Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 is packed with adrenaline-pumping action, but it’s the little features, like weapon inspect, that allow players to appreciate their hard-earned achievements and cosmetics this game has to offer. Weapon inspection lets you take a closer look at the guns, camos, and attachments you’ve leveled up, giving you a chance to admire your loadout mid-game (just make sure you’re safe in a corner somewhere so you don’t die while doing so). Unlike previous games where weapon inspect was just a single button press, Black Ops 6 has changed things up a little bit.
How to Inspect Your Weapon in Black Ops 6
Inspecting your weapon in Black Ops 6 is simple once you know where to find the option, though it’s not as straightforward as in past titles. Here’s how it works:
Enter a Match: Load into any game mode, and wait until you’re fully spawned in.
Open the Emote Menu: Instead of a single button for weapon inspection, you’ll need to open the Emote menu by holding left on the D-pad.
Select Weapon Inspect: Once the Emote menu is open, you’ll see three emote options along with a fourth option to inspect your weapon. Press left on the D-pad again to activate the weapon inspection.
Enjoy the View: Your character will flip the weapon around, showing off every camo detail, attachment, and customization.
This method replaces the quick “weapon inspect” button found in older games, where it was as easy as a single tap. While it adds a step or two, it makes the weapon inspect feature part of a broader interaction menu, similar to emotes and sprays.
Once you know how to inspect your weapon in Call of Duty: Black Ops 6, it’s all about choosing the right time to do it. Weapon inspection is ideal for admiring hard-earned camos like Gold, Diamond, or Dark Matter, and taking in every detail of your chosen attachments. It’s a feature that adds a personal touch and lets you showcase your loadout in all its glory. However, timing matters—while it’s tempting to inspect mid-game, avoid doing it in fast-paced modes like Domination or Hardpoint where even a second’s distraction can be costly. Instead, use it during slower moments or in game modes like Search and Destroy where you have some breathing room. For those who love documenting their progress, weapon inspect also allows you to capture screenshots of your setup.
Ultimately, weapon inspect in Black Ops 6 gives players a way to connect with their customized loadouts and celebrate the grind it took to get there. It’s a small but satisfying addition that’s perfect for showing off to friends or enjoying a brief pause from the action.
