Best Cypher 091 Loadout in Black Ops 6 Multiplayer
In *Black Ops 6* Multiplayer, the Cypher 091 thrives as a medium-range Assault Rifle, boasting high damage and accuracy but a slower fire rate, which can be a challenge in close-quarters combat. The following loadout is designed to enhance its accuracy, extend its range, and bolster its performance at closer distances.

- Commando Grip – Boosts Aim Down Sight Speed and Sprint to Fire Speed.
- Rapid Fire – Increases Fire Rate at the expense of increased Vertical and Horizontal Recoil, as well as slight reductions in Bullet Velocity and Damage Range.
