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 worthwhile. Here are the best 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 top AR.
Its manageable recoil, solid range, and decent handling make it exceptionally user-friendly. Optimize it with these attachments:
- Kepler Microflex: Crystal-clear sight picture.
- Compensator: Enhanced vertical recoil control.
- Vertical Foregrip: Improved horizontal recoil control.
- Commando Grip: Faster ADS and sprint-to-fire speeds.
- Balanced Stock: Boosted mobility, including strafing, movement, hipfire movement, and aiming while walking.
This setup delivers incredibly low recoil, a clear sight picture, and superior mobility, making the AMES 85 highly effective at most ranges, even while moving and aiming. Its accuracy and agility make it a meta-defining weapon.
Best Movement-Focused Loadout: KSV

While Assault Rifles are popular, incorporating SMGs into your team strategy, particularly in Hardpoint, can provide a significant advantage through rapid map rotations. This KSV build prioritizes mobility:
- 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.

Combined with the Gunfighter Wildcard, add the Kepler Microflex and Reinforced Barrel for even better range and bullet velocity. This build transforms the KSV into an incredibly mobile SMG, increasing both accuracy and evasiveness.
Top SMG for Aggressive Play: Jackal PDW

For players who excel at eliminating threats to secure objectives, the Jackal PDW is a formidable SMG. Its solid mobility, rapid fire rate, manageable recoil, and respectable damage range make it superior to ARs at close range and competitive at longer distances. Use these attachments:
- Compensator: Improved vertical recoil control.
- Reinforced Barrel: Enhanced damage range and bullet velocity.
- Vertical Foregrip: Improved horizontal recoil control.
- Commando Grip: Faster ADS and sprint-to-fire speeds.
- Infiltrator Stock: Improved aiming while walking.
