There are quite a few guns to test out in Call Of Duty: Black Ops 6 right now. However, one is taking lobbies by storm and that is the Jackal PDW SMG. This tiny little SMG is by far the most powerful, mobile, and devastating weapon you can use currently. We have the perfect Call Of Duty: Black Ops 6 Jackal PDW loadout in this article.

Below, you can find a breakdown for the gun and the attachments you want to run with it to dominate in matches. You can also find a more complete class setup that covers the best secondary, equipment, field upgrade, and perks. This guide is based off of 5 hours of gameplay with the weapon in Call Of Duty: Black Ops 6 and testing out various builds.

The best Jackal PDW loadout in the Call Of Duty: Black Ops 6 beta is:

  • Optic: Redwell Reflex
  • Muzzle: Compensator
  • Barrel: Long Barrel
  • Rear Grip: CQB Grip
  • Stock: Combat Stock

This entire loadout is built around the weapon’s high damage and high mobility, allowing you to be incredibly agile, diving, jumping, and making the most of omnimovement, while being able to go on extended kill streaks and control the weapon’s recoil.

The first key part of this build for the Jackal PDW is the CQB Grip in the Rear Grip slot. This is absolutely vital to being able to run-and-gun with this weapon. Like most of the attachments in Black Ops 6, it doesn’t have any downsides and instead provides a boost to your sprint to fire time, slide to fire time, and dive to fire time.

All of these bonuses are incredibly important if you are going to make the most of omnimovement, as you can dive, slide, sprint, or combine all of these moves and aim on target. Paired with that attachment is the Combat Stock in the Stock slot. This provides a decent boost to your mobility, making you even more fleet-footed. It also improves your flinch resistance, which is key to being able to pick enemies off thanks to the gun’s strong range.

Pair this with the Long Barrel in the Barrel slot and you are able to pick enemies off at quite a distance, even at Sniper Rifle and Assault Rifle ranges if you are cool-headed and have good trigger discipline. You will want to make sure you have a nice clean Optic to be able to do this, which is why we suggest the Redwell Reflex.

Alternatively, you can also use the Merlin Mini for a more close-quarters sight or the Volzhskiy Reflex if you want something with minimal rims.

Finally, this loadout is capped off with the Compensator in the Muzzle slot. This adds a significant boost to your vertical recoil control, only making you more effective at range.

All of these attachments paired together make for a potent weapon, capable of fighting enemies at any range and excelling when you are constantly on the move.

For the rest of the class setup, when it comes to the Jackal PDW, you want to equip the following:

  • Pistol: 9mm PM
  • Melee: Knife
  • Tactical: Stim Shot
  • Lethal: Semtex
  • Field Upgrade: Acoustic Amp
  • Perk 1: Ghost
  • Perk 2: Dexterity
  • Perk 3: Double Time
  • Wildcard: Perk Greed: Quartermaster

To kick things off, equip your knife and the 9mm PM pistol. This is because the pistol is lighter than the GS45, allowing you to pull it out quicker and reduce downtime due to weapon swapping.

On the perk side, you want to opt for Ghost in Perk 1, as you will constantly be moving around the map and want to stay off of radars as much as possible. In the Perk 2 slot, we suggest choosing Dexterity. Like the attachments for the Jackal PDW itself, this will help you stay on target when diving, sliding, and jumping, reducing weapon motion.

You also get reduced fall damage, but we are mainly picking this perk for the other benefit.

When it comes to your Perk 3 slot, choose Double Time, boosting your Tactical Sprint duration greatly, allowing you to stay consistently mobile.

Additionally, we suggest running with the Perk Greed Wildcard and picking Quartermaster as the bonus perk. The goal of this build is to go on extended killstreaks as often as possible and to be able to recharge your equipment, particularly because we suggest Stim Shots in the Tactical Slot, is an invaluable ability.

Speaking of Stim Shots, these in the Tactical slot will help you get out of any immediate danger and recover quickly, especially with how quick Black Ops 6’s gameplay is.

Semtex is the best Lethal choice in the game currently. It packs a punch and has a very short fuse once it sticks to a surface, making it incredibly easy to catch enemies off guard if they are running towards a choke point or stick them from afar.

Finally, in your Field Upgrade slot, choose the Acoustic Amp. This plays into the prowler, run-and-gun playstyle this loadout offers and allows you to keep track of enemies and hear their footsteps better. It also lasts for quite a long time, which makes it one of the better Field Upgrade choices in the game currently.

With this entire class setup and loadout, you should be dominating in the Black Ops 6 beta in no time.
