Equipment Guide

Equipment is an indispensable part of Call of Duty multiplayer — using it properly can turn the tide of a match. Black Ops 6 splits equipment into three categories: Lethal, Tactical, and Field Upgrade. Each category has its own function and tactical role. This guide covers the effect, damage data, and best use cases for every piece of equipment.

Equipment Usage Tips#

Equipment	Tip
Frag	Cook it for 2-3 seconds before throwing — leave enemies no time to escape
Semtex	Predict enemy movement — throw it where they’re about to appear
C4	Place it around corners or on ceilings — detonation timing is critical
Smoke Grenade	Don’t throw it at your own feet — throw it between enemy sightlines and you
Flashbang	Be careful not to flash yourself and teammates — bounce it so it detonates in the air
Trophy System	Place it in the center of the Hardpoint/objective — protect the largest area
Dead Silence	Activate it just before approaching enemy positions — don’t use it early in the open
