Black Ops 6 features a broad roster of familiar and new weapons, each with a unique place in the overall meta. Among the more popular choices is the Tanto.22 Submachine Gun, an excellent option for close-range combat. However, for long-range engagements, players may turn to the Marksman Rifle category, where the Tsarkov 7.62 stands out as a strong contender.

The Tsarkov 7.62 is definitely an underrated pick in Black Ops 6, one which is unlocked upon reaching level 22. Leading the way in firepower, along with sporting great mobility and handling, this semi-automatic rifle is devastatingly good when put in the right hands. However, with the best loadout, the Tsarkov 7.62 has the potential to be one of the best weapons in the game.

The Tsarkov excels in damage and range, but the vertical kick it boasts whilst firing can sometimes be an issue when battling opponents beyond medium range. The build below will reduce much of the weapon's vertical recoil, as well as improve aim-down-sight and sprint-to-fire speeds, ensuring players are equipped for any scenario.

Other benefits include a larger magazine for additional rounds, along with boosts to movement and strafe speeds, making it easier to stay mobile on the battlefield.

Secondary Recommendations

The Tsarkov 7.62 has speed and accuracy on its side, but with a fairly slow reload speed, players may often find themselves caught in the crossfire when needed to reload. If players run a reliable Handgun, however, they will be given a neat weapon to swap to during these situations. Currently, the best weapon in the Handgun category is the Grekhova, a Pistol boasting a full-auto mode — making it as deadly as it is reliable. More heavy-hitting options include the GS45 and the Stryder.22.
