Best C9 Loadout and Class for Black Ops 6 Beta

THE C9 In Black Ops 6 is a new version of the fan favorite MP5 from previous Call of Duty titles, and even though it has a different name, it’s certainly not a downgrade by any means.

SMGs always end up being popular choices in any new title, and here in Black Ops 6 it’s no different with the Jackal PDW taking much of the spotlight, but the C9 is also quietly a pretty powerful weapon.

In this guide, we will go through how to unlock c9and what is the best C9 equipment and accessories are, as well as the best class build, perks, gear and equipment.

Best C9 Loadout and Attachments for Black Ops 6 Beta

As with all weapons, no matter how good the base weapon is, attachments can only make it better. In fact, I found the C9 to perform quite well without any attachments, comparable in many ways to the other popular SMG right now, the Jackal PDW.

Regardless, there are a whole host of attachments you can unlock and equip in Black Ops 6, acquired by using and upgrading the C9.

The ones you should watch out for are anything that will increase your stability and/or range, to make longer range engagements easier to win.

I also had some success with a couple of attachments: a pair of stocks – one of which involved removing the stock entirely to make a lighter weapon, which allowed for a faster overall movement speed. Alternatively, I tried the Infiltrator Stocka shorter stock which increased the speed of movement in sight and made the weapon much more lively.

A common choice might also be an alternative optic, in case you don’t get along too well with the pistol’s stock iron sights.

Overall, though, since this is a submachine gun, you’ll want to look for attachments that can enhance what it does best – meaning things like stability, movement speed, and improving your mobility to be a harder target to hit while you’re returning fire. You might also want to pick up something like the Mag I extended to compensate for some of the higher rate of fire.

However you build the C9, be sure to experiment with what works best for you.

Thanks to the flexibility of Black Ops 6’s loadout system, you can get some pretty varied weapon and perk choices, and for our recommended build, we’re leaning even more heavily on close-quarters combat.

Primary: C9 (MP5)

By doubling our close approach, we choose Exaggeration for our Wildcard and run with the Marine SP shotgun in the secondary weapon slot.

With the Frag, Stimulation shotAnd Assault Packthe emphasis is on staying in the fight, stocked with health and ammo through the Stim and Field Upgrade respectively.

As for the benefits, Assassin will reward you for eliminating players during killstreaks, while Dexterity And Double time improve your mobility, reducing weapon movement during jumps, slides and dives, as well as extending the duration of your tactical sprint, respectively.

By choosing these three benefits, you also unlock the Executor Combat specialty, which provides a temporary bonus to movement speed and health regeneration when the net kills.

As with attachments, feel free to mix and match other components here – perhaps you’d prefer an additional perk instead of a secondary shotgun, for example. Whatever your preference, there are a range of options worth exploring to create the best loadout for you.
