To unlock the Buffer Weight Stock attachment in Black Ops 6 and Warzone, the community had to collectively gather eight billion skulls during the Hit List event. This monumental challenge was successfully completed on November 23, making the Stock attachment available to all players.

BO6 & Warzone Buffer Weight Stock Attachment Explained

  • Pros:
    • Vertical and Horizontal Recoil Control

  • Cons:
    • Aim Down Sight Speed
    • Aim Walking Movement Speed

The Buffer Weight Stock in Black Ops 6 and Warzone is a Stock attachment available for the XM4 Assault Rifle, XMG LMG, and DM-10 Marksman Rifle. It provides significant recoil control, reducing vertical recoil by ~30%, horizontal recoil by ~50%, and gun kick by ~30%. However, this comes at the cost of a slight reduction in aim down sights speed (+23%) and aim walking movement speed (+13%).

Note: The pros and cons percentages of the Buffer Weight Stock can vary slightly based on the specific weapon and its category.

This attachment has been widely praised for its effectiveness in long-range engagements, where minimizing recoil is crucial for consistent accuracy. Its benefits are particularly notable in Warzone, where most battles occur at medium to long distances, making it an invaluable tool for landing shots with precision.

The Buffer Weight Stock provides players with greater loadout customization by enabling them to prioritize other attachments, such as Muzzles or Barrels, without sacrificing accuracy. This versatility ensures an optimized setup tailored to any playstyle.
