Instead, you'll need to dive into The Hit List event to claim it for your Gunsmith. Head to the main menu of *Black Ops 6* Multiplayer and click on the "Event" tab, which is your gateway to the game's latest happenings. Inside, find the "Community" section where the Buffer Weight Stock awaits to be unlocked.

The downside for players eager to enhance their favorite *Black Ops 6* weapon with the Buffer Weight Stock is that it's only compatible with three weapons: the XM4 Assault Rifle, the DM-10 Marksman Rifle, and the XMG Light Machine Gun. This limitation is a bit of a letdown, especially since the attachment significantly improves accuracy, a game-changer in Multiplayer. However, keeping it exclusive prevents it from dominating the game.

If you're using one of the eligible weapons, equipping the Buffer Weight Stock is a breeze. It's listed as a Stock attachment in the Gunsmith, so just navigate there and add it to your build. Once equipped, it's time to hit the battlefield, rack up those kills, and contribute to unlocking more rewards from The Hit List.
