The Jackal PDW – The best weapon in the Black Ops 6 beta
This is the weapon: The Jackal PDW is currently the most popular and at the same time the smallest weapon in the Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 beta. Numerous players report that this submachine gun is used in almost every match and has a significant influence on the gameplay. Initial statistics also confirm this.
This is what makes the Jackal so special: Of particular note is its outstanding mid-range performance, which sets it apart from other SMGs. With minimal recoil and impressive range, it is more like an assault rifle than a traditional SMG, while at the same time being superior to any assault rifle at close range.
How to unlock the Jackal PDW: To use the Jackal PDW in the Black Ops 6 beta, you must reach level 10. However, the unlock criteria may vary in the final version of the game.

Black Ops 6 Beta – The best setup for the Jackal PDW
How to make the Jackal PDW even better: This MP is already a force to be reckoned with. However, to fully exploit the Jackal PDW's potential, the right setup is essential. With the right attachments, you can make this already powerful weapon even more dangerous. Here is a list of recommended attachments:
- Mouth: Compensator – reduces recoil and makes aiming at medium distances easier.
- Run: Long Barrel – extends the effective range of the weapon so it remains effective at medium to long distances.
- Magazine: Magazine Extension I – increases the magazine size so you can take out multiple enemies without having to reload.
- Handle: Melee Grip – primarily improves sprint-to-fire time, which is crucial especially in close combat.
- Visitors: Merlin Reflex Sight (optional) – for precise shots at short distances; If you can do without a sight, you should choose the Balanced Stock instead to increase movement speed.
Best perks for your loadout: The Jackal is perfect for an aggressive “run & gun” playstyle, but can easily compete against assault rifles at medium range. If you want to optimize your entire loadout for the Jackal PDW to emphasize its strengths, we recommend the following extras and equipment:
- Extra 1: Ghost – protects you from enemy UAVs, ideal for aggressive play.
- Extras 2: Agility – Reduces weapon stagger when jumping, sliding, and diving.
- Extra 3: Rush Speed – increases tactical sprint duration to rush toward enemies faster.
- Extra 4: Gung-Ho – allows reloading while sprinting and reduces movement restrictions when using equipment.
- Tactics: vibration
- Primary: Splitter Grenade
- Field upgrade: Storm package or trophy system
Please note: You unlock the fourth extra slot using the wildcards. If you haven't unlocked the wildcards yet, select “Assassin” for extra 1 to receive the combat specialty “Enforcer”.
Why the Jackal PDW could be generated: The superiority of the Jackal PDW has already sparked discussions in the community. Many players are demanding that the weapon be created before the game is officially released. The combination of long range and low recoil in particular means that other weapons pale in comparison. It remains to be seen whether and when the developers will react to this.
In short: In the eyes of most players and numerous experts, the Jackal PDW is currently the best weapon in the Black Ops 6 beta. With the right setup, it becomes an even more dangerous threat on the battlefield. If you want to be successful in the beta, you can hardly ignore this weapon at the moment.
