The Cypher 091: Mastering the New Assault Rifle in Black Ops 6
The Cypher 091, a unique bullpup assault rifle in Call of Duty: Black Ops 6, offers a compelling blend of damage and range, offset by a slower fire rate and manageable recoil. This guide details optimal loadouts for Multiplayer and Zombies modes.
Unlocking the Cypher 091
Available in Call of Duty Season 2, the Cypher 091 is a Battle Pass reward. It's found as a High Value Target on Page 8, with a Legendary blueprint on Page 11.

Optimal Cypher 091 Loadout for Multiplayer
The Cypher 091 shines in mid-range Multiplayer engagements. Its high damage and accuracy are countered by its low fire rate at close quarters. This loadout prioritizes accuracy, range, and close-range improvement:
- Compensator: Enhanced vertical recoil control.
- Reinforced Barrel: Increased damage range and bullet velocity.
- Vertical Foregrip: Significantly improved horizontal recoil control.
- Commando Grip: Faster aim down sights (ADS) and sprint-to-fire speed.
- Rapid Fire: Improved fire rate (at the cost of increased recoil and slight reductions in bullet velocity and damage range).
This build makes the Cypher 091 ideal for controlling lanes and securing objectives. Pair it with Scorestreaks like the Scout Pulse, UAV, and HARP for superior intel. Recommended Perks:
- Perk 1: Flak Jacket: Reduced explosive and fire damage.
- Perk 2: Dispatcher: Lower score cost for non-lethal Scorestreaks.
- Perk 3: Guardian: Faster healing during objective capture and holding; quicker revives.
- Perk Greed: Tac Mask: Resistance to flash/concussion grenades and Neuro Gas.
The Strategist Combat Specialty complements this setup, boosting objective scores and equipment destruction for faster Scorestreak acquisition, providing wall-hack for equipment, and faster equipment/upgrade deployment.
Cypher 091 Loadout for Ranked Play
Ranked Play necessitates adjustments. Replace Rapid Fire with Recoil Springs for enhanced accuracy. The recommended Perks are:
- Perk 1: Tac Mask
- Perk 2: Fast Hands: Faster weapon swaps and extended grenade fuse times.
- Perk 3: Double Time: Extended Tactical Sprint duration.
- Perk Greed: Flak Jacket
Cypher 091 Loadout for Zombies
The Cypher 091's high damage and accuracy make it effective against Zombies, elites, and bosses, particularly with headshots. The optimal Zombies loadout includes:
- Suppressor: Chance of extra salvage.
- CHF Barrel: Improved headshot multiplier (at the cost of recoil).
- Vertical Foregrip: Significantly improved horizontal recoil control.
- Extended Mag II: Increased magazine capacity (at the cost of ADS speed, reload, and sprint-to-fire speed).
- Commando Grip: Faster ADS and sprint-to-fire speed.
- Light Stock: Improved hipfire movement, movement speed, and strafing.
- Tactical Laser: Adds Tactical Stance Toggle.
- Recoil Springs: Improved horizontal and vertical recoil control.
Maximize its potential with the Deadshot Daiquiri Perk and the Dead Head Major Augment for increased critical damage.
