PU-21 LMG Loadout in bo6

Best PU-21 LMG Loadout in Black Ops 6 & Warzone

The PU-21 LMG loadout in BO6 (or Call of Duty: Black Ops 6), with its unique attachment options, transforms one of the popular guns in the game into a hybrid weapon that feels like a mix between a light machine gun (LMG) and an assault rifle like the GPR 91. If you enjoyed the Hades LMG from Black Ops 4 or the under-barrel attachments from Modern Warfare 3, the PU-21 will feel right at home in your arsenal.

In this guide, we’ll cover the best PU-21 LMG loadout in BO6. The first is designed for accuracy and a more defensive playstyle, while the second is built for aggressive, fast-paced gameplay.

This loadout focuses on making the PU-21 as accurate as possible, reducing its recoil and idle sway to dominate mid-range gunfights. It’s perfect for players who prefer a slower, more anchored playstyle.

Quickdraw Grip (Rear Grip)+ Aim Down Sights (ADS) Speed-22% ADS Speed
Target Laser (Laser)+ Aiming Idle Sway Delay3,350 ms ADS sway delay
+ Aim Walking SteadinessLaser visible in ADS

The PU-21 has strong damage potential, but its recoil and idle sway can make it hard to land shots consistently. This build fixes those issues.

  • Target Laser is a must-have for this loadout. It delays the ADS sway for three seconds, making it much easier to hit targets beyond 20 meters.
  • Compensator reduces vertical recoil, while the Vertical Foregrip handles horizontal recoil, making the PU-21 surprisingly accurate for an LMG.
  • The Volzhskiy Reflex optic cleans up the bulky ADS profile, giving you a clear sight picture.
  • Finally, the Quickdraw Grip improves ADS speed, helping you aim faster in mid-range fights.

This build won’t match the speed of SMGs or some ARs, but once you’re in position, you’ll dominate mid-range engagements.
