Best loadout for Nuketown in Black Ops 6

Nuketown, a fan-favorite map reintroduced in Black Ops 6 on November 1, 2024, is ideal for close to medium-range encounters. It offers several spots for strategic play, including elevated areas inside buildings where players can engage through windows. As a result, the best loadout for this map leans towards assault rifles, with the Model L currently standing out as the top choice.

However, recent weapon adjustments have nerfed some assault rifles and buffed SMGs, so those seeking a more aggressive playstyle might consider using them.

That said, this article will guide you through the best Model L loadout for dominating Nuketown in Black Ops 6.

Best Model L AR loadout in Black Ops 6 Nuketown

The Model L is a highly controllable weapon with a slow firing rate but impressive damage output, making it one of the best medium-range options in the game. With the right loadout, its recoil becomes almost negligible.

Nuketown’s elevated spots, narrow alleys, and other unique features make a medium-range weapon ideal for amassing kills. While it may not suit an aggressive playstyle, it certainly supports a strategic approach.

Recommended loadout

• Muzzle: Suppressor
• Barrel: Long Barrel
• Underbarrel: Ranger Foregrip
• Rear Grip: Ergonomic Grip
• Stock: Combat Stock
• Fire Modes: Recoil Springs
• Magazine: Extended Mag I
• Optic: Kepler Microflex

The Suppressor keeps you hidden from enemy radar when firing, while the Long Barrel improves the weapon’s effective range for more damage at a distance.

The Ranger Foregrip boosts mobility by increasing sprint speed and enhances stability by reducing horizontal recoil.

The Combat Stock is a lightweight attachment that provides enhanced aiming movement and flinch resistance.

The Recoil Springs fire mod absorbs shock when firing, reducing both horizontal and vertical recoil for a more controllable setup.

The Extended Mag I increases your ammo count to 40 rounds, reducing the need for frequent reloads. Finally, the Kepler Microflex optic offers a clear view, making aiming more comfortable.
