UPDATE: Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 has officially released, and the meta is constantly evolving as players discover the strongest weapons for multiplayer.
While Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 features a vast array of weapons, the DM-10 stands out as one of the top choices for dominating in long-range combat. Assault rifles and sniper rifles aren’t your only options for inflicting massive damage from a distance. Marksman Rifles are also a fantastic selection in this installment of Call of Duty, with the DM-10 leading the pack.
Even if the DM-10 isn’t universally hailed as the absolute best weapon in its category, it can still dominate the map when outfitted with the correct attachments. As a semi-automatic rifle, you’ll need to be ready to rapidly fire shots. Landing your hits successfully will deal devastating damage. In this guide, we’ll walk you through maximizing its potential with the best DM-10 loadout and class setup.

The Best DM-10 Loadout
- Barrel – Long Barrel
- Fire Mods – Rapid Fire
- Muzzle – Ported Compensator
- Optic – Kepler Microflex
- Underbarrel – Weighted Handguard
Since the DM-10 is incapable of killing its opponent with only a single shot, players should make sure that they can quickly fire as many bullets as possible instead of simply focusing on its power. This is where the Rapid Fire Mod comes in handy since it allows your weapon’s rate of fire to speed up, which, in turn, lets you shoot as quickly as you can keep spamming that trigger.
However, there’s a catch that’s attached to using Rapid Fire, which is that it enhances both horizontal and vertical recoil. This is why it’s highly recommended that you use the Ported Compensator and the Weighted Handguard Underbarrel with this fire mod. They’ll help you reduce the weapon’s kick, allowing you to aim and shoot the enemy easily and quickly.
The Long Barrel helps enhance the DM-10’s damage range, whereas the Kepler Microflex makes it easier for players to shoot their enemies at long range. Let’s move on to the best DM-10 Perks and class setup because what is a loadout without the perfect class build?
The Best DM-10 Perks & Class Setup
- Perk 1 – Ghost
- Perk 2 – Engineer
- Perk 3 – Cold-Blooded
- Specialty – Recon
- Wildcard – Perk Greed
- Perk Greed – Dexterity
- Lethal – Frag Grenade
- Tactical – Concussion
- Field Upgrade – Trophy System
The Recon specialty pairs well with the DM-10 since it allows players to see their enemies through walls once they spawn. Make sure to get three blue perks to activate this specialty. Ghost makes players undetectable by radar pings and opponent UAVs (it only works when you’re moving, so don’t stand still for long), whereas Engineer helps to view any equipment the enemy might have kept down. Cold-Blooded prevents AI killstreaks from targeting you.
These Perks are excellent since they offer intelligence and protection, which are two major aspects of the franchise. You can use the Perk Greed Wildcard to equip a fourth Perk, with Dexterity being a great option since it decreases weapon motion when players are on the move. Frag is perfect as a lethal since it helps bring out enemies who are camping.
However, if you’re an aggressive player, then go for the Concussion grenade as the tactical since it’s ideal for stunning your enemies, leaving them open to attacks. Last but not least, the Trophy System Field Upgrade is used to block enemy equipment and get your hands on some points to help your team win a couple more Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 matches.
