Your defense becomes earning points, upgrading weapons, and looping the undead through open-scale maps.
Like previous iterations of Zombies, the Wonder Weapon is your best bet at survival.
However, rarity means getting your hands on one in co-op is challenging, to say the least.
Here are the bestBlack Ops 6weapons to prioritize in Zombies.
It only makes sense to kick off this guide with an old favorite: the XM4.
The XM4 also Pack-a-Punches decently.
Theres a reasonCoDplayers consider it so reliable.

If you like the feel of ARs inCoD,Black Ops 6does not disappoint.
The AMES 85 is a step up from the XM4.
It doesnt shred quite as hard but makes up for it with accuracy, mobility, and handling.
The AMES 85 can easily carry you through high round levels with the proper upgrades and augments.
As a bonus, its a relatively early unlock.
The AS Val has quickly become a fan favorite across allBlack Ops 6modes.
Not only does it feel good, but you cant beat its accuracy and damage output.
It also beats the XM4 when it comes to fire rate.
Extended Mag I or II will be your best friend here, given the smaller magazine size.
When it comes to SMGs, the PP-919 takes the crown.
From decent base ammo to strong damage output, you already have a solid starting weapon.
Once its Pack-a-Punched, you get a significant mag size boost that makes thinning out encroaching hordes a breeze.
Dedicating augment research to the Speed Cola perk is smart for any weapon.
However, combining the Phantom Reload augment with the PP-919 is a must.
The zombies dont stand a chance.
Shotguns tend to be meta no matter the iteration ofCoDZombiesand that trend continues inBlack Ops 6.
This pump-action shotgun starts as a heavy hitter but becomes a monster after Pack-a-Punch.
This bad boy is dripping with 1-shot kill potential, even on higher rounds.
Specing into Deadshot Daiquiri or Ammo Mods will take the Marine SP to the next level.
LMGs can be excellent for laying down firepower and thinning out large hordes.
Unfortunately,Black Ops 6s LMG choices havent overly impressed in Zombies thus far.
However, if you like spraying and praying, the PU-21 is a solid pick.
This full-auto light machine gun boosts good damage and mag size on par with the GPMG-7.
To combat the PU-21s sluggishness, youll want to improve your ADS.
The Quickdraw Grip will work wonders here.
The LR 7.62 is slow and a little cumbersome.
Is that great in Zombies?
However, its transformation after a trip to the Pack-a-Punch more than makes up for it.
The humble bolt-action earns explosive bullets that hit like mini-tanks.
Of course, that doesnt guarantee success.
The LR 7.62 is still slow to reload and shoot.
Adding a Quickdraw Grip will improve ADS, and opting for the Extended Magazine will help with reloads.
Even still, the LR 7.62 is very much about high risk, high reward.
This semi-auto sniper rifle packs a heavy punch before and after Pack-a-Punch.
We are talking about a triple tap effect here, people.
When it comes to Zombies, shotguns are in, and snipers are (usually) out.
However, the SVD combines the best of both worlds, delivering a shotgun-sniper hybrid of sorts.
Like the LR 7.62.
Its only limitations are a small mag size and a long reload time.
So, consider equipping Fast Mag or a Speed Cola augment like Phantom Reload or Classic Formula.
The GS45 is an absolute brutalizer masquerading as an everyday pistol.
The real fun begins after using the Pack-a-Punch, where it transforms into the Sally.
Any veteranCoDplayer knows the explosive-stopping power of this classic weapon.
With PhD Flopper equipped, youre protected from explosive damage and safe to unleash hell upon your undead enemies.
Equipping the Akimbo GS45 Stock at Weapon Level 31 allows you to dual-wield GS45s.
Now, just load into Zombies with your Akimbo GS45 pistols and Pack-a-Punch them.
