The best Jackal PDW loadout in Black Ops 6
Our best Jackal PDW loadout focuses on improving the weapon’s minor shortcomings in the Accuracy and Firepower stats while bolstering the already good Mobility and Handling stats using the right attachments.
- Muzzle: Compensator
- Barrel: Short Barrel or Reinforced Barrel
- Rear Grip: CQB Grip
- Laser: Target Laser
- Fire Mods: Rapid Fire
- Tactical: Stim Shot
- Lethal: Frag
- Field Upgrade: Acoustic Amp
- Perks: Bruiser or Flak Jacket, Gung-Ho or Dexterity, Double Time
Note: If you are having trouble ADS’ing, you can also use any Optics of your choice instead of a Laser attachment.
For the Muzzle attachment, we are using the good old Compensator to improve significantly the vertical recoil control, increasing the accuracy of the Jackal PDW.
When it comes to Barrel attachment, there are two recommendations that we have. The first and most important one is the Short Barrel, which not only increases your Firepower but also Jumping Sprint to Fire Speed and Jumping Aim Down Speed.
The CQB Grip is superb for Rear Grip attachment, increasing the weapon’s handling while improving the Sprint to Fire Speed, Slide to Fire Speed, and Dive to Fire Speed.
However, we recommend using the Ergonomic Grip if you want to sacrifice Sprint to Fire Speed for ADS Speed. The Target Laser is the best pick for Jackal PDW for Laser attachment.
While choosing Fire Mods, Rapid Fire is your best pick as it increases the Fire Rate of the weapon by a great extent, which you need for close engagements and running gunnin’ gameplay.
The Stim is the right choice for Tactical Equipment as you can heal and stay in battle for long. The Frag, when it comes to Lethal, and the Acoustic Amp as Field Upgrade as the latter allows you to hear enemy footsteps louder for a short duration.
That concludes our guide on the best Jackal PDW loadout in Black Ops 6.
