Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 has been out for a while now, and with major changes to its mechanics and features, it has quickly captured the attention of online multiplayer fans. One of the biggest gameplay changes is the addition of Omnimovement, a new movement system that dramatically shifts how you approach combat and engage with enemies.
In this guide, we’ll walk you through all the important tips and tricks players use to take full advantage of both the new and old features to build a winning strategy in Black Ops 6’s online matches.

Movement Tips and Tricks

Master Omnimovement

It might sound basic, but learning how to use the new Omnimovement system properly is critical. If you can’t take advantage of these movement mechanics, you’re going to have a tough time.
Spend some time in the game’s practice mode and work on key moves such as:

• Diving through windows while doing a 180-degree turn

• Diving backward while sprinting

• Side-diving without stopping your shooting

Getting comfortable with these actions will give you a serious edge in live matches.

Reassign Your Movement Buttons

Since Black Ops 6 introduces advanced new movement options, it’s a good idea to customize your control layout.
For controller players, move the crouch, slide, and prone buttons to more accessible spots.
If you’re using a mouse and keyboard, bind diving or crouching to side buttons (if your mouse has them) to react quicker during matches.

Slide Into Cover

When running toward cover, press the crouch button to smoothly slide into a safe position.
Immediately after sliding, hit prone to get even lower, giving you a better chance to safely engage or surprise enemies from a secure spot.

Jump or Drop to Dodge Bullets

One of the most frustrating things in Black Ops 6 is when you’re aiming for a perfect headshot — and your enemy suddenly jumps or hits the ground.
This isn’t just annoying; it’s an essential survival trick.
By jumping or dropping to prone when targeted, you mess up the enemy’s aim, giving yourself a small but vital window to counterattack.

Leveling Up Faster

Complete Daily Challenges

Always check your Daily Challenges from the lobby screen.
These tasks often involve using specific weapons or completing actions during matches.
Just by finishing the first four daily challenges, you can earn around 10,500 XP — a massive boost toward leveling up.

Use Preset Loadouts to Unlock New Weapons

If there’s a weapon you want but haven’t unlocked yet, check the Preset Loadouts section.
If your target weapon is featured there, you can use it immediately within that class, helping you:

• Level up your account faster

• Unlock the weapon quicker

• Pre-unlock attachments for it even before official access

Play the Objective for Extra XP

Although it might sound obvious, many players still ignore objectives during matches.
Participating in objective-based modes like Domination or Hardpoint grants you significantly more XP, especially if you stay on the points longer.

Combat Tips and Loadout Strategies

Use the Right Preset Loadouts

While preset loadouts are handy for leveling weapons, they’re not always ideal for every match.
Adapt your loadout based on the flow of the game:

• Switch to long-range options when needed

• Use faster weapons for close-quarters battles

Here are two highly recommended loadouts:

Overwatch Loadout (For Long-Range and Objective Defense)

Perfect for players who prefer engaging from a distance.

• Primary Weapon: Sniper Rifle

• Secondary Weapon: Marine SP Shotgun (great for finishing enemies up close)

• Equipment: Motion Sensors and Explosive Mines for securing flanks and defending objectives.

Overwatch players dominate by controlling space with their sniper while defending key points using traps.

Enforcer Loadout (For Mid-Range and Close-Range Battles)

Great for aggressive players who like medium to close-quarters action.

• Primary Weapon: XM4 Assault Rifle (low recoil, versatile firing modes)

• Tactical Equipment: Stim Shot (helps you recover quickly in fights)

Pro tip: Put the XM4 into single-shot mode to extend your reach if needed.

Aim for the Head — Always

It’s much easier said than done, but always aim for the enemy’s head.
In Black Ops 6, the time-to-kill (TTK) is very fast, and headshots drastically speed up kills.
If you aim for the body while your opponent goes for your head, chances are you’ll lose — even if you shoot first.

Practice fast and precise headshots to become much more deadly in every encounter.

Use Enemies as Human Shields

Instead of immediately killing an unaware enemy, you can grab them from behind and use them as a human shield.
This tactic protects you from incoming bullets and lets you eliminate threats without risking yourself.
To grab someone, sneak behind them, press the execution button twice, and you’ll turn them into your temporary shield.

Zombies Mode Tip: Level Up Faster

Don’t be afraid to jump into Zombies mode.
Earning XP in Zombies is comparable to Multiplayer.
Reaching Round 10 or 20 gives you a massive amount of XP, helping you:

• Unlock new weapons quicker

• Level up your account faster for multiplayer advantages

Map Awareness Tips

Learn Secret Paths

Most maps have hidden or alternate routes that are way safer than main roads.
Mastering these paths is especially useful in objective-based modes where sneaking around defenses can mean the difference between victory and defeat.

Final Thoughts

Black Ops 6’s multiplayer isn’t just about quick reflexes — it’s about smart movement, weapon strategy, map control, and XP farming.
Master these tips, adapt your strategy mid-match, and you’ll dominate the battlefield, whether you’re running objectives or outgunning enemies in pure combat.
