With new additions like the LC10 and FFAR 1, alongside a slew of buffs and nerfs to existing weapons, the meta has shifted once again. With that in mind, here are the best loadouts to run in Black Ops 6 Season 4.

Black Ops 6 & Warzone: How To Unlock The Goblin Mk2 7.62 Mini-Rocket Conversion
The Goblin Mk2 7.62 Mini-Rocket Conversion arrives in Black Ops 6 and Warzone, bringing an exciting new addition to both games. Here’s how to get it.
Best FFAR 1 Loadout
First up is the FFAR 1, currently one of the top meta options for Season 4. This nifty weapon arrives with the Season 4 Battle Pass, boasting a blistering fire rate and one of the best time-to-kill stats of any Assault Rifle in the game. While it does have some noticeable recoil kick and bounce, its range is impressive to say the least.
Where the FFAR 1 shines most is in close-to-medium-range gunfights, but if players can manage its vertical kick, they should have no trouble decimating opponents at longer distances. Here is a high-handling, low-recoil Gunfighter build for the FFAR 1 in Black Ops 6 Multiplayer that will make this weapon a strong addition to any loadout:
-
Best FFAR 1 Build:
- Volzhskiy Reflex (Optic)
- Suppressor (Muzzle)
- Long Barrel (Barrel)
- G-Grip (Underbarrel)
-
- Extended Mag I (Magazine)
- Commando Grip (Rear Grip)
- Balanced Pad (Stock)
- Recoil Springs (Fire Mods)
Best LC10 Loadout
Keeping up with the fresh weapons introduced in Season 4 is the LC10, yet another top contender in the current meta. The LC10 is definitely a top-tier Submachine Gun to use. It boasts excellent handling, and its damage range is impressive, reaching well into long-range engagements for Multiplayer.
As a result, players are given a solid all-purpose weapon that performs well in nearly every gunfight. The only drawback is its relatively slow reload, particularly noticeable toward the end of the animation. Here is an excellent Gunfighter build for the LC10, one that improves recoil control, damage range, and overall handling:
-
Best LC10 Build:
- Suppressor (Muzzle)
- Long Barrel (Barrel)
- Ranger Foregrip (Underbarrel)
- Extended Mag I (Magazine)
-
- Commando Grip (Rear Grip)
- Infiltrator Stock (Stock)
- Strelok Laser (Laser)
- Recoil Springs (Fire Mods)
Best C9 Loadout
Next up is a solid class setup for the C9, a weapon that continues to be a reliable go-to Submachine Gun in Black Ops 6 Multiplayer. While it may not outperform the LC10 in terms of overall time-to-kill, the C9 remains an easy-to-use weapon that just about any player can pick up and be effective with.
The C9 boasts solid damage range for mid-range gunfights, along with a fast draw speed and handling stats that make it a well-rounded choice. Just don’t expect it to dish out massive damage at long range. Here’s a strong setup for the C9 that’s sure to help players secure high-kill games:
-
Best C9 Build:
- Suppressor (Muzzle)
- Long Barrel (Barrel)
- Ranger Foregrip (Underbarrel)
- Extended Mag II (Magazine)
-
- Commando Grip (Rear Grip)
- Balanced Stock (Stock)
- Strelok Laser (Laser)
- Recoil Springs (Fire Mods)
Best XM4 Loadout
The XM4 has made a solid comeback in Season 4 of Black Ops 6 Multiplayer, establishing itself as an all-around excellent Assault Rifle for virtually any mode or map. With a high fire rate and impressive time-to-kill, players should have no trouble tearing through the competition.
Where the XM4 truly shines is in its accuracy. When paired with the right attachments, it becomes a rock-solid Assault Rifle with virtually no vertical or horizontal recoil. Here is the best setup for the XM4 in Black Ops 6 Season 4:
-
Best XM4 Build:
- Volzhskiy Reflex (Optic)
- Suppressor (Muzzle)
- Long Barrel (Barrel)
- Ranger Foregrip (Underbarrel)
-
- Extended Mag I (Magazine)
- Commando Grip (Rear Grip)
- Buffer Weight Stock (Stock)
- Strelok Laser (Laser)
Best AS VAL Loadout
The AS VAL is yet another strong contender in Black Ops 6 Season 4 and might be the sleeper pick of the season. The AS VAL has always been a bit of a niche weapon, boasting a fast fire rate but a small magazine size that don’t quite balance each other out. However, with the right setup, the AS VAL becomes a highly viable option.
