Marksman rifles are finding it hard to compete in Black Ops 6 when faced with more balanced weapons like the XM4 and Jackal PDW. The Tsarkov 7.62 suffers from many of the same issues, with a few of its own piled on top. However, using it well will reward you with plenty of kills, especially when you deck it out with a proper build. The best loadout for the gun looks to offset some of its weaknesses and make it a punisher from long range. Here’s what we suggest to pick to make the best loadout for the Tsarkov 7.62 in Black Ops 6.
- Has potential to one-shot enemies
- Rewards accuracy with high damage
- Very high vertical recoil
- Slow fire rate and handling
Best Black Ops 6 Tsarkov 7.62 attachments

| Weapon part | Attachment | Unlock level |
|---|---|---|
| Optics | Kepler Microflex | DM-10 Level 20 |
| Muzzle | Compensator | Level 23 |
| Barrel | Long Barrel | Level 16 |
| Rear Grip | Commando Grip | Level 31 |
| Stock | Balanced Stock | Level 24 |
The optic slot can be tailored to any optic that you prefer – just make sure to pick one that helps you get consistent headshots across both medium and long range. Similarly, you can opt to switch the Compensator muzzle for Ported Compensator. That will reduce first-shot recoil at the expense of overall vertical recoil.
These attachments help offset some of Tsarkov’s shortcomings, which mainly come down to its vertical recoil and handling speed. That is mainly accomplished through the Compensator muzzle and the Commando Grip. Next, the Long Barrel attachment helps the gun with damage consistency at longer ranges. In tandem, the Kepler Microflex provides a clear visual zoom when aiming down sights. Last but not least, the Balanced Stock helps with mobility issues by giving you better movement speed across the board.
Best Black Ops 6 Tsarkov 7.62 perks and equipment
Once you’ve set up the attachments, it’s time to select your perks and equipment. Here’s what you should consider bringing with this loadout:
Perks
- Perk 1: Gung-Ho
- Perk 2: Fast Hands
- Perk 3: Double Time
- Bonus Perk: Scavenger
We’re using the Perk Greed Wildcard to get access to the fourth perk. All of them come from the Enforcer combat specialty. Gung-Ho gives you extra mobility while reloading and using equipment, while Fast Hands help you out when you need to quickly switch to your secondary. Double Time adds to your Tac Sprint length when you have to reposition quickly, which is also helped by the increased mobility from the Enforcer specialty. Lastly, Scavenger is there to help you replenish ammo and equipment from downed enemies.
Equipment
- Lethal: Semtex
- Tactical: Stim Shot
- Field Upgrade: Spring Mine
Semtex is always a great pick for your lethal. It can stick to an enemy to guarantee a kill and you can throw it to stick to doorways and passages if you expect a rush. Similarly, the Spring Mine can be set up to cover a blind spot near your position. Lastly, the Stim Shot is there for a quick pick-me-up after an intense engagement.
Best alternatives to Tsarkov 7.62
Tsarkov needs the right attachments to get the most out of it, similar to the Goblin Mk2, which is in many ways its mid-range cousin in Black Ops 6. If you want to keep to marksman rifles, then the SWAT 5.56 is a good option to swap to. For a longer range, snipers like SVD or LR 7.62 are good picks.
