Of the SMGs available in Call of Duty: Black Ops 6, the Tanto .22 may be the most deceptive at first.
“Slow-firing, but hard-hitting,” according to its description, the Tanto is still an “easy to handle SMG with impressive mid-range performance.” Slow-firing SMG is the key takeaway here, and it’s something to keep in mind before you play even one match with the Tanto.
Here’s what we have to suggest for the best Tanto .22 build in BO6.
Best Tanto .22 loadout and class setup in BO6
The Tanto is a solid SMG that needs some help in the Gunsmith, a lot of patience while leveling, and some persistence to bring it to its maximum potential. But once leveled and equipped with proper attachments, the Tanto .22 becomes a blast to use.
This gun’s fire rate is shockingly slow the first time you use it. Once you get used to it and then upgrade it, though, it’s one that can find its way into the meta quite easily.
Best Tanto .22 build in BO6
- Muzzle: Compensator
- Barrel: Reinforced Barrel
- Underbarrel: Ranger Foregrip
- Rear Grip: Ergonomic Grip
- Fire Mods: Rapid Fire
The Tanto .22’s potential is truly unlocked when you obtain the Rapid Fire attachment for the Fire Mods slot. This is when the weapon’s high firepower really comes into play, once it has a fire rate that is competitive with some of the other SMGs in the game.
Until then, the Tanto loses out to guns like the Jackal PDW or C9 up close thanks to a faster fire rate, equating to higher DPS. Unfortunately, Rapid Fire is not unlocked until the Tanto is level 38, so use another attachment in its stead until then.
Like all other SMGs, the build is also focused on increasing Damage Range, Bullet Velocity, Mobility, and especially Recoil Control, as Rapid Fire will make it kick more than normal.

Equipment
- Pistol: GS45
- Melee: Knife
- Tactical: Concussion

Perks and class setup
- Perk one: Scavenger
- Perk two: Gung-Ho
- Perk three: Bank Roll
- Perk four: Ninja
- Wildcard: Perk Greed
- Specialty: Enforcer
It’s time to get aggressive and use omnimovement to its full capability with this class setup, which accentuates fast moves, fast kills, and quick scorestreaks. It’s built around the Enforcer Perk Specialty:
- Enforcer: “Killing enemies grants a temporary buff to movement speed and health regen rate.”
With three red perks equipped, Enforcer is enabled, allowing you to really run and gun like a speed demon in BO6. Utilize your sprint, slides, and dives while dealing out heavy damage up close with the Tanto and its increased fire rate for some killfeed-filling sprees.
