A Knife-only melee build is always a fun time in Call of Duty, so here’s the best loadout to do so in Black Ops 6.
There's just something extremely satisfying about getting a kill with your Knife in Call of Duty. And now, in Black Ops 6, everyone can have it as their melee weapon. That means Knife-only melee loadouts in Black Ops 6 are possible.
You'll still need to choose some weapons to go in the slots, but as soon as the round begins, you can switch to your Knife. Do that and you'll be fast, nimble, and a danger to anyone that lets you slip past their frontline.
How to unlock the Knife
Well, what do you know? You don't have to do anything at all to unlock the Knife in Black Ops 6. Everyone gets a Knife right out of the gate. There are Knife blueprints, however, that can make your Knife look cooler. And in the case of Mind's Eye, from the Vault Edition, it explodes enemies into pieces if you hit them from behind.
Best primary and secondary weapons for a melee loadout in Black Ops 6
Unfortunately, it goes against everything a melee-only build in Black Ops 6 stands for. But there may be times where you need to swap to a weapon to destroy equipment or a Field Upgrade. Or perhaps you just find that the other team is catching on, so you want a weapon to shoot.
If that's the case, go with the KSV submachine gun as your primary weapon. It'll help you maintain the speed the rest of this loadout is built around. Then pick the CIGMA 2B launcher to help with Scorestreaks and just have fun with explosions. Attachments are all up to preference.

Lethal and Tactical equipment to use with your Knife loadout
Equipment will be very helpful to make the most out of the best Knife and melee-only loadout in Black Ops 6. Use these ones:
- Lethal: Combat Axe
- Tactical: Concussion
Of course you'll need the Combat Axe for this one. You can get a kill by throwing it at an enemy, then slide in and start slashing up his teammates. Couple it with Concussion grenades to slow the opposition, allowing you to catch them for the kill. Go with whatever Field Upgrade you'd like.
Best perks and Wildcard for this melee loadout in Black Ops 6
This is where the fun really begins. Selecting Perks and a Wildcard will make the melee build go from fun to dangerous.
- Perk 1: Ninja
- Perk 2: Bruiser
- Perk 3: Double Time
- Wildcard: Tactical Expert
There will be no Specialty here, as one Perk comes from a different category. So, start with Ninja to make your footsteps quieter as you flank. Add Bruiser for extra score and health regen with melee kills and Finishing Moves. Lastly, go with Double Time to increase your Tac Sprint.
Top it all off with the Tactical Expert Wildcard. This gives you an additional Tactical Equipment item when you spawn. That means you'll have three Concussion grenades to enter rooms with and chop down enemies slowed by its effects.
