Quick Links
Black Ops 6features 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 likethe XM4andJackal PDWhave become go-to choices in the meta. However, players who prefer a slower, more methodical approach may opt for theXMG.
The XMG is currently the only Light Machine Gun inBlack 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.
Best XMG Loadout In Black Ops 6
This particular XMG build focuses on improving the weapon’s low mobility and handling. With the attachments highlighted below, players will notice an overall boost to movement speed and aim-down-sight speed, making it easier to bring up the weapon quickly. Faster reload speeds are also included, along with an increased fire rate to improve time-to-kill (TTK) across the board. Though this build won’t necessarily compete against weapons likethe C9up close, it’s a solid option for gunning down opponents from afar.
Best Perks & Wildcard
The Perks and Wildcard highlighted below complement many Assault Rifles and pair well with the XMG. Benefits include increased Tactical Sprint duration and faster refresh time, the ability to sprint while reloading, and enhanced regeneration and movement after eliminating an enemy. Additionally, players can reduce explosive damage when using Flak Jacket, making it ideal for countering grenade spam.
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 theGS45or9mm PMare excellent for switching to in these situations, making either option a solid Secondary to use alongside the XMG.
