Weapons Detail
Primary Weapon: Krig C (Launch)
Assault Rifle, Battle Pass Page 3 HVT Tier Reward, Page 14 Battle Pass Blueprint
Levels: 43
MAGS: 3
MAG SIZE: 30
Mastery Badges: Yes
Attachments: Optic, Muzzle, Barrel, Underbarrel, Magazine, Rear Grip, Stock, Laser, Fire Mods
Customize Options: Skins, Reticle Unlocks, Weapon Camos, Accessories (1), Decals (1), Stickers 3).
Full-auto assault rifle. High damage and average handling. Recoil pattern starts very controllable before ramping up.
For a hard-hitting, versatile Assault Rifle that performs well across multiple ranges, look no further than the Krig C. The weapon inflicts moderate damage across the whole body with a four-shot elimination within its effective range. Recoil control becomes shakier through sustained fire, so burst fire to retain accuracy or consider attachments offering improved control to help counter the ramped-up movement.
Primary Weapon: Saug (Launch)
SMG, Battle Pass Page 3 HVT Tier Reward, Page 11 Battle Pass Blueprint
Levels: 39
MAGS: 4
MAG SIZE: 36
Mastery Badges: Yes
Attachments: Optic, Muzzle, Barrel, Underbarrel, Magazine, Rear Grip, Stock, Laser, Fire Mods
Customize Options: Skins, Reticle Unlocks, Weapon Camos, Accessories (1), Decals (1), Stickers 3).
Fully automatic submachine gun. Excellent mobility and good handling. Great rate of fire. High recoil.
Pepper your enemies with a hailstorm of lead using this rapid-fire SMG that’s perfect for breaching and clearing small spaces. The Saug kicks up like a horse when fired down sights; pull down when aiming to counter the recoil or better yet improve the weapon’s already great hip-fire capabilities with the appropriate attachments, including the Tactical Laser for a killer combo of mobility and accuracy via Tactical Stance. Or go all out on hip-fire with the Akimbo Saug Stock for unmatched SMG firepower.
Primary Weapon: Maelstrom (Mid-Season)
Shotgun, Event Reward
Levels: 34
MAGS: 3
MAG SIZE: 10
Mastery Badges: Yes
Attachments: Optic, Muzzle, Barrel, Underbarrel, Magazine, Rear Grip, Stock, Laser, Fire Mods
Customize Options: Skins, Reticle Unlocks, Weapon Camos, Accessories (1), Decals (1), Stickers 3).
Fully automatic shotgun. Good range and handling. High recoil and large hip spread.
What this weapon lacks in power compared to the other Shotguns, it makes up for with its rapid-fire full-auto capabilities. Its heavy recoil and large hip spread require getting up close to the enemy, but within its effective range it’s devastating. Consider equipping the Overkill Wildcard to pair this shotgun with a mid-range weapon for greater versatility. When moving into tight spaces, swap to the full-auto Shotgun and let loose.
Primary Weapon: AMR Mod 4 (Mid-Season)
Sniper Rifle, Event Reward
Levels: 38
MAGS: 4
MAG SIZE: 6
Mastery Badges: Yes
Attachments: Optic, Muzzle, Barrel, Stock Pad, Magazine, Rear Grip, Comb, Laser, Fire Mods
Customize Options: Skins, Reticle Unlocks, Weapon Camos, Accessories (1), Decals (1), Stickers 3).
Semi-auto sniper rifle. One-shot kill to torso, arms, hands, and upper legs. Very high recoil and slow rate of fire. You can steady your aim while ADSing.
The hardest hitting weapon in its class, this sniper rifle rewards patience with a huge one-shot elimination range across the upper body. It’s slow to aim and it kicks hard, but when the shot connects, say goodbye to the enemy. Inflicting major damage out to 100 meters, its selection of closer ranged optics also offers the possibility of fighting in the vanguard, a veritable frontline cannon.
