The Cypher 091: Mastering the New Assault Rifle in Black Ops 6

The Cypher 091 is a distinctive new Assault Rifle in Call of Duty, offering 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 in Black Ops 6.

Unlocking the Cypher 091

In Call of Duty Season 2, the Cypher 091 is acquired through the Battle Pass. It's featured 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 access a chosen page, allowing immediate acquisition of the weapon.

Optimal Cypher 091 Loadout for Black Ops 6 Multiplayer

The Cypher 091 excels at medium range in Multiplayer. Its high damage and accuracy are countered by its low fire rate, making close-quarters combat challenging. This loadout enhances accuracy, extends range, and improves close-range performance:

• Compensator: Improves vertical recoil control.
• Reinforced Barrel: Boosts damage range and bullet velocity.
• Vertical Foregrip: Significantly improves horizontal recoil control.
• Commando Grip: Increases ADS speed and sprint-to-fire speed.
• Rapid Fire: Improves fire rate at the cost of increased recoil and slightly reduced bullet velocity and damage range.

This build is ideal for controlling lanes and securing objectives. Scorestreaks like the Scout Pulse, UAV, and HARP provide crucial intel. Recommended Perks focus on faster Scorestreak acquisition and sustained combat:

• Perk 1: Flak Jacket: Reduces explosive and fire damage.
• Perk 2: Dispatcher: Reduces 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 complements this setup, providing objective and equipment destruction score bonuses, accelerating Scorestreak acquisition, and enhancing Equipment deployment speed.

• Perk 2: Fast Hands: Faster weapon swapping and extended grenade fuse times.
• Perk 3: Double Time: Significantly increased Tactical Sprint duration.
• Perk Greed: Flak Jacket

Optimal Cypher 091 Loadout for Black Ops 6 Zombies

The Cypher 091's high damage and accuracy make it effective against zombies, especially with headshots. This Zombies loadout maximizes its potential:

• Suppressor: Chance to drop extra salvage.
• CHF Barrel: Improves headshot multiplier at the cost of some recoil.
• Vertical Foregrip: Significantly improves horizontal recoil control.
• Extended Mag II: Increases magazine capacity at the cost of ADS speed, reload quickness, and sprint-to-fire speed.
• Commando Grip: Increases ADS speed and sprint-to-fire speed.
• Light Stock: Improves hipfire and movement speed.
• Tactical Laser: Adds Tactical Stance Toggle.
• Recoil Springs: Improves horizontal and vertical recoil control.

Pair this with the Deadshot Daiquiri Perk and Dead Head Major Augment for amplified critical damage.
