In CoD Black Ops 6, which was just released last month, the developers have delivered on what they promised to the majority of players: adding some exciting new maps and some very powerful weapons, but most importantly, the game mechanics have been enhanced. Among the many maps in this game, Payback has become one of the best maps in the game with its narrow corridors and open back areas.
But whether you use the strategy of eliminating enemies from the broken foundation overflow in Payback Map or preparing to attack from the flank of the outdoor courtyard, weapons are very important to you. Because of these terrain factors, you should consider the terrain adaptability, mobility and versatility of the weapon when choosing a weapon.
If you don’t know how to choose, don’t worry, this guide will introduce you to several weapons that are most suitable for Payback Map, so that you can quickly choose the most suitable weapon according to your play style, and finally easily clear all the zombies in this map.
Jackal PDW
Unlocking Method: Reach Level 43 or get it from Vault Edition Upgrade
If you are looking for a high-speed and brutal war in Payback Map, Jackal PDW will be your best choice. With 71 DMG and 682 Fire Rate RPM, you can rush to the enemy in a very fast way and kill the target enemy before it has time to react.
At the same time, this excellent maneuverability and powerful firepower can give you a significant advantage in the narrow corridors of this map. Of course, in the open back area, there are dense bunkers, and Jackal PDW can also perform very well.
This style of combat is a bit difficult for new players, though, and you may need to practice a few times in CoD Black Ops 6 Bot Lobbies to get comfortable with the Jackal PDW.
PU-21
Unlocking Method: Reach Level 4
As mentioned earlier, the unique terrain of Payback Map requires you to choose a weapon with versatility, and PU-21 is one of them. Its 26 DMG and 749 Fire Rate RPM allow you to maintain super high accuracy while continuously shooting, and ultimately achieve the goal of accurately killing the zombie groups that threaten you.
On top of that, you’ll need PU-21’s very long range to see what the zombies are doing when you’re taking cover in the back areas. Additionally, the weapon’s minimal recoil and manageable rate of fire allow you to control the weapon’s spray and make precise kills while on the move.
By the way, if you combine PU-21 with a good Operator Perk Set, your flexibility on this map is very high, and your damage capability won’t change.
Model L
Unlocking Method: Reach Level 40
If you want to add a weapon to your arsenal that packs a punch and is perfect for multiplayer combat, Model L is the way to go. In the tight interiors and narrow corridors of Payback Map, Model L’s close-range attack will allow you to take out multiple enemies at once.
While it’s a heavy weapon, it makes up for it with its 124 DMG and 600 Fire Rate RPM. If you prefer a precision and raw stopping power style over speed, this is a great addition.
AEK-973
Unlocking Method: Reach Level 34
Players familiar with COD series must be familiar with AEK-973’s super balance and control. Although its rate of fire is lower than the previous weapons, it is fortunately compensated by its excellent accuracy and almost no recoil.
Since some mid- and long-range engagements often occur on the edge of Payback Map, AEK-973’s super power and range allow you to defend your position and kill enemies easily.
Most importantly, AEK-973 can switch to three-shot and burst, and its 168 DMG and 342 Fire Rate RPM allow you to cause super destructive precision shots to the enemy.
KSV
Unlocking Method: Reach Level 7
As a top submachine gun in CoD Black Ops 6, KSV can have an outstanding performance in many modes and maps, not to mention medium-sized maps like Payback Map. If you add some suitable attachments to this weapon, KSV can even have better aiming speed and accuracy than the most powerful assault rifles.
KSV’s 58 DMG and 800 Fire Rate RPM allow you to kill enemies and zombies freely, boldly and quickly, and allow you to grow rapidly in this high-speed and exciting combat state, which is also the game experience that Payback Map, a terrain-rich map, wants to bring you.
It is worth reminding you here that in order to maximize the potential of KSV, you may need to adopt a fast and aggressive play style, so that you can fully utilize its fast operation to deal with high damage output.
XM4
Unlocking Method: Reach Level 4
Finally, we will introduce one of the most iconic and adaptable weapons in CoD Black Ops 6, XM4. Its controllable recoil and very stable accuracy allow you to attack the enemy unexpectedly at an unexpected angle during exploration, and use the flank of Payback Map to launch a second attack on the enemy.
So in general, XM4 will definitely be the best weapon choice in the Payback Map, because the stable performance of this weapon under continuous shooting and the special terrain in this map can be very cleverly combined, so that you can easily complete clearing zombies.
In addition, 58 DMG and 800 Fire Rate RPM allow you to use XM4 for medium-range attacks or close-range ambushes, and you can get the result you want most - strong suppression of the enemy.
The above are the best weapon choices for exploring Payback Map in this CoD Black Ops 6. I believe that with your reasonable use, these weapons will definitely make your exploration process easier. If you have questions about exploring other maps, you are welcome to discuss with many players in IGGM Discord. You may even have a chance to get some free game products here, so good luck!
