Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 Players Show Off Hidden Weapons

As players continue to work their way through the rankings, with some evenalready reaching prestige master inBlack Ops 6, more and more hidden weapons are being discovered. Each time a player reaches a new prestige, they will be able to unlock new rewards at certain levels, including operators and other cosmetic items. Some of these rewards include weapon blueprints, which often come with a fancy camo and some pre-equipped attachments. But it looks like some of these blueprints are actually turning player’s weapons into some of the series' most iconic assault rifles and submachine guns.

While the hidden weapons won’t be much of a secret to those who have already been working their way through the prestige levels, there are plenty of users blissfully unaware of their existence. As noted by ModenasHD on Twitter, one of the blueprints can be unlocked for the Model L assault rifle at prestige 2 level 50, seemingly turning the weapon into the iconicSTG-44 from previous titles such asVanguard,Advanced Warfare, and more.

There are plenty of other unlockable blueprints too, such as the ‘Teddy is a Liar’ blueprint for theC9 submachine gunat prestige 1 level 50. This not only gives players an epic camo for the C9, but it also comes with pre-installed attachments that turn it into the classic Thompson fromCall of Duty: World at War. While these blueprints make it much easier for players to get their hands on these classic weapons, they can also be recreated with a few simple attachments, as shown by Reddit userAKMike99, who managed to turn the XM4 into the M16A3, the AS Val into the VSS Vintorez, and more.
