Optimal Cypher 091 Loadout: Multiplayer

The Cypher 091 excels at medium range in Black Ops 6 Multiplayer. This loadout prioritizes accuracy, range, and close-quarters combat improvement:
- Compensator: Enhanced vertical recoil control.
- Reinforced Barrel: Increased damage range and bullet velocity.
- Vertical Foregrip: Significantly improved horizontal recoil control.
- Commando Grip: Faster ADS and sprint-to-fire speed.
- Rapid Fire: Improved fire rate (trades increased recoil, reduced bullet velocity, and damage range).
This setup is ideal for controlling lanes and holding objectives. Pair it with Scorestreaks like the Scout Pulse, UAV, and HARP for enhanced situational awareness. Recommended Perks:
- Perk 1: Flak Jacket: Reduced explosive and fire damage.
- Perk 2: Dispatcher: Lower score cost for non-lethal Scorestreaks.
- Perk 3: Guardian: Faster healing during objective capture and holding, quicker revives.
- Perk Greed: Tac Mask: Resistance to flash, concussion grenades, and Neuro Gas.
Strategist Combat Specialty complements this build, boosting objective scores and equipment destruction for faster Scorestreak acquisition. It also provides wall-hack capabilities for equipment and faster deployment of equipment and Field Upgrades.
Cypher 091 Loadout: Ranked Play
Ranked Play requires adjustments. Replace Rapid Fire with Recoil Springs for enhanced accuracy. Use these Perks:
- Perk 1: Tac Mask
- Perk 2: Fast Hands: Quicker weapon swaps and extended grenade fuse times.
- Perk 3: Double Time: Extended Tactical Sprint duration.
- Perk Greed: Flak Jacket
