Shooting and eliminating enemies are the key aspects of Black Ops 6. While this objective is challenging initially with the base weapons, the COD games always present players with a range of weapon attachments that help them fight even the toughest enemies of the games. Sometimes, these attachments even bring unique abilities, and the ones in Black Ops 6 aren’t an exception. 

While the latest Balck Ops installment has brought a range of new content to explore, there are also multiple attachments that players need to unlock to make the survival process easier. Among them, one unique weapon attachment named 12 Gauge Dragon’s Breath makes players a powerful slayer.

Black Ops is one of the finest Call of Duty sub-series, therefore, the expectations are always high. Do note that the Season 1 update is live in Warzone and Black Ops 6. Therefore, a bunch of new content has been added to the game. Among them comes the 12 Gauge Dragon’s Breath, which is an attachment to set things on fire. 

If you are a veteran player, you are aware that this attachment is not a new introduction this season; instead, it was previously seen in other COD games, and most recently, it was added to Modern Warfare 3.

However, for the newcomers, this is an attachment for shotguns, which turns shotgun pellets into incendiary rounds to burn enemies. Once your enemies are hit by 12 Gauge Dragon’s Breath, they will get damaged over time, and this attachment is really useful during close-range fights. Using this in multiplayer mode will help players tackle the enemy teams way faster.

Naturally, players would love to get a powerful attachment like this one, but the point is that this shotgun attachment isn’t available by default. Therefore, certain criteria should be fulfilled to unlock this. The first among them is to purchase the Battle Pass. Well, this attachment is added to the season’s Battle Pass and there’s no other option to unlock it if you don’t have it, at least during this season.

For the Battle Pass owners, the 12 Gauge Dragon’s Breath is located on the seventh page. Therefore, keep progressing through Season 1, and eventually, you will unlock the pages of the Battle Pass. Once you reach the seventh page, spend Battle Pass Tokens to get the 12 Gauge Dragon’s Breath. 

Remember, this attachment doesn’t require you to claim all other rewards from that same page. Therefore, once you unlock Page 7, you can get it as the first reward if you have enough Battle Pass Tokens.

Don’t worry if you are not planning to purchase the Battle Pass but want to have this wonderful attachment. There’s a way, but it will take some waiting. Once Season 1 ends, this attachment will shift to Armory. Therefore, even if you don’t have a Battle Pass, you can still unlock it from Armory after Season 1 by earning a certain amount of XP. To access Armory, first, go to Challenges, and from there select Armory. 

Once it is unlocked, players can attach it to any shotgun they prefer. Anyway, one thing to be ensured is that the Fire Mod slot of that specific weapon should be available. One thing to remember before using this attachment is that your weapon can’t have any barrel attachments until this is removed. 

Now if you are confused about whether getting this attachment is worth it or not, that’s completely your decision. If you are someone who loves long-range fights, this is not for you, but for players who prefer close-range battles, this attachment can be their savior as the fire damage is deadly.
