Best AMES 85 loadout in Black Ops 6 — accurate and deadly

AMES 85 has earned everyone’s attention for its high accuracy and optimal damage output. Why not make it better? We’re here to help you to get the best out of the assault rifle.

In Black Ops 6 there are various attachments, equipment, and perks that are meant to create great loadouts – this best AMES 85 loadout guide can take advantage of that.

What sets the AMES 85 from other ARs in the BO6 is its support for playstyles that rely on movement and holding angles. Moreover, it also has a good range, which ends up being problematic for people on the other side of the gun barrel.

The best AMES 85 loadout to butcher foes in Black Ops 6

As mentioned before, the AMES 85 shines out in Black Ops 6 for its high fire rate with substantial damage, but it still has some room for improvement. 

With this loadout, we will be focusing on increasing its accuracy further while keeping its damage output in check. Let’s look at the attachments you should focus on with AMES 85 AR:

Before we explain why you chose these attachments, equip the Gunfighter Wildcard, which can be unlocked at Player Level 33. Once that is done, feel free to follow along.

We have chosen Accu-Spot Reflex optics, for its clean view while aiming down sights, however, you can change it according to your preference. We’ve added in Muzzle Brake to support accurate single firing.

For the Barrel, make sure to attach Reinforced Barrel, as this would substantially increase the AR’s damage.  Furthermore, there are no cons while using it, which is a bonus.

Since moving around with assault rifles is a bit slower when compared to SMGs in Black Ops 6, the Ranger Foregrip will help compensate for it slightly. Moreover, it also gives control over its horizontal recoil, making it stable.

Since you’ll have more slots for using Gunsmith Wildcard, adding in an Extended Mag 1 wouldn’t hurt at all. This would increase your ammo capacity slightly and will make reloading less frequent.

To improve your mobility further, add Balanced Stock as one of the attachments. This boosts overall player movement while using the gun without having any disadvantages.

Lastly, to decrease the overall recoil of the gun, use Recoil Springs user Fire Mods. This attachment reduces both vertical and horizontal recoil, which will make it even more accurate.

Perks that go along with AMES 85 in Black Ops 6

A perk combination makes or breaks a great loadout. For using the AMES 85 loadout, these are the best perk combinations to use:

• Perk 1 – Dexterity: This will reduce fall damage, and keep the weapon accurate when while using BO6’s omni-movement.
• Perk 2 – Assassin: This will mark any enemy that uses a kill streak, and hunting them grants extra points.
• Perk 3 – Double Time: Increases the duration of Tactical Sprint, allowing you to stay nimble longer.
• Specialty – Enforcer: On successfully eliminating a target, you’re granted extra movement speed and health regen rate.
• Wildcard – Gunsmith: Allows you to have 3 extra attachment slots in Gunsmith. (Must for using this loadout)

Sidearm, Melee, and Field Upgrades to pick

To add the cherry on top, you’ll need to have good supporting gadgets and weapons that go well with AMES 85 in Black Ops 6. Here are picks that go well with this loadout:

• Pistol – Grekhova: The full-auto pistol might come in handy during situations when you run out of ammo on the AMES 85.
• Melee – Knife: During extreme close combat situations, using this is a one-hit kill.
• Tactical – Stim Shot: Regenerates your health and replenishes Tactical Sprint.
• Lethal – Blast Trap: Proximity-activated explosive devices that can watch your six.
• Field Upgrade – Scrambler: Creates a small area that disrupts enemy equipment, field upgrades, scorestreaks, and minimap.

With this loadout, the AMES 85 becomes unstoppable which would likely cause a lot of trouble for the enemy team. Moreover, this loadout is support for both angle-holding and run-and-gun playstyles.

You’ll have to grind Black Ops 6 a bit to get the most out of AMES 85. However, it is worth the trouble as it is one of the best available ARs in the game.
