Ranging from mobile submachine guns (SMG) armed with a blistering rate of fire to snipers that excel in long-distance duels, there’s something to suit your style of play perfectly.
The anticipated beta for Treyarch’s latest offering features a small slice of the full weapon arsenal that will feature when the game launches later this year. For now, here are all of the confirmed weapons appearing in multiplayer.

The Black Ops 6 weapon arsenal is shaping up to be one of the largest.
Black Ops 6 weapon categories
Treyarch has confirmed Black Ops 6 will feature a total of six different weapon categories for you to master. Check out the full list below:
- Assault rifles – Best at mid-range engagements, mostly fully automatic, and average mobility.
- SMGs – Excel in close-quarters combat, the majority are fully-automatic, and possess high mobility.
- Shotguns – Dominant in extreme close-range combat, variety of firing mechanisms, and strong mobility levels.
- LMGs – Ideal for mid and long-range battles, huge magazines, and poor mobility.
- Marksman rifles – Strong in mid and long-range gunfights, a variety of semi-auto and bolt-action mechanisms, and suit aggressive playstyles.
- Sniper rifles – Perfect for extremely long-range fights, semi-auto and bolt-action, and reward passive play.
- Pistols – Great at close ranges, variety of firing mechanisms, and the fastest weapons to swap to.
- Launchers – Huge explosive damage, low mobility, and capable of destroying enemy Scorestreaks.
- Melee – Within touching distance of the enemy. The fastest mobility of the entire arsenal.
The most notable omission is the battle rifle category which made its debut in 2022’s Modern Warfare 2 acting as a hybrid between an assault and marksman rifle. Although there are fewer categories to select, the chances of Treyarch adding even more weapons to each category are high meaning variety is guaranteed.
