In this guide, we’ll provide you with some recommended weapon builds to try in your next match of multiplayer, including loadouts for the new Dresden 9mm submachine gun and the Merrick 556 assault rifle.
This final season of Black Ops 6 is themed around Call of Duty’s annual The Haunting event for Halloween.

The update added a spooky variant of the Nuketown map, and Warzone has nighttime versions of Verdansk and Rebirth Island. Make sure to check out all the highlights for Season 6 of Black Ops 6 and Warzone. The Season 6 patch notes can be viewed here.
All our recommended multiplayer loadouts can be viewed below, and we also have suggested Season 6 Warzone builds.
Merrick 556
Season 6’s Merrick 556 assault rifle is unlocked in the free version of battle pass, and this is a powerful gun for multiplayer. It definitely has a strong kick, but the recoil becomes very manageable once you add on the recommended attachments listed below.
Recommended Merrick 556 attachments:
- Muzzle: Compensator
- Barrel: Reinforced Barrel
- Underbarrel: Vertical Foregrip
- Magazine: Extended Mag I
- Fire Mod: Recoil Springs
ABR A1
The ABR A1 assault rifle is another powerful option for Season 6. This three-round burst rifle packs a punch. It has a built-in scope, so you don’t necessarily have to waste an attachment on an optic, but the recommended Kepler Microflex is a better choice for Black Ops 6’s small map designs. If you don’t mind the default scope, then you can swap the Kepler Microflex for the Recoil Springs Fire Mod for even more recoil control.
Recommended ABR A1 attachments:
- Optic: Kepler Microflex
- Muzzle: Suppressor
- Barrel: Reinforced Barrel
- Underbarrel: Vertical Foregrip
- Comb: Commander Riser
