The Cypher 091: Mastering the New Assault Rifle in Black Ops 6
The Cypher 091, a unique bullpup assault rifle in Call of Duty: Black Ops 6, offers a compelling blend of damage and range, offset by a slower fire rate and manageable recoil. This guide details optimal loadouts for both Multiplayer and Zombies modes.
Unlocking the Cypher 091
Available in Call of Duty Season 2, the Cypher 091 is a Battle Pass reward. It's the High Value Target on Page 8, with a Legendary blueprint on Page 11. To expedite unlocking, disable "Auto: Off" for Battle Pass Tokens and strategically spend them. BlackCell owners can instantly skip to a page of their choice, making Page 8 or 11 easily accessible.
Optimal Cypher 091 Loadout: Multiplayer
The Cypher 091 shines 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: Increased fire rate (trades off some recoil, velocity, and range).
This setup excels at controlling lanes and holding objectives. Pair it with Scorestreaks like the Scout Pulse, UAV, and HARP for superior intel. Recommended Perks:
- Perk 1: Flak Jacket: Reduces 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.
Using these perks activates the Strategist Combat Specialty, boosting objective scores and Equipment destruction for faster Scorestreak acquisition. It also provides wall-hack capabilities for Equipment and faster Field Upgrade deployment.
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: Faster weapon swaps and extended grenade fuse times.
- Perk 3: Double Time: Extended Tactical Sprint duration.
- Perk Greed: Flak Jacket
Cypher 091 Loadout: Zombies
The Cypher 091's damage and accuracy make it ideal for Zombies. This loadout maximizes damage against standard and elite enemies, including bosses:
- Suppressor: Chance of extra salvage.
- CHF Barrel: Improved headshot multiplier (at the cost of some recoil).
- Vertical Foregrip: Significantly improved horizontal recoil control.
- Extended Mag II: Increased magazine capacity (trades off some ADS speed, reload, and sprint-to-fire speed).
- Commando Grip: Faster ADS and sprint-to-fire speed.
- Light Stock: Improved hipfire, movement, and strafing speed.
- Tactical Laser: Adds Tactical Stance Toggle.
- Recoil Springs: Improved horizontal and vertical recoil control.
In Zombies, pair this with the Deadshot Daiquiri Perk and Dead Head Major Augment to amplify critical damage.
Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 is available now on PlayStation, Xbox, and PC.
