Shotguns are extremely strong short-range weapons in Call of Duty: Black Ops 6with the ASG-89 being perhaps the best when equipped with its best attachments, perks, and equipment. This semi-automatic shotgun can take down targets in quick succession, with no interruption between shots. However, this weapon has some glaring weaknesses that you’ll want to tweak before taking it onto the battlefield.
Unlike the other versions of Shotgun in CoD: Black Ops 6you don’t have to worry about the speed of the ASG-89. This weapon’s rate of fire is surprisingly high due to how it can fire multiple shots at once. While it may not boast the firepower of the Marine SP shotgun, it has better initial mobility when you unlock the weapon by reaching account level 31.

The Attachments you saw earlier encourage you to use passive skills that allow you to track enemiestake them down and finish them off quickly with a single shot from the shotgun. Some of the best perks to put into an ASG-89 build are:
- Perk 1: Ninja (Move more silently without alerting enemy players to your presence.)
- Advantage 2: tracker (See enemy footsteps. ADSing automatically pings enemies. This ability has a slightly longer cooldown before it can be used again.)
- Advantage 3: cold-bloodedness (You are undetectable by AI targeting and thermal optics. Any Scorestreaks earned by players cannot be used to highlight your position.)
- Perk 4: Recon (Enemies can be seen through walls for a short time after you respawn. Whenever an enemy is out of your vision, an indicator will flash on your HUD. You do not leave deadly skulls when you kill an enemy.)
The Recon Combat specialty benefit is gained by having three other recon benefits in your build. This ability is fantastic for ASG-89 as it allows you to always know the location of your enemies without alerting them to where you are. Although the shotgun’s additional range gives it the effectiveness of an assault rifle in CoD: Black Ops 6Shotguns have a better chance of killing when you use them in an opponent’s face.
All of these perks combine to make you hard to spot, giving you the perfect chance to get quick kills against enemies that can’t find you. Stay on the move with the ASG-89 or stay in a reliable location on the map to always have the advantage.
