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 climb worthwhile. Here are the best loadouts to help you conquer the competition in Black Ops 6.
Top Assault Rifle: AMES 85
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 ranges and excellent mobility. Recent meta shifts have solidified its position as the top AR.
The AMES 85 boasts manageable recoil, impressive range, and solid handling. Here's the optimal setup:
- 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 speed.
- Balanced Stock: Boosted mobility (strafing, movement, hipfire, and aiming while walking).
This configuration minimizes recoil, provides a clear sightline, and maximizes mobility, making it highly effective at various ranges, even while moving and aiming. Its accuracy and agility define the current Black Ops 6 Ranked Play meta.
Best Movement-Focused Loadout: KSV
While Assault Rifles are popular, incorporating SMGs offers a strategic advantage, particularly in Hardpoint, where their mobility enables quicker hill rotations. This KSV build prioritizes movement:
- Compensator: Improved vertical recoil control.
- Ranger Foregrip: Reduced horizontal recoil and increased sprint speed.
- Ergonomic Grip: Faster slide-to-fire, dive-to-fire, and ADS speeds.
- Infiltrator Stock: Enhanced aiming while walking.
- Recoil Springs: Improved horizontal and vertical recoil control.
This build transforms the KSV into an exceptionally mobile SMG. The attachments enhance both mobility and accuracy, making you a harder target while increasing your ability to hit opponents. Coupled with the Gunfighter Wildcard, consider adding:
- Kepler Microflex: Clear sight picture.
- Reinforced Barrel: Increased damage range and bullet velocity.
Top SMG for Aggressive Play: Jackal PDW
For players who excel at eliminating threats before they can capture objectives, the Jackal PDW is a formidable choice. It combines solid mobility, a rapid fire rate, manageable recoil, and decent damage range. It effectively outperforms ARs in close-quarters combat and holds its own at longer ranges. Use these attachments:
- Compensator: Improved vertical recoil control.
- Reinforced Barrel: Increased damage range and bullet velocity.
- Vertical Foregrip: Improved horizontal recoil control.
- Commando Grip: Faster ADS and sprint-to-fire speed.
- Infiltrator Stock: Enhanced aiming while walking.
These loadouts provide a strong foundation for success in Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 Ranked Play.
