The Jackal PDW has emerged as one of the best weapons you can use in the Black Ops 6 beta, but you can take it to the next level by building a loadout with the best attachments.
These parts take the gun from great to game-changing, and it'll be hard to use anything else afterwards! Find out which attachments you should be using in our full Jackal PDW loadout below.

Rear Grip: Ergonomic Grip

As an SMG the Jackal PDW is already hypermobile, so these attachments are designed to keep the weapon's recoil at bay.
This extends the gun's usefulness from strictly short-range encounters to a hybrid short and medium-range monster, which is perfect for many of Black Ops 6's maps.
While I've opted to forgo an optic and stick with the iron sights, you could switch out the Ergonomic Grip for a sight of your choice if you're struggling to properly aim. It's no use having the benefits of any attachments after all if you're unable to hit your shots!
You will, of course, need to do a fair amount of levelling to unlock all of the above attachments, but the grind is more than worth it as it'll let you dominate games and become any enemy's nightmare.
Best perks for Jackal PDW
-
Perk 1: Ghost (Recon) / Scavenger (Enforcer)
-
Perk 2: Gung-Ho (Enforcer)
-
Perk 3: Double Time (Enforcer)
These perk choices combine perfectly with the Jackal PDW's enhanced movement, letting you stay on the go which will help you pick up more kills and avoid more damage.
For Perk 1 I've opted for two separate picks, depending on what you'd rather and also the new bonus system. In an ideal world, Ghost is definitely my pick, as it'll let you get closer to enemies without them knowing you're there, which is where the Jackal really thrives.
However, Scavenger is also a fantastic choice that allows you to keep your ammo high during those lengthy kill streaks, while also combining with the other two perks to activate the Enforcer Specialty, which grants speed and health regen increases after killing an enemy.
Gung-Ho is just a great choice for Perk 2, as you'll not receive any movement penalties while sprinting, and you can also reload during a tactical sprint, which is essential to keep your mags topped up.
Finally, the obvious choice in Perk 3 is Double Time, which greatly increases the duration of your tactical sprint, which is an essential part of staying on the move and closing the gap to enemies.
Pairing this with Gung-Ho is also a match made in heaven, as you'll benefit from reloading during your extended tactical sprint, ensuring that your gun will be ready to unleash the pain when you stop.
