Grinding for the best weapons in Black Ops 6 and Warzone is a core part of the meta, giving players the chance to experiment with different classes and build their loadouts how they see fit. With each season shifting the meta, some weapons climb to the top, while others aren't exactly the greatest options.
The PML 5.56 is a prime example of a weapon that's best avoided. Although it launched with the ABR A1 for Season 5, it has not proven to be a strong choice compared to other options. Still, for players looking to keep their camo grind going, the weapon does feature a full set of unique camos worth unlocking, along with attachments. Here is a guide on how to get them all for the PML 5.56.
