[b][u]MULTIPLAYER WEAPONS, LOADOUTS[/u][/b] [b]Loadouts[/b] [img]https://clan.cloudflare.steamstatic.com/images//42501705/ae7b20cd52945147440257acedf789ce2adc2a4d.jpg[/img] Your pre-match Loadouts screen, which allows for up to ten total Loadouts to be created, renamed, duplicated, or deleted, is based around a weapons bench you can see in the background, behind the Loadout UI. This is updated as you access each part of your Loadout. Your Loadout – also known as Create-a-Class – is comprised of the following: [list] [*][b]Primary Weapon[/b][/*] [*][b]Secondary Weapon[/b][/*] [*][b]Melee Weapon[/b][/*] [*][b]Tactical[/b][/*] [*][b]Lethal[/b][/*] [*][b]Field Upgrade[/b][/*] [*][b]Perks[/b][/*] [*][b]Combat Specialty[/b][/*] [*][b]Wildcard[/b][/*][/list] [b]Primary Weapons[/b] [img]https://clan.cloudflare.steamstatic.com/images//42501705/8f76acd5fa11ff9241981e3cbcee2ec23a73f8e2.jpg[/img] Your main, and usually hardest-hitting weapon, used for most of your time in combat. Gunsmith is available for this weapon. Choose from: [list] [*][b]Assault Rifles [/b][/*] [*][b]SMGs[/b][/*] [*][b]Shotguns[/b][/*] [*][b]LMGs[/b][/*] [*][b]Marksman Rifles[/b][/*] [*][b]Sniper Rifles[/b][/*][/list] [img]https://clan.cloudflare.steamstatic.com/images//42501705/a20669139d1a845e50ef71adf971f83736491843.jpg[/img] [b]Weapon Examples: [/b]Expect 12 Primary Weapons to be available to use during the [i]Black Ops 6 [/i]Beta. Vault Edition players can also try out Mastercrafted versions of some of the most potent weapons on offer, as follows: [b]Assault Rifle: AMES 85[/b] [b]Vault Edition Mastercraft Blueprint “Plague Doctor”[/b] [img]https://clan.cloudflare.steamstatic.com/images//42501705/c51a9cf7630ab75740b989efb409f74dfaa6d3f4.jpg[/img] [i]Full-auto assault rifle. Impressive accuracy and a suitable rate of fire makes this an excellent weapon for mid to long range engagements.[/i] [b]SMG: Jackal PDW[/b] [b]Vault Edition Mastercraft Blueprint “Scourge”[/b] [img]https://clan.cloudflare.steamstatic.com/images//42501705/d01b6cea584241b7d21f79eb7a1096f781eff17c.jpg[/img] [i]Full-auto SMG. Great mobility and handling make this an easy choice for Operators who aggressively seek CQB engagements.[/i] [b]Shotgun: Marine SP[/b] [b]Vault Edition Mastercraft Blueprint “Unrepentant”[/b] [img]https://clan.cloudflare.steamstatic.com/images//42501705/478991bfb46b92bf37bc4154c1bdc17914ab1328.jpg[/img] [i]Pump-action shotgun. Powerful and versatile with a short cycling time that allows for rapid target acquisition. Hand loaded with 1-shot kill potential in close quarters.[/i] [b]Sniper Rifle: LR 7.62[/b] [b]Vault Edition Mastercraft Blueprint “Brainstorm”[/b] [img]https://clan.cloudflare.steamstatic.com/images//42501705/d2b10d7165bb6750f8620b667edb20ce608ea3b3.jpg[/img] [i]Bolt-action sniper rifle. The LR 7.62 delivers high damage with minimal recoil and slower handling. One-shot kill to the head, chest, and arms. Focus while ADS to steady.[/i] [b]Secondary Weapons[/b] [img]https://clan.cloudflare.steamstatic.com/images//42501705/9ec7d4839c859a6bbd7113273a04de807f626fce.jpg[/img] Your back-up weapon, used in emergency or context-specific situations. Gunsmith is available for this weapon. Choose from: [list] [*][b]Pistols[/b][/*] [*][b]Launchers[/b][/*][/list] [b]Weapon Example: [/b]Expect three Secondary Weapons to be available to use during the Black Ops 6 Beta, including this impressive sidearm: [b]GS45[/b] [i]Semi-auto pistol. The GS45’s auto round makes the sidearm unmatched in close range stopping power.[/i] [b]Melee Weapons[/b] [img]https://clan.cloudflare.steamstatic.com/images//42501705/f117b14982c7e0edf8d3ba7984ac2dd6db240133.jpg[/img] Your third weapon is a close-quarters armament with no ranged ordnance. Gunsmith is available for this weapon (Cosmetics only). [b]Weapon Example: [/b]Expect the Knife to be available to use during the [i]Black Ops 6 [/i]Beta. Vault Edition players can also try out a Mastercraft version of this blade: [b]Knife[/b] [b]Vault Edition Mastercraft Blueprint “Mind’s Eye”[/b] [img]https://clan.cloudflare.steamstatic.com/images//42501705/2338682518bc1bdc71454a268482b1c1b075035d.jpg[/img] [i]One hit kill. Military-issue tactical knife well-suited for CQC scenarios where stealth, speed, and lethality are required.