If you didn’t use the first few days after theCall of Duty: Black Ops 6launch to reach maximum prestige, fully level your weapons, and get the Dark Matter camo, you’ll want to take part in Nuketown 24/7. As one of the smallest, fastest-paced maps in the game, you can rack up tons of character, weapon, and battle pass XP in short order, and the right loadout makes it easy.
Speed and objective play are the orders of the day if you want to get the most experience, and the Nuketown 24/7 loadouts presented here will help you do that.
Best Weapons To Use
For an exhaustive list of the best weapons in Black Ops 6,check out ourweapon tier list. All of them can dominate entire lobbies if you have good aim, movement, and teammates who can at least shoot back. Of that list, some of the easiest to use are:
XM4
Assault Rifle
The starting AR remainsone of the best weaponsin Black Ops 6, withsolid damage, ease of use, and few, if any, bad builds.
AS Val
The AS VAL mightunlock at level 55, and it might hurt for damage output at a distance, but within its optimal range,few weapons can compete, especially if you equip the Rapid Fire attachment.
C9
SMG
The starting SMG is also one of the best weapons in Black Ops 6, though its range is, of course, quite a bit shorter than the XM4s. Still, the C9 is agreat workhorse weapon and can obliterate lobbies with ease.
Tanto .22
As long as you can hit your shots,the Tanto .22 will take any enemy in the game out in three bulletsat close range. Just know that its slow rate of fire heavily punishes missing.
AEK-973
Marksman Rifle
Consistency, your name is AEK-973.This gun can one-burst enemies from a frightening distance, and its burst delay is short enough that a missed bullet or two isn’t the worst deal in the world.
SVD
Sniper Rifle
You’ll need to playjusta bit differently to use the SVD, as its slow rate of fire punishes bad aim, but itone-shots enemies from the chest and up, and that can get you out of more than a few sticky situations.
You can use any weapon on Nuketown 24/7 to great effect, even Pistols, LMGs, and melee weapons, but know you’ll need to play a bit slower or more carefully to get the best results. Knife and baseball bat camo grinding will see you taking to the houses on either side of the map, for instance.
Best Class Loadout To Use
The loadout you pick when playing Nuketown 24/7 will depend on what role you want to play in the match.
XM4 or C9
Pistol of choice
Frag or Semtex
Perk Greed: Bankroll or Tac Mask
Scorestreak 3
Napalm
This loadout is all aboutcontrolling as much of the battlefield as possiblewhile playing the object as often as possible. TheStrategist Combat Specialty gives 50 additional scorewhen you capture any objective, making earning scorestreaks easier.
The three perks selected, especially Flak Jacket and Tac Mask (if using), will ensureit takes more than a few grenades to dislodgeyou from a point or power position, and the Trophy System will keep a few grenades from landing near you.
Stim Shot and Semtexwill help keep you in the battle and act as a temporary teammate, respectively.UAV and Counter-UAV give your team intelligence, and deny the enemy theirs, while Napalm can cut entire portions of the map for an extended period.
AS VAL or AEK-973
Assassin or Engineer
Perk Greed: Flak Jacket, Tac Mask, or Gung-Ho
HARP
As the Slayer, the objective should still be on your mind, but killing as many enemies as possible is a higher priority.
The Stim Shot and Semtex will still serve to keep you in the fight and to take a fight elsewhere, respectively, and the Assault Pack is an emergency ammo and equipment refill.
The three red Perks will grant theEnforcer Specialty, whichincreases health regeneration and movement speed on a kill, keeping you in the thick of things even with a Stim.
The Perk you Greed will depend on your second slot choice, withFlak Jacket being the preferred to safeguard against grenadesand Engineer to help keep you safer from mines and other enemy equipment and streaks.
Your scorestreak selection is amix of intel with the UAV and HARPto ensure you always know where the fight’s at and the Watchdog Helo for some supplemental damage.
Tanto .22 or SVD
Hellstorm Missile
The Specialist role is one thatplays whatever position is needed at the time, whether that’s playing the objective or slaying out to keep the enemy team in spawn.
In this setup,trade out Bankroll for Scavengerto keep yourself topped up without an Assault Pack on hand.
Thescorestreak loadout is a mix of area denial and slayer-specialty. UAV gives you knowledge of enemy positions, Napalm cuts off their routes to objectives and power positions, and the Hellstorm makes targeted strikes on campers, points, etc.
The loadout you choose to play in Nuketown 24/7 ultimately depends on what you enjoy and how you need to progress.
Modify any of the proposed loadoutsif there’s a weapon you need to level, a challenge you need to complete, or a gun you prefer to use.
The same goes for scorestreaks.If you don’t want the pressure of getting close to and losing a high-value streak, keep things simplewith something like Scout Pulse, UAV, and Counter UAV. SAM Turret is another strong low-cost option.
Don’t feel overly pressured to play the objectivetoohard if you know your team either can’t or won’t,though do attempt to hold the B flag on Domination lest you be subject to one of the nastiest spawn traps in Black Ops 6.
