Call of Duty Black Ops 6: Tips and tricks for the beta

Are you struggling to master movement? Are the bullets not quite hitting your intended target? Then these Black Ops 6 tips and tricks will certainly help you climb towards the very top of the scoreboard in multiplayer.

The sixth entry into the Black Ops series is packed with new weaponry and maps to learn in addition to Omnimovement, an all-new movement system allowing you to dive, sprint, and slide in every single direction. With so much newness, it can be a steep learning curve to get familiar with Black Ops 6’s mechanics. Thankfully, these tips and tricks will guide you in the right direction.

Black Ops 6 tips and tricks

After spending some time testing the various mechanics Black Ops 6 has to offer, there are some useful tidbits of information you need to know before jumping into action against other players and during the heat of battle. Without further ado, check out some handy tips and tricks to keep you among the top players on your team.

Learn the basics

Learning the basics of Omnimovement is key to starting your Black Ops 6 journey on the front foot. The new directional movement system feels strange to newcomers and those familiar with Call of Duty games so taking some time to follow the short tutorial is a great way of familiarising yourself with how it works.

It only takes a few minutes to complete and makes all the difference when all of your opponents are attempting to outplay you with a well-timed slide or mid-air dive down a staircase.

Omnimovement is easy to learn but tricky to master.

Use all the weapons

Black Ops 6 contains an extensive weapon arsenal and although there’s a chance a handful stand out from the crowd thanks to their superior performance. However, the strongest guns may not always suit your style of play.

With multiple categories designed for running and gunning or more passive gameplay, test all of the guns on offer to see which ones you like the best. The gunsmith is packed full of attachments and with many featuring little to no drawbacks, it’s easy to gear your favourite guns to compete with those towards the top of the meta.

Map mastery

Getting familiar with the layout of the maps and how they flow is just as important as unlocking the strongest attachments for a particular weapon. In Black Ops 6, the majority of battlegrounds feature a classic three-lane design meaning it’s easy to anticipate where the next fight could be coming from.

For example, the walkway overlooking the swimming pool on Skyline allows you to move from one side of the map to the other but it also acts as the perfect platform for you to dive into the water below to make a play worthy of any highlight reel.

Play the objective!

Aside from Team Deathmatch, playing the objective in Black Ops 6 is a surefire way of earning those hard-to-reach Scorestreaks along with helping your team defeat the opposition. Whether it’s sitting in a Hardpoint hill or making a last-ditch dive towards a Domination zone, locking down specific areas of the map goes a long way.

Objective players rarely get the credit they deserve but with score now required to earn the Chopper Gunner, it’s always worth clocking up some hill time in the heat of battle.
