SMGs are always a favorite and this C9 loadout will have you dominating in Black Ops 6.

The C9 effectively replaces the Lachmann Sub and MP5 from previous games, which should immediately tell you that it's an ultra-powerful and easy-to-control SMG that anyone can use, and the best players can use exceptionally well.

Best C9 Loadout in Black Ops 6

Black Ops 6 c9 build gunsmith menu
  • Muzzle: Compensator
  • Barrel: Reinforced Barrel
  • Underbarrel: Lightweight Foregrip
  • Stock: No Stock
  • Rear Grip: CQB Grip

This attachment combination provides massive boost to firepower, accuracy, mobility, and handling.

Everything from sprint to fire to dive to fire rate is improved, as is your vertical recoil and movement speed. It's a terrific build for players that love to get around the map.

Equipment

  • Lethal: Semtex
  • Tactical: Stim Shot
  • Field Upgrade: Acoustic Amp

Semtex is the most useful lethal in Black Ops 6. It's quick to throw, can stick to walls, and can't be thrown back at you!

Likewise, the Stim Shot is the best tactical equipment in the game thanks to its instant health regeneration which can keep you in the fight much longer.

The Acoustic Amp will let you hear footsteps far better, which provides crucial information and lets you get a jump on your opponent.

Perks

Perks are highly dependent on your style of play, but these ones suit this C9 build very well.

  • Perk 1: Ninja
  • Perk 2: Tracker
  • Perk 3: Double Time

Ninja lets you move more quietly, which is crucial as this is a loadout built for moving around the map rapidly.

Tracker will highlight enemy footsteps, letting you hunt them down efficiently.

Double time greatly increases your tactical sprint duration, again emphasizing the movement ability.

Wildcard

Depending on the map, you might want to use Overkill to add more range, but we recommend using Gunfighter. This lets you add three additional attachments to your C9 build. They should be:

  • Magazine: Extended Mag II
  • Laser: Fast Motion Laser
  • Fire Mods: Recoil Springs

The addition of these three will greatly increase your accuracy and firepower thanks to more bullets in your magazine and less recoil. It comes with a slight hit to handling, but that is very manageable.
