The best guns in BO6 Zombies are the Wonder Weapons because of their unique abilities for crowd control and one-shot kill capabilities. The best normal guns you can find are Sally & Forth, ASG-89, and the C9 due to their excellent weapon damage, rate-of-fire, and accuracy that can help you survive up until the late rounds of Zombies.

Best Guns for Zombies

DRI-11 Beamsmasher (Terminus Only)

The DRI-11 Beamsmasher is the best gun to use in Terminus due to its ability to stun and slow enemies down, which gives you and your team some breathing room should all of you get swarmed by hordes of zombies. The wonder weapon itself also packs a tremendous amount of damage and can disintegrate zombies with its laser beam.

This wonder weapon is exclusive to the Terminus map and can be obtained via an easter egg or through the Mystery Box.

How to Get the DRI-11 Beamsmasher

Thrustodyne M23 (Liberty Falls Only)

The Thrustodyne M23 is the strongest weapon you can get your hands on in Liberty Falls because of its crowd control potential. This gun has the ability to suck all nearby zombies and grind them into small bits, as well as a secondary mode where upon activation, releases a powerful shockwave that can stun a large group of zombies.

This wonder weapon is unique to the Liberty Falls map and can be obtained via an easter egg or through the Mystery Box.

How to Get the Thrustodyne M23

Ray Gun

The Ray Gun can easily annihilate groups of zombies because of its splash damage ability. The weapon itself is also powerful enough to one-shot kill zombies in a single shot and is the ideal weapon for solo players.

How to Get the Ray Gun

Sally & Forth

Sally & Forth are dual pistols that function similarly to a grenade launcher, as it fires explosive rounds capable of blowing up a horde in one blast. Try pairing this with the PHD Flopper perk so you can wreak havoc by causing a lot of explosions in a crowded area.

The only downside to this weapon is that you will have to grind the GS45 to Level 31 in order to unlock the Akimbo attachment needed to get the Sally & Forth.

ASG-89

The ASG-89 is a shotgun that fires automatically without having to pump it like with all other shotguns. With this, you'll have the powerful damage of a shotgun while also being able to fire at a faster firing rate, which is something you'll need when facing hordes of the undead.

It performs extremely well at early rounds, but eventually its damage will fall off later on and you'll have to Pack-a-Punch it to maintain its excellent damage output.

ASG-89 Best Loadout and Build

C9

C9 is a good SMG to use in Zombies because of its excellent mobility. In later rounds, zombies will eventually start running, so you'll need a gun that allows you to move quickly around the map to escape their grasp. Not to mention that the C9 also hits hard and you can easily deal with zombies with little to no difficulty.

C9 Best Loadout and Build

Marine SP

Marine SP may be slow due to it being a pump-action shotgun, but its powerful damage makes up for that flaw. A good strategy to use with this shotgun is to round up zombies in a single line and then tear them to shreds with the Marine SP.

Marine SP Best Loadout and Build

XM4

The XM4 is the best starting weapon that you can bring in Zombies due to its versatility. It has above average accuracy, damage, and rate-of-fire, perfect for farming points in earlier rounds to save up for more powerful weapons later on.

To make things even better, the XM4 is already unlocked by default and you can already equip it even if you're just a brand new player in Zombies mode.

XM4 Best Loadout and Build

AK-74

AK-74 is powerful enough that you can use it from early to later rounds in Zombies mode. If you can't get a Wonder Weapon or if you have no intentions of getting one, then you can stick with the AK-74 and just improve its Rarity and Pack-a-Punch level.

This weapon may be more suitable for experienced players since the recoil is difficult to control, so consider this as a high risk, high reward weapon.

AK-74 Best Loadout and Build

XMG

For Light Machine Gun enthusiasts, the XMG is our best pick due to the amount of damage it has that allows you to decimate zombies within mere seconds. Its high ammo count also lets you fire on zombies without having to worry about having to reload often.

This LMG however, comes with several cons such as slow movement and an incredibly long reload time, but its damage and generous magazine capacity and ammo reserve will more than enough make up for those issues.

XMG Best Loadout and Build