Secondary Weapon: Sirin 9mm (In-Season)
Special Event Reward
Levels: 30
MAGS: 3
MAG SIZE: 32
Mastery Badges: Yes
Attachments: Optic, Muzzle, Barrel, Underbarrel, Magazine
Customize Options: Skins, Reticle Unlocks Weapon Camos, Accessories (1), Decals (1), Stickers 2).
Fully automatic specialty weapon. Offers SMG characteristics as a secondary weapon. Slow rate of fire.
Take your Secondary Weapon game to the next level with this foldable Secondary Weapon offering full-auto fire with a slow and steady fire rate to help you stay on target up to the mid-range. Its base configuration offers 32 rounds to keep you in the fight during sustained combat, with an Extended Mag option that pushes that number to 40. The weapon has a moderate kick after each shot fired, but several of its attachments offer improved recoil control to help counter the movement. Once unlocked, look for this weapon in the new “Special” category within Secondary Weapons.
Melee Weapon: Power Drill (In-Season)
Melee, Event Reward
Levels: 30
Mastery Badges: Yes
Attachments: None
Customize Options: Skins.
Two-hit kill. Very short range. Very fast attack speed.
There’s no better tool for the job than the Power Drill, offering a rapid attack speed for quick follow-up hits to get the job done. Including a mix of sweeps, jabs, uppercuts, and a heavy attack that drills straight on, this weapon is ideal for putting a hole in the competition when the going gets tough.
Melee Weapon: Cleaver (Mid-Season)
Melee, Event Reward
Levels: 30
Mastery Badges: Yes
Attachments: None
Customize Options: Skins.
One-hit kill. Short-medium range. Medium attack speed.
Featuring a combo of sweeping attacks and head-on strikes, the Cleaver is the perfect Melee weapon for clearing out multiple and single targets in enclosed spaces. Use its heavy attack to prep the strike when anticipating incoming enemies, taking them to the chopping block the moment they appear.
New: Special Weapon Attachments
12 Gauge Dragon’s Breath (Launch)
Shotguns, Fire Mod, Battle Pass Page 7 Reward
Add some heat to your Shotgun blasts with incendiary rounds comprised of magnesium sparks that stick to and burn enemies over time. Equipping the 12 Gauge Dragon’s Breath Fire Mod prevents using Barrel Attachments, but the tradeoff is well worth it when seeking a fiery finish.
Buffer Weight Stock (In-Season)
XM4 Assault Rifle, XMG LMG, DM-10 Marksman Rifle, Stock Attachment, Event Reward
The heavier Buffer Weight Stock provides significantly smoother action through the additional resistance met by the bolt carrier group. The improvement results in more manageable recoil through sustained fire, ideal for staying on target though at the expense of ADS Speed and Aim Walk Movement Speed.
Burst Fire Conversion (In-Season)
XM4 Assault Rifle, Fire Mod, Event Reward
Convert the XM4 Assault Rifle’s primary firing mode into a three-round burst to help conserve ammo and stay on target. There’s an impressive lack of recoil too, so it’s still possible to pump out consistent damage when facing heavy threats.
Burst Fire Conversion (In-Season)
Kompakt 92 SMG, Fire Mod, Event Reward
Convert the Kompakt 92 SMG’s primary firing mode into an exceptionally rapid three-round burst. Equipping the Burst Fire Conversion Fire Mod locks the Underbarrel and Barrel Attachment slots. When you need to fire quickly in close quarters, hold down the trigger to automatically cycle through burst shots.
Weapons Access: Feature: The Armory (Launch)
Global System: MP, ZM, WZ
Coming to Black Ops 6 Multiplayer, Zombies, and Call of Duty: Warzone at the start of Season 01 is the Armory, easily accessible from your Barracks > Challenges menu. Like in Modern Warfare III, the Black Ops 6 Armory is a repository that provides access to previously missed Loadout content from prior Battle Passes and Events. Activate an item in the Armory to start earning XP toward unlocking it.
The Armory is unlocked at Player Level 24 and is added to the Level Unlock Menu. It is an area to check on items that otherwise cannot be earned through normal weapon progression. For example, if you miss the chance to obtain one of the Season 01 weapons unlocked via an Event, it is likely to be available to earn after the Event concludes.
