The fan-favorite Kilo 141 Assault Rifle is back in Call of Duty to coincide with Verdansk’s return, and the low-recoil AR is also available in Black Ops 6.

Thanks to its solid damage and extremely easy-to-control recoil, the Kilo 141 became the meta gun for a huge portion of Verdansk’s time in Warzone, and it was no slouch in Modern Warfare 2019’s multiplayer either.

It’s finally arrived in Black Ops 6 with Season 3 and kept the characteristics that made it such a meta choice. But it can still be improved with the right attachments, so here’s everything you need to know about building the best Kilo 141 loadout in Black Ops 6 Season 3.

Meta Kilo 141 build

• Optic: Kepler Microflex
• Muzzle:Suppressor
• Underbarrel:Ranger Foregrip
• Magazine: Extended Mag 1
• Rear Grip:Ergonomic Grip

The best Kilo 141 attachments increase its accuracy and mobility while keeping you off the minimap.

The Kepler Microflexremains a great choice for Optic as it’s a clean red dot sight that doesn’t take up too much of the screen. Then, the Suppressorhides you from the minimap, which is always useful.

The Ranger Foregriphelps with horizontal recoil control and slightly increases sprint speed. The Ergonomic Gripfurther helps with mobility, letting you shoot almost immediately after sliding, diving, or jumping.

Whether you take the first or second Extended Mag is down to personal preference, but I’d recommend sticking with Extended Mag 1as 50 rounds is more than enough to take down a couple of enemies before reloading without harming your mobility too much.

Best Perks and Equipment

Activision / Dexerto

• Perk 1: Gung-Ho
• Perk 2: Hunter’s Instinct
• Perk 3: Slipstream
• Perk Greed: Flak Jacket
• Wildcard: Perk Greed
• Tactical:Flashbang
• Lethal: Semtex
• Field Upgrade: Assault Pack

The best Perks and Equipment maximize mobility, letting you quickly move onto the next kill. To start, Gung-Holets you reload without slowing down, which is perfect when needing to reload in a tight spot.

Is the Kilo 141 meta in Black Ops 6?

Yes, the Kilo 141 is a meta Assault Rifle in Black Ops 6, largely because it’s just so easy to use. You hardly need to control the recoil to keep it firing straight, and with the right attachments, you can boost its mobility and bullet velocity.

It also has a fast time to kill, especially with headshots in the mix, and its low recoil and forgiving fire rate make it easy to hit. The jury’s still out on whether it’s the best AR in Black Ops 6, but you can’t go wrong with the Kilo.

If you miss the login reward or don’t want Warzone clogging up your hard drive space, it will likely be an Armory Unlock. Simply head to the Armory in the menus, select the Kilo 141, then play long enough to get enough XP to unlock it.

The Kilo isn’t the only classic weapon returning to Black Ops 6, as the HDR Sniper Rifle, CR-56 AMAX, and Kali Sticks are available in the Season 3 Battle Pass. Plus, you can convert the Swat 5.56 into MW’s Grau 5.56 Assault Rifle, which was known for its low recoil and super-clean iron sights.
