XMG Mobility Black Ops 6 Loadout

Muzzle:Suppressor
Laser:Strelok Laser
Underbarrel:Ranger Foregrip
Magazine:Belt-Fed
Rear Grip:CQB Grip
Mobility loadouts use the Strelok Laser, swapping your ADS time with the S2F time. To use the Strelok Laser, aim (ADS) and shoot at the same time, instead of (traditionally) aiming *then* shooting.
