Black Ops 6 features fast-paced Multiplayer action, thanks to its Omnimovement system, allowing players to slide, sprint, and dive in any direction they choose. With movement being so rapid, weapons like the XM4 and Jackal PDW have become go-to choices in the meta. However, players who prefer a slower, more methodical approach may opt for the XMG.

The XMG is currently the only Light Machine Gun in Black Ops 6, boasting the largest magazine size of any weapon by default. Compared to Assault Rifles, the XMG leads in sheer firepower, and while it's not the fastest weapon, its handling can be improved with the right loadout.

Secondary Recommendations

The XMG boasts a large magazine, even with the Fast Mag I equipped, allowing players to secure multiple kills without needing to reload. However, there may be moments when players run out of ammunition during gunfights, making a backup weapon essential. Handguns such as the GS45 or 9mm PM are excellent for switching to in these situations, making either option a solid Secondary to use alongside the XMG.
