What’s in the Weapon Vault?
With a comprehensive weapon pool, the kicks and blasts in Black Ops 6 promise to keep the fanbase engaged. The lineup features a diverse collection of armaments that spans several categories:
| Type | Weapon |
|---|---|
| Assault Rifles | XM4, AK-74, ME 85, GPR 91, MODEL L, GOBLIN MK 2, AS VAL |
| Submachine Guns | C9, KSVT, ANTO .22, PP-919, Jackal PDW, KOMPAKT 92 |
| Shotguns | Marine SPAS, G-89 |
| Light Machine Guns | PS-21, XMG, GPMG-7 |
| Marksman Rifles | SWAT 5.56, Tsarkov 7.62, AEK-973, DM-10 |
| Sniper Rifles | LW3A1 Frostline, SVD, LR 7.62 |
| Pistols | 9mm PM, Grekhova, GS45, Stryder .22 |
| Launchers | CIGMA 28, HE-1 |

Despite the solid lineup, many players are grumbling about the AEK-973, which has been confirmed as a burst rifle. This choice has left fans wondering how it’ll fit into the Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 meta. Originally expected to offer robust recoil control akin to the AK-74, this version has some players skeptical. Additionally, the absence of iconic weapons like the M1911 and M16 has left many feeling disappointed. While the M1911 has a legacy across almost every title in the franchise, its omission from the launch roster raises eyebrows.
What Lies Ahead?
The expectations from Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 are sky high, especially with the promise of additional content post-launch. Treyarch and Raven have crafted a compelling campaign filled with high-stakes encounters, plus the return of Round-Based Zombies. Players can explore new maps while engaging in thrilling online multiplayer. Despite the mixed reactions regarding the weapon lineup, fans are still excited to drop into the chaotic world of Black Ops 6. Get ready, because October 25, 2024 will be a day to remember for shooting enthusiasts!
