Black Ops 6 loadout system – Weapons, attachments & Equipment

Black Ops 6 brings changes to the CoD loadout system, reintroducing Black Ops’ Wildcards and adding new systems such as Perk Combat Specialties, and more.

Players are getting their first experience with this new loadout system in the beta, which allows you to create a custom loadout with various weapons, Perks, and Equipment options.

Here’s everything you need to know about BO6’s loadout system.

Black Ops 6 custom loadout explained

Black Ops 6 features a Gunsmith-based custom loadout system letting players equip a Primary weapon, Secondary weapon, Dedicated Melee, Lethal, Tactical, Field Upgrade, and a Wildcard. Players will be able to add up to five attachments to each Primary and Secondary weapon.

Attachment options include an Optic, Muzzle, Barrel, Underbarrel, Magazine, Rear Grip, Stock, Laser, Fire Mod, and others depending on the weapon class.

In Black Ops 6’s Gunsmith, each attachment has its own menu section, providing a brief explanation, unlock requirements, and detailed stats with its pros and cons.

Most attachments in Black Ops 6 no longer have cons, as the devs want to emphasize attachments as a benefit to your weapon, rather than complicating things with a balance of positives and negatives.

BO6 marks the return of Wildcards too, allowing players to gain extra benefits beyond their three base Perks. For instance, using the Perk Greed Wildcard allows you to add a fourth Perk to your loadout.

Perk Specialities, Scorestreaks & Shooting Range in BO6

The Black Ops 6 loadout system will offer Combat Specialities: Enforcer, Recon, and Strategist. This system will provide you with an extra loadout benefit that enhances a certain playstyle when you choose three of the same Perk category.

For example, equipping three Enforcer Perks gives you health regeneration and increased speed with each kill. You can check out all the details for this new system in our Combat Speciality guide.

BO6 will also bring back the traditional Scorestreak system letting players complement their weapon choices.

Additionally, the fan-favorite Shooting Range feature will return. As seen in MW3, this feature allows players to test their customized loadouts before entering multiplayer matches, helping them fine-tune their attachment choices.

Take a look at how many multiplayer maps you’ll be able to discover, as well as the all-new omnidirectional movement, UI overhaul, and the long-awaited return of the classic Prestige system.