For Call of Duty: Warzone players only, the Armory enables you to earn XP to unlock any weapon from Modern Warfare II and Modern Warfare III that you missed, including all Seasonal Battle Pass weapons and Challenge weapons, as well as Modern Warfare III Armory-exclusive attachments, and Aftermarket Parts. You can then employ these in Call of Duty: Warzone.
Season 01 Events
Events are back and provide some of the finest cosmetic loot to unlock! As the first part of the Season is truncated (with Season 01 Reloaded and a wealth of new content arriving in early December), expect the Hit List Event prior to Mid-Season. Once Season 01 Reloaded arrives, expect multiple Events to look forward to – including one focused on Zombies – during the latter half of the Season.
Event: Hit List (In-Season)
Who’s next? Keep up your luxurious – but slightly corrupt – lifestyle during the Hit List Event. You’re offered up a take-no-prisoners mission: kill or be killed. The Hit List Limited Event gives players a board of contracts with one goal – take them all out. Cross off the entire list and earn some exclusive loot for hire.
Season 01 Master Prestige Menu
At Season launch, expect an additional in-game menu, visible and accessible to all, called “Master Prestige,” appearing next to the Prestige Menu when you locate it within the Barracks. This showcases some of the rewards available to the dedicated legends who are making the final grind to Level 1,000! This is where you’ll go to check out rewards as they are obtained, as well as viewing the legacy Prestige emblems you accrue every 100 levels!
Brand-new Battle Pass System and BlackCell
Operator Sev Headlines the New and Improved Battle Pass
Trained assassin, espionage expert, and key Rogue Black Ops player from the Black Ops 6 Campaign, Sevati “Sev” Dumas headlines the brand-new Season 01 Battle Pass with four different Skins to unlock!

The Season 01 Black Ops 6 Battle Pass is brimming over with content, which is both showcased and unlocked in a brand-new “Page” system.

Pages include Free and Paid content. As always, all Base Weapons are free to unlock.
Starting Your Battle Pass Journey: Page 1
As you start your new Battle Pass journey, the Instant Reward Page and Page 1 is unlocked by default. All the other Pages are locked but can be previewed. Your goal is to complete the Battle Pass and access the 100 percent Completion Page at the end of the Battle Pass.
Each Page contains a slight variation on the following:
Battle Tokens return to the Battle Pass and work in a similar way to those in previous Battle Passes. A Token Bank is displayed in the top-right corner of your Battle Pass. These are used to unlock the 100 individual reward Tiers across all 14 Pages.
If there are specific Tiers you’re particularly interested in unlocking, you simply need to accrue enough Battle Tokens to unlock the Page and its Tier content.
Prior to a Battle Pass, BlackCell and Bundles Blog prior to Season 01 Launch where all the incredible Battle Pass content is revealed, expect the following types of content, including new types of rewards:
Join the molten, crystalized skull-headed Goliath as he stalks the epic Season 01 BlackCell content. Featuring an animated Operator Skin with writhing flames across his onyx carapace armor, this orange-hued demon favors brutal blades and swift deaths.

Vault Edition Upgrade
If you’re considering an upgrade to the Black Ops 6 Vault Edition, this is the time to do it! For the same price as the BlackCell offering ($30 or your regional equivalent), the Vault Edition entitles you to the very same Season 01 BlackCell offering, along with the following:

Sporting two different Skins depending on the infiltration mission at hand, Sev is more than ready to lead the charge.
The Replacer (Bundle, Rogue Black Ops, In-Season)
Store Bundle
“I’m your daddy now.” – The Replacer
There’s no substitute for greatness. Last seen in Call of Duty: Black Ops 4’s Blackout mode, and first appearing in Black Ops 2, The Replacer has concluded his whirlwind Black Ops 6 takeover tour and has freed up some time to appear in-game, and available as a Store Bundle shortly after Launch.
