Black Ops 6 has several strong and fun SMGs to play with, but there’s one that stands apart from the pack as the best option when it comes to dealing with enemies in close proximity: the PP-919.
SMG classes are built for running and gunning, moving from objective to objective and kill to kill, and the best BO6 option right now is the PP-919. With BO6 being built around movement and out-maneuvering your opponents, SMGs may reign supreme depending on the map and game type.
With this loadout for the PP-919, no one will be out-maneuvering you unless they’re just better at it. This build lessens the gap a bit, and with some practice, you could be posting omnimovement clips online that are just plain embarrassing for the other players.
Here’s our pick for the best PP-919 build in BO6 multiplayer.
Best PP-919 class in BO6
This build makes the PP-919 an early candidate for the best close-range weapon in BO6. It absolutely shreds at distances up to 15 meters, and its attachments also fully lean into omnimovement capabilities, making it a handful to deal with up close in multiple ways.
Slide, dive, drop, and sprint your way to many CQC fight battles with this loadout.
Best PP-919 build in BO6
| Slot | Attachment |
|---|---|
| Muzzle | Ported Compensator (First Shot Recoil Control, Horizontal Recoil Control, Vertical Recoil Control) |
| Barrel | Reinforced Barrel (Damage Range, Bullet Velocity) |
| Magazine | Fast Mag II (Aim Down Sight Speed, Reload Quickness, Sprint to Fire Speed) |
| Rear Grip | Ergonomic Grip (Slide to Fire Speed, Dive to Fire Speed, Aim Down Sight Speed) |
| Stock | Balanced Stock (Aim Walking Movement Speed, Movement Speed, Hipfire Movement Speed, Strafing Movement Speed) |
This build is potentially the best SMG build in BO6 shortly after launch, especially when considering maneuverability and and the Handling stat, which is increased tremendously thanks to multiple attachments.
The PP-919’s main fault is its recoil. As you can see below, the recoil pattern is a bit unpredictable relative to other SMGs, so this weapon is best-suited for close range engagements only. It will begin to struggle at mid range and long range, but the recoil is controllable:
Keep this in mind when playing BO6, as this loadout could be highly map-dependent. If you can’t find your way within close range of the enemy, you may find yourself getting outgunned by assault rifles or other SMGs that offer better range.
But when it comes to dealing with enemies in close proximity, like in the Face Off playlist, this weapon is simply one of the best options in the game right now once you level it up and unlock the attachments we’ve equipped.
