Two shotguns from Black Ops 6 offer players the ability to eliminate enemies with a single shot. The ASG-89 and Marine SP are now meta choices for their high damage output and stability and are very effective in close-range fights. The ASG-89 generates a fire rate of 188 rpm with a bullet velocity of 336 m/s. On the other hand, the Marine SP has a fire rate of 63 rpm and a bullet velocity of 320 m/s.

Both these weapons can be further tuned with additional attachments to improve their power and overall performance. We have tested all these attachments by spending hours playing the title, and have included in this article the best ones for ASG-89 and Marine SP to achieve one-shot kills in-game.

The Muzzle Brake improves bullet velocity and accuracy. It reduces the recoil of the weapon and quickly resets the recoil pattern, hence improving accuracy. Since ASG-89 is a semi-automatic weapon, the Muzzle Brake helps to maintain the stability of the weapon.

The Reinforced Barrel increases the damage range of the firearm. It also bolsters the firearm and improves bullet velocity.

The Precision Foregrip is very effective in stabilizing the weapon. It essentially tunes the horizontal recoil and idle sway control, making it more accurate while firing.

The Extended Mag II improves the ammo capacity of the weapon, offering 20 bullets in a non-padded mag and 40 bullets in a padded one. However, it slightly reduces the aim down sight speed and sprint-to-fire speed.

The Assault Grip improves the handling and sprint-to-fire speed. This is very important for controlling the weapon in high-pressure situations.

The Light Stock helps to improve the hip fire movement speed in all directions. It also enhances the movement speed and strafing movement speed, making it effective in close-range combat where quick reflexes can determine the outcome of a round.

The Steady Aim Laser improves the accuracy of the firearm by reducing the hip fire spread. However, it reduces the "laser visible in hip", like every other available laser in this game.

The 12 Gauge Slug is a cherry on the cake in this attachment list. This fire mode is incredibly powerful and improves the overall accuracy and damage range of the weapon, making it deadly on the battleground.

The Precision Foregrip improves the stability of this weapon by reducing the recoil control. It also increases ADS speed, ideal for aggressive gameplay.

The Light Stock increases the regular movement speed, hip fire movement speed, and strafing movement speed, thereby improving the overall mobility of the weapon. It is very effective for players who prefer aggressive rush gameplays.

The Steady Aim Laser reduces the hip fire spread for this weapon. It improves the weapon's stability while increasing its accuracy.

As mentioned earlier, the 12 Gauge Slug is now in the meta that improves the accuracy and damage range of the firearm. It generally offers better performance and high damage output and helps to achieve one-shot kill in the title.
