The best wild card in Black Ops 6 will vary from player to player, not only in terms of preferred play style and content, but also the types of games they spend most of their time playing. Danger Close and Tactical Expert can be incredibly useful in Domination and Hardpoint, or on smaller maps where it's easy to predict where the enemy team will be.
