Call of Duty Black Ops 6 brings back Gunfight mode from the 2019 Modern Warfare reboot. In this mode, you will form a two-person team with your friends or strangers, and compete with another two-person team on a small map in rounds of less than a minute. The winning condition is whichever team wins six rounds first.

Although there are many veteran players who have tried this mode before in Call of Duty series games, because CoD Black Ops 6 this brand new game also brings many new loadouts and weapons to players, the combat strategies used in previous games are not applicable to the current stage of the mode.

Don’t worry, this guide will introduce you to several combat strategies suitable for Gunfight mode in Black Ops 6. If you use them properly, you can even turn the tables when you are 5:0 behind.

1. Ping Frequently

In the multiplayer mode of CoD series of games, Ping may seem useless because of the complexity of the entire game content. But in Gunfight mode with only 4 players in total, Ping can play a very good role. When you use it to mark the exact location of the enemy on the map, your teammates will easily understand your offensive or defensive ideas, which are very important in Gunfight mode.

Perhaps you may prefer to rely on voice chat between teammates to communicate, but it is worth mentioning that you will not only explore this mode with your familiar game friends or real friends. When you team up with a stranger, Ping will be more convenient than voice chat.

2. Secondary Weapons Are Also Important

In the game, most players like to equip an Overkill Wildcard on their loadouts because it allows players to add a Secondary Weapon in battle. However, in a time-sensitive mode like Gunfight, many players often forget the existence of their Secondary Weapon.

This is absolutely not allowed, because the properties of Secondary Weapon are often completely opposite to those of your primary weapon. The correct approach should be to adjust the weapon you use in real time according to the current combat situation. For example, some small guns are more useful than sniper rifles or shotguns in small-scale maps, and pistols have better aiming accuracy than some large guns.

But sometimes, in some emergency situations, you may not be able to switch between your two weapons in time. You can practice more in Black Ops 6 Bot Lobbies so that you can deal with various critical situations.

3. Observe The Enemy’s Strategy

In fact, Gunfight mode is very similar to regular fighting games, so it is very easy to identify the behavior patterns of enemy players in such a small team. If the enemy successfully defeats you with a strategy, you can be sure that they will not use this strategy again because you already know how to crack this strategy.

But if this is the enemy’s only strategy, then it will be easy for you and your teammates to counterattack and take advantage of the situation. Similarly, the combat strategy you use can only be used once against other teams, so you must not rely too much on a camping spot or path in the battle.

4. Keep A Certain Distance From Your Teammates

Although the cooperation of the team is very important in Gunfight mode, in order to ensure the victory of the team, you should still keep a certain distance from your teammates when the two teams are engaged in fierce firefights, so that at least you will not be defeated together.

If you find that two members of your enemy have been tightly hugging together, you can use the strategy of feinting to the east and attacking to the west at this time - one person is responsible for attracting the enemy’s firepower, and the other goes around the enemy’s blind spot and defeats it.

5. Get Familiar With Your Loadouts

It is worth noting that you can only use a few loadouts in Gunfight mode, and these loadouts will be cycled multiple times in multiple rounds. So before the battle, if possible, you can try all the loadouts in BO6 Bot Lobbies and familiarize yourself with their properties, so that you can clearly understand which loadouts are more suitable for your play style and which are not.

Of course, after understanding the properties of loadouts, you also need to understand your own strengths and weaknesses, but often the weaknesses are more important than the strengths. For example, if you are a player who is accustomed to using melee weapons, then long-range weapons such as sniper rifles will not be your best choice.

But this does not mean that you can only use one of the two types of melee or long-range in Gunfight mode. You can try some different strategies many times, such as using a weapon that you are not familiar with but are willing to try at least once in battle, which can also make your combat ability stronger and more comprehensive.

The above are some tips for you to learn in Gunfight mode in CoD Black Ops 6. Although the tense and exciting atmosphere in this mode may not be acceptable to all players, it is very worth trying.
