Luger (German and Russian pistol)

Learn how to use the German and Russian Luger pistols effectively in Call of Duty: Black Ops 6, including when to switch and aiming for headshots.

The German and Russian Luger pistols are functionally identical in Call of Duty: Black Ops 6, differing only in their appearance and sound effects. You should primarily use these pistols when you have run out of ammunition for your primary weapon, especially if you are using a sniper rifle. When an enemy is at close range, attempting to snipe is difficult; instead, switch to your pistol and aim for the head. Each pistol holds approximately 7 shots before requiring a reload, and landing 2 to 3 headshots is typically enough to eliminate an opponent. Pistols can also be effective for securing easy kills against less skilled opponents, conserving precious ammunition, or even for providing suppressing fire in certain situations.