Competitor CDL Home and Away Operators (Bundle, Rogue Black Ops, Crimson One, In-Season)

The first available Bundle includes the “2025 CDL Home” “Competitor” Operator (Rogue Black Ops), and the “2025 CDL Away” “Competitor” Operator (Crimson One).

Brand-new Battle Pass System and BlackCell
Operator Sev Headlines the New and Improved Battle Pass
Trained assassin, espionage expert, and key Rogue Black Ops player from the Black Ops 6 Campaign, Sevati “Sev” Dumas headlines the brand-new Season 01 Battle Pass with four different Skins to unlock! Purchase the Battle Pass Bundle for 2,400 COD Points to immediately unlock the Instant Rewards Page of the Battle Pass, with the following items:
- 10% Battle Pass XP Boost
- The “Bloom Boomer” Frag Grenade Skin
- The “Thorn” Legendary Blueprint for the Tanto .22 SMG.
- The “Rose Goes” Legendary Weapon Sticker.
- The “Sev” Skin (and Sev Operator), along with the “Sev BlackCell” Skin for those that purchase BlackCell.
The Season 01 Black Ops 6 Battle Pass is brimming over with content, which is both showcased and unlocked in a brand-new “Page” system. Think of the Battle Pass as a book, with two front pages of Instant Rewards (one BlackCell), then 100 in-game Battle Pass rewards across 14 Pages and a Completion Page that is instantly unlocked once all other Pages are completed. Pages include Free and Paid content. As always, all Base Weapons are free to unlock.
Starting Your Battle Pass Journey: Page 1
As you start your new Battle Pass journey, the Instant Reward Page and Page 1 is unlocked by default. All the other Pages are locked but can be previewed. Your goal is to complete the Battle Pass and access the 100 percent Completion Page at the end of the Battle Pass.
Each Page contains a slight variation on the following:
- Around six item rewards (known as “Tiers”) that are unlocked in any order you wish within the Page. Each requires an earned Battle Token to unlock.
- Each Page contains two free Tier rewards. The rest are unlocked via purchasing the Battle Pass Bundle or BlackCell.
- An “HVT” (High Value Target) Tier reward that is unlocked once the previous items are unlocked. This is usually an Operator Skin or Weapon Blueprint, and sometimes there’s a BlackCell variant.
- When both the regular and HVT Tiers are unlocked (usually a total of seven Tiers), the Page is complete.
- Battle Pass owners can elect to automatically or manually unlock reward item Tiers as they reach them.
Battle Tokens return to the Battle Pass and work in a similar way to those in previous Battle Passes. A Token Bank is displayed in the top-right corner of your Battle Pass. These are used to unlock the 100 individual reward Tiers across all 14 Pages.
- You spend these Tokens on any available Tier reward on an unlocked Page.
- You can automatically unlock Tier rewards as you play, and not store up any earned Tokens. Players without the Battle Pass earn rewards in a linear order and have no access to Tokens.
- Or you can earn Battle Tokens and Claim Tiers and manually unlock Pages later in the Battle Pass (only available if you purchase the Battle Pass or BlackCell offering).
- Earning five total Tier rewards on a single page unlocks the next Page in the Battle Pass, meaning you don’t have to complete a single Page to access the next Page.
- This means you can choose to claim Tier rewards on the current or any new Page.
- Every subsequent Page requires five further total Tiers to be unlocked from any unlocked Page. The number of Tiers required to unlock each Page is displayed on that Page.
If there are specific Tiers you’re particularly interested in unlocking, you simply need to accrue enough Battle Tokens to unlock the Page and its Tier content.
- For example, if you have BlackCell and 20 Tokens, and Page 6 of the Battle Pass requires 18 more Tiers to unlock, you simply spend your Tokens to access the Page and choose the 18 Tier Rewards from Pages 1-6.
- Remember, there are seven total Tier reward unlocks per Page, but only five Tiers are needed to unlock each Page. This means you can save some Tokens for future Pages.
- BlackCell owners receive an added Bonus of being able to unlock any Battle Pass Page and start unlocking Tier Rewards on that Page.
