↖ C9 Meta Build
As per community data, C9 Meta Build is currently having most players using it because people say so. It gives a balance between recoil control, range and mobility to make it suitable across various combat scenarios.

Wildcard Requirement
To run all eight attachments at once, Gunfighter Wildcard must be used which unlocks at level 33 player.
Alternative Five-Attachment Setup:
In case you want to use a different wildcard or even do not yet have Gunfighter, there is a simplified version of the build with just five attachments:
- Muzzle: Compensator
- Barrel: Long Barrel
- Underbarrel: Vertical Foregrip
- Grip: Ergonomic Grip
- Fire Modification: Recoil Springs
Thus, it is possible to maintain the most important features of the full build while providing for some variations in loadout.

↖ Pro Tip: Level Up Quickly to Unlock All Attachments
In order to best employ any of these builds, you must have all appropriate C9 attachments unlocked. Focus on expediting your levelling up processes either by fulfilling your objectives or playing strategic-based game modes such as Domination or Hardpoint; always make use of double XP tokens available. After unlocking every attachment, try out these options until you find one that fits your playstyle perfectly.

The C9 SMG in Call of Duty Black Ops 6 is an absolute beast and there is something for everyone amongst these three Loadouts builds. You might favor the multi-purpose nature of the Meta Build, Shotzzy's radical approach or Scump's pinpoint-aimed setup and with these loadouts at your disposal, you will have a leg up in any game.
