Optimize Your Call of Duty Loadouts

The Cypher 091: Mastering the New Assault Rifle in Black Ops 6

The Cypher 091, a unique bullpup assault rifle in Call of Duty: Black Ops 6, offers a compelling blend of damage and range, balanced by a slower fire rate and manageable recoil. This guide details optimal loadouts for both Multiplayer and Zombies modes.

Unlocking the Cypher 091

In Season 2, the Cypher 091 is a Battle Pass reward. It's featured as a High Value Target on Page 8, with a Legendary blueprint on Page 11. To expedite unlocking, disable "Auto: On" for Battle Pass Tokens and strategically spend them. BlackCell owners can instantly skip to any page, making immediate acquisition possible.

Cypher 091 Multiplayer Loadout

The Cypher 091 excels at medium range in Multiplayer. Its high damage and accuracy are offset by its lower fire rate at close quarters. This loadout enhances accuracy, extends range, and improves close-range performance:

• Compensator: Improved vertical recoil control.
• Reinforced Barrel: Increased damage range and bullet velocity.
• Vertical Foregrip: Significantly improved horizontal recoil control.
• Commando Grip: Faster aim down sight (ADS) and sprint-to-fire speed.
• Rapid Fire: Increased fire rate (at the cost of increased recoil and slightly reduced bullet velocity/damage range).

Tactical Considerations: Utilize the Cypher 091 to control lanes and objectives. Scorestreaks like the Scout Pulse, UAV, and HARP are highly effective.

Recommended Perks:

• Flak Jacket: Reduced explosive and fire damage.
• Dispatcher: Lower score cost for non-lethal Scorestreaks.
• Guardian: Faster healing while holding objectives; quicker revives.
• Perk Greed: Tac Mask: Resistance to flash/concussion grenades and Neuro Gas.

This perk setup, combined with the Strategist Combat Specialty, boosts objective score and Equipment destruction for faster Scorestreak acquisition.

Cypher 091 Ranked Play Loadout

For Ranked Play, swap the Rapid Fire for Recoil Springs to further enhance accuracy. The recommended perks are:

• Perk 1: Tac Mask
• Perk 2: Fast Hands: Faster weapon swaps and extended grenade fuse times.
• Perk 3: Double Time: Extended Tactical Sprint duration.
• Perk Greed: Flak Jacket

Cypher 091 Zombies Loadout

The Cypher 091's high damage and accuracy make it ideal for Zombies. This loadout maximizes damage against standard and elite enemies:

• Suppressor: Chance for extra salvage.
• CHF Barrel: Increased headshot multiplier (at the cost of some recoil).
• Vertical Foregrip: Significantly improved horizontal recoil control.
• Extended Mag II: Increased magazine capacity (at the cost of ADS speed, reload speed, and sprint-to-fire speed).
• Commando Grip: Faster ADS and sprint-to-fire speed.
• Light Stock: Improved hipfire, movement, and strafing speed.
• Tactical Laser: Adds Tactical Stance Toggle.
• Recoil Springs: Improved horizontal and vertical recoil control.

For optimal performance, utilize the Deadshot Daiquiri Perk with the Dead Head Major Augment to further boost critical damage.
