And when I say a few, what I really mean is dozens more than normal. That's what light machine guns are for. And in Black Ops 6, one of the LMGs on offer is the XMG, which is the LMG version of the XM4 assault rifle, one of the better guns in the game. The XMG brings more firepower and rounds to the table than the XM4, and sometimes, that's exactly what the squad could use. Here's our pick for the best XMG attachments in BO6 multiplayer. Best XMG loadout and class setup in BO6 Given BO6's emphasis on omnimovement, an LMG is tough to recommend against fast-moving SMGs or ARs at this point in time. But fans of large magazines have an ally in the XMG, a hard-hitting machine gun that can take down an entire squad if you hit your shots. Best XMG build in BO6 Muzzle: Muzzle Brake Barrel: Gain-Twist Barrel Rear Grip: Quickdraw Grip Stock: Infiltrator Stock Fire Mods: 7.62 Overpressured The main draw for the XMG in BO6 is its 100-round belt-fed magazine. Otherwise, it's cumbersome, has a slow fire rate, and will get you killed more often than not if you try to play the game like you're using an SMG. Your best bet with an LMG in BO6 is to find a nice spot to mount on and survey the battlefield as your teammates run around capturing objectives. This is a really solid build for Team Deathmatch or Kill Confirmed kill-farmers who want to rack up the numbers while watching a sightline. These attachments will help out your Mobility a little bit, but don't try and go face-to-face with someone who has an XM4 or Jackal PDW up close on an objective. Pick up your kills from a distance, and consider swapping out the Fire Mods attachment for your favorite Optic instead. Best XMG class setup in BO6 Perks and class setup Perk one:\u00a0Flak Jacket Perk two:\u00a0Dispatcher Perk three:\u00a0Guardian Perk four:\u00a0Gung-Ho Wildcard:\u00a0Perk Greed Specialty:\u00a0Strategist Equipment Secondary:\u00a0Cigma 2B Melee:\u00a0Knife Tactical:\u00a0Concussion Lethal:\u00a0Semtex Field Upgrade:\u00a0Trophy System Scorestreaks UAV Counter UAV Hellstorm The Strategist Specialty is fun to use in BO6 for its ability to rack up easy score while you pick up kills. It rewards the destruction of air support, too, so bring along the Cigma 2B to shoot down anything the enemy manages to call in for some big score bonuses. The Trophy System is a big addition, too, because you can deploy it right next to your position to prevent the enemy from raining explosives on you. And they absolutely will once you kill them a bunch of times with this massive cannon.","apple_news_notices":[],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/image-2024-09-04T104040.599.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1332037"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/918"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1332037"}],"version-history":[{"count":6,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1332037\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1332099,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1332037\/revisions\/1332099"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1332055"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1332037"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1332037"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1332037"},{"taxonomy":"invoiceable_action","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/invoiceable_action?post=1332037"},{"taxonomy":"internal-label","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/internal-label?post=1332037"},{"taxonomy":"article_type","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/article_type?post=1332037"},{"taxonomy":"author","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/coauthors?post=1332037"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
