The best C9 loadout in CoD BO6 Season 2 explained
Does the C9 slot into the meta?
When it comes to close-quarters combat in Call of Duty: Black Ops 6, there aren't many weapons that are better than the C9.
Heavily inspired by the iconic MP5 submachine gun (SMG), this particular weapon is spicing up the Season 2 meta thanks to the most recent dose of weapon balancing applied by Treyarch.
Armed with a quick rate of fire and high levels of mobility, the C9 complements the Omnimovement system perfectly.
But what exactly is the best Black Ops 6 C9 loadout? Keep on reading for the strongest build and the best set of attachments that will greatly increase your chances of topping the scoreboard.
Best C9 loadout for CoD BO6 Season 2 explained
After spending some time in the gunsmith, this set of five attachments improves all aspects of the C9 for even better performance:
- Muzzle: Muzzle Brake
- Barrel: Gain-Twist Barrel
- Underbarrel: Ranger Foregrip
- Rear Grip: Ergonomic Grip
- Stock: Balanced Stock
To keep recoil at a minimum, the Muzzle Brake reduces the unwanted kick generated by the C9's fast rate of fire.
For minimal damage drop-off, the Gain-Twist Barrel is the barrel of choice thanks to its increase in bullet velocity.
Mobility is key to succeeding in Black Ops 6, which is where the pairing of Ranger Foregrip and Ergonomic Grip comes into its own.
Faster aim-down sight, sprint-to-fire and sprint movement speed give you the best possible chance of reacting to incoming targets.
Perks
After equipping the attachments, the focus switches to the strongest combination of perks. These are the best picks to use alongside the C9:
- Perk 1: Dexterity
- Perk 2: Fast Hands
- Perk 3: Double Time
- Perk Greed: Gung-Ho
The trio of Dexterity, Double Time and Gung-Ho guarantee high levels of mobility are maintained at all times.
Pair that with an aggressive style of play and it's very easy to score a huge number of eliminations.
The small magazine size of the C9 means players will find themselves switching to their secondary weapon.
Equipping Fast Hands in the Perk 2 slot increases weapon swap speed, giving players the best chance of outgunning their opponents.
