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

AMES 85 Loadout

Assault Rifles consistently reign supreme in Ranked Play, and Black Ops 6 is no exception. The AMES 85 stands out due to its versatility across various ranges and impressive 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: Clear sight picture.
  • Compensator: Improved vertical recoil control.
  • Vertical Foregrip: Enhanced horizontal recoil control.
  • Commando Grip: Faster ADS and sprint-to-fire speed.
  • Balanced Stock: Increased mobility.

This setup minimizes recoil, provides a clear sightline, and ensures excellent mobility, making the AMES 85 effective at most ranges, even while moving and aiming.

Best Movement Loadout: KSV

KSV Loadout

While Assault Rifles are popular, incorporating one or two SMGs into your squad offers strategic advantages, particularly in Hardpoint. The KSV's mobility surpasses ARs, allowing for rapid hill rotations. This build prioritizes movement.

Recommended KSV Attachments:

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

With these attachments, the KSV becomes an exceptionally mobile SMG. Increased accuracy and agility make you a harder target while improving your ability to hit enemies. Combining this with the Gunfighter Wildcard allows for additional attachments like the Kepler Microflex and Reinforced Barrel for extended range and damage.

Best SMG for Slayers: Jackal PDW

Jackal PDW Loadout

For players focused on eliminating enemies before they can capture objectives, the Jackal PDW excels. Its mobility, fast fire rate, manageable recoil, and decent damage range make it superior to ARs in close quarters and competitive at longer ranges.

Recommended Jackal PDW Attachments:

  • Compensator: Improved vertical recoil control.
  • Reinforced Barrel: Increased damage range and bullet velocity.
  • Vertical Foregrip: Enhanced horizontal recoil control.
  • Commando Grip: Faster ADS and sprint-to-fire speed.
  • Infiltrator Stock: Increased aim walking movement speed.

These loadouts represent the current meta for Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 Ranked Play.
