle that definitely packs quite a punch. Although it has a slower rate of fire than other weapons from its class, its high damage and low recoil definitely make up for it.

We believe that these qualities make the Model L one of the best weapons in Black Ops 6's current meta.

Recommended Model L loadout in Black Ops 6:

• Fire Mods: Recoil Springs
• Optic: Accu-Spot Reflex
• Muzzle: Compensator
• Underbarrel: Vertical Foregrip
• Rear Grip: Commando Grip

The MP5 makes a comeback in Black Ops 6 as the C9. It is a versatile weapon pick, and with its wide customizability, it offers players the option to tune it according to their playstyles. It excels in close-range combat, however, with the right attachments, it can even fare quite well in mid-range gunfights.

According to us, you should opt for a high-mobility build while adding components that improve its recoil control and effective range. That said, here's our preferred C9 build for the game:

Recommended C9 loadout in Black Ops 6:

• Fire Mods: Recoil Springs

Similar to the C9, opting for a high-mobility build with this weapon will allow you to wreak havoc in close-quarter combat. Pair it with items such as the long barrel for improved range, and you've got one of the best weapons in Black Ops 6 in your hands.
