From the Akimbo to the DRI-11 Beam-smasher, here are the best weapons to use in the Zombie Mode of Call of Duty Black Ops 6 to survive as many waves as possible.
Surviving the numerous waves in the Zombie Mode of Call of Duty Black Ops 6 is a genuine challenge. While players might manage to fend off the initial waves with melee attacks, the difficulty ramps up dramatically, and standard submachine guns won’t cut it for long. Upgrading weapons or unlocking more powerful ones becomes essential. Here’s our tier list of the best weapons for Zombie Mode.
Tier S: The Miracle Weapons of Zombie Mode
Unsurprisingly, the best weapons for taking down zombies are the legendary “Miracle” weapons. The catch is that they take a while to obtain (if you’re motivated enough to craft them) and are very rare in mystery chests. However, the laser pistol can be acquired fairly easily through secret vaults on both maps: the Armory on Terminus and the Bank on Liberty Falls. You’ll need to collect loot keys (which drop from larger monsters) and keep using them until you get the desired weapon.
Available only on Terminus
Available only on Liberty Falls
Available on both maps
Tier A: Solid Choices for Taking Out Zombies
If you lack the patience or luck to acquire the miracle weapons, the best “normal” weapons you can find include the “Sally & Forth”, the ASG-89, and the C9 due to their superb damage, fire rate, and accuracy—all of which enhance your chances of survival.
The dual pistols are unlocked after level 28 (unlocking the GS45 pistol) and need to be upgraded to level 31 for the Akimbo attachment.
Then, equip your class with the GS45 Akimbo, gather 5000 essences to apply in the Sacred Punch, and you’re set!
