How do you unlock the MR6?

The MR6 belongs to the launch Create-a-Class pool; a standard Unlock Token may be required before equipping it in Call of Duty: Black Ops III. It is a semi-automatic service pistol: It provides direct shot-by-shot control as a conventional backup. Use it around that behavior rather than relying on unsupported damage or magazine claims. Its camo track finishes at Chameleon (5 Bloodthirsty medals with all five kills from this weapon). Complete every camo challenge on it and Gold unlocks. Earn Gold on every camo-eligible launch weapon required in its category for Diamond. Complete the required base-game class mastery route to earn Dark Matter.

How does the MR6 play in Black Ops 3?

Rolesemi-automatic service pistol
Real-world basisFictional Black Ops III weapon; no one-to-one real-world model is asserted.
StrengthsThe MR6 gives the class a clear semi-automatic service pistol identity; It provides direct shot-by-shot control as a conventional backup
TradeoffsFast tapping without a settled sight wastes the reason to choose a semi-auto sidearm; Its pistol role still depends on choosing the correct route and first engagement
Useful setupKeep the sidearm responsive and simple so it is ready for an immediate cleanup fight; Decide whether it is a backup or the center of the class before spending attachment slots
Challenge noteComplete its Multiplayer camo challenges on this weapon; post-launch weapons do not expand the original launch-roster Dark Matter requirement.
Progression tipIt is one of the 31 launch weapons required for the original Diamond and Dark Matter route.
Camo tipDraw for a finishing fight and pace the shots around the reticle return.
Compared withThe RK5 groups shots into bursts; the MR6 leaves each shot to the player.

MR6 — common questions

How do you unlock the MR6 in Black Ops 3?

The MR6 is part of the base-game Create-a-Class pool in Call of Duty: Black Ops III multiplayer. The level cap is 55, and prestige is 10 standard Prestige levels followed by Prestige Master progression in the supported current-generation/PC version.

How do you unlock camos on the MR6?

Camo progress is per-weapon. The Multiplayer route starts with nine class-adjusted kill or medal challenges, continues through Ardent, Burnt, Bliss, Battle and Chameleon, then awards Gold per weapon. Diamond covers the original launch weapons in a class, and Dark Matter covers all 31 launch weapons. Campaign, Zombies, permanent Black Market and Extra/CWL camos do not replace the per-weapon Multiplayer ladder and are not prerequisites for Gold, Diamond or Dark Matter. On the MR6 the final tier is Chameleon — 5 Bloodthirsty medals with all five kills from this weapon. After that, Gold needs every camo challenge on the weapon done, and Diamond needs Gold on every camo-eligible launch weapon required in its category, and Dark Matter requires mastery across the base-game weapon classes.
