The GS45 is a formidable pistol across all modes in Call of Duty: Black Ops 6. This variant of the USP 45 can take down enemies with just two shots in standard multiplayer and transforms into the iconic Mustang & Sally explosive sidearms in Zombies mode. If you need a dependable pistol for any scenario, the GS45 is a choice you can trust.
In this guide, we’ll explore two different builds for the GS45, each designed to significantly enhance its capabilities. The first will focus on optimizing its performance in multiplayer, while the second will be tailored for its Pack-A-Punched counterpart in Zombies.
Multiplayer GS45 Build
| GS45 Build | ||
|---|---|---|
| Attachment | Pros and Cons | Advanced Stats |
| Kepler Microflex (Optic) | ||
| Suppressor (Muzzle) | ||
| Long Barrel (Barrel) | ||
| Extended Mag I (Magazine) |
|
|
| Quickdraw Grip (Rear Grip) | ||
Pistols can be surprisingly effective in multiplayer, especially at close range. Adding a Long Barrel increases the effective range for a two-shot kill. Pairing it with a Quickdraw Grip enhances your aiming speed, while the Extended Mag I nearly doubles your ammo capacity but slightly slows down your reload time. Using a Suppressor helps you stay off the radar, and any optic can assist with clearer targeting during combat.

Combining a silenced pistol with the Recon specialty proves effective. Equip Ghost to avoid detection, and take advantage of Ninja to minimize noise while moving. We suggest using Vigilance to benefit from the Recon set bonus and Fast Hands for a quick weapon switch to your GS45 when needed.
Zombies GS45 Build
| GS45 Build | ||
|---|---|---|
| Attachment | Pros and Cons | Advanced Stats |
| Suppressor (Muzzle) |

When using the GS45 in Zombies, you’ll either be hunting for camos or planning to Pack-A-Punch the weapon for a more explosive performance. If you’re going for the latter, attaching Akimbo will maximize your damage per second. Although this will reduce hipfire accuracy, you can compensate with the Steady Aim Laser.
For better handling, consider using the Short Barrel to avoid penalties associated with midair shots, along with the CQB Grip for minimizing delays when firing after sprinting. Adding a Suppressor will help increase the Salvage loot dropped from kills.
