Dominate Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 Ranked Play with These Top Loadouts

This year's Call of Duty Ranked Play offers substantial rewards, making the grind worthwhile. Here's a breakdown of the best loadouts to secure victory in Black Ops 6 Ranked Play.

Best Assault Rifle: AMES 85

Assault Rifles consistently reign supreme in Call of Duty Ranked Play, and Black Ops 6 is no exception. The AMES 85 stands out due to its versatility across various ranges and excellent mobility. Recent updates have solidified its position as the top AR. Its manageable recoil, solid range, and decent handling make it exceptionally user-friendly.

Recommended AMES 85 Attachments:

  • Kepler Microflex: Provides a clear sight picture.
  • Compensator: Improves vertical recoil control.
  • Vertical Foregrip: Enhances horizontal recoil control.
  • Commando Grip: Boosts ADS and sprint-to-fire speed.
  • Balanced Stock: Improves overall mobility.

This setup minimizes recoil, offers clear sightlines, and maximizes mobility, making the AMES 85 highly effective at various ranges, even while moving and aiming.

Best Movement Loadout: KSV

While Assault Rifles are popular, SMGs offer a significant mobility advantage, particularly in modes like Hardpoint. This KSV build prioritizes movement.

KSV Attachments:

  • Compensator: Improves vertical recoil control.
  • Ranger Foregrip: Improves horizontal recoil control and sprinting speed.
  • Ergonomic Grip: Enhances slide-to-fire, dive-to-fire, and ADS speeds.
  • Infiltrator Stock: Improves aim walking movement speed.
  • Recoil Springs: Improves both horizontal and vertical recoil control.

Coupled with the Gunfighter Wildcard, consider adding:

  • Kepler Microflex: Clear sight picture.
  • Reinforced Barrel: Increased damage range and bullet velocity.

Best SMG for Slayers: Jackal PDW

For players focused on eliminating enemies to secure objectives, the Jackal PDW excels. Its blend of mobility, rapid fire rate, manageable recoil, and decent damage range makes it superior to ARs in close quarters and competitive at longer ranges.

Jackal PDW Attachments:

  • Compensator: Improves vertical recoil control.
  • Reinforced Barrel: Improved damage range and bullet velocity.
  • Vertical Foregrip: Improves horizontal recoil control.
  • Commando Grip: Boosts ADS and sprint-to-fire speed.
