The TR2 brings the FAL to Black Ops 6, with this being the latest rendition of the iconic weapon that is perfect for semi-auto enthusiasts when used with a meta loadout.

If you’ve been playing Call of Duty for a long time, you’ll know just how popular the FAL has been over the years. From its debut in the original Modern Warfare 2 to its impact in Black Ops 2 and later Modern Warfare (2019) and even Warzone, the FAL has always been a fan favorite.

However, we’ve gone quite a few years without an FAL, but now it finally returns as the TR2, giving players the chance to use it at long last. To get the most out of this marksman rifle, you’ll want to use the following loadout that makes it as strong as possible.

Best Black Ops 6 TR2 loadout attachments

• Optic: Kepler Microflex
• Muzzle: Compensator
• Barrel: Long Barrel
• Underbarrel: Vertical Foregrip
• Magazine: Extended Mag I
• Rear Grip: Ergonomic Grip
• Stock: Heavy Stock
• Fire Mods:Rapid Fire

The TR2 benefits a lot from running eight attachments with Gunfighter. These extra slots allow you to use everything needed to make the gun as strong as possible, including Rapid Firethat lowers its TTK from a sluggish 300 ms to a much more competitive 270 ms.

However, the recoil with this attachment is far from ideal, so you’ll also want to equip the Compensator and Vertical Foregripto make it more controllable. Similarly, using Rapid Fire will empty your magazine faster, making the Extended Mag Ia good option to avoid having to reload as often.

Another way you can make landing shots easier is by using the Heavy Stockand Kepler Microflex. When combined, these attachments massively reduce flinch and give you a meta optic – perfect for landing those crucial headshots that this gun relies on so much.

To round off this build, use the Ergonomic Gripto improve several key handling stats and the Long Barrel to boost range. Given the TR2’s low bullet velocity, the Reinforced Barrel works well too, so feel free to experiment around with both of these and see what works best for you.

Best TR2 class: Perks, Equipment, Combat Speciality

• Wildcard: Gunfighter
• Perk 1: Dexterity
• Perk 2: Assassin
• Perk 3: Slipstream
• Specialty: Enforcer
• Lethal: Molotov
• Tactical: Flashbang
• Field Upgrade: Assault Pack

While Gunfighter isn’t necessary on most guns, it makes a big difference on the TR2, as the weapon’s various flaws can only be mitigated by using several attachments. You can cover another weakness by using the Assault Pack, which can be deployed to replenish ammo quickly, with this marksman rifle otherwise emptying its reserves rather quickly.

For perks, you want to focus on using ones that benefit a more aggressive playstyle, as the TR2 is reliant on close-range headshots to be competitive. For aggression, Enforcer and red perks like Dexterity, Assassin, and Slipstream make the most sense. The benefits provided by these make winning gunfights easier and reward you for making the opening play.

Your choice of equipment largely comes down to personal preference, but the Molotov can be useful for burning enemies up close – an area where using the TR2 isn’t always the easiest to use. Likewise, a Flashbang can be thrown to blind others, giving you the edge in a gunfight where you would normally be at a disadvantage.

Where is the TR2 in BO6’s meta?

Unfortunately, Treyarch has not done the TR2 justice, with this rendition of the FAL being the worst we’ve ever seen in Call of Duty. In fact, this gun isn’t just weak compared to FALs of the past, but also to the other semi-auto weapons in Black Ops 6.

Regardless of how you build it, the TR2 will either end up being a worse version of the Goblin Mk2 or a worse version of the DM-10. Either way, there’s no real reason to use it over either of those weapons. It simply doesn’t deal enough damage given its restrictive fire rate cap of just 400 RPM. Even with Rapid Fire equipped, it’s still only viable at best and by no means meta.

Its only saving grace is that if you can land a headshot up close, the TR2 is capable of a TTK of just 150 ms. That’s incredibly fast, but also not overly practical given the presence of Omnimovement and constant sliding in this year’s game. Unless Treyarch gives the TR2 a substantial buff, we’d recommend avoiding this gun.

How to unlock the TR2

The TR2 can be unlocked by completing the Shadow Hunt event, with the marksman rifle being the grand prize for finishing all six event challenges.

Best alternatives

The Goblin Mk2is essentially just a better version of the TR2, offering similar damage while having better handling, mobility, and fire rate. If you enjoy the punchiness of the TR2, consider using the DM-10instead, as this deadly marksman rifle has the fastest TTK in the game.
