Crafting the best loadout in Black Ops 6 is essential to play at your best. For players looking to play aggressively & dominate both short-range & medium-range engagements, the Tanto .22 submachine gun is the go-to and one of the best weapons in the game.

The Tanto .22 is a very unique weapon in this title: a lower recoil, fully automatic SMG that has a slower fire rate but high damage. These loadouts build on the gun's strengths, giving players a hard-hitting SMG that can make anyone look like a pro.

With the current meta and mapset in Black Ops 6, Assault & Marksmen Rifles are very powerful and can be effectively used on every map. Although that class is favored, each of the remaining weapon classes can shine with the right loadouts. It is vital to find the right attachments, perks, and equipment to allow you to shine on the map. Below, you’ll find the best Tanto .22 loadout in Black Ops 6, how to unlock it, and the ideal class setup to complement it.
