The best GS45 loadout in Black Ops 6

Remember, it's always faster to swap to your sidearm instead of reloading. But when you're killing Zombies, sometimes you just need two explosive pistols instead of one.

While often an afterthought when it comes to building a loadout in Call of Duty, a good pistol can truly turn the tide of battle on occasion, and the best loadout for the GS45 fits that bill.

When zooming around the map in Black Ops 6, every second and every shot counts thanks to omnimovement and everyone’s ability to quickly turn and fire on enemies. That extra second when you’re out of ammo in your SMG or AR can be mitigated by swapping to a solid handgun.

Not only that, but would you believe one of the best weapons in BO6 Zombies is a pistol? That’s right. Thanks to the Pack-a-Punch machine, you can turn an otherwise uninspiring sidearm into a Zombie-slaying machine capable of massive swaths of destruction. Say hello to the GS45.

Keep on reading for our picks for attachments to use on the best GS45 loadout in BO6.

  • Tactical: Concussion
  • Lethal: Frag
  • Field Upgrade: Trophy System
  • Perk 1: Ninja
  • Perk 2: Fast Hands
  • Perk 3: Double Time
  • Wildcard: Gunfighter

When equipped with Fast Hands in the Perk Two slot, this GS45 build is great for quickly swapping to when you’re running out of ammo in your primary weapon and still have some foes to kill. Your first shot recoil will be solid thanks to the Ported Compensator, and Rapid Fire means you’ll be able to empty the clip quickly.

The GS45 does not have the firepower of the Grekhova’s full-auto capabilities, nor the massive magazine and accuracy of the Stryder .22, but it’s still a very solid secondary weapon for BO6 multiplayer.

Zombies mode is where the GS45 truly shines, especially when using the Akimbo attachment in the Stock slot. When using this loadout, visit the Pack-a-Punch machine to turn the pistols into Mustang and Sally, the iconic dual wield pistols from the original Black Ops box art.

When Pack-a-Punched, these pistols deal massive, explosive damage, and have the ability to take down Zombies in one shot until high rounds. When you’re trying to rack up kills or XP, this is the loadout to go with.
