Call of Duty: Black Ops 6has dozens of weapons for players to unlock and master in its multiplayer and Zombies mode. The Jackal PDW is a rendition of the prototype Gepard PDW, featuring the weapon’s strange silhouette and small caliber rounds.

In-game, this weapon is a hard-hitting SMG that has excellent mobility stats and some of the best range values for its category. Spec this weapon for range, and you’ll have a devastating primary weapon for multiplayer. Today, we will be going over two of the best builds you may use on the Jackal PDW, covering base multiplayer as well as a Gunfighter build you can take into Zombies.

Stealth Jackal PDW Build

The Jackal PDW doesn’t have many issues you need to fix with attachments, so we can comfortably create a stealth loadout for this weapon. We recommend using aRanger ForegripandRecoil Springsto reign in the gun’s recoil slightly, making it easier to land hits at 20 meters. To make sure you’ll actually kill enemies that far, we use theLong Barrel.

For your last two attachments, we recommend running aSuppressorto stay off enemy radar and theErgonomic Gripto greatly reduce your slide-to-fire delay while also buffing your ADS speed. If you don’tslide or dive that often, feel free to use the Quickdraw Grip instead, trading the slide-to-fire delay for an extra 18% ADS speed.

Loadout Recommendations

Any stealth loadout isn’t complete without theRecon Specialty.This gives you a snapshot of the enemy team’s location whenever you spawn. For our three blue perks, we equipPerk Greedand useGhostto stay off enemy radar. Pair that withNinjato muffle our footstep audio, then equipVigilanceto ignore Counter-UAV killstreaks. For your second column perk, we recommendFast Handsfor instant weapon swap times, including your knife.

Equipment is down to preference and should be tailored to your favorite game modes. We useStimsto heal after a gunfight andSleeper Agentto go on killstreaks in respawn modes. Feel free to swap these items if your playstyle meshes better with other options.

Zombies Jackal PDW Build

This build also works in Multiplayer if you run the Gunfighter Wildcard.

If you want to bring the Jackal PDW into Zombies, you’ll want to buff the weapon’s mobility and magazine size as much as possible. We take the foundation of our stealth build and add a few more attachments, notablyExtended Mags IIto give the Jackal a 50-round magazine. From there, we run theInfiltrator Stockto drastically increase our ADS strafe speed andany opticto make landing headshots a little easier.

We also recommend you replace the Ergonomic Grip with aQuickdraw Gripinstead, trading slide-to-fire speed for more ADS speed. Speed is everything in Zombies, so you’ll want your ADS speed to be as low as possible.
