How to Equip Optics

Equip an Optic via the Gunsmith

Once you have at least one optic unlocked for your gun, its optic attachment slot will become available. Head over to Loadout > Gunsmith > Attachments Tab and click the Optic slot to bring up a list of all compatible optics.

From there, pick your desired optic and attach it to your gun. If you plan to have more than five (5) attachments, make sure you equip the Gunfighter Wildcard which allows you to use up to eight (8) attachments for your gun.

Optic Reticles Can be Changed By Completing Challenges

Unlike in some of the most recent Call of Duty titles, BO6 Optics have the option of changing their reticles. You can modify your reticle by going to the Gunsmith and navigating to the Customize tab.

Pick from any of the unlocked reticles to change the default reticle of your chosen optic. New reticles are unlocked by completing the unlock challenges tied to them in BO6 Multiplayer or Zombies. You can view them by hovering over any locked reticle in the customize tab.

What are Optics?

Attachments that Modify Your ADS View

Optic attachments modify your ADS view when equipped. Naturally, this affects how fast you can ADS, the zoom magnification when ADS'ed, as well as the panning speed of your camera when ADS'ed.

Players who like a more fast-paced, run and gun playstyle will usually equip optics with minimal zoom, fast sprint to ADS times, and clearer sight pictures. Players who favor long-range fights will tend to pick optics with better magnification.
