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 access a page of their choice, streamlining the acquisition process.
Optimal Cypher 091 Multiplayer Loadout
The Cypher 091 excels at medium range in Black Ops 6 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 Scout Pulse, UAV, and HARP provide crucial intel.
Recommended Perks:
- Flak Jacket: Reduced explosive and fire damage.
- Dispatcher: Lower score cost for non-lethal Scorestreaks.
- Guardian: Faster healing during objective capture and holding; quicker revives.
- Perk Greed: Tac Mask: Resistance to flash/concussion grenades and Neuro Gas.
This perk setup enables the Strategist Combat Specialty, boosting objective scores and equipment destruction for faster Scorestreak acquisition. It also offers enhanced equipment visibility and deployment speed.
Cypher 091 Loadout for Ranked Play
Ranked Play requires adjustments. Replace Rapid Fire with Recoil Springs for improved 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
Cypher 091 Loadout for Zombies
The Cypher 091's high damage and accuracy make it ideal for Zombies. This loadout maximizes damage against standard and elite enemies:
- Suppressor: Chance of extra salvage.
- CHF Barrel: Increased headshot multiplier (trades off 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).