[/i] [b]NOTE: MELEE WEAPON USE: [/b]As you’d expect your Melee involves the same key or button press as Melee (for controllers, this is the Right thumbstick). Tap this for a gun butt melee. Hold to bring out your Melee weapon, which will remain equipped until you swap back to your Primary or Secondary. [b]PLEASE NOTE: [/b]For a full list of all weapons and equipment available throughout the Beta, ensure you check out the free and official Black Ops 6 Guides. [b]Tacticals[/b] [img]https://clan.cloudflare.steamstatic.com/images//42501705/1a611ee2f90e86f5ef3cc261ed91bb96d2ede640.jpg[/img] Limited-per-life and reusable items that range from intel-gathering sensors to healing or disorientation devices, designed to offer a non-lethal advantage in combat. [b]Equipment Examples: [/b]Expect five Tacticals to be available during the [i]Black Ops 6[/i] Beta. Along with the Concussion and Tactical (Stun) grenades and the Stim Shot that refreshes your health and Tactical Sprint, be sure to try out the Prox Alarm; a set of two sticky alarms that ring and flash when an enemy is near, with tripped alarms showing up on allied minimaps. [b]Lethals[/b] [img]https://clan.cloudflare.steamstatic.com/images//42501705/d81b25a2a93e60a574fce95ad90cf197ac5b5998.jpg[/img] Limited-per-life items that harm enemies, usually via an explosion. [b]Equipment Examples: [/b]Expect five Lethals to be available during the Black Ops 6 Beta, including the Frag, Sticky, and Thermo grenades, as well as the trusty Combat Axe. For perhaps the biggest explosion in this category, try out the Blast Trap, a planted explosive device that detonates when enemies approach. [b]Field Upgrades[/b] [img]https://clan.cloudflare.steamstatic.com/images//42501705/50cc80ec577796b8bb425f523a57199399c7d1b2.jpg[/img] Impressive tactical or lethal devices that are powerful and recharge during a match after use. [b]Equipment Examples: [/b]Expect five Field Upgrades to be available during the [i]Black Ops 6 [/i]Beta, with some being familiar (the Trophy System), some being a hybrid from previous games (the Assault Pack that drops extra ammo and equipment to resupply your team), and some well-suited to Black Ops, like Sleeper Agent. This allows you to infiltrate the enemy team, appearing as a friendly to them for a short duration. Kills extend the time you’re in disguise, though gunfire and closeness to the enemy reveals your true identity! [b]Perks, Specialties, and Wildcards[/b] The [i]Black Ops 6[/i] Multiplayer Perk system brings innovation, familiarity, and streamlining to your initial choices when choosing the three abilities you bring to each MP match, with added depth as you ponder the advantages of Combat Specialties, as well as the Wildcard feature you can pick to fully flesh out your Operator. [img]https://clan.cloudflare.steamstatic.com/images//42501705/b347544d9c37f7cbfc731487a8bed7ef22a573af.jpg[/img] [b]Perk 1, 2, 3: [/b]You have a selection from all the available Perks to choose from in one of three different slots. This might be “Assassin” ([i]Enemies on a kill streak get a unique minimap marker and drop Bounty Packs when killed. Pick up the Packs for more Score) [/i]in Perk 1 or Double Time[i] (Greatly increased duration of Tactical Sprint) [/i]in Perk 3. You pick one Perk per slot, for a total of three Perks that activate immediately at the start of every match. [b]“Combat Specialty”: [/b]In addition to the name and combat capabilities, each Black Ops 6 Perk has color associated with it. This visual reference denotes the Combat Specialty the Perk offers, but only if grouped with two other Perks of the same color (or Specialty). [list] [*]For example, “Engineer” (Perk 2) is color-coded blue, meaning it grants the Recon Combat Specialty, but only if your two other Perks (from Perk selections 1 and 3) are also color-coded blue (i.e., they are also grant the “Recon” Specialty).