The AMR Mod 4, the Barret .50 Cal, has arrived in Black Ops 6 through the CODMAS event, bringing another incredibly deadly semi-automatic sniper rifle.
The Barret has been a Call of Duty staple, appearing in all of the original Modern Warfare games as well as Black Ops Cold War, Treyarch’s previous game. Now called the AMR Mod 4, its semi-automatic fire rate makes it a fantastic choice for taking down enemies in quick succession.
You’ll need the meta attachments, perks, and equipment to get the most from it, so here’s the best AMR Mod 4 loadout in Black Ops 6.
Best BO6 AMR Mod 4 loadout attachments
- Muzzle: Ported Compensator
- Barrel: Reinforced Barrel
- Magazine: Extended Mag 1
- Rear Grip: Commando Grip
- Laser: Strelok Laser
With Gunfighter Wildcard:
- Stock Pad: Lightweight Pad
- Comb: Combat Riser
- Fire Mod: Recoil Springs
Building the best Black Ops 6 AMR Mod 4 loadout is all about improving its mobility, recoil control, and bullet velocity.
To kick things off, the Ported Compensator is a great choice as it gives less recoil on the first shot and reduces vertical recoil, making it easier to recenter for the next target. The Reinforced Barrel increases both bullet velocity and damage range – to vital stats for a Sniper Rifle.
The Extended Mag is worth equipping as it’ll give you a few extra shots before moving on to the next target. You’ll want to increase the AMR Mod 4’s mobility, so the Commando Grip increases both sprint to fire and ADS speed, and finally, the Strelok Laser makes quickscoping easier as you’ll be more accurate when aiming in.
Gunfighter is totally optional on this loadout but if you want to use it, we’d recommend the Lightweight Pad for less aiming idle sway, Combat Riser for better flinch resistance, and Recoil Springs to further improve recoil control.
Best perks, wildcard & equipment
- Perk 1: Gung-Ho
- Perk 2: Fast Hands
- Perk 3: Double Time
- Perk 4 (Perk Greed): Dexterity
- Field Upgrade: Trophy System
- Tactical Equipment: Stim Shot
- Lethal Equipment: Frag
- Wildcard: Perk Greed or Gunfighter
We’d recommend using the Perk Greed Wildcard with the AMR Mod 4 as you’ll be able to use the Enforcer Combat Speciality, buffing your health regeneration and movement speed after each kill while still being able to use Fast Hands.
Gung-Ho lets you reload while sprinting which keeps you mobile, while Double Time increases your Tactical Sprint duration to quickly get around the map. And throwing Fast Hands in the mix lets you quickly swap to a pistol if you’re in trouble.

Perk Greed lets you add Dexterity is the perfect combination for a sniper as after each kill, you’ll be immediately ready for the next foe or have the movement speed for a quick getaway. If you prefer having eight attachments, then you should drop Dexterity.
The Trophy System is always handy as it’ll keep you safe from incoming explosives. The Stim lets you quickly regain health even if you didn’t get the kill, and a perfectly cooked Frag Grenade is devastating.
