The C9 is one of the few Submachine Guns available to players uponunlocking their Custom Loadouts,and boasts exceptional accuracy within its category. Although it is often overshadowed bythe Jackal PDW,the C9 remains a solid choice at close range due to its fast fire rate and strong mobility and handling attributes.

Best C9 Loadout In Black Ops 6
Best C9 Build:
The C9 build showcased above is perfect for players looking for an excellent run-and-gun setup. The attachments for this build provide several benefits, includingincreased aim-down-sight speeds, faster dive-to-fire and slide-to-fire speeds, andreduced horizontal recoil.
This build alsoboosts the fire rate, improving overall time-to-kill (TTK), and extends the weapon’s damage into the medium range. All these advantages make the C9 an excellent main weapon, one that isparticularly deadly on Strike maps.
While a player’s choice in Perks ultimately comes down to personal preference, the following options pair particularly well with the C9. First up areDexterity and Tracker, a combination that highlights enemy footprints and reduces weapon motion while sliding, diving, and jumping.Double Timeis also essential, as it grants access toEnforcer, offering a mix of boosted mobility and faster health regeneration upon eliminating targets.
For the Wildcard,Perk Greedis an excellent choice, allowing players to equip a fourth Perk, withScavengerbeing the best fit for players looking to rack up enough kills for their Scoresteaks.
Black Ops 6 Secondary Recommendations
The C9 is likely the only weapon that players will default to for this loadout, especially when competing against the likes of the Jackel PDW. However, it is always advised to carry an additional weapon that players can swap-to in situations where a quick reload is impossible. In this scenario, eithertheSirin 9mmor theGrekhovawill more than do, as either can dispatch opponents fairly quickly.
Gunfighter Attachments:
Next up is a build forWarzone, providingone of the best Submachine Gun buildsthat players can run. With the attachments highlighted above, players will find that therecoil of the C9 is perfectly controllableeven at medium range, along with offering both abuff to sprinting speed and general movement speedfor added fluidity.
While a solid five-attachment build can finish off with an extended magazine, players using Gunfighter should be sure toimprove other attributes like handling and hip-fire accuracy, as well as provide anadditional boost to recoil controlfor good measure.
Best Warzone Perks & Wildcard

All these benefits ensure players can move at their absolute best, allowing them to easily outmaneuver their opponents.
As for the Wildcard, players have two options. For a solid eight-attachment build, opt forGunfighter, as players can always gain access to their desired second primary weapon via the Buy Station. To get an extra primary weapon right from the start, however, opt forOverkill.
Warzone Secondary Recommendations
The C9 is a perfect weapon to pair with a Sniper Rifle, as it provides close-range support, ideal for when enemies get a little too close for comfort. For the two best Sniper Rifles in the category, players can opt for either theLW3A1 FrostlineortheLR 7.62.The Frostline shines on Resurgence, thanks to its enhanced handling attributes. However, for sheer firepower and bullet velocity, the LR 7.62 is the clear go-to.
As for players seeking more versatility, running an Assault Rifle alongside the C9 can provide an excellent loadout. Some of the top Assault Rifle options inWarzoneso far include theGPR 91, theXM4, andtheModel L, each offering outstanding versatility across various ranges.
