Looking for the best loadouts in Black Ops 6 Season 3? With the recent weapon balancing changes, now is the perfect time to refresh your go-to builds. I’m Ace, and after diving deep into the patch, I’ve updated my Top 10 Multiplayer Setups to reflect the current meta. These aren’t just the most powerful weapons on paper — they’re setups I’ve tested and dominated with. Let’s jump in!
10. AS VAL – Buffed & Back in Action
The AS VAL received a much-needed buff to its 5-shot kill range in Season 3, making it much more viable.
Loadout:
Suppressed Long Barrel
Extended Mag 2
CQB Grip
Stellic Laser
Infiltrator Stock
Fast sprint-out, accurate ADS, and excellent strafe speed — this setup makes the VAL a sleeper pick in the current meta.
9. Maelstrom Slug – Underrated Beast
Maelstrom with slugs now delivers 2-shot kills up to 27.9m. It’s a full-auto shotgun with rifle-like range and precision.
Loadout:
Kepler Microflex Optic
Muzzle Brake
Long Barrel
Ergonomic Grip
Slug Ammo
190ms TTK at range and a one-shot headshot potential up close? Criminally underrated.
8. C9 SMG – Balanced Stealth SMG King
It hasn’t changed in recent patches, but the C9 remains a top-tier all-around SMG.
Loadout:
Suppressor
Ranger Foregrip
Extended Mag 1
Ergonomic Grip
Infiltrator Stock
Insane mobility + consistent TTK = a must-use for aggressive players.
7. Fang 82 LMG – Infinite Ammo Slayer
After Beltfed mod buffs, this LMG almost never overheats and handles like a dream.
Loadout:
Beltfed Mod
Kepler Microflex Optic
Suppressor
Ranger Foregrip
Ergonomic Grip
260ms TTK with practically unlimited ammo. Great for streaks and holding power positions.
6. XM4 – The Classic All-Rounder
No recent changes, but the XM4 is still one of the most reliable ARs for any playstyle.
Loadout:
Kepler Microflex Optic
Suppressor
Extended Mag 1
Ergonomic Grip
Infiltrator Stock
Easy to control, versatile at all ranges — the definition of a balanced loadout.
5. Kilo 141 – Accurate Mid-Range Monster
Now in Black Ops 6, the Kilo is deadly accurate with excellent recoil control and a user-friendly feel.
Loadout:
Short Barrel (integrated suppressor)
Extended Mag 1
Ergonomic Grip
Infiltrator Stock
Optic (optional)
Not the fastest TTK, but laser precision makes up for it at mid-range.
4. DM10 – Best Semi-Auto in the Game
Season 3 increased the fire rate and made this two-shot semi-auto kill even more lethal.
Loadout:
Kepler Microflex Optic
Ported Compensator
Long Barrel
Flip Mag
Quickdraw Grip
Heavy Stock
Stellic Laser
Recoil Springs
180ms TTK with great range and flinch resistance. Perfect for consistent aimers.
3. KSV SMG – Close-Quarters Shredder
My personal favorite SMG right now — pure mobility and destruction in tight spaces.
Loadout:
Suppressor
Ranger Foregrip
Extended Mag 1
Ergonomic Grip
Infiltrator Stock
Fastest TTK up close with elite movement stats — perfect for rushers.
2. CR56 AAX – The New Meta AR
You've probably seen it all over your lobbies — it’s everywhere for a reason.
Loadout:
Suppressor
Gain Twist Barrel
Extended Mag 1
Ergonomic Grip
Infiltrator Stock
Great TTK, excellent mobility for an AR, and just enough accuracy to be dominant in all ranges.
1. SWAT 5.56 (Grau Conversion) – Meta Breaking
This is the most broken gun in Black Ops 6 Season 3 right now. With the full-auto conversion, it outclasses most SMGs and ARs combined.
Loadout:
Full Auto Kit
Suppressor
Extended Mag 1
Ergonomic Grip
Infiltrator Stock
Recoil Control attachments
SMG-level TTK with double the range and laser-beam accuracy. Abuse it while it lasts — a nerf is inevitable.
This Season 3 patch really shook up the Black Ops 6 meta, and we’re finally in a place where many guns feel viable. Whether you're a fan of aggressive SMG play or mid-range AR dominance, this list has something for everyone. In addition, Whether you're chasing camos, aiming to boost your rank, or simply want to farm XP fast, buying BO6 Bot Lobbies from U4GM is one of the easiest and safest methods.
