The Best Goblin Mk2 Loadout in Call of Duty Black Ops 6 – Destructoid

Although its semi-automatic function will require some getting used to, the high damage per shot with the Goblin Mk2 Loadout makes it one of the best in Call of Duty Black Ops 6.

As you can expect, however, the assault rifle will also demand a lot of care if you wish to compete with some of its meta siblings, such as the AS Val and XM4. Here’s the best Goblin Mk2 loadout in Call of Duty Black Ops 6.

The Best Goblin Mk2 Loadout in Call of Duty Black Ops 6

As being able to take aim fast and make every shot count will be a must when using the Goblin Mk2, we will start by adding a non-magnifying optic for better tracking and the Muzzle Brake and Vertical Foregrip for a huge boost in recoil mitigation and a guarantee your gun will stay on target no matter the scenario. To further boost its overall performance and above all its damage, we will then add the Gain-Twist Barrel for a welcome 35% increase in bullet velocity and the Rapid Fire mod for a much-needed 11% boost in fire rate.

But we’re just getting started, as the Goblin Mk2 needs a bit more to excel, which in this case means using the extra modification slots courtesy of the Gunfighter Wildcard to further boost your movement with the Balanced Stock and add a welcome boost in ADS Speed with the Quickdraw Grip. If you are finding yourself out of bullets often, adding the Extended Mag I can also help, although at the cost of both handling and ADS Speed.

To recap, here’s the best Goblin Mk2 loadout in Call of Duty Black Ops 6, as well as a few lower-level alternatives offering similar results:

• Optic: Kepler Microflex / Remuda Mini Reflex
• Muzzle: Muzzle Brake / Ported Compensator
• Barrel: Gain-Twist Barrel / Using the Long Barrel can also work
• Underbarrel: Vertical Foregrip
• Magazine: Extended Mag I (Only if using Gunfighter / Not a must)
• Rear Grip: Quickdraw Grip (Only if using Gunfighter)
• Stock: Balanced Stock (Only if using Gunfighter)
• Fire Mods: Rapid Fire / Recoil Springs (Will further boost recoil control at the cost of per millisecond damage)

The best perks and equipment for the Goblin MK2

Since you cannot expect the Mk2 to put up a fight against full-auto weapons in honest confrontations, we will use a full set of Recon perks to enhance your ability to move in undetected and put your opponents on the back foot. I also highly recommend taking the Grekhova as your secondary, as the weapon’s full-auto function will boost your options. You can check out which perks we recommend you pick, as well as a deeper view of all of the best equipment for the Goblin Mk2 below:

• Secondary Weapon: Grekhova / GS45
• Tactical: Smoke
• Lethal: Frag / Sentex / Impact Grenade
• Field Upgrade: Sleeper Agent (The game’s best overall Field Upgrade) / Morphine Injection (Will pair well with both our chosen pistols)
• Perk #1: Ninja (Reduces the noise you make when moving)
• Perk #2: Forward Intel (Will boost your minimap size and point you toward revealed enemies)
• Perk #3: Cold-Blooded (Makes you undetectable with UAV and immune to thermal. Will also make you immune to spy cams and stop enemy killstreaks from tracking you).
• Specialty: Recon (Will allow you to spot enemies across the map after respawning. You won’t leave skulls behind after killing hostiles)
• Wildcard: Gunfighter

The Best Goblin MK2 BO6 Zombies Loadout

As you can see above, the best Goblin Mk2 loadout for Zombies will be almost identical to its multiplayer one, with the only differences being in the presence of the Suppressor for a great boost in Salvage collection and that of the Tactical Laser. The latter will be vital here, as although using the weapon in this mode will still be cruel to your hands —to say the least— the ability to enter the Tac Stance will make dealing with swarms way easier. To recap, here are the best attachments for those looking to use the Goblin Mk2 in BO6 Zombies:

• Optic: Kepler Microflex
• Muzzle: Suppressor
• Barrel: Gain-Twist Barrel / Using the Long Barrel can also work
• Underbarrel: Vertical Foregrip
• Magazine: Extended Mag I (Not a must)
• Rear Grip: Quickdraw Grip
• Stock: Balanced Stock
• Laser: Tactical Laser

To close our loadout, go with the Stim Shot as your Tactical for survivability. No matter if you are playing solo or in a squad, I recommend going with either the Healing Aura or the Aether Shroud as your initial Field Upgrade.
