Black Ops 6 offers 33 unique weapons and each of the weapons are obtained by reaching a specific level but some of the weapons are unlocked at the initial stage of the game. Every weapon in the game allows the player to adopt a unique playstyle depending on the mode they have currently selected.
These weapons are utilized depending on the map or match condition. Several old weapons make their return in Black Ops 6 but with new unique options to serve better in combat. Weapons are customized using attachments or through the Gunsmith Wildcard which can add three extra attachments to the primary weapons. Without further due, let’s dive in and learn how to get each weapon in Call of Duty Black Ops 6.
How to unlock all weapons in Black Ops 6
Black Ops 6 offers seven Assault Rifles, six SMGs, two Shotguns, three LMGs, four Marksman Rifles, and three Sniper Rifles as well. This time, we have new criteria to unlock different weapons. This is pretty much like the previous COD games where you have to reach level 55 to unlock everything. If you want to unlock all the SMGs, Assault Rifles, and other stuff then you need to reach level 55 and your player progression will progress. As you climb up the ranks, you will be unlocking everything coming in the path.
Once you reach level 55 which is the max level then you can go ahead and unlock everything in Black Ops 6. Once you do prestige though all that’s going to reset and you’re going to have to do that all again. Luckily, reaching level 55 is not that hard as you can get that in a day or two if you really grind. Unlock all the weapons by just reaching level 55. You can reach level 55 by progressing across both Multiplayer and Zombies simultaneously thanks to unified progression.

Unlocking weapons with Prestige and Blueprints in Black Ops 6
There are a couple of ways to unlock absolutely everything manually in Black Ops 6. You can either unlock the weapons through the Prestige system or Blueprints. You unlock a Permanent Unlock when you rank up to the next tier of Prestige that allows you to get an item of your choice which can be either a weapon, perk, or anything. Once you reach Level 55 and select to enter the next Prestige rank then the level is reset to 1 which results in locking all your items until you reach the associated level again. The Blueprints you unlocked in the game allow you to use both the Blueprint variant and the base weapon itself anytime.
Assault Rifles
Assault Rifles in Black Ops 6 are the most versatile guns that can perform well at all ranges. These weapons deal massive damage, easy to control, and are effective at medium-to-long ranges.
Submachine Guns

Shotguns
Shotguns are the strongest close-range option that destroys everything in its path. You need to adapt a special playstyle to perform well with them because they have a low range and offer less accuracy.
Light Machine Guns

Marksman Rifles

Sniper Rifles
Snipers are the best long-range weapons that offer deadly precision and massive damage. It drains the enemy health bar with just one shot at any range.

Pistols are mostly used when the primary weapon needs to be reloaded and your enemy is nearby. This is a stand-by weapon that is effective at close range but is slower but still, it plays a major role in most situations.
Launchers
Scorestreaks like UAVs and Overwatch Helos are simply destroyed by using the Launcher at them. They just blow up everything and destroy the enemy camps that let the enemies come out from the holes.
Melee Weapons
Melee Weapons are fun to use in the game. This weapon is effective when you attack the enemy from behind without letting them notice that you’re going to pop their head off.
