Warzone will soon integrate with Black Ops 6 on November 14, adding all the new guns to the battle royale. With BO6’s strong weapon selection, a new meta is inevitable.
While player levels will reset for the new season, weapon progress will stay intact. This means you'll need to re-unlock the guns, but leveling them up now through multiplayer will have you ready with the best attachments once Season 1 launches.
Recommended BO6 Guns for Warzone Season 1
-
C9 – SMG: The first SMG you unlock in BO6, the C9 is versatile, with high kill speed, ease of use, mobility, and great iron sights. Pair it with a long-range Assault Rifle or LMG for a balanced, powerful loadout.
-
PP-919 – SMG: While its time-to-kill (TTK) is slower, its large magazine and low recoil make it ideal for Warzone, where you'll need sustained firepower against heavily armored players.
-
XM4 – Assault Rifle: Perfect for early loadouts with low recoil, good TTK, and mobility. It's a classic, reliable choice for those starting out in Season 1.
-
Model L – Assault Rifle: Essentially a better version of the XM4, it boasts identical TTK but with higher bullet velocity, making it great for long-range battles.
-
AK-74 – Assault Rifle: High damage with controllable recoil, the AK-74 excels in medium to long ranges. With recoil attachments, it can dominate, and its close-range TTK makes it a solid sniper support option.
-
AS VAL – Assault Rifle: A favorite in previous Warzone seasons, the AS VAL has returned with its fast fire rate and excellent TTK for close-range fights.
-
XMG – LMG: Ideal for long-range with a large magazine, high damage, bullet velocity, and solid recoil control. It’s less mobile, but for Warzone’s open spaces, the XMG could be the new meta.
-
PU-21 – LMG: Competes with the XMG, excelling in different range brackets and offering high firepower for players who prefer it over the XMG.
-
LR 7.62 – Sniper Rifle: The top sniper in BO6 with unmatched damage and bullet velocity, making it a natural choice for Warzone sniping.
-
Tsarkov 7.62 – Marksman Rifle: A strong pick for those who favor semi-auto rifles, offering a powerful TTK at close ranges and excellent chest and headshot damage.
How to Level Up Guns Fast in BO6
For quick gun leveling in Black Ops 6, equip the Dispatcher and Bankroll perks for bonus XP, and focus on objective-based modes like Hardpoint, Domination, and Kill Confirmed. Playing near objectives or collecting tags will net you more XP, helping you speed through weapon levels. Keep an eye out for Double XP events for even faster progression.
These guns should serve you well for the Warzone integration on November 14. While balance changes could shake things up, leveling up these choices now will give you a head start as you climb through the new ranks.
