The XMG is a light machine gun (LMG) in the Black Ops 6, and having the best loadout for this weapon will provide a significant advantage in battles. This new title features fast-paced gameplay with the introduction of a new movement mechanic called omnimovement, which makes the gameplay unique and favors close-range weapons. Although LMGs are typically used for medium to long-range engagements, the XMG can also be highly effective in close-quarters combat.

Customizing the XMG with the best loadout is crucial to maximize its performance and dominate in Black Ops 6.

Here are the best XMG LMG loadout attachments in Call of Duty Black Ops 6:

Recommended build:

Barrel: Short Barrel
Stock: Balanced Stock
Underbarrel: Ranger Foregrip
Rear Grip: CQB Grip
Magazine: Fast Mag II

The XMG LMG by default has quite a decent range in the game. Being the fast-paced shooter that BO6 is, we believe that tuning it for close-mid-range combat would be ideal. Naturally, the Short Barrel is our first choice of attachment. This item will provide you with improved mobility stats and enhanced accuracy with this weapon.

Due to the inherent low mobility of LMGs, we believe that the Balanced Stock and the Ranger Foregrip are essential upgrades for this weapon. The movement boosts that you will secure with these additions will definitely come in handy during combat.

Finally, the CQB Grip and Fast Mag II are both valuable for enhancing handling attributes. These attachments increase ADS speed, sprint-to-fire speed, and reload quickness in the game.

Best Perks and Wildcards for XMG in Black Ops 6

Here are the best class setup items:

Best Perks and Wildcard to use (Image via Activision)

Perk 1: Assasin
Perk 2: Gung-Ho
Perk 3: Double Time
Wildcard: Enforcer

The Assassin perk comes in handy if you want to rack up some extra score while chasing down your enemies. Any enemy who is on a kill streak will drop Bounty Packs. These can be picked up to secure extra score. You can also follow them to trace the steps of the enemy player and kill them on sight.

Gung-Ho negates movement penalties when you are reloading or using equipment in the game. It will also be able to reload your weapon while Tactical Sprinting.

Double Time will provide you with increased Tactical Sprint duration, which is a great addition to this kit.

Lastly, our choice of Wildcard is the Enforcer. This is the perfect addition to seal this kit, providing players with the ability to carry on their high-tempo momentum in the game. Enforcer will temporarily provide you with increased movement speed after securing an elimination. You will further gain improved health regeneration as well.

For the secondary weapon, you're limited to two handgun options: the GS45 and the 9MM PM. For the best handgun, the GS45 is recommended due to its high damage output, capable of eliminating players with two precise shots to the upper torso.
