When it comes to the strongest weaponry to use in Black Ops 6, the Jackal PDW is certainly among the best to use. Armed with a lethal rate of fire and mobility that suits the fast Omnimovement system perfectly, the submachine gun (SMG) is already turning heads. But it’s not just the fire rate and mobility you should consider when building a loadout around the Jackal PDW. Its clean iron sight makes it extremely easy to maintain high levels of accuracy and with a bit of trigger discipline, it can even make an impact at longer ranges on some of the bigger maps. Here, we take a closer look at the best Jackal PDW loadout including the strongest attachments to use and more.

Damage makes all the difference / Captured by VideoGamer
Low recoil is key / Captured by VideoGamer
After some initial testing, we’ve uncovered a build that improves all aspects of the Jackal PDW to minimise damage drop-off and to ensure high levels of accuracy when hurtling around the battlefield:
| Weapon part | Attachment | Level to unlock |
|---|---|---|
| Muzzle | Compensator | Level 18 |
| Barrel | Long Barrel | Level 13 |
| Magazine | Extended Mag II | Level 21 |
| Rear Grip | CQB Grip | Level 15 |
| Stock | Balanced Stock | Level 24 |
The Compensator is a surefire way of bringing down vertical recoil which ensures your accuracy is always high no matter how fast you’re flying around the map. To keep damage output high at all ranges, the Long Barrel is next. The extra damage range allows you to compete in long-distance duels. In some cases, you’ll even beat the LR 7.62.
The Jackal PDW faces stiff opposition but can dominate with these attachments equipped.
Reaction times in Black Ops 6 are a key ingredient to racking up plenty of kills throughout a match which is why the CQB Grip is an integral part of the best Jackal PDW loadout. The quicker sprint-to-fire, slide-to-fire, and dive-to-fire speed allow you to snap onto a target with ease. Last and by no means least is the Balanced Stock. Although there are other viable Stock attachments available, the quicker movement speed while aiming makes all the difference when attempting to outplay the opposition with some crafty sliding.
Best Black Ops 6 Jackal PDW perks and equipment
With the attachments ready for action, turning your attention to the perks and equipment on offer is the next step to building the very best Jackal PDW loadout possible. After testing numerous combinations, here’s what you should use:
Perks
- Perk 1: Ghost
- Perk 2: Assassin
- Perk 3: Gung-Ho
- Perk 4: Double Time
- Wildcard: Perk Greed
Ghost keeps you hidden from UAVs while moving, suiting the run-and-gun style of play perfectly. Gung-Ho is important to maintain high mobility thanks to the reduced movement penalties it provides. Assassin helps you track down enemies on killstreaks to take down. Lastly is Double Time for a much longer Tac Sprint allowing you to traverse the map with ease. All of these perks slot into the Enforcer category which activates the Combat Specialty. In the case of the best Jackal PDW loadout, you can earn a short buff in movement speed and health regeneration rate allowing you to run and gun the opposition without having to take cover when health is running low.
Equipment
- Lethal: Semtex
- Tactical: Stim Shot
- Field Upgrade: Trophy System
- Secondary: Grekhova
The Semtex is great for dealing plenty of explosive damage. You can also stick it to opponents for guaranteed eliminations. For maximum aggression, the Stim Shot is the best Tactical to use in Black Ops 6. With even more ways to regenerate health quickly, it’s very easy to go on a streak with the SMG in hand. In game modes such as Hardpoint where you’ll be bombarded with incoming grenades, the Trophy System comes in clutch thanks to its ability to block a few pieces of equipment while locking down the hill. Pick the Grekhova as your secondary gun option. With its auto-burst, you won’t skip a beat whenever you have to switch weapons.
