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 both Multiplayer and Zombies modes.
Unlocking the Cypher 091

Optimal Cypher 091 Multiplayer Loadout
The Cypher 091 shines in medium-range Multiplayer engagements. Its high damage and accuracy are countered by its slow fire rate at close quarters. This loadout enhances accuracy, extends range, and improves close-range performance:
- Compensator: Enhanced vertical recoil control.
- Reinforced Barrel: Increased damage range and bullet velocity.
- Vertical Foregrip: Significantly improved horizontal recoil control.
- Commando Grip: Faster ADS and sprint-to-fire speed.
- Rapid Fire: Increased fire rate (trades off some recoil, velocity, and range).
Tactical Considerations: Utilize the Cypher 091 for controlling lanes and holding objectives. Scorestreaks like Scout Pulse, UAV, and HARP provide crucial intel.
Recommended Perks:
- Flak Jacket: Reduces explosive and fire damage.
- Dispatcher: Lower score cost for non-lethal Scorestreaks.
- Guardian: Faster healing and revives during objective control.
- Perk Greed: Tac Mask: Resistance to flash/concussion grenades and Neuro Gas.
This perk combination unlocks the Strategist Combat Specialty, boosting objective score and equipment destruction for faster Scorestreak acquisition.
Cypher 091 Loadout for Ranked Play
Ranked Play requires adjustments. Replace Rapid Fire with Recoil Springs for enhanced accuracy. The perk setup changes to:
- Perk 1: Tac Mask
- Perk 2: Fast Hands: Faster weapon swaps and grenade defusal.
- Perk 3: Double Time: Extended Tactical Sprint duration.
- Perk Greed: Flak Jacket
Cypher 091 Zombies Loadout
High damage and accuracy make the Cypher 091 effective against zombies, elites, and bosses. Focus on headshots and critical hits with this loadout:
- Suppressor: Chance for extra salvage.
- CHF Barrel: Increased headshot multiplier (trades off some recoil).
- Vertical Foregrip: Significantly improved horizontal recoil control.
- Extended Mag II: Increased magazine capacity (trades off some ADS speed, reload, and sprint-to-fire).
- Commando Grip: Faster ADS and sprint-to-fire speed.
- Light Stock: Improved hipfire and movement speed.
- Tactical Laser: Adds Tactical Stance Toggle.
- Recoil Springs: Improved horizontal and vertical recoil control.
Synergize with the Deadshot Daiquiri Perk and Dead Head Major Augment for amplified critical damage.
