Gunsmith: Attachments Intel (MP, ZM, WZ)

Gunsmith, simplified! We've made it easier than ever to create the perfect weapon. Attachments now have clear benefits, and you can see exactly how they'll improve your gun's performance. No more guessing or searching for online guides. Just pick the attachments you like, and let the power flow through you!

Attachment Types

Level up your gear, soldiers! Attachments are like the secret sauce that makes your weapons shine. Each type has its own special powers, and the specific parts you choose will determine just how powerful your gun becomes. Check out this table to see which attachments work with which weapons.

Black Ops 6 Weapons Attachments

Key: The preceding table has the following information related to Weapon and Attachment Types, as follows:

• YES: Every weapon within the Weapon Type uses this Attachment Type.

• SOME: Most, but not all, of the Weapon Type uses this Attachment Type.

• NO: This Attachment Type is not available for the Weapon Type.

For example, the “Comb” Attachment Type is only available on Sniper Rifles.

Note: Attachment Type Descriptions are detailed throughout the rest of this Blog, so you know what each one does. See below.

Five Attachments Per Weapon. Eight if You’re a Gunfighter

Customize your weapon to the max! Every gun has a certain number of attachment points, and the more you use, the more powerful it'll become. Want even more slots? Level up to 33 and unlock the Gunfighter Wildcard. Get ready to unleash the full potential of your arsenal!

Attachments: Main Statistics and Details

Boost your stats, soldier! Every weapon has four key attributes: Firepower, Accuracy, Mobility, and Handling. The higher the bar, the better. Some weapons are naturally better at certain things, but attachments can help you level the playing field. So equip those attachments and watch your stats soar!

Dive deep into the numbers, data nerds! Want to know the exact impact of each attachment on your weapon? Toggle on "Details" and get ready to geek out. It's like having your own personal weapon analyst.

Attachments: A Deep Dive

Picture this, soldiers... We've got a visual feast for you! Check out these attachments and see which ones fit your weapon. And don't worry, we've got all the details you need – from stats to compatibility. So let's get this party started!

Optics

See the target, eliminate the target! Optics are a must-have for any serious shooter. They'll help you hit your mark every time. And the best part? Once you unlock an optic, you can use it on almost any weapon. So get aiming!

Muzzles

Silencer, please! Muzzles are like a muzzle for your gun, but in a good way. They help control recoil and make your shots quieter. Perfect for sneaking up on unsuspecting enemies.

Barrels

Power up your weapon! Barrels are the heart of your gun. Upgrade yours and watch your bullets fly faster and farther. Your enemies won't know what hit 'em!

Underbarrels

Grip it and rip it! Underbarrels are like extra hands for your gun. They can help you control recoil or give you a powerful secondary attack. Just be careful not to accidentally blow yourself up with that launcher!

Magazines

Load 'em up! Magazines are like your gun's ammo backpack. Want more bullets? Get an extended mag. Need to reload faster? Grab a fast mag. Just remember, you can't have it all.

Combs

Rest your weary head! Combs are like a comfy pillow for your sniper rifle. They make it easier to aim and shoot, but might make your gun a little less stable. It's a trade-off, but one that's worth it if you're a sharpshooter.

Rear Grips

Get a grip! Rear grips are like a comfy handle for your gun. They make it easier to aim and shoot, especially when you're on the move. It's like having a better handshake with your weapon.

Stocks

Steady aim, soldier! Stocks are like a support beam for your gun. They help you stay steady and accurate, but they can also slow you down. Choose wisely, and find the perfect balance between speed and precision.

Lasers

Light it up! Tactical lasers are like a beacon of accuracy for your weapon. They'll help you hit your target, but your enemies will know exactly where you are. So use them wisely, and remember, you can use Tactical Stance to balance your mobility and accuracy.

Fire Mods

Customize your firepower! Fire mods are like a toolbox for your gun. They can improve everything from trigger speed to bullet type. So experiment and find the perfect combination for your weapon.

Stock Pads

Cold shoulder, hot shots! This Buttstock Pad is exclusive to the LW3A1 Frostline Sniper Rifle. It's like a comfy pillow for your shoulder, and it helps you aim like a pro. Just be careful not to freeze your shoulder off in the process!
