Seven tips to be better at Call of Duty ****** Ops 6 – from professional players | Call of Duty

Let me guess: you recently bought Call of Duty: ****** Ops 6, strayed into the multiplayer mode and now you’re being mercilessly pummelled by hundreds of teenagers with suggestive usernames? Don’t worry, that’s perfectly normal. Call of Duty has always been the arcade twitchfest of the online shooter scene, but ****** Ops 6 has a whole new feel thanks to its omni-movement system, which lets you *****, roll and sprint in every direction. And the weapons have all been completely redesigned. It is, as Olivia Rodrigo put it, brutal out there.

So I asked two excellent pro players – Ethan “Fifakill” Pink and Liam “Jukeyz” James – for their tips. Instead of laughing and pointing at me, they agreed.

Use the right ****

If you’re just getting into CoD, stick with the ******** rifles or submachine guns [SMGs] – they suit the smaller maps and intense engagement speed in ****** Ops 6. “My favourite ******** rifle [AR] is probably the Model L, although it’s so good professionals have agreed not to use it – they’ve moved to the AMES,” says Jukeyz. “The SMG would be the Jackal which feels fun to use, or the KSV which is *******, but pretty over-powered”.

Meanwhile Fifakill recommends the Kompakt 92. “It has a super high ***** rate and very good movement speed, you can absolutely ******** with it. But if you’re more of a mid-range player, I’d say the Model L ******** rifle is a really good option. It will take a while to unlock, but it’s worth the effort – super TTK [time to *****] and very low recoil.”

Become a Gunsmith tinkerer

Gunsmith is where you can add modifications to your *******, and it’s vital for giving you the edge in encounters. “For the majority of players, it’s best to start by reducing recoil,” says Fifakill. “Focus on attachments that reduce horizontal recoil – if the **** is bouncing up or down it’s pretty simple to correct. But with left and right, while you’re trying to track an ****** player, that’s more difficult.” Jukeyz prioritises aim-down sight speed (how quickly you can get the **** into an aiming position), but also suggests attaching a vertical foregrip to counter recoil. “I’d also suggest the Gunfighter wildcard,” adds Fifakill. “It gives you eight attachments per ****, so you can have it all: better movement, a ******* mag and less recoil.”

Perk yourself up

****** Ops 6 allows you to choose from 20 perks which give you buffs in specific areas. They’re split into three categories – Enforcer (red), Recon (blue) and Strategist (green) – and if you pick three from the same type you get a bonus speciality perk. “I’ve been running the red perks because that gives you a super speed bonus and you get extra health re-gen after you make a ***** – it really benefits you if you’re trying to run and ****,” says Fifakill.

“If you’re trying to push for ****** run three red perks: I like Gung ***, ********* and Double Time. If you’re a slower player I’d go for blue perks and the speciality for that is useful. And if you’re an objective player then run the three green perks.”

Jukeyz favours Dexterity, ********* and then Double Time: “And because they’re all red, it gives you the Enforcer speciality, which means ******** enemies gets you a temp buff to movement speed and health re-gen. It’s perfect for ARs or SMGs.”

Maximise your XP

Earning experience points [XP] unlocks new items and scorestreaks so levelling up fast is a good idea. “Use BankRoll as perk three,” suggests Jukeyz. “Once you’re getting double or triple ******, you’ll unlock UAV (Unmanned Aerial Vehicle), Counter UAV and HARP (High-Altitude Reconnaissance Plane) a lot quicker. If you have all three activated at once, you get so much Assist XP from teammates using them all over the map. It’s constant XP.”

Use a monitor and headphones

Stop playing on the giant OLED television in your living room: the response time will be slower than a dedicated monitor and it’s hard to see everything on the screen while also checking your minimap and ammo count. Both our ***** use a 27-inch monitor, with a 1440p resolution and at least 144Hz refresh rate. Also, switch from speakers to a headset. “I use JBLs,” says Fifakill. “But as long as you have a headset that has decent spatial audio you should be fine, and there are in-game settings you can tweak, for example, enabling Dolby Atmos which will help you to hear where footsteps are coming from.”

Be a team player

Call of Duty multiplayer is a team game, so you need to think tactically even when you’re with a bunch of strangers. “If you really want to win an Objective mode (a multiplayer mode such as Control or Hardpoint which has a specific goal) on a public server, focus on spawn points,” says Fifakill. “It’s about going ahead to a new area where you know an objective is going to be and try to lock down the spawn point at that position for your team. It’s not the most glamorous role, but it’s useful. It means when the objective arrives, your team is going to be spawning close by, so you can get reinforcements a lot faster.”

Jukeyz recommends a more social approach. “A bit of communication is a good start,” he says. “Who’s watching what, who’s taking the hard point. Get friends to play with you, or start chatting to people you meet in public servers who you think are good. Get a bit of structure with your gameplay – even shouting ‘left’ or ‘right’ (to indicate threats or where to run), is a start.”

Use the minimap

Fifakill reckons he spends 70% of a match watching the minimap, which becomes a lot more viable once you’ve learned the maps inside out. Watch for red markers which show the position of rival players and ****** *****; watch where your teammates are running, listen out for anything they ‘ping’ (mark on the map). Or as Jukeyz puts it: “pay attention to everything”.