[/*] [*]Choose three Perks of the same color in slots 1, 2, and 3, and you’re able to pick an additional Specialty.[/*][/list] [b][u]Combat Specialties[/u][/b] Equipping three Perks of the same Combat Specialty (Enforcer, Recon, or Strategist, denoted by the red, blue, or green color) will activate its Combat Specialty in-game. There are three, which are automatically added to the Specialty slot. If your three Perks are of differing colors (or Specialties), no Specialty is granted. The Black Ops 6 Beta has the following Specialties available: [b]Enforcer (Red)[/b] [i]Killing enemies grants a temporary buff to movement speed and health regeneration rate.[/i] [b]Recon (Blue)[/b] [i]Enemies can be seen through walls for a short time after respawn, a HUD edge indicator flashes when an enemy is outside your view, leave no death skulls when killing enemies.[/i] [b]Strategist (Green)[/b] [i]Earn a score bonus for objectives and destroying enemy content, see enemy content through walls a short distance, deploy equipment and Field Upgrades faster.[/i] [b][u]Wildcards[/u][/b] [img]https://clan.cloudflare.steamstatic.com/images//42501705/6a2fb220a6ef18a4917d1dee5f1d6d2912e6843c.jpg[/img] Lastly, you can further augment your favorite Loadouts by adding a single Wildcard. Last utilized in [i]Black Ops Cold War[/i], these allow you to add a modifier that would normally bend or break the rules of the Create-a-Class system. The [i]Black Ops 6[/i] Beta has the following Wildcards examples available (with more at launch): [b]Overkill[/b] [i]Equip any non-melee weapon in Primary and Secondary slots.[/i] [b]Gunfighter[/b] [i]Receive three extra attachment points for your Primary Weapon.[/i] [b]Perk Greed[/b] [i]Equip an extra Perk.[/i] [b][u]Scorestreaks[/u][/b] [img]https://clan.cloudflare.steamstatic.com/images//42501705/e98b01956a3a866257cac4a0b093445d4b237c18.jpg[/img] As well as bringing a Loadout to battle, you’re able to choose three Scorestreaks, some of the most powerful recon, tactical, or destructive tools at your disposal. These are earned by increasing your score count during a single life, as score resets if you die. Equip the Dispatcher (Green) Perk, and the score required to access each non-lethal Scorestreak is reduced. [i]Black Ops 6[/i] also has no limitations to the three Scorestreaks you can choose from: Pick any three you like. Examples include the following, which will be available in the Beta: [list] [*][b]Scout Pulse: [/b][i]Radar ping that reveals nearby enemies on the user’s minimap.[/i][/*] [*][b]RC-XD: [/b][i]Deploys a small remote controlled, remote detonated explosive vehicle.[/i][/*] [*][b]Hellstorm: [/b][i]Control a long-range missile with brake and boost capabilities and secondary missiles.[/i][/*] [*][b]Interceptors: [/b][i]Call in a fighter jet squadron that eliminates enemy air targets.[/i][/*] [*][b]Chopper Gunner: [/b][i]Take control of the door gun turret on an assault chopper.[/i][/*][/list] [b][u]OPERATORS AND FACTIONS[/u][/b] [img]https://clan.cloudflare.steamstatic.com/images//42501705/0c890f72a848f94b1201dbba7ab49e003355a07d.jpg[/img] A partial roster of Operators has been unredacted: These are in-game characters you can play as and are chosen in the associated menu. Additional Operators will be available at launch, but here are the Operators you can pick from during the [i]Black Ops 6[/i] Beta, from both the Rogue Black Ops and Crimson One Factions: [b]Rogue Black Ops[/b] [img]https://clan.cloudflare.steamstatic.com/images//42501705/65be8034bec65205db551d4a047ceeee0f401f93.jpg[/img] [list] [*]Adler (Vault Edition)[/*] [*]Park (Vault Edition)[/*] [*]Westpoint[/*] [*]Nazir[/*] [*]Bayan[/*] [*]Marshall[/*][/list] [b]Crimson One[/b] [img]https://clan.cloudflare.steamstatic.com/images//42501705/d324b336a7f73584a52a9aa7a7ac2f5c96a6e51d.jpg[/img] [list] [*]Brutus (Vault Edition)[/*] [*]Klaus (Vault Edition)[/*] [*]Caine[/*] [*]Toro[/*] [*]Bailey[/*] [*]Stone[/*][/list] [b]Note!
