All weapons in Black Ops 6 – All guns, melee weapons, and launchers in BO6

A Call of Duty game is remembered by several things: its maps, its campaign, its third co-op mode, and most importantly, its weapons that can be used in all of them.

Black Ops 6 has a mixture of modern day and 1990s-era weapons, which makes sense because the game is set during the Gulf War period. New weapons will be added over subsequent seasonal drops, but even at launch, there’s a decent variety of guns to choose from.

So much of the CoD journey is memorable from the first few weeks and months after launch, leveling up new guns and finding out what works, what doesn’t, and what you want to use in Ranked Play, Zombies, or Warzone. That’s where the fun really begins.

Here’s a list of weapons in Black Ops 6 so far, as the list will grow exponentially over time.

All guns in Black Ops 6

Below you can find the full list of weapons available in Black Ops 6. This list will evolve over time, but these are all the guns currently available to be used in multiplayer and Zombies.

A lot of these weapons are familiar, and some return from past entries in the series but with different names altogether, according to the leaks. There should be a good mix of new weapons, old favorites, and reimagined guns from throughout the franchise, especially recent Black Ops games like Black Ops Cold War.