Featuring an integrated suppressor and an excellent time-to-kill at mid-to-long range, players really can’t go wrong with the AS VAL. The following build works well as a run-and-gun setup, though players may still find themselves burning through ammo fairly quickly:
-
Best AS VAL Build:
- Volzhskiy Reflex (Optic)
- Suppressed Long Barrel (Barrel)
- Ranger Foregrip (Underbarrel)
- Extended Mag III (Magazine)
-
- Commando Grip (Rear Grip)
- Balanced Stock (Stock)
- Strelok Laser (Laser)
- Recoil Springs (Fire Mods)

Best Meta Loadouts For COD Warzone Season 4
Warzone Season 4 is here, bringing with it a roster of weapons and updates. Here are the best meta loadouts to use in Warzone Season 4.
Best Ladra Loadout
While the Ladra Submachine Gun made its debut during Season 3 Reloaded, it remains one of the top SMGs to use in Black Ops 6 Multiplayer for Season 4. The Ladra boasts a high fire rate and delivers an excellent time-to-kill up close, though its noticeable recoil can make it harder to control during longer-range engagements.
For players seeking a high-DPS weapon on smaller-scale maps, the Ladra is definitely a strong pick. However, it’s balanced out by its rapid ammo consumption and relatively poor accuracy at range. Here is a great Gunfighter loadout for the Ladra that boosts both damage range, along with keeping handling attributes close to baseline:
-
Best Ladra Build:
- Suppressor (Muzzle)
- Long Barrel (Barrel)
- Ranger Foregrip (Underbarrel)
- Extended Mag II (Magazine)
-
- Commando Grip (Rear Grip)
- No Stock (Stock)
- Strelok Laser (Laser)
- Recoil Springs (Fire Mods)
Best Krig C Loadout
Back to Assault Rifles now with the Krig C—not exactly the top-tier choice in terms of overall time-to-kill, but still a solid and dependable weapon in Season 4. The Krig C can serve as a strong option for long-range engagements in Black Ops 6, especially when players focus on landing headshots rather than torso shots.
That said, the Krig C does come with a fair amount of vertical recoil in its default state, making recoil control a key focus when building out the weapon. However, with the following setup, players should have no trouble mowing down enemies from a distance:
-
Best Krig C Build:
- Volzhskiy Reflex (Optic)
- Compensator (Muzzle)
- Long Barrel (Barrel)
- Ranger Foregrip (Underbarrel)
-
- Extended Mag I (Magazine)
- Commando Grip (Rear Grip)
- Balanced Stock (Stock)
- Recoil Springs (Fire Mods)
Best CR-56 AMAX Loadout
The CR-56 AMAX has definitely fallen off in the meta since the launch of Season 4, mainly due to the recoil nerf it received at the start of the season. However, the CR-56 AMAX still ranks among the best in its class for headshot damage when it comes to full-auto Assault Rifles—meaning that, with a bit of skill, players can rack up some high-kill games through precision and accuracy.
By equipping a few key attachments to help mitigate its increased recoil, the CR-56 AMAX remains a competitive option in the Black Ops 6 Season 4 meta. Here’s a quick rundown of the best setup for the CR-56 AMAX this season:
-
Best CR-56 AMAX Build:
- Volzhskiy Reflex (Optic)
- Compensator (Muzzle)
- Long Barrel (Barrel)
- Ranger Foregrip (Underbarrel)
-
- Extended Mag I (Magazine)
- Commando Grip (Rear Grip)
- Balanced Stock (Stock)
- Recoil Springs (Fire Mods)
Best Kilo 141 Loadout
Finally, we have the Kilo 141—another weapon from Season 3 that has taken a slight hit to its accuracy, this time through a nerf to its recoil pattern’s view kick. Despite this, the Kilo 141 remains surprisingly effective in close-to-mid-range combat, especially when it’s built more like a Submachine Gun rather than a traditional Assault Rifle.
The build below is certainly a strange one, as it doesn’t do much to enhance damage range, but instead focuses heavily on improving handling, movement speed, and recoil control. The result is a versatile Assault Rifle that excels on smaller-scale maps.
-
Best Kilo 141 Build:
- Volzhskiy Reflex (Optic)
- Short Barrel (Barrel)
- Ranger Foregrip (Underbarrel)
- Extended Mag I (Magazine)
-
- Commando Grip (Rear Grip)
- Balanced Stock (Stock)
- Strelok Laser (Laser)
- Recoil Springs (Fire Mods)
