Best Saug Loadout In Black Ops 6
First up is a build specifically forBlack Ops 6Multiplayer, one that aims to add a little more versatility for close and medium-range engagements. While the attachments below do not improve bullet velocity (as the default value falls within the hitscan range for Multiplayer), thedamage range has been boosted.Much of the horizontal recoil experienced from a distance has also been reduced,improving accuracyacross the board.
Other benefits of the following attachments includeimproved handling attributes, such as aim-down-sight, slide-to-fire, and dive-to-fire speeds, along withbetter movement and strafing speeds.This setup provides players with a fast and deadly Submachine Gun, capable ofdominating on smaller maps like Nuketown.
Best Black Ops 6 Perks & Wildcard
When it comes to Multiplayer,a good roster of Perksand a solid Wildcard can enhance a player’s loadout drastically. For Multiplayer, five-attachment builds are more than enough, calling for players to go with Perk Greed as their Wildcard. Doing so gives players more freedom with their roster of Perks without having to sacrifice the Combat Specialty. The perks below are a great match for an SMG build,handling weapon motion along with revealing enemy footsteps.
Other benefits include anincrease in tactical sprint durationto maintain increased mobility for longer, access to the Enforcer Specialty for evenmore mobility with each elimination, along with the ability toloot ammunition from enemieswhen supplies are low.

Black Ops 6 Secondary Recommendations
No loadout is complete without a solid Handgun to swap to when a quick reload is out of the question. For those looking forthe best Handgun available, theGrekhovais by far the most reliable. Sporting a fast fire rate and excellent handling, this weapon will serve players well in their close-range engagements. For a more hard-hitting option, players can also opt for theGS45or the9mm PM.

Extra attention has also been given toimproving vertical recoil control, along with equipping a larger magazine forextra ammo capacity. When used onthe Area 99 Resurgence map, this build dominates the competition at close range.
Best Warzone Perks & Wildcard
The Perk and Wildcard options forWarzoneare a little more limited, but players can still get their hands on a solid package. Since the Saug build for this loadout utilizes eight attachments, players will need touse the Gunfighter Wildcard.Everything else is subject to personal preference, but we suggest running the Perks listed below.
Benefits of the following Perks includereduced weapon motion during movement activitiesfor added accuracy, as well as the ability tokickstart health regeneration by eliminating enemiesor inserting an armor plate. Players will also receivenotifications when being targeted by enemies, which is excellent for avoiding third-party attacks.
Warzone Secondary Recommendations
While players will be locked into equipping a Handgun for their Custom Loadout, they will still be able to purchase a custom weapon build from another loadout via the Buy Station, allowing them to complete their meta loadout in-game without sacrificing their eight-attachment build. For the Saug, players have two weapon combo options. The first is to run a reliable Sniper Rifle for long-distance encounters. While theLW3A1 Frostlineis known for its speed,theLR 7.62remains the best weapon in its class.
Alternatively, players can also consider a good long-range weapon from either the Light Machine Gun or Assault Rifle category. Excellent LMG options include theXMGand theGPMG-7.For Assault Rifles, theXM4,GPR 91,AK-74, andtheKrig Care all solid choices.
