The Jackal PDW is an early favorite for one of the best weapons in the Call of Duty Black Ops 6 beta, and you get it right out of the gate. Here’s what you need to know to get the most out of it with the right attachments, class setup and specialty, and the best perk options.
Call of Duty games having an OP SMG upon release seems to be a tradition at this point, and the Jackal PDW is no different in the Black Ops 6 beta. Compared to every other weapon in the game, this thing is awesome.
Excellent hip fire, low TTK, extremely good mid range performance compared to what you would normally expect from an SMG; this weapon has it all as long as you can keep the kick under control.
Luckily, the best PDW Jackal loadout will help you do just that. Here are the perks and attachments you need to get one of the most powerful weapons in the Call of Duty Black Ops 6 beta.
Best Jackal PDW Loadout for Black Ops 6 Beta
Black Ops 6
- Muzzle: Compensator
- Barrel: Long barrel
- Review: Mag I extended
- Rear handle: CQB Handle
- Optical: Merlin’s Reflex
- Note: Optics are a matter of personal preference, go for a short range model. If you don’t mind the iron sights on the Jackal PDW, go for the Balanced actions here instead.
The Jackal PDW is a solid choice no matter what you throw at it, but it really shines with the right set of accessories.
THE Compensator And Long barrel are the stars of the show here, with the latter making this SMG as effective as an assault rifle at range, and the compensator helping you stay on target in medium range engagements.
As for the Mag I extended, The Jackal’s rate of fire isn’t too high. If you get an extended magazine with 40 rounds, you’ll be able to take down 3 or 4 enemies per magazine with ease. This weapon was designed to farm magazines. Mag II Extended slows down your ADS speed, so only take it if you really feel like you need extra shots.
CQB Handle is a must-have if you plan on running around. It greatly increases your sprint speed towards fire, slide speed towards fire, and dive speed towards fire so you can take full advantage of Omnimovement’s benefits.
Optics largely depend on personal preference. Take what you like here or leave Balanced actions instead for bonus movement speed.
Best Perks, Equipment, and Class Specialties for Jackal PDW Loadout
You will need the Enforcer class specialty to pair it with the Jackal PDW. The temporary boost to your movement speed and health regeneration will help you pass through people and rack up kills without having to hide in a corner and regenerate. However, there are some perks you’ll need to equip to get this specialty:
Black Ops 6Do everything you can to get this Enforcer class specialty. You will need 3 red perks to do this.
- Advantage 1: Ghost
- Advantage 2: Dexterity
- Advantage 3: Double time
- Advantage 4: Gung-Ho
- Note: You will need to use the Perk Greed wildcard to get four perks like this. If you haven’t unlocked a wildcard slot yet, use Assassin in perk slot 1. Enforcer is worth it.
- Mortal: Fragmentation grenade
- Tactical: Concussion
- Field upgrade: Assault Pack/Trophy System
Having Ghost In a run-and-gun class, this is incredibly strong, although you will have to overcome some obstacles to gain this advantage and retain the Enforcer class specialty.
Dexterity will reduce your weapon movement when jumping, sliding and diving to keep you on target, Double time will give you increased tactical sprint duration and Gung-Ho with Greed Advantage will give you a reduced movement penalty when reloading or using equipment while still allowing you to reload while tactical sprinting.
If you are just starting out and don’t have Wildcards unlocked to get this configuration, you can retrieve Assassin in this first slot only to obtain the Enforcer specialty.
