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

This year's Call of Duty Ranked Play offers fantastic rewards, making the grind well worth it. Here are the optimal loadouts to help you conquer the competition in Black Ops 6 Ranked Play.

Top 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 best 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 a clear sight, and ensures excellent mobility, making the AMES 85 highly effective at most ranges, even while moving and aiming.

Best Movement-Focused Loadout: KSV

While Assault Rifles are popular, incorporating SMGs, particularly in Hardpoint, can provide a significant advantage due to their superior mobility. This KSV build prioritizes movement.

KSV Attachments:

  • Compensator: Improves vertical recoil control.
  • Ranger Foregrip: Improves horizontal recoil control and sprinting speed.
  • Ergonomic Grip: Boosts slide/dive-to-fire and ADS speed.
  • Infiltrator Stock: Improves aim walking movement speed.
  • Recoil Springs: Further enhances recoil control.

With these attachments, the KSV becomes an incredibly mobile SMG, enhancing both accuracy and agility. Combining it with the Gunfighter Wildcard allows for additional attachments like the Kepler Microflex and Reinforced Barrel for increased damage range and bullet velocity.

Top SMG for Aggressive Play: Jackal PDW

For players who prefer 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 combat and competitive at longer ranges.

Jackal PDW Attachments:

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

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

Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 and Warzone are available now on PlayStation, Xbox, and PC.
