The C9 is Black Ops 6‘s take on the classic MP5 SMG, which is one of Call of Duty’s most iconic weapons. Just like its predecessors, it’s an extremely powerful close-range weapon with a fast fire rate and excellent mobility, especially with the right attachments.

Best C9 attachments in Black Ops 6
- Muzzle: Suppressor
- Barrel: Reinforced Barrel
- Magazine: Extended Mag II
- Rear Grip: Ergonomic Grip
- Fire Mods: Rapid Fire
Kicking off our best C9 loadout in Black Ops 6 is the Suppressor, which keeps you off the minimap when shooting and has no negative effects. The Reinforced Barrel boosts the gun’s damage range and bullet velocity, making it stronger when outside of close-quarters combat.
Then, the Extended Mag II is a no-brainer, as it gives you 50 rounds instead of 30, while the Ergonomic Grip improves mobility so that you can stay on target while jumping, sliding, and diving.
Lastly, Rapid Fire improves the C9’s already great rate of fire, making it more deadly in close-combat situations, as you can get more shots off in a shorter period.
Best Perks, Wildcard & Equipment for C9
- Perk 1: Gung-Ho
- Perk 2: Double Time
- Perk 3: Dexterity
- Perk 4: Ghost
- Wildcard: Perk Greed
- Lethal: Frag Grenade
- Tactical: Stim Shot
- Field Upgrade: Trophy System
When it comes to Perks, I love the Enforcer Perk Combat Specialty, so Gung-Ho, Double Time, and Dexterity all combine nicely to not only improve mobility but also provide the bonus, which regens your health after getting a kill. Thanks to the Perk Greed Wild Card, you can then select Ghost as a fourth Perk, which keeps you hidden whenever an enemy gets a UAV.
To support your attack, Frag Grenades are always a great option when enemies are on an objective or in a dangerous position. Stim Shots will allow you to stay in the fight for longer too, regenerating your health much faster.
Lastly, for the Field Upgrade, the Trophy System means you can support your team and protect them by blocking enemy Tacticals and Lethals.
Best Secondary for C9
To support the C9, the Stryder .22 is the best Secondary option for finishing off kills when you need to reload or you run out of ammo. It’s semi-automatic, so you’ll need a fast trigger finger to get the most out of it. If you don’t have it unlocked yet, any Pistol makes for a good backup to the C9.
How to unlock C9 in Black Ops 6
You will immediately unlock the C9 once you gain access to Custom Loadouts at Level 4. You won’t have any issues reaching this level and will probably get it done in a few matches of multiplayer. You can also rank up in ZOmbies, so if you prefer slaying the undead, head into Terminus or Liberty Falls.
Is the C9 any good in Black Ops 6?
Yes, The C9 is a meta SMG in Black Ops 6, which may be surprising since it’s unlocked so quickly, however, you still need to play to its strengths. It’s not overpowered, but it excels at close range, so don’t try to use it outside of its limits.
Best alternatives to the C9 in Black Ops 6
If you’re looking for another dominant SMG, Jackal PDW is an amazing choice, with high damage and clean iron sights. If you want to move away from close quarters, give the AK-74 a go, as it’s a heavy-hitting Assault Rifle that shreds in the mid-to-long ranges.
