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, balanced 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 found as a 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, providing quick access to Page 8 or 11.
Multiplayer Loadout
The Cypher 091 excels at medium range in 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 aim down sight and sprint-to-fire speeds.
- Rapid Fire: Increased fire rate (trades off some recoil, velocity, and range).
Tactical Considerations: Utilize the Cypher 091 for controlling lanes and holding objectives. Scorestreaks like the Scout Pulse, UAV, and HARP are highly effective.
Perk Recommendations:
- Perk 1: Flak Jacket (reduced explosive and fire damage).
- Perk 2: Dispatcher (reduced 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).
The Strategist Combat Specialty synergizes well, boosting objective and equipment destruction scores for faster Scorestreak acquisition, along with enhanced equipment visibility and deployment speed.
Ranked Play Loadout
For Ranked Play, swap the Rapid Fire attachment for Recoil Springs to enhance accuracy. The recommended Perks are:
- Perk 1: Tac Mask
- Perk 2: Fast Hands (faster weapon swaps and grenade fuse extension).
- Perk 3: Double Time (extended Tactical Sprint duration).
- Perk Greed: Flak Jacket
Zombies Loadout
The Cypher 091's high damage and accuracy make it ideal for Zombies. This loadout focuses on maximizing damage against all enemy types:
- Suppressor: Chance for extra salvage.
- CHF Barrel: Increased 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 aim down sight and sprint-to-fire speeds.
- Light Stock: Improved hipfire movement speed, movement speed, and strafing speed.
- Tactical Laser: Adds Tactical Stance Toggle.
- Recoil Springs: Improved horizontal and vertical recoil control.
For optimal performance, combine this with the Deadshot Daiquiri Perk and the Dead Head Major Augment to further boost critical damage.
Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 is available now on PlayStation, Xbox, and PC.
